1 Corinthians 6
1 Dare any of you, hauing businesse against an other, be iudged vnder the vniust, and not vnder the Saintes?
Mmoja wenu anapokuwa na tatizo na mwenzake, anathubutu kwenda kwa mahakama ya wasio haki kuliko mbele ya waumini?
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?
Hamjui kuwa waumini watauhukumu ulimwengu? Na kama mtauhukumu ulimwengu, hamuwezi kuamua mambo yasiyo muhimu?
3 Knowe ye not that we shall iudge the Angels? howe much more, things that perteine to this life?
Hamjui kuwa tutawahukumu malaika? Kwa kiasi gani zaidi, tunaweza kuamua 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.
Kama tunaweza kuhukumu mambo ya maisha haya, kwa nini mnathubutu kupeleka mashitaka mbele ya wasiosimama kanisani?
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 haya kwa aibu yenu. Hakuna mwenye busara miongoni mwenu wa kutosha kuweka mambo sawa kati ya ndugu na ndugu?
6 But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that vnder the infidels.
Lakini kama ilivyo sasa, mwamini mmoja huenda mahakamani dhidi ya muumini mwingine, na mashitaka hayo huwekwa mbele ya hakimu asiyeamini!
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?
Ukweli ni kwamba kuna matatizo katikati ya Wakristo yaliyoleta tayari usumbufu kwenu. Kwanini msiteseke kwa mabaya? Kwanini mnakubali kudanganywa?
8 Nay, yee your selues doe wrong, and doe harme, and that to your brethren.
Lakini mmetenda uovu na kudanganya wengine, na hao ni kaka na dada 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,
Hamjui kwamba wasio haki hawataurithi ufalme wa Mungu? Msiamini uongo. Waasherati, waabudu sanamu, wazinzi, wafiraji, walawiti,
10 Nor theeues, nor couetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners shall inherite the kingdome of God.
wevi, wachoyo, walevi, wanyang'anyi, watukanaji-hakuna miongoni mwao atakayeurithi 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.
Na hao walikuwa baadhi yao ni ninyi. Lakini mmekwisha kutakaswa, lakini mmekwisha kuoshwa, lakini mmekwisha kutengwa kwa Mungu, lakini mmefanywa haki mbele za Mungu katika jina la Bwana Yesu Kristo na kwa 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 kila kitu kina faida. “Vitu vyote ni halali kwangu,” lakini sitatawaliwa na kimoja cha hivyo.
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 kwa ajili ya tumbo, na tumbo ni kwa ajili ya chakula,” lakini Mungu atavitowesha vyote. Mwili haujaumbwa kwa ajili ya ukahaba, badala yake, mwili ni kwa ajili ya Bwana, na Bwana atauhudumia mwili.
14 And God hath also raised vp the Lord, and shall raise vs vp by his power.
Mungu alimfufua Bwana na sisi pia atatufufua kwa nguvu zake.
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.
Hamjui kwamba miili yenu ina muunganiko na Kristo? Mwawezaje kuvitoa viungo vya Kristo na kwenda kuviunganisha na kahaba? Haiwezekani!
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 anayeungana na kahaba amekuwa mwili mmoja naye? Kama andiko lisemavyo, “Wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja.”
17 But hee that is ioyned vnto the Lord, is one spirite.
Lakini anayeungana na Bwana anakuwa roho moja pamoja 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! “Kila dhambi aifanyayo mtu ni nje na mwili wake. Lakini zinaa, mtu hutenda dhambi dhidi 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.
Hamjui kuwa miili yenu ni hekalu la Roho Mtakatifu, akaaye ndani yenu, yule ambaye mlipewa kutoka kwa Mungu? Hamjui kwamba si ninyi wenyewe?
20 For yee are bought for a price: therefore glorifie God in your bodie, and in your spirit: for they are Gods.
Kwamba mlinunuliwa kwa thamani. Kwa hiyo mtukuzeni Mungu kwa miili yenu.
