1 Corinthians 6
1 Dare any of you, hauing businesse against an other, be iudged vnder the vniust, and not vnder the Saintes?
Kama mtu yeyote wa kwenu ana ugomvi na mwenzake, anathubutuje kuupeleka kwa wasiomcha Mungu ili kuamuliwa badala ya kuupeleka kwa watakatifu?
2 Doe ye not knowe, that the Saintes shall iudge the worlde? If the worlde then shalbe iudged by you, are ye vnworthie to iudge the smallest matters?
Je, hamjui kwamba watakatifu watauhukumu ulimwengu? Nanyi kama mtauhukumu ulimwengu, je, hamwezi kuamua mambo madogo madogo?
3 Knowe ye not that we shall iudge the Angels? howe much more, things that perteine to this life?
Hamjui kwamba tutawahukumu malaika? Je, si zaidi mambo ya maisha haya?
4 If then ye haue iudgements of things perteining to this life, set vp them which are least esteemed in the Church.
Kwa hiyo kama kuna ugomvi miongoni mwenu kuhusu mambo kama haya, chagueni kuwa waamuzi, watu ambao wanaonekana hata sio wa heshima katika kanisa.
5 I speake it to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise man among you? no not one, that can iudge betweene his brethren?
Nasema hivi ili mwone aibu. Je, inawezekana kuwa miongoni mwenu hakuna mtu mwenye hekima ya kutosha kuamua ugomvi kati ya waaminio?
6 But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that vnder the infidels.
Badala yake ndugu mmoja anampeleka mwenzake mahakamani, tena mbele ya watu wasioamini!
7 Nowe therefore there is altogether infirmitie in you, in that yee goe to lawe one with another: why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather susteine yee not harme?
Huko kuwa na mashtaka miongoni mwenu ina maana kwamba tayari ni kushindwa kabisa. Kwa nini msikubali kutendewa mabaya? Kwa nini msikubali kunyangʼanywa?
8 Nay, yee your selues doe wrong, and doe harme, and that to your brethren.
Badala yake, ninyi wenyewe mwadanganya na kutenda mabaya, tena mwawatendea ndugu zenu.
9 Knowe yee not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceiued: neither fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor wantons, nor buggerers,
Je, hamjui kwamba wasio haki hawataurithi Ufalme wa Mungu? Msidanganyike: Waasherati, wala waabudu sanamu, wala wazinzi, wala wahanithi, wala walawiti,
10 Nor theeues, nor couetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners shall inherite the kingdome of God.
wala wezi, wala wenye tamaa mbaya, wala walevi, wala wanaodhihaki, wala wanyangʼanyi hawataurithi Ufalme wa Mungu.
11 And such were some of you: but yee are washed, but yee are sanctified, but yee are iustified in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Baadhi yenu mlikuwa kama hao. Lakini mlioshwa, mlitakaswa, mlihesabiwa haki kwa jina la Bwana Yesu Kristo na katika Roho wa Mungu wetu.
12 All thinges are lawfull vnto mee, but all thinges are not profitable. I may doe all things, but I will not be brought vnder the power of any thing.
“Vitu vyote ni halali kwangu”: lakini si vitu vyote vyenye faida. “Vitu vyote ni halali kwangu”: lakini sitatawaliwa na kitu chochote.
13 Meates are ordeined for the bellie, and the belly for the meates: but God shall destroy both it, and them. Nowe the bodie is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the bodie.
“Chakula ni cha tumbo, na tumbo ni la chakula”: lakini Mungu ataviangamiza vyote viwili. Mwili haukuumbwa kwa ajili ya zinaa bali kwa ajili ya Bwana na Bwana kwa ajili ya mwili.
14 And God hath also raised vp the Lord, and shall raise vs vp by his power.
Naye Mungu aliyemfufua Bwana kutoka kwa wafu atatufufua sisi pia kwa uweza wake.
15 Knowe yee not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
Je, hamjui kwamba miili yenu ni viungo vya Kristo mwenyewe? Je, nichukue viungo vya mwili wa Kristo na kuviunganisha na mwili wa kahaba? La hasha!
16 Doe ye not knowe, that he which coupleth himselfe with an harlot, is one body? for two, sayeth he, shalbe one flesh.
Hamjui kwamba aliyeungwa na kahaba anakuwa mwili mmoja naye? Kwa kuwa imenenwa, “Hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja.”
17 But hee that is ioyned vnto the Lord, is one spirite.
Lakini mtu aliyeungwa na Bwana anakuwa roho moja naye.
18 Flee fornication: euery sinne that a man doeth, is without the bodie: but hee that committeth fornication, sinneth against his owne bodie.
Ikimbieni zinaa. Dhambi zingine zote atendazo mtu ziko nje ya mwili wake, lakini yeye aziniye hutenda dhambi ndani ya mwili wake mwenyewe.
19 Knowe yee not, that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost, which is in you, whom ye haue of God? and yee are not your owne.
Je, hamjui ya kwamba miili yenu ni hekalu la Roho Mtakatifu akaaye ndani yenu, ambaye mmepewa na Mungu? Ninyi si mali yenu wenyewe,
20 For yee are bought for a price: therefore glorifie God in your bodie, and in your spirit: for they are Gods.
kwa maana mmenunuliwa kwa gharama. Kwa hiyo mtukuzeni Mungu katika miili yenu.
