1 Corinthians 7
1 Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.
Ni tu tre wa bi nha din. “Abi ndi du ndi duna hei ni wah na”.
2 But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband.
Ni tuter kpa wa ani du ndi lha ter wu ti fasikanci wu bar ma, wabi ndi du son ni wah ma, u wah me ka son ni lhon ma.
3 Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband.
Du lilon coka alkawali u bayi bula kpa u wama wawu wah me ka no lho ma kpe wa hul ho ni bukata ni kpa ma a.
4 The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife.
Ana wah hei ni iko kpa mana a lho ma he ni ike kpawaha naki ilho me ana he ni iko wu ka kpama nyu wah na kpa ma me a wu wahma
5 Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.
Na kpaye ni zukpani kakpahibi na, bita hei ni yarda kpambi u ton wa agamshe yia. Bitei na mba ndi du tunbi hi riri ni bre Rji. Ni lha gyi tumbi ye ni kubu Rji ni mla son hi, toki du meme briyi na kpayi ti meme na don bi na son ni gbegble na.
6 But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord.
Me bla ter bayi ni yiwu ba don me no yi doka ko me ka gbi yi suron ba.
7 It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.
Ana bi du konha du he na mu yi. Konha he nikpe wa Rji no a. iri hei ni kpe mu, u wamu he ni kperi kan.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them to be even as I am.
Imba bi wa ba na gra na baba mba bi koh abi du ba na gra na wu mu'a.
9 But if they have not self-control let them get married; for married life is better than the burning of desire.
Ama idan ba na iya vu tumba na ba ka gra. A fi duba gra ni du ba ri lu.
10 But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband
Nibiyi wa bi son gra mi noyi mer ana me n, a wawu Rji ter tawu, iwah du na kama ni lon ma na.
11 (Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife.
(U wa u gra nita kalon ma don, wu kason hama ni gra gari, ko ka kmaye da mla son mba tie mba lon ma), wu wawu lulon me kana kpeyem da ka wah ma don na.
12 But to the rest I say, and not the Lord; If a brother has a wife who is not a Christian, and it is her desire to go on living with him, let him not go away from her.
Me tre niyiwu burbi, lme ana Rji na idan vayi ma don na. Me tre niyiwu burbi, lme ana Rji na idan vayi ma a he ni wah wa ana kpa Rji, n nda kpeyemni son ma niwu, wa kana kama ni son nawu na.
13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a Christian, and it is his desire to go on living with her, let her not go away from her husband.
U wah wa ba gra da son ba lon ma u lilon ana kpaji na wu spom mba abi, wawu wah kana ka lon ma don na.
14 For the husband who has not faith is made holy through his Christian wife, and the wife who is not a Christian is made holy through the brother: if not, your children would be unholy, but now are they holy.
NI lulin wa ana to tre Rji na a ke babbe ni wah ma, u wah wa ana kpa Rji na a kebabbe ni lon ma, naki imba naki ba mir mba ba na hei ni suron wu kpanma na. Wu anihi Jaji wu son babi kpah wu son deidei ma.
15 But if the one who is not a Christian has a desire to go away, let it be so: the brother or the sister in such a position is not forced to do one thing or the other: but it is God's pleasure that we may be at peace with one another.
Wu wawu wa a son wu bima wu whu Irji a ter wa wawu ni nyu, waka nyu me hgei. Ni iriter biyi, vayi ni vayi virwa ana lau ni ninina, alkawarin ba na. Barchi a you ta wa kison nikpa mbu na mir vayi ni son wu sesor.
16 For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?
Wu to kowuyi wah wu kpah lon me cuwo? wu lulon ko wume wukpah wah me cuwo?
17 Only, as the Lord has given to a man, and as is the purpose of God for him, so let him go on living. And these are my orders for all the churches.
Ahei naki Irji no konha kpe wa ani tei konha du zar ni kon wa Rji no duwa ki tei niwu wayi yi a ter mu wa me ter ni biwa ba wu ter mu.
18 If any man who is a Christian has had circumcision, let him keep so; and if any man who is a Christian has not had circumcision, let him make no change.
Bavonju nindi rhi wa kpayeme ni yoh Rji? Duna ya da ni kpayeme ni ter vonju ni wa wu kpe na. Wuna vonju rhi ni kpayeme ni bangkiya me? na du vonju me ba du kpe wu wurwa ni sor me na.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and its opposite is nothing, but only doing the orders of God is of value.
