1 Corinthians 7
1 NOW with regard to those things concerning which ye have written unto me, it were good for a man not to touch a woman.
Nene ubellen nimon ulenge na iwa nyertu udak kiti nig: abu duku na caun na nnit, na awa nno nin nwani me ba.
2 But because of the whoredoms, let every man have his own wife, and every wife her own husband.
Vat nani barra idumuzunu nadu nzina, ko uyeme unit yita nin nwani litime, ko uyeme uwani yita nin nles litimee.
3 Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband.
Ame ules ba ni uwani me ule imon na ikifo anighe uwani tutun udu kiti nles me.
4 The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not power over his own body, but the wife.
Na uwani dinin likara kitine kidowo me ba, ulesse re, nanere ulese dinin likara kitene kidowo me ba, ame uwane re.
5 Defraud not one another, except it may be by consent occasionally, that ye may have more leisure for fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempt you through your incontinence.
Na iwa nazuzu atimine ni linonin kiti kirumba mine se nin yinnu mine nin kubi ko na anun nfere, bara inann nå atimine kiti nliran, ikuru, ida munun tutuun, bara shetan wa dumun muna nin salin nkifu natimine.
6 But in this I speak my opinion only, not authoritatively.
Meng bellu munu ule imone uyinuari na ita munu kuwa ri ba.
7 For I would that all men were even as myself: but every man hath his peculiar gift from God, one of this sort, and another of that.
Usu nighere nworo kogha wa nafo na meng di bara kogha dinin ume udadiuwe kiti Kutellẹ. Umon uleli, umon ulele.
8 I say then to the unmarried and the widows, that it is becoming them if they abide as I am.
Kiti nale na isa su ilugma ba, nin nawani allenge na ales mine na kuzu, meng belle ucaun kitimine iso sa ilugma nafo meng.
9 But if they have not the gift of continence, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Andi na iwasa nani isu llugma nin nworo ijuju zu ninlip.
10 But to the married not I command, but the Lord, That the wife be not separated from the husband:
Nene udu kiti na nan nilugma, meng na munu uduka-na miari ba ame Cikilar: “Na uwani nwa molu ilugma nin nles ma na.”
11 and even if she should be separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
Bara asa molo nin nlese, na aso sa ilugma, andi na nani ba, kpilla kiti nlese, “Na ules nwa ko uwani me ba.”
12 But to the others I speak, not the Lord, If any brother hath a wife unbelieving, yet she chuseth to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
Nin nani kagisine nbelle (miari na Ciikilari ari ba) nworo asa nkan gwana dinin nwani una nsalin nyinnu sa uyenu amini din lanzu nmang lisosine ninghe, na awa koghe ba.
13 And the wife which hath a husband not a believer, and he chuses to dwell with her, let her not put him away.
Nanere asa uwani dinin nles una nsali nyinnu, sa uyenu amini din lanzu nmang lisosin ninghe, yenje awa molu ilugma.
14 For the husband that believeth not is sanctified by the wife, and the wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband: else indeed your children were unclean, but now are they holy.
Bara ules una nsalin nyinnu abaa se useru bara uwane unan yinnu sa uyenu nanere wang uwani bara ules me unan yinnu, an na nanii ba nono mine wadi anan dinon kidegen iba seru nani.
15 But if the unbelieving person depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in these cases, but God hath called us unto peace.
Asa unan durtu Kutellẹ sosin ligowe nin nan salin dortu Kutellẹ, nworo na iba so ligowe ba, na iwutun, nan nya imus nilele gwana kilime sa kishono alkawali ntereghe ba, Kutellẹ na yyicila nari tiso top.
16 For how knowest thou, O wife, but thou shalt save thy husband? and how knowest thou, O husband, but thou shalt save thy wife?
Bara iziyari fe ba yinnu, uwani, sa fere ba utucun nles fe? ulles uyir, sa fere ba utucun nwanife?
17 Nevertheless as God has bestowed the gift on every man as the Lord hath called every man, so let him walk, and so I give command in all the churches.
Cas na kogha su lisosin lo na Cikilari na kosu nani mun, ulenge na Kutellẹ na yicila nnani mun, ulelere uduka nighe nanya natie nlira vat.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not affect uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
I wa yicila umon nin kalu kucuru nanya iyinnu sa uyena? Na awa kala kullap kucure ba kubi ko na iwa yicila umon sa udiru nkalu kucuru nan nya yinnu sa uyena? Iwa awa kala ghe kucure ba.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the observance of the commandments of God.
Na ukallu sa usalin kallu kucuru unere imomon ba, ule imon na idi suwe inere udortu nduka Kutellẹ.
20 Let every one abide in the calling in which he is called.
Na ko gha so nan nya nyicilu me na Kutellẹ wa yicila ghe ada yinin.
21 Art thou called being a slave? let it give thee no concern; but if thou canst also obtain thy freedom, rather make use of it.
Uwa di kucina kubi ko na Kutellẹ wa yicila fia? Na uwa dama kitene ba, bara unan uso töp su nanni.
