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;
Ní báyìí, nítorí àwọn ohun tí ẹ ṣe kọ̀wé: Ó dára fún ọkùnrin kí ó máa ṣe ni ìdàpọ̀ pẹ̀lú obìnrin.
2 but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each [woman] have her own husband.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí àgbèrè pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́ẹ́ kí ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan gbéyàwó tirẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí obìnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan ní ọkọ tirẹ̀.
3 Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband.
Kí ọkùnrin kí ó fi gbogbo ẹ̀tọ́ ìyàwó rẹ̀ fún ún, kí ìyàwó fi gbogbo ẹ̀tọ́ ọkọ fún ọkọ rẹ̀.
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.
Aya kò láṣẹ lórí ara rẹ̀ mọ́, ara rẹ̀ ti di ti ọkọ rẹ̀. Bákan náà ni ọkùnrin tí ó gbéyàwó kò ní àṣẹ lórí ara rẹ̀ mọ́, ara rẹ̀ ti di ti ìyàwó rẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe fi àwọn ẹ̀tọ́ tọkọtaya wọ̀nyí dun ara yín, bí kò ṣe nípa ìfìmọ̀ṣọ̀kan, kí ẹ̀yin lè fi ara yín fún àwẹ̀ àti àdúrà, kí ẹ̀yin sì tún jùmọ̀ pàdé, lẹ́yìn ìgbà náà, wọ́n gbọdọ̀ padà sọ́dọ̀ ara wọn kí Satani má ba à dán wọn wò nítorí àìlèmáradúró wọn.
6 But this I say, as consenting [to], not as commanding [it].
Mo sọ èyí fún un yín bí ìmọ̀ràn ní kì í ṣe bí àṣẹ.
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.
Ó wù mí kí olúkúlùkù dàbí èmi, ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo ènìyàn kò le jẹ́ bákan náà, Ọlọ́run fún olúkúlùkù ènìyàn ní ẹ̀bùn tirẹ̀, ọ̀kan bí irú èyí àti èkejì bí irú òmíràn.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I.
Nítorí náà, mo wí fún àwọn àpọ́n àti opó pé, ó sàn kí wọ́n kúkú wà gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi tí wà.
9 But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí wọ́n kò bá lè mú ara dúró, kí wọ́n gbéyàwó tàbí kí wọ́n fẹ́ ọkọ, nítorí pé ó sàn láti gbéyàwó jù láti ṣe ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ lọ.
10 But to the married I enjoin, not I, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband;
Àwọn ti ó ti gbéyàwó àti àwọn tí ó lọ́kọ, ni mo fẹ́ pa á láṣẹ fún kì í ṣe láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi ṣùgbọ́n láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa: “Obìnrin kò gbọdọ̀ kọ́ fi ọkọ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá fi ọkọ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀; jẹ́ kí ó wà láìní ọkọ mọ́, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, kí ó bá ọkọ rẹ̀ làjà, kí ọkọ kí ó má ṣe aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
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.
Mo fẹ́ fi àwọn ìmọ̀ràn kan kún ún fún un yín, kì í ṣe àṣẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa. Bí arákùnrin bá fẹ́ aya tí kò gbàgbọ́, tí aya náà sá á fẹ́ dúró tí ọkọ náà, ọkọ náà tí í ṣe onígbàgbọ́ kò gbọdọ̀ kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀.
13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave [her] husband.
Tí ó bá sì jẹ́ obìnrin ló fẹ́ ọkọ tí kò gbàgbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n tí ọkọ náà ń fẹ́ kí obìnrin yìí dúró tí òun, aya náà kò gbọdọ̀ kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí pé ó ṣe é ṣe kí a lè mú ọkọ tí kò gba Kristi gbọ́ súnmọ́ Ọlọ́run nípa aya tí í ṣe onígbàgbọ́, a sì le mú ìyàwó tí kò gba Kristi gbọ́ súnmọ́ Ọlọ́run nípa ọkọ tí í ṣe onígbàgbọ́. Bí kò bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ wọn yóò jẹ́ aláìmọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n bí wọn kò bá kọ ara wọn sílẹ̀, ó ṣe é ṣe kí àwọn ọmọ wọn di mímọ́.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin tí i ṣe aláìgbàgbọ́ náà bá fẹ́ láti lọ, jẹ́ kí ó máa lọ. Arákùnrin tàbí arábìnrin náà kò sí lábẹ́ ìdè mọ́; Ọlọ́run ti pè wá láti gbé ní àlàáfíà.
