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.
Hinu tilola mambu gala gamwaniyandili, chabwina mgosi akotoka kugega.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Nambu ndava ya kuyepa ukemi, ndi kila mgosi avyai na mdala waki mwene, na kila mdala avyai na mgosi waki mwene.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
Mgosi amuhengelayi mdala waki chayiganikiwa, na mdala amuhengelayi mgosi waki chayiganikiwa.
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.
Mdala kawaka uhotola ndava ya higa yaki mwene, nambu avili nawu mgosi waki, mewawa mgosi kawaka uhotola ndava ya higa yaki mwene, nambu mdala waki avili nawu.
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.
Mkoto kunyimana, nambu ngati muyelewini kukita chenicho kwa lukumbi luhupi ndu, ndi mupatayi nafwasi yabwina ya kumuyupa Chapanga. Ndi muwuyilanayi kavili, Setani akotoka kuvalinga ndava muhotola lepi kudivalila mitima hinu.
6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
Malovi aga genikuvajovela malagizu lepi, nambu ndi nivalekekisi muhotola kuhagula.
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.
Chakaka, niganili vandu voha vavyai ngati nene, nambu kila mundu apewili njombi yaki mwene na Chapanga, yungi njombi iyi na yungi yila.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
Hinu, kwa vala vangagega na vala valipwela, nikuvajovela kuvya chabwina kuyendelela kutama vene ngati nene.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Nambu ngati mundu ihotola lepi kujidivalila. Chabwina mundu uyo agega kuliku kuvya na mnogo.
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
Kwa vala vevagegili niwusa mhilu uwu, lepi ya nene ndi kuhuma kwa BAMBU Chapanga. Mdala iganikiwa lepi kulekana na mgosi waki.
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.
Ndi ngati alekini nayu, ndi asigalila changali kugegewa, ngati naha lepi, vamtepulanisa na mgosi waki. Na mgosi akotoka kumleka mdala waki.
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.
Kwa vangi, Nijova nene lepi BAMBU Ngati mgosi msadika ana mdala mwangasadiki, na mdala mwenuyo ayidikili kutama nayu, na mgosi mwenuyo akoto kumleka mdala waki.
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.
Na ngati mdala mweisadika ana mgosi mwanga sadika, na mgosi mwenuyo akayidakila kutama nayu, ndi akotoka kumleka mgosi waki.
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.
Muni mgosi mwenuyo mwangasadika iyidikiliwa na Chapanga kwa kuwungana na mdala waki, na mdala uyo mwangasadika iyidikiwa na Chapanga kwa kuwungana na mgosi waki. Ngati ngayikotoka kuvya naha vana vavi ngavavi ngati vana va vandu vangammaya Chapanga, nambu hinu ndi vana va Chapanga.
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.
Nambu ngati mwangasadika igana kumuleka muyaki mwaisadika, ndi amuleka ndu. Penapo mgosi amala mdala mwaisadika yati ivya hulu. Muni Chapanga avakemili mutama kwa uteke.
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?
Veve mdala mwausadika, umanya wuli ngati kuvya ukumsangula mgosi waku? Amala veve mgosi mwausadika umanya wuli ngati kuvya ukumsangula mdala waku?
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.
Kila mundu ayendelela kutama muwumi weapewili na BAMBU ngati cheatamayi pala peakemeliwi na Chapanga, chenichi ndi chanikuvajovela vandu voha kwa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu woha.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
Ngati mundu akemeliwi kuni adumwili jandu, ndi akotoka kukupakisa kuvya adumwili lepi jandu, na ngati pakemeliwi avili akona kudumula jandu, ndi akotoka kudumula.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Muni, kudumula jandu amala changasindimala jandu chindu lepi, chechiganikiwa kuyidakila mihilu ya Chapanga.
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
Hinu, kila mundu avyai ngati cheavili peakemeliwi Chapanga.
21 Are you called being a servant? care not for it: but if you may be made free, use it rather.
Wu, veve wavili wamvanda pewakemeliwi na Chapanga? Koto kuyoma, nambu ngati ukapatayi fwasi ya kuvya waka kita chenicho.
