1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Ni tu tre wa bi nha din. “Abi ndi du ndi duna hei ni wah na”.
2 But, because of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own 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 A husband should fulfill his obligation to his wife, and a wife should also act similarly toward her 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 It is not the wife, but the husband, who has power over her body. But, similarly also, it is not the husband, but the wife, who has power over his body.
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 So, do not fail in your obligations to one another, except perhaps by consent, for a limited time, so that you may empty yourselves for prayer. And then, return together again, lest Satan tempt you by means of your abstinence.
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 I am saying this, neither as an indulgence, nor as a commandment.
Me bla ter bayi ni yiwu ba don me no yi doka ko me ka gbi yi suron ba.
7 For I would prefer it if you were all like myself. But each person has his proper gift from God: one in this way, yet another in that way.
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 widows: It is good for them, if they would remain as they are, just as I also 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 cannot restrain themselves, they should marry. For it is better to marry, than to be burned.
Ama idan ba na iya vu tumba na ba ka gra. A fi duba gra ni du ba ri lu.
10 But to those who have been joined in matrimony, it is not I who commands you, but the Lord: a wife is not to separate 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 But if she has separated from him, she must remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband should not divorce 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 Concerning the rest, I am speaking, not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce 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 any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce 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 unbelieving husband has been sanctified through the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through the believing husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, whereas instead they are 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 unbeliever departs, let him depart. For a brother or sister cannot be made subject to servitude in this way. For God has called us to peace.
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 And how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Wu to kowuyi wah wu kpah lon me cuwo? wu lulon ko wume wukpah wah me cuwo?
17 However, let each one walk just as the Lord has distributed to him, each one just as God has called him. And thus do I teach in 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 Has any circumcised man been called? Let him not cover his circumcision. Has any uncircumcised man been called? Let him not be circumcised.
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 uncircumcision is nothing; there is only the observance of the commandments of God.
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 each and every one remain in the same calling to which he was called.
Ni wu indi wa wu kpayeme ni yoh Rji wu ka zre gyegyer ni kpaye me ni yoh me.
21 Are you a servant who has been called? Do not be concerned about it. But if you ever have the ability to be 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 any servant who has been called in the Lord is free in the Lord. Similarly, any free person who has been called is a servant in Christ.
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 You have been bought with a price. Do not be willing to become the servants of men.
Ba leyi ni le wu barma, wanaki wu ka na son na wu gra ndi na
24 Brothers, let each one, in whatever state he was called, remain in that state with God.
Ni son bi mini vayi, ni kowane son bi ni yoh wa ba yoh yi, konha du son ni de Rji.
25 Now, concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord. But I give counsel, as one who has obtained the mercy of the Lord, so as to be faithful.
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 Therefore, I consider this to be good, because of the present necessity: that it is good for a man to be such as I am.
Wume meto naki me rhime iri meme kpe wa aniye ni koshishi, wa anibi wa indi du hei na ha
27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free of a wife? Do not seek 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 But if you take a wife, you have not sinned. And if a virgin has married, she has not sinned. Even so, such as these will have the tribulation of the flesh. But I would spare you from this.
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 And so, this is what I say, brothers: The time is short. What remains of it is such that: those who have wives should be as if they had none;
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 those who weep, as though they were not weeping; and those who rejoice, as if they were not rejoicing; and those who buy, as if they possessed 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 those who use the things of this world, as if they were not using them. For the figure of this world is passing away.
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 I would prefer you to be without worry. Whoever is without a wife is worried about the things of the Lord, as to how he may please God.
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 whoever is with a wife is worried about the things of the world, as to how he may please his wife. And so, he is divided.
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 unmarried woman and the virgin think about the things that are of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit. But she who is married thinks about the things that are of the world, as to how she may please 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 Furthermore, I am saying this for your own benefit, not in order to cast a snare over you, but toward whatever is honest and whatever may provide you with the ability to be without hindrance, so as to worship 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 any man considers himself to seem dishonorable, concerning a virgin who is of adult age, and so it ought to be, he may do as he wills. If he marries her, he does not sin.
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 if he has decided firmly in his heart, and he does not have any obligation, but only the power of his free will, and if he has judged this in his heart, to let her remain a virgin, he does well.
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 And so, he who joins with his virgin in matrimony does well, and he who does not join with her does better.
Iwu wa wu batume de wuna gra na iwu me wu tei kpe wubima zan konha
39 A woman is bound under the law for as long as her husband lives. But if her husband has died, she is free. She may marry whomever she wishes, but only in the Lord.
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 she will be more blessed, if she remains in this state, in accord with my counsel. And I think that I, too, 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.
