1 Corinthians 6
1 How dare any of you file a lawsuit before pagan judges if you have a dispute with your neighbor! Instead you should bring this before other believers.
Kũngĩkorwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe wanyu ũhĩtĩirie ũrĩa ũngĩ-rĩ, no akĩgerie gũthiĩ kũrĩ andũ arĩa matetigĩrĩte Ngai nĩguo mamatuithanie ciira, handũ ha gũthiĩ mbere ya andũ arĩa aamũre?
2 Don't you know that Christian believers will judge the world? If you're going to judge the world, are you not fit to judge in the most minor cases?
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ andũ arĩa aamũre nĩo magaatuĩra andũ a gũkũ thĩ ciira? Na angĩkorwo nĩ inyuĩ mũgaaciirithia andũ a gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, githĩ mũtikĩrĩ na ũhoti wa gũtua maciira marĩa manini?
3 Don't you know we are going to judge angels? How much more those things that relate to this life!
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ nĩ ithuĩ tũgaatuĩra araika ciira? Ĩ maũndũ ma mũtũũrĩre ũyũ-rĩ, githĩ tũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmaciira makĩria!
4 So if you have to judge things that relate to this life, how can you go to judges that are not respected by the church?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kũngĩkorwo na mũndũ wanyu ũhĩtĩirio maũndũ-inĩ ta macio-rĩ, no mũthuure o na andũ matangĩtĩĩka kanitha-inĩ matuĩke a kũmũciirithia!
5 I'm trying to shame you by saying this. What? You can't find one wise person among you who can settle a dispute that you have?
Ndoiga ũguo nĩguo ndĩmũconore. Kwahoteka atĩa atĩ thĩinĩ wanyu gũtirĩ mũndũ mũũgĩ ũngĩhota gũtuithania etĩkia eerĩ ciira mangĩhĩtania?
6 Instead one believer takes another believer to court, and places the issue before unbelievers!
No handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe witũ atwaraga ũrĩa ũngĩ igooti-inĩ, na nĩ igooti-inĩ rĩa arĩa matetĩkĩtie!
7 The very fact you have lawsuits against each other already is a complete disaster. Wouldn't it be better to accept the injustice? Why not let yourselves be defrauded?
Gũkorwo mũrĩ na maciira gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu nĩkuonania atĩ nĩmũhootetwo biũ. Githĩ ti kaba mwĩtĩkagĩre gwĩkwo ũũru? Githĩ ti kaba mwĩtĩkagĩre kũheenio?
8 But you would rather cause injustice and defraud even your fellow-believers in church.
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, nĩmũheenanagia na mũgekana ũũru, na acio mwĩkaga ũguo-rĩ, nĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe wanyu.
9 Don't you know those who are unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don't be fooled! People who are immoral, worship idols, commit adultery, sexual perverts, homosexuals,
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu matikagaya ũthamaki wa Ngai? Mũtikanaheeneke: Gũtirĩ ahũũri maraya, kana ahooi mĩhianano, kana itharia, kana arũme arĩa metuaga ta aka, kana arũme arĩa makomaga na arũme arĩa angĩ,
10 thieves, greedy, drunkards, abusers, or cheats, will not inherit the kingdom of God.
kana aici, kana andũ arĩa akoroku, kana arĩĩu, kana acambania, o na kana atunyani makaagaya ũthamaki wa Ngai.
11 Some of you were once like that, but you have been made clean and holy. You have been made right in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.
Na ũguo nĩguo amwe anyu mwatariĩ. No nĩmwathambirio, na mũgĩtherio, na mũgĩtuuo athingu thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ o na nĩ ũndũ wa Roho wa Ngai witũ.
12 People say, “I'm free to do anything”—but not everything is appropriate! “I'm free to do anything”—but I will not let anything control me! People say,
“Niĩ ndirigĩrĩirio gwĩka ũndũ o wothe,” no ti ũndũ o wothe ũrĩ kĩguni. “Niĩ ndirigĩrĩirio gwĩka ũndũ o wothe,” no ndingĩathwo nĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
13 “Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food”—but God will destroy both of them. Also, the body is not meant to be used for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
“Irio nĩ cia nda na nda nĩ ya irio,” no Ngai nĩagaciniina cierĩ. Mwĩrĩ ti wa kũhũthĩrwo na ũmaraya, no nĩ wa gũtungata Mwathani, nake Mwathani aathage mwĩrĩ ũcio.
14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us up the same way.
Ngai nĩariũkirie Mwathani kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wake, na o na ithuĩ nĩagatũriũkia na hinya o ro ũcio.
15 Don't you know your bodies are parts of Christ's body? Should I take the parts of Christ's body and join them to a prostitute? Absolutely not!
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ mĩĩrĩ yanyu nĩ ciĩga cia Kristũ we mwene? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, no ngĩoye ciĩga icio cia Kristũ nĩguo ndĩcinyiitithanie na mũmaraya? Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!
16 Don't you realize that anyone who has sex with a prostitute becomes “one body” with her? Remember that Scripture says, “The two will become one body.”
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩnyiitithanagia na mũmaraya, matuĩkaga mwĩrĩ ũmwe nake? Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwĩrĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Acio eerĩ magaatuĩka mwĩrĩ ũmwe.”
17 But whoever is joined to the Lord is one with him in spirit!
No mũndũ ũrĩa wĩnyiitithanagia na Mwathani atuĩkaga ũmwe nake thĩinĩ wa roho.
18 Stay away from sexual immorality! All other sins that people commit are outside of the body, but sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.
Ũragĩrai mehia ma ũmaraya. Mehia marĩa mangĩ mothe mekagwo nĩ mũndũ marĩ nja ya mwĩrĩ wake, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũhũũraga ũmaraya-rĩ, nĩ mwĩrĩ wake mwene ehagĩria.
19 Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit that is within you, that you received from God?
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ mĩĩrĩ yanyu nĩ hekarũ ya Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, ũrĩa mwaheirwo nĩ Ngai? Inyuĩ mũtirĩ anyu inyuĩ ene;
20 You don't belong to yourself—a price was paid for you! So glorify God in your body!
inyuĩ mwagũrirwo na thogora. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, tĩĩithagiai Ngai na mĩĩrĩ yanyu.
