1 Corinthians 7
1 Nowe concerning the thinges whereof ye wrote vnto mee, It were good for a man not to touche a woman.
Sambano tulole imwanembele ila, kwambone ŵalume atame pangalombela.
2 Neuertheles, to auoide fornication, let euery man haue his wife, and let euery woman haue her owne husband.
Nambo kwaligongo lya chikululu, kila jwannume akole ŵankwakwe nsyene, nombe kila jwankongwe akole ŵankwakwe nsyene.
3 Let the husband giue vnto the wife due beneuolence, and likewise also the wife vnto the husband.
Ikusachilwa jwannume ŵapeje ŵankwakwe yaikuŵajilwa, iyoyopeyo ikusachilwa ni jwankongwe ŵapeje ŵankwakwe yaikuŵajilwa.
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.
Jwankongwe nganakola ulamusi pa chiilu chakwe nsyene nambo ŵankwakwe, iyoyopeyo jwannume nganakola ulamusi pa chiilu chakwe nsyene ikaŵe ŵankwakwe.
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.
Nkajimana, nambo njitichisyane kwa moŵa kanandi kuti nkole katema kambone ka kupopela. Nkakaŵa kwonegana sooni, Shetani ngasaika kunlinga kwakulepela kupililila.
6 But I speake this by permission, not by commandement.
Maloŵe ganansalile nganigaŵa malajisyo, nambo nkukombola kusagula.
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.
Ngulajila ŵandu wose aŵeje mpela indite pakuŵa une, nambo jwali jose akwete ntulilo wakwe nsyene kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, jwine akwete ntulilo wu ni jwine akwete ntulilo aula.
8 Therefore I say vnto the vnmaried, and vnto the widowes, It is good for them if they abide euen as I doe.
Nipele aŵala ŵangalombela ni kulombwa ni ŵawililwe ni achiŵankwawo, ngwasalila nyi, mbaya atame mpela mungutamila une.
9 But if they cannot abstaine, let them marrie: for it is better to marrie then to burne.
Nambo iŵaga mundu ngakukombola kulisiŵila, alombele. Ili mbaya kulombela ngaŵa kukolelwa ni msese.
10 And vnto ye maried I comand, not I, but ye Lord, Let not ye wife depart from her husband.
Kwa aŵala ŵamasile kulombana ngumpa malajisyo ga, ngaŵa gangu une nambo ga Ambuje, jwankongwe ngasalekana ni ŵankwakwe.
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.
Nambo iŵaga alekengene atameje pangalombekwa, pane ajilane ni ŵankwakwe, iyoyo peyo ni jwannume ngasiŵaleka ŵankwakwe.
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.
Nombe kwa ŵane uneji nguti nyi, gelega ngaŵa malajisyo ga Ambuje, iŵaga jwannume akwete jwankongwe jwangankulupilila Kilisito ni jwankongwe jo akundile kutama ni ŵankwakwe, jwannume jo akasanleka ŵankwakwe.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that beleeueth not, if he be content to dwell with her, let her not forsake him.
Jwankongwe jwakwete ŵankwakwe ŵangakunkulupilila Kilisito ni jwannume jo akundile kutama ni ŵankwakwe, jwankongwe jo akasanleka ŵankwakwe.
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.
Pakuŵa jwele jwannume jwangakunkulupilila Kilisito akukundikwa ni Akunnungu kwa litala lya ŵankwakwe. Ni jwankongwe jwangakunkulupilila Kilisito akukundikwa ni Akunnungu kwa litala lya ŵankwakwe. Ikaŵaga yeleyo ŵanache ŵao akaliji mpela ŵanache ŵa ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu nambo sambano akundikwe ni Akunnungu.
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.
Iŵaga jwangakunkulupilila Kilisito jula akusaka kunneka njakwe jwali jwakukulupilila, munneche atende yeleyo, pelepo jwankongwe pane jwannume jwakunkulupilila Kilisito ngaakutaŵikwa. Akunnungu atuŵilasile uwe tutame mu chitendewele.
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?
Pakuŵa nkwimanyilila uli mwe jwankongwe junkwakulupilila Kilisito panjipa chinkombole kwakulupusya ŵankwenu? Pane nkwimanyilila uli mwe jwannume junkwakulupilila Kilisito panjipa chimpakombole kwakulupusya ŵankwenu?
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.
Mundu jwalijose ajendelechele kutama mu utame wapegwilwe ni Ambuje, atame mpela yatite kutama paŵaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu. Gelega ni gangwasalila ŵandu wose mu mipingo jose ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not gather his vncircumcision: is any called vncircumcised? let him not be circumcised.
Iŵaga mundu ŵaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu ali aumbele, ngasalitesya mpela nganaumbala. Ni iŵaga mundu ŵaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu akanaŵe kuumbala, ngasaumbala.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and vncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandements of God.
Kuumbala ngaŵa chindu ni ungaumbala ngaŵa chindu, nambo chindu chachikusachilwa chili kugakamulisya makanyo ga Akunnungu.
20 Let euery man abide in the same vocation wherein he was called.
Jwalijose asigalile iyoyo mpela iŵaliji paŵaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu.
21 Art thou called being a seruant? care not for it: but if yet thou maiest be free, vse it rather.
Ana mwaŵilanjikwe nli kapolo? Nkaikosya, nachiŵamuno nkwete lipesa lya kuŵa mundu jwanganintaŵikwa nambo ntumiye lye lipesa kupanganya yambone.