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?
Báwo ni ẹ̀yin aya ṣe le mọ̀ pé bóyá ẹ̀yin ni yóò gba ọkọ yín là? Bákan náà ni a lè wí nípa ọkọ tí í ṣe onígbàgbọ́ pé, kò sí ìdánilójú pé aya aláìgbàgbọ́ le yípadà láti di onígbàgbọ́ nípa dídúró ti ọkọ.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ jẹ́ kí olúkúlùkù máa gbé ìgbé ayé tí Ọlọ́run ń fẹ́ yín fún, àti nínú èyí tí Olúwa pè é sí. Ìlànà àti òfin mi fún gbogbo ìjọ ni èyí.
18 Has any one been called circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin kan ha ti kọlà nígbà tí a pè é? Kí ó má sì ṣe di aláìkọlà. Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin kan ha ti kọlà nígbà tí a pè é? Kí ó ma ṣe kọlà.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but keeping God's commandments.
Ìkọlà kò jẹ́ nǹkan àti àìkọlà kò jẹ́ nǹkan, bí kò ṣe pípa òfin Ọlọ́run mọ́.
20 Let each abide in that calling in which he has been called.
Ó yẹ kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan máa ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó ń ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀, kí Ọlọ́run tó pé é sínú ìgbàgbọ́ nínú Kristi.
21 Hast thou been called [being] a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.
Ǹjẹ́ ẹrú ni ọ́ bí nígbà ti a pè ọ́? Má ṣe kà á sí. Ṣùgbọ́n tí ìwọ bá le di òmìnira, kúkú ṣe èyí nì.
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.
Tí ó bá jẹ́ ẹrú, ti Olúwa sì pé ọ, rántí pé Kristi ti sọ ọ́ di òmìnira kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára búburú ti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀. Tí ó bá sì ti pé ọ̀ nítòótọ́ tí ó sì ti di òmìnira, ó ti di ẹrú Kristi.
23 Ye have been bought with a price; do not be the bondmen of men.
A sì ti rà yín ní iye kan, nítorí náà ẹ má ṣe di ẹrú ènìyàn.
24 Let each, wherein he is called, brethren, therein abide with God.
Ará, jẹ́ kí olúkúlùkù ènìyàn, nínú èyí tí a pè é, kí ó dúró nínú ọ̀kan náà pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nípa ti àwọn wúńdíá, èmi kò ní àṣẹ kankan láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n mo wí fún yín ní ìdájọ́ bí ẹni tí ó rí àánú Olúwa gbà láti jẹ́ olódodo.
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.
Nítorí náà mo rò pé èyí dára nítorí wàhálà ìsinsin yìí, èyí nì ni pé o dára fún ènìyàn kí ó wà bí o ṣe wà.
27 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; art thou free from a wife? do not seek a wife.
Ǹjẹ́ ó ti ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí láti fẹ́ ìyàwó. Ẹ má ṣe kọ ara yín sílẹ̀, nítorí èyí tí mo wí yìí. Ṣùgbọ́n tí o kò bá sì tí ìgbéyàwó, tàbí fẹ́ ọkọ, má ṣe sáré láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ lákokò yìí.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá gbé ìyàwó ìwọ kò dẹ́ṣẹ̀, bí a bá gbé wúńdíá ní ìyàwó òun kò dẹ́ṣẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n irú àwọn tí ó bá gbé ìyàwó yóò dojúkọ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wàhálà nípa ti ara, ṣùgbọ́n èmi fẹ́ dá a yín sí.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having [any]:
Òun ti mo ń wí ará, ni pé kúkúrú ni àkókò, láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, ẹni tí ó ni aya kí ó dàbí ẹni tí kò ní rí;
30 and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;
àwọn tí ń sọkún, bí ẹni pé wọn kò sọkún rí, àti àwọn tí ń yọ̀ bí ẹni pé wọn kò yọ̀ rí, àti àwọn tí ń rà bí ẹni pé wọn kò ní rí,
31 and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.