Ko wu vonju ko wuna vonju na ana kpe wu meme ma na. ikpe wa a bi wu teitei khili ni kpayeme ni irji ni ter magbagban.
20 Let every man keep the position in which he has been placed by God.
Ni wu indi wa wu kpayeme ni yoh Rji wu ka zre gyegyer ni kpaye me ni yoh me.
21 If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.
Wuna gra niwa Rji yoh? Naban tume no yiri sorkina, wu wuhei ni sor wu tei kpe wu bi ma wu katei.
22 For he who was a servant when he became a Christian is the Lord's free man; and he who was free when he became a Christian is the Lord's servant.
Indi wa iyoh ma ana yoh u Rji yoh wa wuyi ni son na vir Rji ba seser. Naki ni knoki indi wa na son na ver wa Rji yoh du kpayeme ni son na ver Rji.
23 It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men.
Ba leyi ni le wu barma, wanaki wu ka na son na wu gra ndi na
24 My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him.
Ni son bi mini vayi, ni kowane son bi ni yoh wa ba yoh yi, konha du son ni de Rji.
25 Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.
Niter wu son ndi wa ana to wah ni wa ana to lulon na, mena to dauka wa Rji ni Rji na. Wume me gniyi mer muye na Rji a hei ni vusor waki kpaye me niwu.
26 In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.
Wume meto naki me rhime iri meme kpe wa aniye ni koshishi, wa anibi wa indi du hei na ha
27 If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife.
Ba loh zi ni kpah wah me? Naka wah me cuwo na. Wuta son ba wah, na yoh suron me niter wah gana.
28 If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you.
Wuta hei ni gra wuna hei ni la tre na, u wa ana to lulon na waye gra ana hei ni later na. Wu biwa ba hei niyra kpa wu yo suronsor nomer wa son ba na zoba na, me son me du yina ba mer bi hei ni ko kina.
29 But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;
Naki mir vayi me nla yi wu, in ton ki fi me, ziza'a ni hi koshishi biwa ba hei ni mba ba son na hiwa bana hei ni gra na.
30 And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;
Biyi biwa biyi na du yi hi nwu ni shishi na u biwa ba si gri baka na tsro na ba si gir na u biwa bale nda hei niwu bakana tsor ndi ba hei ni kpe na.
31 And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.
Biyi bwa biya ni gbugbluyi a wubi bikaya binaya ni tziri ni wu di to tsirmawa wuna Nison gbugblu u ton yi a seye ni kle ma ziza'a.
32 But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:
Me noyi tre wa aniza yi ko nha duson da kakpale na son wu sisir na uwa a na hei nigra na imer ma a hei ni kpe s Rji ni nondi wani giri niwu.
33 But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.
U wa a hei ni gra mer ma a'her ni kpi wu gbugbulu wani son wah ma du son wu nda girni gbugbulu.
34 And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.
Aga kpama iwa anai hei ni gar na, ko wa ana to lulon na mer ma a hei ni kpi wa Rji bani no wa ani son ni mer da mla kpama ter ni de Ruhu. Wu woh wu gar isor ma ahei ni kpi bi gbugbulu wa anu lohma sisor megye.
35 Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.
Me oha wayi ni du soi bi du son bi da mla yi tei mena wa me matsa niyiwu na me lah kpe wa a hei naki wa kiwu Rji, ana wa soi mbu niga kankana.
36 But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married.
I wuri wu tato wuna tei kpa wubi ni kirwa wa son hema nito luloh na ni mla tei na wa zar ni sei wu gra wa naki yi, wa ka tei kpa ani son tei ana lha ter na u ba ka gra kpamba.
37 But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.
Ani ta hei toki wa vusor da kli gbagba wuba matsi wa niya da mla kpa ma tei da ba mer ni suron ma naki dazi tuma hama ni suron wu wamba wa ni tei kpe wu bima i wa a gra wa ana to luloh na a tei kpe wu bima
38 So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better.
Iwu wa wu batume de wuna gra na iwu me wu tei kpe wubima zan konha
39 It is right for a wife to be with her husband as long as he is living; but when her husband is dead, she is free to be married to another; but only to a Christian.
Iwah wu gra a hei ni son nide lohma du wa hei ni sisren. Ida gyu ba u iwah nita to ana iya da son hama ni gra na ani ni du gra ni kno wu hwu Rji.
40 But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.
Niya mu ani son si nda gri idan a son naki son nigar. me ya i meme me hei ni Ruhun Rji.