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.
Pakuŵa jwele jwaŵilanjikwe ni Ambuje ali kapolo, jwelejo chaŵe jwalechelelwe ni Ambuje. Iyoyo peyo jwelejo jwaŵilanjikwe ali alechelelwe, jwelejo akuŵa kapolo jwa Kilisito.
23 Yee are bought with a price: be not the seruants of men.
Akunnungu ansumile kwa ntengo wekulungwa, ngasimma achikapolo ŵa ŵandu.
24 Brethren, let euery man, wherein hee was called, therein abide with God.
Achalongo achinjangu, mundu jwalijose ajendelechele kutama mu utame ulaula mpela iŵaliji paŵaŵilanjikwe, pakuŵa Akunnungu ali pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
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.
Sambano, nkati aila innembile kukwangu nkati ŵaliŵali pe ni ŵangalombela, une nganingola malajisyo kutyochela kwa Ambuje nambo nguŵecheta yeleyo mpela mundu jwakukulupilichika ni jumbochele chanasa cha Ambuje.
26 I suppose then this to bee good for the present necessitie: I meane that it is good for a man so to be.
Kwaligongo lya kulaga kunkulaga, une nguganisya kuti, ili yambone mundu atameje iyoyo yaali.
27 Art thou bounde vnto a wife? seeke not to be loosed: art thou loosed from a wife? seeke not a wife.
Ana nnombele? Nkasaka kulekangana ni ŵankwenu. Ana nganinnombele? Nkasaka kulombela.
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.
Nambo iŵaga chinnombele, ngankola sambi, ni mwali ŵalombwagwa, ngakola sambi, ŵandu ŵanti yele talaje mu umi wa pachilambo pa, nambo une ngusaka ganansimane gelego.
29 And this I say, brethren, because the time is short, hereafter that both they which haue wiues, be as though they had none:
Achalongo achinjangu, ngusaka sale nyi: Katema kakasigalile kali kakajipi, kutandilila sambano aŵala ŵalombele aŵeje mpela ila nganalombela.
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:
Aŵala ŵakulila aŵeje mpela ngakulila. Aŵala ŵakusengwa aŵeje mpela ngakusengwa. Aŵala ŵakusuma aŵeje mpela ŵangali chindu.
31 And they that vse this worlde, as though they vsed it not: for the fashion of this worlde goeth away.
Ŵakulichenjeusya ni indu ya pa chilambo pano aŵeje mpela ngaakulichenjeusya ni indu yo. Pakuŵa indu ya pa chilambo pano ikuŵandichila kupita.
32 And I would haue you without care. The vnmaried careth for the things of the Lord, howe he may please the Lord.
Ngusaka ŵanyamwe nkaŵa ni lipamba. Mundu jwangalombela akulichenjeusya ni masengo ga Ambuje, pakuŵa akusosa itajile pakwanonyelesya Ambuje.
33 But hee that is maried, careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Nambo jwannume jwalombele akulichenjeusya ni masengo ga pachilambo chi, pakuŵa akusosa itajile pakwanonyelesya ŵankwakwe,
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.
nombejo asigalile pamalekano. Jwankongwe jwangalombekwa pane mwali akulichenjeusya ni masengo ga Ambuje kuti aliŵiche pa jika kwa chiilu ni mbumu kwa ligongo lya Ambuje. Nambo jwankongwe jwalombekwe akulichenjeusya ni indu ya pachilambo chi, pakuŵa akusosa itajile pakwanonyelesya ŵankwakwe.
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.
Ngusala yele kuti nankamusye, ngangusaka kummichila chakusiŵila, nambo ngusaka ntendekanye yaikusachilwa kuti nkombole kwatumichila Ambuje, kwa ntima umo ni nningwa umo.
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.
Nambo mundu jwalijose iŵaga akuganisya kuti ngakumpanganyichisya yambone mwali jwantomele kwa kuleka kwalombela, ni aiwonaga kuti yaka ikupita, ni misese jakwe jikwatesya alepele kulisiŵila, atende yakuti pakusaka, alombane. Kwa kutenda yeleyo ngakutenda sambi.
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.
Nambo jwannume jo asakaga nsyene pangakanganichiswa kuti ngaalombela, ni iŵaga ngaakwakolela misese achakongwe, jwelejo akutenda yambone pangannombela mwali jwantomele jo.
38 So then hee that giueth her to mariage, doeth well, but he that giueth her not to mariage, doeth better.
Nipele jwele jwakulombela akupanganya yambone ni jwele jwangakulombela akupanganya yambone nnope.
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.
Jwankongwe jwalombekwe akutaŵikwa ni ŵankwakwe kwa katema kose ŵankwakwe ali ŵajumi. Nambo ŵankwakwe ajasikaga, akukombola kulombwa sooni ni mundu jwakunsaka, nambo jwannume jo aŵeje jwakunkulupilila Kilisito.
40 But shee is more blessed, if she so abide, in my iudgement: and I thinke that I haue also the Spirite of God.
Nambo inguti pakuganisya une, jwankongwe jo chasangalale kwannope iŵaga chatame iyoyo pangalombekwa. Syele sili nganisyo syangu, none nguganisya yakuti ngwete Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
