1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things whereof all of you wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Kaakano ku bintu bye mwampandiikira, kirungi omusajja obutakwatanga ku mukazi.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Naye olw’ebikolwa eby’obwenzi, buli musajja abeerenga ne mukazi we; era na buli mukazi abeerenga ne bba.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
Omusajja ateekwa okutuukirizanga eby’obufumbo byonna eri mukazi we era n’omukazi bw’atyo.
4 The wife has not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not power of his own body, but the wife.
Kubanga omukazi bw’afumbirwa aba takyafuga mubiri gwe ye wabula bba, era n’omusajja bw’atyo aba takyafuga mubiri gwe ye wabula mukazi we y’aba agulinako obuyinza.
5 Defraud all of you not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that all of you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Buli omu alemenga okumma munne wabula nga mulagaanye ekiseera mulyoke mufune ebbanga ery’okusabiramu n’oluvannyuma muddiŋŋanenga, Setaani aleme okubasuula olw’obuteefuga bwammwe.
6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
Naye kino nkyogera mu ngeri ya kukkiriziganya so si mu ngeri ya kuwa kiragiro.
7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man has his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
Nandyagadde buli omu abeere nga nze; naye buli muntu alina ekirabo ekikye ku bubwe ekiva eri Katonda, omu mu ngeri emu n’omulala mu ngeri endala.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
Naye njogera eri abo abatannawasa ne bannamwandu; kirungi okusigala nga bwe bali, era nga nze bwe ndi.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Naye bwe baba tebasobola kwefuga bafumbirwe, oba bawase, kubanga okufumbiriganwa kisinga okwakiriranga okw’okwegomba.
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
Naye abafumbo mbawa etteeka eriva eri Mukama waffe: omukazi tanobanga ku bba.
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
Singa baawukana, omukazi ateekwa kubeerera awo, oba si ekyo addeyo ewa bba basonyiwagane; n’omusajja tagobanga mukazi we.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother has a wife that believes not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
Abalala njogera gye bali kubanga si tteeka eriva eri Mukama waffe, naye mbagamba nti owooluganda bw’abeera n’omukazi atali mukkiriza ng’ayagala okubeera naye, tamugobanga.
13 And the woman which has an husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
Era omukazi omukkiriza alina bba atali mukkiriza naye ng’amwagala, tamuvangako.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Kubanga omusajja atali mukkiriza ayinza okufuulibwa omukkiriza ng’ayambibwa mukyala we omukkiriza, oba omukyala atali mukkiriza ayinza okufuulibwa omukkiriza ng’ayambibwa bba omukkiriza. Kubanga bwe kitaba ekyo abaana bammwe banditwaliddwa ng’abatali balongoofu naye ku lw’ekyo abaana bammwe baba balongoofu.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God has called us to peace.
Kyokka oyo atali mukkiriza bw’ayagala okwawukana, baawukane; mu nsonga eyo omusajja omukkiriza oba omukyala taasibwenga mu ekyo, kubanga Katonda ayagala abaana be okubeera n’eddembe.
16 For what know you, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? or how know you, O man, whether you shall save your wife?
Ggwe omukazi omukkiriza omanyi otya ng’olirokola balo? Oba ggwe omusajja omukkiriza omanyi otya ng’olirokola mukazi wo?
17 But as God has distributed to every man, as the Lord has called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
Buli omu abeere mu bulamu Mukama bwe yamuwa, era Katonda mwe yamuyitira mw’abatambuliranga. Ekyo ky’ekiragiro kye mpa ekkanisa zonna.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
Eyayitibwa ng’amaze okukomolebwa aleme kugamba nti ssinga teyakomolebwa, n’oyo eyakkiriza nga si mukomole aleme kufaayo ku kukomolebwa.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Kubanga okukomolebwa si kintu era obutakomolebwa si kintu, wabula ekikulu kwe kukwata amateeka ga Katonda.
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
Buli omu abeerenga mu kuyitibwa Katonda kwe yamuyitiramu.
