1 Corinthians 7
1 And concerning the things of which you wrote to me: [it is] good for a man not to touch a woman,
Hanu ku wamana ni ndava zi mu va ñoli: “Kulotu kuti mukwame sanzi akwati mukurwakazi.”
2 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;
Kono vakeñi cha miliko mingi ya vuvuki, zumwi ni zumwi mukwame ave ni mukurwakazi, mi zumwi ni zumwi mukurwakazi ave ni mukwam'a kwe.
3 to the wife let the husband render the due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;
Mukwame u swanela kuha iswanelo zakwe ku mukurwakazi, mi ku ve vulyo ni ku mukurwakazi ku mukwam'a kwe.
4 the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner also, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
Kena kuti mukurwakazi wina mulao ku muvili wakwe, kono mukwame. Mi kuswana vulyo, ku mukwame kena mulao ku muvili wakwe, kono mukurwakazi.
5 Do not defraud one another, except by consent for a time, that you may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that Satan may not tempt you because of your self-indulgence;
Sanzi mu lichengi inwe muvene, kono cha kuzumizana mi che inako iswanela. Mu tende vulyo kuti muve vena inako ya kulapela. Linu mu volisane hamwina hape, ku tendela kuti javulusi sanzi amiliki kuti mwa vula kulisepa.
6 and this I say by way of concurrence—not of command,
Kono ni cho izi zintu kwenu sina muhupulo isinyi cha kulaela.
7 for I wish all men to be even as I myself [am]; but each has his own gift of God, one indeed thus and one thus.
Ni lakaza kuti kambe zumwi ni zumwi u swana sina njeme mu ni kalile. Kono zumwi ni zumwi wina impo yakwe izwa kwa Ireeza. Zumwi wina iyi impo, mi zumwi wina ina.
8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];
Ku va sa sesetwe mi kwi mbelwa ni cho kuti kwina hande kuti ve kale ni va sa sesetwe, sina mu nina.
9 and if they do not have continence—let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
Kono hava kangwa kuli kwata avo veene, va woola ku sesa. Imi kwina hande kuti ve kale ni vantu kunde ya kwi hayiwa intakazo.
10 and to the married I announce—not I, but the LORD—do not let a wife separate from a husband:
Hanu ku va lisesete ni ha uwo mulao- nata ime, kono nji Simwine: Mukurwakazi ka swaneli ku siya mukwam'a kwe.”
11 but, and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled to the husband, and do not let a husband send a wife away.
Kono heva na siya mukwam'a kwe, u swanela kwi kala na sena mukwame kapa vali swalele. Mi” mukwame ka swaneli kukana mwihyavwe.”
12 And to the rest I speak—not the LORD—if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him send her away;
Kono ku voose ni cho- Ime, isinyi Simwine - kuti heva zumwi ya sa mukurwakazi ya sa lumere, mi heva na saka kwi kala ni mukwame, ka swaneli ku swaneli ku kauhana.
13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her send him away;
Heva mukurwakazi wina mukwame asa lumere, mi na tavela kwi kala naye, ka swaneli ku muhindika.
14 for the unbelieving husband has been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
Imi mukwame ya sa lumere u lukulwilwe vakeñi cha mukurwakazi wakwe, mi mukurwakazi ya sa lumere u lukulwilwe vakeñi cha mulikan'a kwe. Kusicwalo vaana venu ni va vavi va sa njolwele, kono aho va lukulwilwe.
15 And if the unbelieving separates himself—let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such [cases], and in peace has God called us;
Kono heva mulikani ya sa lumere u yenda, mu siye a yende. Mwinzila zina vulyo, mulikani wa mukwame kapa wa mukurwakazi kena u su minwe ku mulao. Ireeza ava tusupi kuti tuhale mwi konzo.
16 for what, have you known, O wife, whether you will save the husband? Or what, have you known, O husband, whether you will save the wife?
Imi ka mwi zive vule, mukurwakazi, kapa ka mu puluse va kwame venu? Kapa ka mwi zive vule, mukwame, kapa ka muhaze va kurwakazi venu?
17 If not, as God distributed to each, as the LORD has called each—so let him walk; and thus I direct in all the assemblies:
Konji ku siya vulyo kuti muhale vuhalo uvo Simwine ava tuhi, ku zumwi uvo Ireeza ava supili. Nji mulao wangu ku kereke zonse.
