1 Corinthians 7
1 Nowe concerning the thinges whereof ye wrote vnto mee, It were good for a man not to touche a woman.
Jaanong kaga dipotso tse lo neng lo di botsa mo lokwalong lwa lona lwa bofelo: Karabo ya me ke gore, fa lo sa nyale, go siame.
2 Neuertheles, to auoide fornication, let euery man haue his wife, and let euery woman haue her owne husband.
Mme ka legale go siame go nyala, monna mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse a nna le mosadi yo e leng wa gagwe, le mosadi mongwe le mongwe a nna le monna yo e leng wa gagwe, e se re gongwe lwa boela gape mo sebeng.
3 Let the husband giue vnto the wife due beneuolence, and likewise also the wife vnto the husband.
Monna o tshwanetse go naya mosadi wa gagwe di tsa gagwe tsotlhe jaaka mosadi yo o nyetsweng, le mosadi o tshwanetse go direla monna wa gagwe fela jalo.
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.
Gonne morweetsana yo o nyalwang ga a tlhole a na le taolo e e tletseng mo mmeleng wa gagwe, gonne monna wa gagwe o na le ditshwanelo tsa gagwe mo go one le ene; mme fela jalo monna le ene ga a tlhole a na le taolo e e tletseng mo mmeleng wa gagwe, gonne gape ke wa mosadi wa gagwe.
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.
Jalo lo seka lwa ganelelana ka ditshwa-nelo tse. Fela selo sa botlhokwa mo molaong o ke ka tumalano ya monna le mosadi go ikgapa mo ditaolong tsa lenyalo selekanyo sa lobaka lo lo kailweng, gore ba tle ba ineele mo thapelong ka tshosologo. Morago, ba tshwanetse go kopana gape gore Satane a se ka a kgona go ba raela ka ntlha ya go tlhoka go itshwara ga bone.
6 But I speake this by permission, not by commandement.
Ga ke re lo tshwanetse go nyala; mme lo ka nyala fa lo eletsa.
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.
Nna ke eletsa gore mongwe le mongwe o ka bo a nna a sa nyala, fela jaaka nna. Mme rotlhe ga re tshwane. Modimo o naya bangwe mpho ya mosadi kgotsa monna, mme ba bangwe ba ka kgona go nna ka boitumelo ba sa nyala.
8 Therefore I say vnto the vnmaried, and vnto the widowes, It is good for them if they abide euen as I doe.
Jalo ke raya ba ba sa nyalwang, le batlholagadi ke re, go botoka go nna lo sa nyalwa fa lo kgona, fela jaaka nna.
9 But if they cannot abstaine, let them marrie: for it is better to marrie then to burne.
Mme fa lo palelwa ke go itshoka, nyalang. Go botoka go nyala go na le go babalelwa.
10 And vnto ye maried I comand, not I, but ye Lord, Let not ye wife depart from her husband.
Jaanong, mo go ba ba nyetseng ke na le taolo, e seng mogopolo. Mme ga se taolo e e tswang mo go nna, gonne se ke se Morena ka boene a se buileng: Mosadi ga a a tshwanela go tlogela monna wa gagwe.
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.
Mme fa a kgaogane nae, a a nne fela a sa nyalwa kgotsa a boele kwa go ene. Le monna ga a a tshwanela go tlhala mosadi wa gagwe.
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.
Fa, ke batla go tlatsa ka megopolo e mengwe e e leng ya me. Se ga se ditaolo tse di tswang kwa Moreneng, mme di bonala di siame mo go nna. Fa Mokeresete a na le mosadi yo e seng Mokeresete, mme a batla go nna nae, ga a a tshwanela go mo tlogela kgotsa go mo tlhala.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that beleeueth not, if he be content to dwell with her, let her not forsake him.
Mme fa mosadi wa Mokeresete a na le monna yo eseng Mokeresete, ga a a tshwanela go mo tlogela.
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.