21 Are you called being a servant? care not for it: but if you may be made free, use it rather.
Oba nga wayitibwa ng’oli muddu ekyo kireme okuba ekikulu; naye bw’oba ng’ofunye omukisa okufuuka ow’eddembe, gukozese.
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
Kubanga eyayitibwa Mukama nga muddu, Mukama yamufuula wa ddembe, n’oyo eyali ow’eddembe yafuuka muddu wa Kristo.
23 All of you are bought with a price; be not all of you the servants of men.
Mwagulibwa na muwendo noolwekyo temufuukanga baddu ba bantu.
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
Kale abooluganda, buli kifo kyonna omuntu yenna ky’alimu, mwe yayitirwa abeere mu ekyo.
25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
Naye ku ky’abatafumbirwanga wadde okuwasa, sirina kiragiro kiva eri Mukama wabula Mukama mu kusaasira kwe yampa amagezi agayinza okwesigibwa kwe nnaasinziira okubawa ekirowoozo kyange.
26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
Kino nkirowooza nga kirungi, olw’embeera eya kaakano, nga kirungi omuntu okusigala nga bw’ali.
27 Are you bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
Obanga oli mufumbo tosaanye kwawukana na munno. Naye obanga wayawukana n’omukazi, tonoonya wa kuwasa.
28 But and if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
Kyokka omusajja bw’awasa aba tayonoonye, era n’embeerera bw’afumbirwa naye aba tayonoonye. Wabula abafumbo, obufumbo bujja kubaleetera emitawaana gye nandiyagadde mwewale.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remains, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
Naye kino kye mbategeeza abooluganda nti ekiseera kiyimpawadde. Noolwekyo abo abalina abakazi babe ng’abatabalina.
30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
N’abo abakaaba babe ng’abatakaaba, n’abo abasanyuka babe ng’abatasanyuka. N’abo abagula ebintu babe ng’abatalina kintu kye bayita kyabwe.
31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passes away.
Era n’abo abakozesa eby’oku nsi kuno bireme okubamalamu ennyo, kubanga ensi eya kaakano eggwaawo.
32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
Naye kye mbagaliza mmwe bwe buteraliikirira. Omusajja atali mufumbo yeemalira ku bya Mukama, engeri gy’asanyusa Mukama.
33 But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
Naye omufumbo yeeraliikirira bya nsi, nga bw’anaasanyusa mukazi we;
34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: (pneuma) but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
aba yeesazeemu, ng’atta aga n’aga. N’omukazi atali mufumbo n’embeerera bafaayo ku bintu bya Mukama, babeerenga batukuvu mu mubiri ne mu mwoyo. Naye omukazi omufumbo yeeraliikirira bya mu nsi, engeri gy’anaasanyusaamu bba.
35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that all of you may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
Bino mbyogera olw’okubagasa, so si kubaziyiza kuwasa na kufumbirwa. Kubanga njagala musobole okuweereza Mukama nga tewali birala bibaziyiza okweweerayo ddala.
36 But if any man think that he behaves himself indecent toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sins not: let them marry.
Omusajja bw’alowooza nti aba teyeeyisizza bulungi eri omuwala oyo gw’ayogereza bw’atamuwasa, bwe bafumbiriganwa, aba tayonoonye.
37 Nevertheless he that stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, does well.
Naye oyo asobola okwefuga ng’alina omutima omunywevu, n’asalawo awatali kuwalirizibwa nti omuwala tajja kumuwasa, aba asazeewo bulungi.
38 So then he that gives her in marriage does well; but he that gives her not in marriage does better.
Kale oyo awasa omuwala gw’ayogereza aba akoze bulungi, naye oyo atamuwasa y’aba asinze okukola obulungi.
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Omukazi omufumbo abeera kitundu kya bba, bba bw’aba akyali mulamu. Naye bba bw’afa olwo ayinza okufumbirwa omusajja omulala gw’ayagala, kyokka omusajja oyo ateekwa kuba mu Mukama waffe yekka.
40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit (pneuma) of God.
Naye nze ndowooza nti alina omukisa oyo singa taddayo kufumbirwa. Era ndowooza nga nange nnina Omwoyo wa Katonda.
