1 Corinthians 7
1 But concerning the things of which ye have written [to me]: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman;
Mu diambu di mambu ma lusonika mu nkandꞌeno “didi diambu dimboti kuidi bakala mu bika simba nketo”.
2 but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each [woman] have her own husband.
Vayi mu diambu di tina kitsuza, bika kadika bakala kaba ayi nketo andi ayi kadika nketo kaba ayi bakala diandi.
3 Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband.
Bika bakala kavangila nketo andi mamo ma kafueti kumvangila ayi nketo mamvandi bobuawu kafueti vangila bakala diandi.
4 The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife.
Bila nitu yi nketo yisiedi yandi ko; yidi mu diambu di bakala diandi. Bobuawu nitu yi bakala yisiedi yandi ko; yidi mu diambu di nketo andi.
5 Defraud not one another, unless, it may be, by consent for a time, that ye may devote yourselves to prayer, and again be together, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.
Lubika tinasananga; botula kaka bu luwizani mu kambu bundana mu thangu yi khufi mu diambu di kukiyekula mu lusambulu, bosi luvutuka buela bundana muingi satana kabika kuluvukumuna mu diambu di kambu kueno ku kukiyala.
6 But this I say, as consenting [to], not as commanding [it].
Luzaba ti thubidi bobo banga minsua vayi luisi lutumunu ko.
7 Now I wish all men to be even as myself: but every one has his own gift of God: one man thus, and another thus.
Thidi batu boso baba banga minu, vayi kadika mutu wutambula diandi dikaba di nlemvo kuidi Nzambi: kuidi wunkaka dikaba diadi, kuidi wunkaka dikaba dina.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I.
Kuidi batu bakambu kuela ayi mafuola bulutidi mboti baba banga minu.
9 But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
Vayi enati balendi nunga ko mu kukiyala, buna mboti bakuela bila bulutidi mboti mu kuela ayi mu banga kadika thangu ku tsi zinzinunu.
10 But to the married I enjoin, not I, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband;
Kuidi bakuela ndimvana lutumunu lualu: bika sia ti minu vayi niandi veka Pfumu veni luawu: nketo dikuela kalendi vambana ayi bakala diandi ko.
11 (but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; ) and let not husband leave wife.
Vayi enati nketo dikuela beni vambini ayi bakala diandi, buna, nketo wowo kabika buela kuela voti kavutuka wizana ayi bakala diandi. Bobuawu bakala kalendi botula nketo andi ko.
12 But as to the rest, I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.
Kuidi bankaka, minu thubidi bika sia ti Pfumu: enati khomba yi bakala widi ayi nketo wukambu wilukila ayi enati nketo beni tidi kuandi zinga yandi buna kabika vambana ayi nketo beni.
13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave [her] husband.
Bobuawu diaka, enati nketo widi ayi bakala dikambu wilukila ayi enati bakala beni tidi kuandi zinga yandi buna kabika vambana ayi bakala diandi.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since [otherwise] indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
Bila bakala dikambu wilukila wukitulu wunlongo mu diambu di nketo andi; ayi nketo wukambu wilukila wukitulu wunlongo mu diambu di bakaladiandi. Bila enati buawu ko buna bana beno bela tangulu bana basumuka. Vayi buabu badi banlongo.
15 But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such [cases], but God has called us in peace.
Enati mutu wowo wukambu wilukila, tidi vambana buna wulenda kuandi vambana. Mu nzila yoyo khomba yi bakala voti khomba yi nketo wowo basiedibakangama ko bila Nzambi wututela mu zingilanga mu ndembama.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, if thou shalt save thy husband? or what knowest thou, O husband, if thou shalt save thy wife?
Bila, mbi zebi ngeyo nketo e? Mananga ngeyo wela vukisa bakala diaku? Voti mbi zebi ngeyo bakala? Mananga ngeyo wela vukisa nketo aku?
17 However, as the Lord has divided to each, as God has called each, so let him walk; and thus I ordain in all the assemblies.
Muaki bulutidi mboti kadika mutu kadiatila boso Pfumu kamvanina ayi boso Nzambi kantedila. Bobo buididi lutumunu lu ndieti vana muidi mabundu moso.
18 Has any one been called circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
Mutu sumbu katelo, wuba wuzengo e? Kabika tomba vutuka mu ba wukambu zengo. Mutu sumbu katelo buna widi wukambu zengo e? Kabika zengoso.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but keeping God's commandments.
Wuba wuzengo voti wukambu wuzengo disi diambu di mfunu ko. Vayi diambu di lutidi mfunu diawu diadi: kinzika zithumunu zi Nzambi.
20 Let each abide in that calling in which he has been called.
Bika kadika mutu katatamana ba banga bu katuama bela mu thangu katelo.
