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.
Okulubhana na magambo ganu nabhandikiye: Gulio omwanya guli gwa kisi omulume asige omama no mugasi wae.
2 But, because of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Nawe kulwokusakwa kwamfu kwo bhusiani jiile bhuli mulume abhe no mugasi wae, na bhuli mugasi abhe nomulume wae.
3 A husband should fulfill his obligation to his wife, and a wife should also act similarly toward her husband.
Omulume jimwiile okumuyana omugasi wae agobhutwasi, kutyo kutyo nomugasi ona amuyane omulume wae.
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.
Omugasi atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omulume. Na kutyo kutyo, omulume atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omugasi wae anabhwo.
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.
Mutajaga kwiima mukamama amwi, tali mwikilishanyishe kwo mwanya gwakisi. Mukole kutyo koleleki mubhone omwanya gwo kusabha. Mukamala omutula okusubhilana lindi amwi, Koleleki Shetani ataja kubhalegeja kwo kubhulwa indengo.
6 But I am saying this, neither as an indulgence, nor as a commandment.
Nawe anaika amagambo ganu bila kulazimisha na gatali chilagilo.
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.
Enisigombela bhuli umwi akabhee kama anye kutyo nili. Nawe bhuli munu ana echiyanwa chae okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Unu ana echiyanwa chinu, na uliya ana echiyanwa chiliya.
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.
Kubhanu bhatatwawe na bhatumba gasi enaikati, nijakisi kubhene ati bhakasigae bila kutwalwa, lwakutyo anye nili.
9 But if they cannot restrain themselves, they should marry. For it is better to marry, than to be burned.
Nawe labha bhatakutula kwiganya, jibheile bhatwalwe. Kulwokubha akili okutwalwa bhataja kuligilana.
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.
Woli kubhanu bhatwawe enibhayana echilagilo, atali anye tali ni Latabhugenyi. “Omugasi ataja kusigana no mulume wae.”
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.
Nawe labha akasoka kumulume wae, asigale kutyo ataja kutwalwa kala jili kutyo angwane no mulume wae. Na “Omulume atamuyana omugasi wae inyalubha yo kumulema
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.
Nawe kubhanu bhasigae, enaika anye ati, atali Latabhugenyi- ati labha alio omuili ali no mugasi atali mwikilisha na ekilisishe okwikala nage, jitamwiile kumusiga.
13 And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce her husband.
Labha omugasi ali no mulume unu atali mwikilisha, na labha ekilisishe okwikala nage, atamusiga.
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.
Kumulume unu atali mwikilisha kesibhwa okulubhana ne likilisha lyo mugasi wae. No mugasi unu atali mwikilisha kesibhwa kwa insonga yomulume wae omwikilisha. Kenda bhitali kutyo abhana bhemwe bhakabhee bhatali bhelu, nawe kuchimali bhesibhwe.
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.
Nawe atekilisishe akagenda nagende. Kulwejo, omulawasu no muyala wasu atakubhwohya ne bhilailo bhyebhwe. Nyamuanga achibhilikiye chikale kwo mulembe.
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?
Oumenya atiki labha omugasi, labha ulimuchungula omulume wao? Angu oumenya atiki labha omulume, alimukisha omugasi wae?
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.
Bhuli umwi ekale obhulame lwakutyo Latabhugenyi abhagabhiye, bhuli umwi lwakutyo Nyamuanga abhabhilikiye abhene. Bhunu nibhwo obhwisombolo bhwani ku makanisa gona.
18 Has any circumcised man been called? Let him not cover his circumcision. Has any uncircumcised man been called? Let him not be circumcised.
Alio unu aliga atendelwe anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha? Atalegeja okusoshao olunyamo lwo kutendwa kwae. Alio wona wona unu abhilikiwe mukwikilisha achali kutendwa? Jitamwiile kutendwa.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; there is only the observance of the commandments of God.
Kulinu abhe atendelwe nolo akabha atatendelwe chitalio chibhibhi. Chinu chili chibhibhi ni kulema okugwata ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga.
20 Let each and every one remain in the same calling to which he was called.
Bhuli umwi asigale mukubhilikilwa kwae kutyo aliga anu abhilikiwe na Nyamuanga okwikilisha.
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.