àti àwọn tó ń lo ohun ayé yìí, bí ẹni tí kò ṣe àṣejù nínú wọn: nítorí ìgbà ayé yìí ń kọjá lọ.
32 But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
Nínú gbogbo nǹkan tí ẹ bá ń ṣe ni mo tí fẹ́ kí ẹ sọ ara yín di òmìnira lọ́wọ́ àníyàn. Ọkùnrin tí kò ní ìyàwó le lo àkókò rẹ̀ láti fi ṣiṣẹ́ fún Olúwa, yóò sì má ronú bí ó ti ṣe le tẹ́ Olúwa lọ́rùn.
33 but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tí ó bá tí ṣe ìgbéyàwó kò le ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, nítorí ó ní láti ronú àwọn nǹkan rẹ̀ nínú ayé yìí àti bí ó ti ṣe le tẹ́ aya rẹ̀ lọ́rùn,
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.
dájúdájú, ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ pín sí ọ̀nà méjì. Bákan náà ló rí fún obìnrin tí a gbé ní ìyàwó àti wúńdíá. Obìnrin tí kò bá tí ì délé ọkọ a máa tọ́jú ohun tí ṣe ti Olúwa, kí òun lè jẹ́ mímọ́ ní ara àti ní ẹ̀mí. Ṣùgbọ́n ọmọbìnrin tí a bá ti gbé níyàwó, a máa ṣe ìtọ́jú ohun tí ṣe ti ayé, bí yóò ti ṣe le tẹ́ ọkọ rẹ̀ lọ́rùn.
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.
Mo ń sọ èyí fún àǹfààní ara yín kì í ṣe láti dá yín lẹ́kun ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ̀yin lè gbé ní ọ̀nà tí ó tọ́ kí ẹ sì lè máa sin Olúwa láìsí ìyapa ọkàn.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá rò pé òun kò ṣe ohun tí ó yẹ sí wúńdíá rẹ̀ ti ìpòùngbẹ rẹ si pọ si, bí ó bá sí tọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ó ṣe bí ó tí fẹ́, òun kò dẹ́ṣẹ̀, jẹ́ kí wọn gbé ìyàwó.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó dúró ṣinṣin ni ọkàn rẹ̀, tí kò ní àìgbọdọ̀ má ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n tí ó ní agbára lórí ìfẹ́ ara rẹ̀, tí ó sì ti pinnu ní ọkàn rẹ̀ pé, òun ó pa wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin òun mọ́, yóò ṣe rere.
38 So that he that marries himself does well; and he that does not marry does better.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ní ẹni tí ó fi wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin fún ni ní ìgbéyàwó, ó ṣe rere; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí kò fi fún ni ní ìgbéyàwó ṣe rere jùlọ.
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.
A fi òfin dé obìnrin níwọ̀n ìgbà tí òun pẹ̀lú ọkọ rẹ̀ wà láààyè, bí ọkọ rẹ̀ bá kú, ó ní òmìnira láti ṣe ìgbéyàwó pẹ̀lú ọkùnrin mìíràn, tí ó bá wù ú ó sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ ti Olúwa.
40 But she is happier if she so remain, according to my judgment; but I think that I also have God's Spirit.
Ṣùgbọ́n nínú èrò tèmi obìnrin náà yóò ní ayọ̀ púpọ̀, tí kò bá ṣe ìgbéyàwó mìíràn mọ́. Mo sì rò pé mo ń fún un yín ní ìmọ̀ràn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run nígbà tí mo ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