21 Hast thou been called [being] a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.
Wuba mvika bu wutelo e? Kadi kudibela mayindu. Vayi enati wulenda kuluka mu buvika beni, buna sadila buawu.
22 For the bondman that is called in [the] Lord is the Lord's freedman; in like manner [also] the freeman being called is Christ's bondman.
Bila mvika wowo wutelo mu Pfumu widi mutu wu kiphuanza mu Pfumu. Bobuawu mutu wu kiphuanza wowo wutelo widi mvika wu Klisto.
23 Ye have been bought with a price; do not be the bondmen of men.
Beno lusumbu mu thalu yinneni. Diawu lubika buela kituka bavika ba batu.
24 Let each, wherein he is called, brethren, therein abide with God.
Bakhomba baama, bika kadika mutu katatamana ba va ntuala Nzambibanga bu katuama bela mu thangu katelo.
25 But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of [the] Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of [the] Lord to be faithful.
Mu diambu di bobo bakambu kuela, ndisi ko kadi thumunu yi Pfumuvayi ndieka kuba kamba diyindu diama banga mutu wumosi wumonono kiadi kuidi Nzambi mu ba wukuikama.
26 I think then that this is good, on account of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man to remain so as he is.
Mu diambu di ziphasi zi thangu yayi, ndimmona ti bulutidi fuana kuidi kadika mutu mu ba boso bu kadidi.
27 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; art thou free from a wife? do not seek a wife.
Nketo widi yaku? Kadi tomba vambana. Enati wisiko nketo bunakadi tomba nketo.
28 But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.
Muaki enati kuedidi buna wusi vola masumu ko. Enati nketo wukambu kuela kuedidi, buna kasi vola masumu ko. Vayi bobo bamvanga bobo bela mona ziphasi mu nsuni vayi thidi lubika mona ziawu.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having [any]:
Tala diambu ndituba: bakhomba, luzaba ti thangu yeka yikhufi. Diawu bobo badi ayi baketo bika baba banga basi ayi baketo ko.
30 and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;
Batu bobo bandila, baba banga basi ndila ko, bobo balembo moni khini, banga ti basi mona khini ko ayi bobo balembo sumbi baba, banga ti basi kadi kima ko.
31 and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.
Kuidi bawu bansadilanga ntoto wawu, bika baba banga ti basadilanga wawu ko. Bila ntoto wawu vioka wumvioka.
32 But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
Thidi ti lubika ba mayindu. Bila mayindu ma mutu wukambu kuela madi mu diambu di Pfumu ayi mayindu mandi moso madi mu zaba buevi kafueti yangidikila Pfumu.
33 but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.
Vayi mayindu ma mutu wukuela madi mu diambu ntoto wawu madi muzaba; buevi kafueti yangidikila nketo andi.
34 There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.
Niandi widi wuvasuka. Mayindu ma nketo wukambu kuela voti mayinduma muana ndumba madi mu diambu di Pfumu muingi baba wunlongo mu nitu ayi mu Pheve. Vayi mayindu ma nketo wukuela madi mu mambu ma ntotowawu madi mu zaba; buevi kafueti yangidikila bakala diandi.
35 But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what [is] seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction.
Thubidi bobo mu diambu di kulusadisa, bika sia ti mu diambu di ku lutambila ntambu vayi mu diambu luba ayi khadulu yisonga ayi luba bakangama mu sadila Pfumu.
36 But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.
Enati bakala yindudi ti weti vangila muanꞌandi wu ndumba mambu makambulu fuana, enati weti diatusu kuidi zinzinunu ayi enati weti banzila ti bakuelana kaka buna dimboti kuandi; kasi vola masumu ko; bika bakuelana.
37 But he who stands firm in his heart, having no need, but has authority over his own will, and has judged this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he does well.
Vayi enati bakala, zebi kanga ntima ayi vasiko mutu wukunkuika vayiniandi veka beki lukanu mu kambu buela kuela ndumba beni; buna niandi vengi bufuana, kabika kuela.
38 So that he that marries himself does well; and he that does not marry does better.
Diawu woso mutu kuedidi vengi diambu dimboti ayi woso mengi kuandi kuela, vengi diambu dilutidi mboti.
39 A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in [the] Lord.
Nketo wukuela widi wukangama kuidi bakala diandi mu thangu bakaladiandi kakidi zingi. Vayi enati bakala diandi difuidi, nketo wowo wulenda kuandi buela kuela dioso bakala di katidi, vayi kafueti kuedila mu Pfumu kaka.
40 But she is happier if she so remain, according to my judgment; but I think that I also have God's Spirit.
Vayi kuidi minu mbueni ti nketo wowo wufuilu bakala, wela luta mona khini ti kakadi buela kuela. Ayi tsidi diana ti minu mamvama Pheve yi Nzambi yidi yama.
