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.
Torej glede stvari, o katerih ste mi pisali: ›Dobro je za moškega ne dotikati se ženske.‹
2 But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband.
Kljub temu naj ima, v izogib prešuštvovanju, vsak mož svojo lastno ženo in vsaka ženska naj ima svojega lastnega soproga.
3 Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband.
Naj soprog ženi vrača dolžno dobrohotnost in prav tako žena soprogu.
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.
Žena nima oblasti nad svojim lastnim telesom, temveč soprog. In prav tako tudi soprog nima oblasti nad svojim lastnim telesom, temveč žena.
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.
Ne prikrajšujta se drug drugemu, razen če je to s soglasjem za nekaj časa, da se lahko predata postu in molitvi; in ponovno pridita skupaj, da vaju zaradi vajinega pomanjkanja samoobvladovanja ne skuša Satan.
6 But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord.
Toda to govorim z dovoljenjem in ne po zapovedi.
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.
Kajti želim, da bi bili vsi ljudje kakor jaz. Toda vsak človek ima svoj primeren dar od Boga, eden na ta način, drugi pa na drug.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them to be even as I am.
Torej neporočenim in vdovam pravim: »Zanje je dobro, če ostanejo kakor jaz.«
9 But if they have not self-control let them get married; for married life is better than the burning of desire.
Toda če se ne morejo brzdati, naj se poročé; kajti bolje se je poročiti kakor plameneti.
10 But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband
Poročenim pa naročam, čeprav ne jaz, temveč Gospod: »Naj žena ne odide od svojega soproga.
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.
Toda če odide, naj ostane neomožena ali naj se pobota k svojemu soprogu, in soprog naj svoje žene ne odslovi.«
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.
Toda drugim govorim jaz, ne Gospod: »Če ima katerikoli brat ženo, ki ne veruje in je zadovoljna, da prebiva z njim, naj je ne odslovi.
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.
In ženska, ki ima soproga, ki ne veruje in če je zadovoljen, da prebiva z njo, naj ga ona ne zapusti.
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.
Kajti neverni soprog je posvečen po ženi in neverna žena je posvečena po soprogu; sicer bi bili vaši otroci nečisti, toda sedaj so sveti.
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.
Toda če neverni odide, naj odide. Brat ali sestra v teh primerih nista pod suženjstvom; toda Bog nas je poklical k miru.
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?
Kajti kaj veš ti, oh žena, če boš rešila svojega soproga? Ali kako veš ti, oh mož, če boš rešil svojo ženo?«
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.
Toda kakor je Bog vsakemu človeku razdelil, kakor je Gospod vsakogar poklical, tako naj hodi. In tako določam v vseh cerkvah.
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.
Ali je poklican katerikoli mož, ki je obrezan? Naj ne postane neobrezan. Ali je kateri poklican neobrezan? Naj ne bo obrezan.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and its opposite is nothing, but only doing the orders of God is of value.
Obreza ni nič in neobreza ni nič, temveč izpolnjevanje Božjih zapovedi.
20 Let every man keep the position in which he has been placed by God.
Naj vsak ostane v isti poklicanosti, v katero je bil poklican.
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.
Ali si bil poklican kot služabnik? Ne skrbi za to. Toda če lahko postaneš svoboden, to vsekakor izkoristi.
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.
Kajti kdor je poklican v Gospodu kot služabnik, je Gospodov osvobojenec; prav tako tudi kdor je poklican kot svoboden, je Kristusov služabnik.
23 It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men.
Odkupljeni ste za ceno; ne bodite služabniki ljudem.
24 My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him.
Bratje, naj vsak ostane z Bogom v tem, v čemer je bil poklican.
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.
Torej glede devic nimam zapovedi od Gospoda; čeprav dam svoje mnenje kakor nekdo, ki je dosegel usmiljenje od Gospoda, da je zvest.
26 In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.
Domnevam torej, da je to dobro zaradi sedanje stiske; pravim, da je to dobro za človeka, da je tako.
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.
Ali si vezan k ženi? Ne skušaj biti razvezan. Ali si razvezan od žene? Ne išči žene.
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.
Toda če pa se poročiš, nisi grešil; in če se devica poroči, ni grešila. Vendar bodo taki imeli stisko v mesu; toda prizanašam vam.
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;
Toda pravim to, bratje, čas je kratek. Preostaja to, da so tisti, ki imajo žene, kakor da jih ne bi imeli;
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;
in tisti, ki jokajo, kakor ne bi jokali; in tisti, ki se veselijo, kakor da se ne bi veselili; in tisti, ki kupujejo, kakor ne bi imeli v lasti;
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.
in tisti, ki uporabljajo ta svet, kakor ga ne bi zlorabljali; kajti videz tega sveta mineva.
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:
Toda hočem, da ste brez skrbi. Kdor je neporočen, skrbi za stvari, ki pripadajo Gospodu, kako bi lahko ugajal Gospodu;
33 But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.
toda kdor je poročen, skrbi za stvari, ki so od sveta, kako bi lahko ugajal svoji ženi.
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.
Razlika je tudi med ženo in devico. Neporočena ženska skrbi za Gospodove stvari, da bi bila lahko sveta, tako v telesu kakor v duhu; toda tista, ki je poročena, skrbi za svetne stvari, kako bi lahko ugodila svojemu soprogu.
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.
In to govorim v vašo lastno korist; ne da bi na vas lahko vrgel zanko, temveč k temu kar je ljubko in da bi lahko nemoteno služili Gospodu.
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.
Toda če kateri človek misli, da se do svoje device vede nespodobno, če je minil cvet njenih let in potreba tako zahteva, naj stôri, kar hoče, ne greši; naj se poročita.
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.
Vendar kdor v svojem srcu neomajno stoji in nima nujne potrebe, temveč ima oblast nad svojo lastno voljo in je v svojem srcu tako določil, da bo ohranil svojo devico, stori pravilno.
38 So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better.
Tako torej kdor jo daje v zakon, stori pravilno; toda kdor je ne daje v zakon, stori bolje.
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.
Žena je vezana s postavo, dokler njen soprog živi; toda če njen soprog umre, je prosta, da se poroči s komer hoče; le v Gospodu.
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.
Toda po moji sodbi je srečnejša, če ostane tako; in mislim, da imam tudi jaz Božjega Duha.
