1 Corinthians 7
1 Nowe concerning the thinges whereof ye wrote vnto mee, It were good for a man not to touche a woman.
Vaihi loe caa nang tarik o ih baktih toengah kang thuih o han: nongpa mah nongpata sui ai nahaeloe hoih.
2 Neuertheles, to auoide fornication, let euery man haue his wife, and let euery woman haue her owne husband.
Toe nongpa pongpata zaehaih ayae thai hanah, nongpa boih mah zu tawn nasoe loe, nongpata boih mah sava tawn nasoe.
3 Let the husband giue vnto the wife due beneuolence, and likewise also the wife vnto the husband.
Nongpa mah a zu han paek koi hmuen to kakoep ah paek nasoe: to baktih toengah nongpata mah doeh sava han paek toeng nasoe.
4 The wife hath not the power of her owne bodie, but ye husband: and likewise also the husband hath not ye power of his own body, but the wife.
Nongpata loe angmah ih takpum nuiah akaa tawn ai, a sava mah ni tawnh: to baktih toengah sava mah doeh a takpum nuiah akaa tawn ai, a zu mah ni tawnh.
5 Defraude not one another, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may giue your selues to fasting and praier, and againe come together that Satan tempt you not for your incontinecie.
Buhzah hoi lawkthuihaih atue patoh thai hanah, atue setta thung nongpa nongpata angkomhaih ayae rae si, tiah palungduehaih om ai ah loe, nongpa nongpata angkomhaih to ayae o hmah: nang sum o thai ai pongah, Setan mah pacuek thai han ai ah, nongpa nongpata angkomhaih to sah o let ah.
6 But I speake this by permission, not by commandement.
Toe hae loe kaalok na ai ni, to tiah sak han oh, tiah sak thaihaih ni ka thuih.
7 For I woulde that all men were euen as I my selfe am: but euery man hath his proper gift of God, one after this maner, and another after that.
Kami boih kaimah baktih toengah ohsak han ka koeh. Toe kami boih mah Sithaw khae hoi hnuk ih tangqum to tawnh o, maeto mah tawnh ih hmuen to lah moe, kalah maeto mah tawnh ih hmuen doeh lah.
8 Therefore I say vnto the vnmaried, and vnto the widowes, It is good for them if they abide euen as I doe.
To pongah imthong krah ai kami hoi lamhmainawk khaeah loe hae tiah ka thuih, kai baktiah om o nahaeloe nihcae han hoi tih.
9 But if they cannot abstaine, let them marrie: for it is better to marrie then to burne.
Toe angsum o thai ai nahaeloe, imthong krah o nasoe: taksa koehhaih hmai baktiah bet pongah loe imthong krak to hoih kue.
10 And vnto ye maried I comand, not I, but ye Lord, Let not ye wife depart from her husband.
Imthong krah tangcae kaminawk khaeah lok ka paek, Ka paek ih lok na ai, Angraeng mah paek ih lok ni; zu mah sava to caehtaak hmah nasoe:
11 But and if shee depart, let her remaine vnmaried, or be reconciled vnto her husband, and let not the husband put away his wife.
toe caehtaak nahaeloe, sava sah ai ah om nasoe, to tih ai boeh loe sava hoi araemhaih sah let nasoe: sava mah doeh a zu to pakhrah hmah nasoe.
12 But to ye remnant I speake, and not ye Lord, If any brother haue a wife, ye beleeueth not, if she be content to dwell with him, let him not forsake her.
Kalah kaminawk khaeah loe Angraeng mah thui ai, kai mah hae tiah ka thuih: mi kawbaktih nawkamya mah doeh Sithaw tang ai kami to zu ah lak naah, nongpata mah anih hoi nawnto oh han koeh nahaeloe, nongpata to pakhrah hmah nasoe.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that beleeueth not, if he be content to dwell with her, let her not forsake him.
To baktih toengah nongpata mah doeh Sithaw tang ai kami khaeah sava sak naah, sava mah anih hoi nawnto oh han koeh nahaeloe, sava to pakhrah hmah nasoe.
14 For the vnbeleeuing husband is sanctified to the wife, and the vnbeleeuing wife is sanctified to the husband, els were your children vncleane: but nowe are they holie.