Gonne gongwe monna yo e seng Mokeresete o ka nna Mokeresete ka thuso ya mosadi wa gagwe wa Mokeresete. Le mosadi yo e seng Mokeresete o ka nna Mokeresete ka thuso ya monna wa gagwe yo e leng Mokeresete. Ntle go moo fa lolwapa lo kgaogana, go ka diragala gore bana ba se ka ba tlhola ba itse Morena; fa lolwapa lo lo kopaneng lo ka itse Morena, mo leanong la Modimo go ka felela mo polokong ya bana.
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.
Mme fa monna kgotsa mosadi yo e seng Mokeresete a batla go tsamaya, go a letlelesega. Ka mokgwa o o ntseng jalo monna yo e leng Mokeresete kgotsa mosadi ga a a tshwanela go kganela yo mongwe go tsamaya, gonne Modimo o batla bana ba one go nna mo kagisong le mo botsalanong.
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?
Gonne le fa go ntse jalo, ga go na tlhomamiso mo go lona basadi gore banna ba lona ba tlaa sokologa fa ba sa lo tlogele; mme fela jalo le lona banna kgang ke e, e a lo ama.
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.
Mme lo nne le tlhomamiso mo go akanyeng dilo tse gore lo tshele jaaka Modimo o ikaeletse, go nyala kgotsa go tlhoka go nyala go nne ka fa kaelong le ka fa thusong ya Modimo, le go amogela seemo le fa e ka bo e le sefe se Modimo o go tsentseng mo go sone. Se ke molao wa me mo diphuthegong tsotlhe.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not gather his vncircumcision: is any called vncircumcised? let him not be circumcised.
Nte ke tshwantshe ka monna yo o setseng a fetile mo medirong ya Sejuta ya thupiso pele ga a nna Mokeresete, ga a a tshwanela go tshwenyega ka ga gone; mme fa a ise a rupisiwe, ga a a tshwanela go go dira jaanong.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and vncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandements of God.
Gonne ga go na pharologanyo epe fa Mokeresete a fetile mo modirong o kgotsa nnyaa. Mme go nna le pharologanyo e kgolo fa a itumedisa Modimo ebile a tshegetsa melao ya one. Seo ke selo se se botlhokwa.
20 Let euery man abide in the same vocation wherein he was called.
Ka gale motho o tshwanetse go tswelela ka tiro ya gagwe e o neng a e dira fa Modimo o mmitsa.
21 Art thou called being a seruant? care not for it: but if yet thou maiest be free, vse it rather.
A o lekgoba? A moo go se go tshwenye, mme e re, fa o bona lobaka lwa go gololesega, o lo dirise.
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.
Fa Modimo o go bitsa, o le lekgoba, gakologelwa gore Keresete o go golotse mo nonofong e e boitshegang ya boleo; mme fa a go biditse, ebile o gololesegile, gakologelwa gore jaanong o lekgoba la ga Keresete.
23 Yee are bought with a price: be not the seruants of men.
O rekilwe ebile o dueletswe ke Keresete, jalo o wa gagwe, gololesega jaanong mo dilong tse tsotlhe tsa mabela a lefatshe le poifo.
24 Brethren, let euery man, wherein hee was called, therein abide with God.
Jalo bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, le fa motho a ka bo a le mo seemong se se ntseng jang fa a nna Mokeresete, mo lese a nne foo, gonne jaanong Morena o teng go mo thusa.
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.
Jaanong ke tlaa leka go araba potso e nngwe ya lona. Go ka tweng ka barweetsana ba ba iseng ba nyalwe? A ba tshwanetse go letlelelwa go dira jalo? Mo karabong ya potso e, ga ke na taolo e e tlhomameng ya bone go tswa mo Moreneng. Mme Morena mo bobelotlhomoging jwa gagwe o nneile botlhale jo bo ka tshephegang, mme ke tlaa itumelela go lo bolelela se ke se akanyang.
26 I suppose then this to bee good for the present necessitie: I meane that it is good for a man so to be.
Matshwenyego ke a. Rona Bakeresete re lebagane le dikotsi tse di kgolo mo matshelong a rona mo lobakeng lo. Mo dipakeng tse di tshwanang le tse, ke bona go le botoka gore motho a nne a sa nyalwa kgotsa a sa nyala.