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.
Muni mwene mwakemeliwi na BAMBU kuni avili mvanda, mwenuyo ndi ilekeswa kwa BAMBU. Mewawa mwakemeliwi kuni alekiswi, ndi ivya mvanda wa Kilisitu.
23 All of you are bought with a price; be not all of you the servants of men.
Voha muguliwi kwa mashonga gamahele, ndi mkoto kuvya vavanda va vandu.
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
Valongo vangu, kila mmonga winu atamayi wumi wulawula ngati cheakemeliwi, muni Chapanga avi pamonga na nyenye.
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.
Hinu, kugavala gala gemwaniyandikili ndava ya vasongolo vangagega na vasikana vangagegewa kawaka malagizu kuhuma kwa BAMBU, nambu nikuvapela maholo gangu kwa lipyana la BAMBU niganikiwa kusadikiwa.
26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
Ndi, ndava ya mang'ahiso ga magono aga, hinu chabwina mundu asigalila ngati cheavi.
27 Are you bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
Wu, ugegili mdala? Hinu koto kulekana na mdala waku. Wakona wangagega? Ndi ukoto kugega.
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.
Nambu ngati ukagegayi ukumbudila lepi Chapanga, kamwali akagegewayi akumbudila lepi Chapanga. Vevigegana yati ving'ahika muwumi wavi, nambu nene nigana ng'ani yikoto kuvakolela nyenye.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remains, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
Valongo vangu, lukumbi lwalusigalili ndi luhupi: Kutumbula lelu vala vevagegili vatamayi ngati vagegili lepi,
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;
Vevivemba vavyai ngati vivemba lepi, veviheka vavyai ngati nakuheka, vevigula vavyai ngati kawaka chindu,
31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passes away.
vevavi hengela vindu vya mulima uwu vavyai ngati vakuhihengela lepi. Muni mulima uwu uvi papipi kupita.
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:
Nigana nyenye mukoto kuvya na wogohi. Mundu angagega mdala mwene igana kuhenga lihengu la BAMBU muni ilinga kumganisa BAMBU.
33 But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
Nambu mgosi mweagegili ilola neju mambu ga mulima, kulonda kumganisa mdala waki,
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.
ndi akujibagula mwene chihiga na chimpungu. Mdala mwangagegewa ing'ahika na mambu ga BAMBU ndi awusayi higa na mpungu waki kwa BAMBU. Nambu mdala mwagegiwi ing'ahika na mambu ga mulima ndava ya kumganisa mgosi waki.
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.
Nikuvajovela genaga kwa chiyonjokesu chinu, lepi kuvadivalila kwa gala gemugana kuhenga. Nigana muhenga gegiganikiwa, mpata kumuhengela BAMBU kwa mtima woha changali kuhutwa na mambu gangi.
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.
Ngati mundu ilola kuvya akumuhengela lepi chabwina mchumba waki kwa kuhamula kuleka kumugega na lukumbi lupita, kangi mnogu waki nakuuhotola ndi akitayi chaihotola, amugegayi ndu, ivya nakumbudila Chapanga.
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.
Nambu ngati mgosi uyo ahamwili kuhuma mumtima waki changali kung'ang'aniswa kuleka kugega, na ihotola lepi kuyileka minogu yaki, ikita chabwina, kuleka kumgega mdala uyo.
38 So then he that gives her in marriage does well; but he that gives her not in marriage does better.
Mundu mweamwili kugega mdala ikita chabwina, mewa mweangagega mdala ikita chabwina neju.
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.
Mdala mweagegiwi ivya akungiwi na mgosi waki kwa lukumbi lwoha mgosi uyo lwaivya mumi. Nambu ngati mgosi waki afwili, mdala uyo ihotola kugegewa na mundu yoyoha, nambu kwa mgosi mweammanyili BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu.
40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit (pneuma) of God.
Nambu chenihololela nene, mdala yati ivya na luheku neju ngati isigalila changali kugegewa, niholalela nene mewa nina Mpungu wa Chapanga.