Sithaw tang ai sava loe a zu rang hoiah ciim boeh, katang ai a zu doeh sava rang hoiah ciim boeh: to tiah na om o ai nahaeloe, na caanawk loe ciim o mak ai; toe nihcae loe vaihi ciimcai o boeh.
15 But if the vnbeleeuing depart, let him depart: a brother or a sister is not in subiection in such things: but God hath called vs in peace.
Toe Sithaw tang ai kami mah caehtaak han koeh nahaeloe, anih mah caehtaak nasoe. To tiah hmuen to om nahaeloe nawkamya nongpa maw, nongpata maw loe misong thungah om ai boeh: toe kamongah khosak han ih ni Sithaw mah aicae hae kawk.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt saue thine husband? Or what knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt saue thy wife?
Aw zu nang, na sava to na pahlong thai tih maw, pahlong thai mak ai? To tih ai boeh loe Aw sava nang, na zu to na pahlong thai tih maw, pahlong thai mak ai, tito kawbangmaw na panoek?
17 But as God hath distributed to euery man, as the Lord hath called euery one, so let him walke: and so ordaine I, in all Churches.
Sithaw mah kami boih han paek moe, Angraeng mah kami boih kawk baktih toengah anih mah khosak han oh. Kricaabunawk boih mah to tiah khosak hanah ka thuih.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not gather his vncircumcision: is any called vncircumcised? let him not be circumcised.
Tangzat hin aat kami ah anih to kawk maw? To tiah anih to kawk nahaeloe tangzat hin aat ai ah om hmah nasoe. Tangzat hin aat ai kami ah anih to kawk maw? To tiah kawk nahaeloe tangzat hin aat hmah nasoe.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and vncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandements of God.
Tangzat hin aah doeh atho om ai, tangzat hin aat ai doeh atho om ai, toe Sithaw ih kaalok pazuihaih to ni lokpui ah oh.
20 Let euery man abide in the same vocation wherein he was called.
Kami boih Sithaw mah kawk nathuem ih baktih toengah khosah han oh.
21 Art thou called being a seruant? care not for it: but if yet thou maiest be free, vse it rather.
Misong ah na oh naah maw ang kawk? Mawn khing hmah: toe na loih thaihaih atue om nahaeloe, loih thaihaih atue to patoh ah.
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being. a seruant, is the Lords freeman: likewise also he that is called being free, is Christes seruant.
Misong ah oh naah Angraeng mah kawk ih kami loe, kaloih Angraeng ih kami ah ni oh: to baktih toengah kaloih kami ah oh natheum ah kawk ih kami doeh Kri ih tamna ah ni oh.
23 Yee are bought with a price: be not the seruants of men.
Nangcae loe atho hoi qan ih kami ah ni na oh o boeh; to pongah kaminawk ih misong ah om o hma lai ah.
24 Brethren, let euery man, wherein hee was called, therein abide with God.
Nawkamyanawk, ang kawk o nathuem ih baktih toengah, Sithaw hoi nawnto om o poe ah.
25 Nowe concerning virgines, I haue no commandement of the Lord: but I giue mine aduise, as one that hath obtained mercie of the Lord to be faithfull.
Tangla cuemnawk hanah Angraeng khae hoi lokpaekhaih ka hnu ai: toe oep kaom ah oh hanah Angraeng khae hoi tahmenhaih hnu kami maeto ah ka oh baktih toengah, ka lok khaehhaih to ni ka thuih.
26 I suppose then this to bee good for the present necessitie: I meane that it is good for a man so to be.
Vaihi thuem ih atue karai hae poek naah, nongpa loe a oh ih baktih toengah oh poe han hoih, tiah ka poek.
27 Art thou bounde vnto a wife? seeke not to be loosed: art thou loosed from a wife? seeke not a wife.
Zu tawn kami ah maw na oh? Ampraek han poek hmah. Zu tawn ai kami ah maw na oh? Zu lak han pakrong hmah.
28 But if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not: and if a virgine marrie, shee sinneth not: neuerthelesse, such shall haue trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
Toe zu na lak cadoeh, zaehaih na tawn ai; tangla cuem mah sava sah cadoeh, anih loe zaehaih tawn ai. Toe to tiah om kaminawk loe taksa ah raihaih tong o tih: toe kai mah loe to baktih raihaih thung hoi loisak hanah kang koeh haih.