27 Art thou bounde vnto a wife? seeke not to be loosed: art thou loosed from a wife? seeke not a wife.
Ee, fa lo setse lo nyetswe, se kgaoganeng ka ntlha ya se. Mme fa lo ise lo nyalwe, lo se itlhaganeleleng mo go yone ka lobaka lo.
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.
Mme fa lona banna lo ikaelela go tswelela pele lo nyala jaanong, go siame; mme fa morweetsana a nyalwa mo dipakeng tse di tshwanang le tse, ga se boleo. Le fa go ntse jalo lenyalo le tlaa tlisa matshwenyego a mangwe a ke neng ke eletsa gore lo se ka lwa lebagana le one jaanong.
29 And this I say, brethren, because the time is short, hereafter that both they which haue wiues, be as though they had none:
Selo sa botlhokwa se re tshwanetseng go se gakologelwa ke gore, lobaka lo lo re saletseng lo lo khutshwane, (Go ntse jalo le ka nako ya rona ya go direla Morena) ka lebaka leo ba ba nang le basadi ba tshwanetse go nna ba phuthologetse Morena;
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:
boitumelo kgotsa kutlobotlhoko kgotsa dikhumo ga di a tshwanela go kganela ope go dira tiro ya Modimo.
31 And they that vse this worlde, as though they vsed it not: for the fashion of this worlde goeth away.
Ba ba atisang go amana le dilo tse di kgatlhanong tsa lefatshe ba tshwanetse go dirisa mabaka a a batlegang ka go a sola molemo, gonne lefatshe mo seemong se le leng mo go sone le tlaa tloga le feta.
32 And I would haue you without care. The vnmaried careth for the things of the Lord, howe he may please the Lord.
Mo go tsotlhe tse lo di dirang, ke batla gore lo nne le kgololesego mo dingongoreng. Monna yo o sa nyalang o ka senya lobaka lwa gagwe a dira tiro ya Morena le go akanya ka fa o ka o itumedisang ka teng.
33 But hee that is maried, careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Mme monna yo o nyetseng ga a ka ke a dira jalo sentle; o tshwanetse go akanya kaga dilo tsa lefatshe le ka fa o ka itumedisang mosadi wa gagwe ka teng.
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.
Dikgatlhego tsa gagwe di kgaogane. Go tshwana fela le morweetsana yo o nyalwang. O lebana le mathata a a ntseng fela jalo. Morweetsana yo o sa nyalwang o tlhwaafalela go itumedisa Morena ka bojotlhe jwa gagwe le se o se dirang. Mme mosadi yo o nyetsweng o tshwanetse go akanya dilo tse dingwe jaaka go tlhokomela ntlo ya gagwe le go rata le go sa rate ga monna wa gagwe.
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.
Ke bua se go lo thusa, eseng go lo itsa go nyala. Ke batla lo dira se lo bonang se ka lo thusa go direla Morena sentle, mme a go se nne le dilo tse dintsi tse di ka tlosang theetso ya lona mo go ene.
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.
Mme fa mongwe a batla go nyala ka ntlha ya gore o na le matshwenyego a a dirisang nama ya gagwe, go siame, ga se boleo, a a nyale.
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.
Mme fa monna a na le maitshegeletso a go tlhoka go nyala mme a ikaelela gore ga a batle ebile ga a nke a nyala, o dirile mogopolo o o siameng.
38 So then hee that giueth her to mariage, doeth well, but he that giueth her not to mariage, doeth better.
Jalo motho yo o nyalang o dira sentle, mme motho yo o sa nyaleng o dira sentle go gaisa.
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.
Mosadi ke bontlha bongwe jwa monna mo botshelong jwa gagwe, fa monna wa gagwe a a swa, foo o ka nyalwa gape, mme fela fa a nyalwa ke Mokeresete.
40 But shee is more blessed, if she so abide, in my iudgement: and I thinke that I haue also the Spirite of God.
Mme mo mogopolong wa me, o tlaa itumela fa a sa nyalwe gape; ebile ke gopola gore ke lo naya kgakololo e e tswang mo Moweng wa Modimo fa ke bua se.
