1 Corinthians 7
1 But concerning those things about which you wrote to me: That it is good for a man not to receive a wife:
Kuhusu mambo ghamnyandikili: Kuyele wakati ambapu ni kinofu ngosi akolokugona ni ndala munu.
2 but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Lakini kwa ndabha ya majaribu mingi gha zinaa khila ngosi ayelai ni ndala wa muene, na khila ndala ayelai ni ngosi munu.
3 Let the husband give to the wife that which is due, and likewise the wife also to the husband.
Ngosi ipasika kumpela ndala haki ya muene ya ndobho, ni khela khela ndala ni muene kwa ngosi munu.
4 The wife has not the authority over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not the authority over his own body, but the wife.
Si ndala yayele ni mamlaka juu ya mbhelhe wa muene, ni ngosi. Khela khela, ngosi ni muene ayelepi ni mamlaka juu ya mbhele wa muene, bali ndala ayenaku.
5 Do not defraud one another, unless it may be with consent for a time, that you may give attention to prayer, and again come together, in order that Satan may not tempt you on account of your incontinency.
Mkolokuyimana pamwigona pamonga, isipokwa mkubalianaa kwa muda maalum. Mketai naha ili kukabha muda wa maombi. Kisha mwibhuesya kukhelhebhukilana kabhele pamonga, ili kwamba Shetani akolokuhida kubhajaribu kwa kukosa kiasi.
6 But I speak this according to knowledge, not according to commandment.
Lakini nijobha agha mambo kwa hiari na si kama amri.
7 But I wish that all men were even as myself; but each one has his own gift from God, some one, and some another.
Nitamani kila mmonga ngayele kama nene kaniyele. Lakini khila mmonga ayele ni karama ya muene kuhoma kwa K'yara. Oyo ayele ni karama eye, ni yhola karama yhela.
8 But I speak to the unmarried and the widows, that it is good for them that they may remain even as I:
Kwa bhabelili kugegekibhwa ni bhajane niobha kwamba, ni kinofu kwa bhene kama bhabakili bila kugegekibhwa, kama kaniyele nene.
9 but if they do not contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Lakini kama mwibhuesyalepi kwizuila, bhipasibhwa kugegekibhwa kwa ndabha heri kwa bhene kugegekibhwa kuliko kuyaka tamaa.
10 But I proclaim to those who have married, not I, but the Lord, That a wife shall not depart from her husband
henu kwa bhala bhabhagegekibhu nikabhaphela amri, nelepi bali ni Bwana. “Ndala akolokutengana ni ngosi munu.”
11 (but if indeed she may depart, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled unto her husband); and that the husband shall not send away the wife.
Lakini kama kajitenga kuhoma kwa ngosi munu, abakilai mewa bila kugegekibhwa au vinginevyo apatanai ni ngosi munu. Ni “Ngosi akolokumphela talaka ndala munu.”
12 But I say to the rest, not the Lord, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is willing to live with him, let him not send her away.
Lakini bhakili, nijobha - nene, si Bwana -kwamba kama ndongo yeywoha yhola ayele ni ndala yaiaminilepi na iridhika kuishi ni muene, ipasibhwa lepi kundeka.
13 And if any wife has an unbelieving husband, and he is willing to live with her, let her not send away her husband.
Kama ndala ayele ni ngosi yakamwamini lepi natiai iridhika kuishi ni muene, akolokundeka.
14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the brother. Since then your children are unclean; but now they are holy.
Kwa ngosi yabelili kuamini itasika kwa ndabha ya imani ya ndala munu. Ni ndala yabelili kuamini itakasika kwa ndabha ya ngosi munu yaiamini. Viginevyo Bwana bhuinyu ngabhayelepi safi, lakini kwa kueli bhatakasiki.
15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him or her depart; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. God has called you in peace.
Lakini mwenzi yaiaminilepi kabhokai na alotai. Kwa namna eyu, mhaja au ndhombho bhifungibhwalepi ni fiapo fya bhene. K'yara atukutili kwa amani.
16 For what do you know, O wife, if you shall save your husband? And what do you know, O husband, if you shall save your wife?
Wimanyala bhuli kama ndala, huenda ilota kumwokola ngosibhu? Au wimanya bhuli kama ngosi, huenda ilotakumwola ndalabhu?
17 If not as the Lord has imparted to each one, and as God has called each one, so let him or her walk. And thus I command in all the churches.
Khila mmonga tu aishi maisha kama Bwana akibhagabhili, khila mmonga kama K'yara akibhakutili bhene. Obho ni mwongozo wa nene kwa makanisa ghoha.
18 Is one called having been circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has one been called in uncircumcision? let him not get circumcised.
Ayele yataharibhu pakutibhu kuamini? Akolokujaribu kubhoka alama ya tohara ya muene.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Ayele yeywoha yhola yakutibhu mu imani ataharibhulepi wala yabelili kutahiribhwa kuyelepi matatizo. Kakujele ni matatizo ni kutii amri sa K'yara.
20 Let each one abide in the same calling in which he is called.
Khila mmonga abakilai mu wito kayele pakutibhu ni K'yara kuamini.
21 Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference.
Wayele mtumwa wakati K'yara pakukutili? Ukolokujali kuhusu eyu. Lakini kama wibhuesya kuya huru, fuanyai naha.
22 For the one having been called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman: likewise the one having been called, while free, is the slave of Christ.