Aliga uli mugaya omwanya gunu Nyamuanga akubhilikiye? Siga okusaswa elyo. Nawe labha outula okwitanya, kola kutyo.
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.
Kuumwi unu abhilikiwe na Latabhugenyi kuti mugaya ni munu unu ketanya ku Latabhugenyi. Lwakutyo, oumwi unu ketanya anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha ni mugaya wa Kristo.
23 You have been bought with a price. Do not be willing to become the servants of men.
Mwamalile kugulwa kwo bhugusi bhunene, kulwejo mutaja kubha bhagaya bha bhanu.
24 Brothers, let each one, in whatever state he was called, remain in that state with God.
Bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, mubhulame bhwona bhwona bhuli umwi weswe kutyo chabhilikiwe okwikilisha, chisigale lwakutyo chili.
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.
Woli, bhanu bhona bhachali kutwala, ntana chilagilo okusoka ku Latabhugenyi. Nawe enibhayana obhwiganilisha bhwani kutyo bhuli. Kwe chigongo cha Latabhugenyi, jinu ejiikanyibhwa.
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.
Kulwejo, eniganilisha kutyo kwa insonga yo kunyansibhwa, nijakisi omulume asigale kutyo ali.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free of a wife? Do not seek a wife.
Ubhoelwe no mugasi kwe chilailo cho bhutwasi? Utaja kwenda kwitanya okusoka mwicho. Uli no kwitanya okusoka ku mugasi angu uchali kutwalwa? Utayenja mugasi.
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.
Nawe labha ukatwala, uchali kukola chibhibhi. Nalabha omugasi achali kutwalwa akatwalwa, achali kukola chibhibhi. Bado bhanu abhatwalana abhabhona jinyako jabhuli mbaga. Anye enenda nibhakishe nago.
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;
Nawe enaikati, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu omwanya ni mufuyi. Okusoka woli no kugendelela, bhanu bhali na bhagasi bhekale kuti bhatanabho.
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;
Bhona bhanu bhajubhile bhekole kuti bhaliga bhatajubhile, na bhona bhanu bhakondelewe kuti bhatakondelewe, na bhona bhanu abhagula echinu chona chona, kuti bhachaliga kubha na chinu chona chona.
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.
Nabhona bhanu abhafulubhenda nechalo, bhabhe kuti bhatakufulubhenda nacho. Kulwokubha ebhyainsi bhyajokinga kubhutelo bhwabhyo.
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.
Enenda mubhe no bhwiyaganyulo munyanko jona. Omulume atakutwala afulubhende ne bhinu bhinu bhimwiile Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omwene.
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.
Nawe omulume unu atwae kafulubhendela amagambo gechalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omugasi wae,
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.
aulene. Omugasi unu atatwawe amwi muyala juma unu kafulubhendela ingulu ye bhinu bhya Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kwiyaula kubhyomubhili no mwoyo. Nawe omugasi unu atwawe kafulubhenda ingulu ye bhinu bhya kuchalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omulume wae.
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.
Enaika kutya ingulu ya libhona lyemwe, na ntatulileo omutego kwimwe. Enaika kutya kwokubha ni chimali, koleleki omutula okwitula mukolelega Latabhugenyi mutabha na chikujulo chona chona.
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.
Nawe labha omunu keganilisha atakutula kumukolela kwa lisima omuyala juma wae, kwa insonga yo bwiganilisha bhae bhuna amanaga muno, siga atwalane nage kutyo kenda. Chitalio chibhibhi.
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.
Nawe labha akolele obhulamusi okulema okutwala, na chitalio chinu cha bhusibhusi, na labha katula okutangasha inamba yae, kakola jansonga labha akalema omutwala.
38 And so, he who joins with his virgin in matrimony does well, and he who does not join with her does better.
Kulwejo, unu kamutwala omuyala juma wae kakola jabhwana, na wona wona unu kasola okulema okutwala kakola jabhwana muno.
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.
Omugasi abhoelwe no mulume wae omwanya gunu achali kufwa. Nawe omulume akafwa, Ali no bhwiyaganyulo okutwalibhwa na wona wona unu kamwenda, nawe ni mu Latabhugenyi ela.
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.
Nchali mubhulamusi bhwani, kabha nalikondelewe enene muno akekala kutyo alila. Na eniganilisha ati anyona nino Mwoyo gwa Nyamuanga.