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord’s freed man: in like manner also, he that is called, being a free man, is the servant of Christ.
Bara ulle na Cikilari na yicilaghe nafo kucin, Cikilari na bunku ghe, nanere ulle na ina bunku ghe kubi na iwa yicilaghe ayinin a uyinu ame kucin Kristi.
23 Have you been redeemed with a price? become not the slaves of men.
Iwa seru munu nin tamani, na iwa lawa acin nannit ba.
24 Let every one, brethren, in the vocation wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
Nuwana nilime nan nishono, ko iyaghari na nan nya ko lome iwa di nanye, iwa yicila nari tiyinin na ti so nani.
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I offer my opinion, as having obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.
Nene kiti na allenge na isa su ilugma ba, na ndinin nduka unuzu nCikilari ba, Meng nna ukpilizu nigh nafo umon ulle na, Cikilari na Lanza nkunekune nigh, amini na yinin nin mie.
26 I think then that this is becoming, considering our present straits, that it is proper for a man to be thus.
Bara nani, Meng di nkpizilu bara uniu nbun ucaun unit so inda na adi.
27 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
Uterin kiti nwani bara islin nilugma? Na uwa piziru ubunke, kiti ni nin ba. Yenje una bunku ilugma inani sosin sa ilugma? Na uwa piziru uwani ba.
28 But if thou shouldst marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned; though such will have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.
Uwa usu ulugma, na usu kulapi ba, asa uwani nsali nilugma, nsu ilugma, na ata kulapi ba, vat alle na isu ilugma iba yitu nin fizu nayi gbardang. Ndinin su nkosu munu nanghinu.
29 Now this I say, brethren, that the time is short. The conclusion is, that even they who have wives, should be as though they had not;
Bara nanii meng belle, nwana nilime nan nishomo, (Kubi Karin ba. Uyiru nene udu nbun alle na idinin nawani na iso nafo na idumun ba.
30 and they who weep as though they wept not; and they who rejoice as though they rejoiced not; and they that purchase as though they possessed not;
Allenge na idi kuculu ba.) Anan liburi libo, na isu nafo na idi nin liburi libo ba, allenge na isere ko iyang, so nafo na anan nimon nacara ba.
31 and they who use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
Allenghe na idi lanzu mang nye, na iso nafo nna allenge na idi lanzu nmang ba, bara ucin nye ba dak ligan.
32 But I would have you to be free from anxiety. He who is unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord:
Meng dinin su ishutu nan nya nsali noku kibinai, gankilime una nsali nilugma, din cizu kibinai me kiti nCikilari a póghe ayi.
33 but he who is married is anxious about the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.
Unit anan nilugma din cisu nibinai kiti nimon nnyi aba tiyiziya apo awani mi kibinai.
34 A wife and a virgin hath different pursuits: the unmarried woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.
Ame nkoso, nanere tutun unit unan sali nilugma, sa kuburu ita nibinai nimon nCikilari, inda na iba so lau nan nya nidowo nan nruhu, ame uwani nilugma din ti kibinai nimon nnyi, ules lanza nmang me.
35 Now I say this for your own advantage, and not that I should lay a snare in your way, but as what is seemly, and that you may wait on the Lord without distraction.
Nna bellin munu ilele bara atiminere, a na ntimunu libarda ba, bara imon icine, inan nna atimine kiti Ncikilari sa ukosu kibinai.
36 But if a person supposes it would be unseemly for a virgin of his if she should pass the flower of her age in celibacy, and that duty directs it should be so, let him do as he is inclined, he doth not sin: let such marry.
Asa umon din kpilizu na adi su gegeme kiti nle na ibasu ilugma ba, a ame kubure nyenju akus me din nkatuzu, bara ntok nayi me dinin likara na isu ilugma, na kulapi ari ba.
37 But he that is stedfast in his heart, not having any necessity, but retaineth power over his own inclination, and hath determined this in his heart that he will preserve his own virgin state, doeth well.
Awa yiru kibinai me na abasu ilugma ba, na ubellen doli duku ba, aasa akifo ntok litime abasu gegeme, an di na asu ilugma ghe ba.
38 Wherefore though he who giveth in marriage doeth well, yet he who avoids a matrimonial connection, doeth better.
Ulenge na asu lugma nin kubura me asu gegeme, ame ulle na afere na aba su Uugma ba, nani katin.
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth: but if her husband be dead, she is free to be married to whomsoever she will, but only in the Lord.
Uwani terin kiti nles me vat nayiri lisosin mine, asa ulese nku, ibunku ghe, asu imon ilugma, ulle na kibinai me inyinna isu ilugma, vat nin nani nanya nCikilari cas.
40 But she is more blessed if she abide as she is, in my opinion: and I think I have the spirit of God.
Nanya nnag ushara aba se liburi libo, awa so nafo na lisosin me adi, Meng din kpilizu ndinin Ruhu ulau Kutellẹ.