29 And this I say, brethren, because the time is short, hereafter that both they which haue wiues, be as though they had none:
Toe nawkamyanawk, hae tiah ka thuih: atue duemtet pongah, vaihi hoi kamtong zu tawn kaminawk loe zu tawn ai kami baktiah ni om o tih;
30 And they that weepe, as though they wept not: and they that reioyce, as though they reioyced not: and they that bye, as though they possessed not:
qah kaminawk loe qah ai baktih, anghoe kaminawk loe anghoe ai baktih, kaqan kaminawk loe katawn ai kami baktiah om o tih;
31 And they that vse this worlde, as though they vsed it not: for the fashion of this worlde goeth away.
hae long nuiah kamtueng hmuennawk hae anghmat boih tom boeh pongah, hae long patoh kaminawk loe patoh ai baktiah om o tih:
32 And I would haue you without care. The vnmaried careth for the things of the Lord, howe he may please the Lord.
toe mawnhaih na tawnh o han ai ah kang koeh o haih. Zu tawn ai kami loe Angraeng ih palung tong hanah, Angraeng ih toknawk to panki hoiah sak.
33 But hee that is maried, careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Toe zu tawn kami loe a zu koehhaih sak hanah, long nui ih hmuennawk to a poek.
34 There is difference also betweene a virgine and a wife: the vnmaried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy, both in body and in spirite: but shee that is maried, careth for the things of the worlde, howe shee may please her husband.
Sava tawn nongpata hoi tangla cuem loe anghmong ai. Sava tawn ai nongpata loe taksa hoi pakhra ciimcai hmaek thai hanah, Angraeng ih toknawk to panki hoiah sak: toe sava tawn nongpata loe, a sava koehhaih sak pae thai hanah, long nui ih hmuennawk nuiah a poekhaih palungthin to suek.
35 And this I speake for your owne commoditie, not to tangle you in a snare, but that yee follow that, which is honest, and that yee may cleaue fast vnto the Lord without separation.
Nangcae raihaih paek han ih na ai ah, nangcae atho oh thai han ih ni hae lok hae ka thuih; khet kamcuk ah kho na sak o moe, poek amkhraeng ai ah Angraeng ih tok na sak o thai han ih ni kang thuih o.
36 But if any man thinke that it is vncomely for his virgine, if shee passe the flower of her age, and neede so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them be maried.
Toe mi kawbaktih doeh sava sak han saning kakoep, kacuem ah kaom tangla to koeh moe, a nuiah khet kamcuk ai ah ka oh moeng boeh pongah, anih to zu ah ka lak han boeh, tiah poek nahaeloe, a koeh baktiah sah nasoe, zaehaih om ai: imthong krah hoi nasoe.
37 Neuerthelesse, hee that standeth firme in his heart, that hee hath no neede, but hath power ouer his owne will, and hath so decreed in his heart, that hee will keepe his virgine, hee doeth well.
Toe poekhaih kacak, poek angsum thaih, zu lak han angaih ai, zu la ai ah kacuem ah ka oh han, tiah poekhaih tawn kami loe kahoih hmuen ni a sak.
38 So then hee that giueth her to mariage, doeth well, but he that giueth her not to mariage, doeth better.
To pongah zu la kami loe kahoih hmuen ni a sak; toe zu la ai kami mah kahoih kue hmuen to sak.
39 The wife is bounde by the Lawe, as long as her husband liueth: but if her husband bee dead, shee is at libertie to marie with whome she will, onely in the Lord.
Zu loe sava hing nathung loihhaih om ai; toe sava duek pacoengah loe, a koeh ih kami khaeah sava a sak thaih, anih loe sava khae hoi loih boeh; toe Angraeng ah kahing kami khae khue ah sava sak han oh.
40 But shee is more blessed, if she so abide, in my iudgement: and I thinke that I haue also the Spirite of God.
Toe nongpata loe a oh baktih toengah om poe nahaeloe, hoih kue tih, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh: kai doeh Sithaw ih Muithla ka tawnh toeng, tiah ka poek.