Kwa mmonga yaikutibhwa ni Bwana kama mtumwa ni munu huru mu Bwana. Kama khela, yayele huru pakutibhu kuamini ni mtumwa wa Kristu.
23 You have been bought with a price; be not the slaves of men.
Mmali kugholibhwa kwa thamani, henu mkolokuya bhatumwa bhanadamu.
24 Let each one remain with the Lord, in the same calling in which he was called, brethren.
Mhaja ni ndhombho bhangu, mu maisha ghoghoha khila mmonga watete twakutibhwai kuamini, tubakilai khela.
25 But concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give knowledge, as one having obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.
Henu, bhala bhoa ambabho bhabhabelili kugega kamwe, nujihe ni amri kuhoma kwa Bwana. Lakini nikabhaphela maoni ghangu kama nikiyele kwa huruma sa Bwana, sasiaminika
26 But I consider this to be good on account of the present distress, that it is good for a man so to be.
Henu nifikirila naha kwa ndabha ya usumbufu, ni kinofu ngosi abakilai kama kayele.
27 Have you been given to a wife? do not seek separation; have you been separated from a wife? do not seek a wife.
Ufungibhu kwa ndala ni kiapo kya ndobho? Kolokulonda uhuru kuhoma henu. Uyele huru kuhoma kwa ndala au ugegekibhu lepi? Ukolokulonda ndala.
28 But if, indeed you may marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin may marry, she has not sinned; but such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you.
Lakini kama ugegeli ufanyili lepi dhambi Na kama ndala agegekibhu lepi agegekibhu, afanyililepi hambi. Bado bhala bhigegana bhikabha masumbufu gha aina mbalimbali. Ninene nilonda nibhaepusyai aghu.
29 But I say this, brethren; that the time is at hand, that moreover indeed those having wives may be as those not having;
Lakini nikabhabhoka naha, mhaja ni ndhombho bhangu mudani ufupi. Tangu henu ni kuyendelela, bhla bhabhayele ni bhadala bhaishyai kama bhayehenabhu.
30 and those weeping, as those not weeping; and those rejoicing, as those not rejoicing; and those buying, as those not possessing;
Bhoa bhabhayele ni huzuni bhakifuanyai kama bhayele bhayelepi ni huzuni, ni bhoa bhabhinuna khenu kyokyokhela, kama bhamiliki hee kyokyokhela.
31 and those using the world, as those not using it thoroughly: for the fashion of this world is passing away.
Na bhoa bhabhishughulika ni ulimwengu, bhayelai kama bhashughuliki lepi nabhu. Kwa ndabha mitindo ya dunia yifikira muishu bhwaki.
32 I wish you to be free from solicitude. The unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, in order that he may please the Lord:
Nilonda muyelai huru kwa masumbufu ghoa, ngosi yabelili kugega akajihusisha ni henu fafikamhusu Bwana, namna ya kumpendesya muene.
33 but the one having married cares for the things of the world, in order that he may please his wife.
Lakini ngosi yagegili kajihusisha ni mambo gha dunia, namna ya kumpendesya mdalamunu,
34 A wife and a virgin truly also differ: the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but she having married cares for the things of the world, that she may please her husband.
agawanyiki ndala yabelili kugegekibhwa au bikira kajihusisha ni fhenu kuhusu Bwana, namna ya kujitenga katika mbhelhe ni mu roho. Lakini ndala yagegekibhu kajihusisha ni fhenu dunia, namna ya kumfurahisya ngosi munu.
35 I speak this for the profit of you yourselves; not that I may cast a burden upon you, but for that which is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord without perturbation.
Nijobha naha kwa faia ya yhomo mwayhomo, na mbhekalepi nteghu kwayhomo. Nijobha naha kwa khela ni haki, ili kwamba mwibhuesya kwibheka wakfu kwa Bwana bila kikwazo kyokyokhela.
36 But if any one considers that he is acting indiscreetly towards his virgin, if she may be marriageable, and thus it ought so to be, let him do what he wishes; he does not sin; let them marry.
Lakini kama munu ifikirila ibhuesyalepi kuntendela kwa heshima mwana wali bha muene, kwa ndabha ya hisia sa muene sejele ni nghofho sana, lekai ageganai ni muene kama kaganili. Siyo dhambi.
37 But whosoever stands firm in his heart, having no necessity, and has the right according to his own will, and has determined this in his heart, to keep his virgin, will do well.
Lakini kama afuanyili maamuzi ghakutokugega, na kuyelepi haja ya lazima, na kama ibhuesya kutawala hamu ya muene ilokufuanya kinofu kama agegilepi.
38 So indeed he that marries his own virgin does well; and he that marries her not will do better.
Henu, ambayi akangega mwanamwali wa muene ifuanya kinofu, na yeywoha yhola ambayi ichagula kutokugega ilokufuanya kinofu zaidi.
39 A wife has been given so long a time as her husband may live; but if her husband may die, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Ndala afungibhu ni ngosi munu wakati ayele hai. Lakini kama ndala kafwai, ayele huru kugegekibhwa ni yuywoha yhola yaaganili, lakini katika Bwana tu.
40 But she is happier if she may so remain, according to my opinion: but I realize that I truly have the Spirit of God.
Nakhona mu maamuzi ghayhoni ilotakuya ni furaha zaidi kama kaiishi kayele. Na nifikirila kuya ninene kabhele niyele ni Roho wa K'yara.