18 being circumcised—was anyone called? Do not let him become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was anyone called? Do not let him be circumcised;
Kana kwina ya va nyi kumupato ha sumpwa kuti a lumere? Kana kwina zumwi ya sena avali kwina mu mupato ha sumpwa kwi tumelo? Sanzi a pangwa mupato.
19 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God.
Imi kena kuti konji heva wina mupato kapa ku sa va ni mupato nji vileza. Kono chi sakahala kwi chilila milao ya Ireeza.
20 Each in the calling in which he was called—in this let him remain;
Zumwi ni zumwi u swanela ku va mu mayemo avali kwina pili na seni ku lumera.
21 a servant—were you called? Do not be anxious; but if also you are able to become free—use [it] rather;
Kena uvali u muhikane Ireeza cho kusupa? Sanzi u vileli ku wamana nezo. Kono heva no wola ku va yo sumunikite, u hinde vulotu vwa teni.
22 for he who [is] in the LORD—having been called a servant—is the LORD’s freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:
Mi zumwi cho sumpwa cha Simwine ku va muhikana u lukulwilwe cha Simwine. Kwina vulyo sina zumwi yo lukuluhite cho sumpwa ku ku lumera vuhikana vwa Kreste.
23 you were bought with a price, do not become servants of men;
Mu va wulwa che ngulo, cwale sanzi muvi vahikana vwa vakwame.
24 each, in that in which he was called, brothers, in this let him remain with God.
Vakwangu, ni ha mu va mu vuhalo vumwi vu muvahiti kuvuli ni museni ku lumera, mu siye twikale vulyo.
25 And concerning the virgins, I do not have a command of the LORD; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the LORD to be faithful.
Hanu kuamana navo vaseni kuseswa, kanina intaelo ya Simwine. Kono ni hitisa maikuto angu, ka chi shemo cha Simwine, chi sepahale.
26 I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter be thus:
Linu, ni hupula kuti ivaka lya vukavo vukaza, kulotu kuti muntu ekale vo vulyo mwekalile.
27 Have you been bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed; have you been loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
Musu mininwe ku mukurwakazi? sanzi usaki ku sumununwa kwali. Kolisumine ku mukurwakazi? Sanzi ugani mukurwakazi.
28 But, and if you may marry, you did not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such will have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you.
Kono niho sesa, ko tendi chivi. Mi haiva mukurwakazi yasa sesetwe na seswa, kana tenda chivi. Kono avova sesa muvave ni manyando mangi mu vuhalo, ni saka ku mi kauhanya kuzili.
29 And this I say, brothers, the time from now on is having been shortened—that both those having wives may be as not having;
Kono izi ni wamba, vakwangu: Inako infuhi. kuzwa hanu, misiye avo
30 and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;
vena vakurwakazi va ve uvu kavena. Avo valila va ve uvu kavalili, mi avo va tavite vave uvu kava tavite, mi avo va wula zintu vave uvu vasa kwete zintu.
31 and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for the [present] form of this world is passing away.
Mi avo vasevelisa ze inkanda vave uvu kava zili tusisi, kakuti mukwa weyi inkanda kusike hakumana.
32 And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the LORD, how he will please the LORD;
Ni tavela kuti mu lukuluhe kwi tongosi. Vantu va sa sesete vena chiseho ku wamana ni zintu za Simwine, mu va swanela ku mu lumbeka.
33 and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he will please the wife.
Kono va kwame va sesete avo vena chiseho ya ku tavisa va kurwakazi va vo-
34 The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the LORD, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she will please the husband.
u kauhene. Va sa sesetwe va kurwakazi kapa va lyanjo va vilela ku wamana ni zintu za Simwine, mu va swanela ku njololeza mivili ya vo mi mu luhuho. Kono va kurwakazi va sesetwe vena hulu mu ku vilezwa za va kwame vavo mu va swanela ku va taviseza.
35 And this I say for your own profit: not that I may cast a noose on you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the LORD, undistractedly,
Ni wamba izi ku tendela kuti mu wane chimwi, mi isinyi ku mi vika mu mulandu. Ni wamba izi imi nji shiyeme, kutendela kuti mu ve va yemukite Kwa Simwine ni ku sena nangati ku sitatala.
36 and if anyone thinks [it] to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought to be so, what he wills let him do; he does not sin—let him marry.
Kono heva zumwi na hupula kuti katendi hande mulikan'a kwe che kute - heva na hitilile zilimo zakwe za maseso mi ku woleka kuva vulyo- u wola kupanga mwa sakila. kena kuti utenda chivi. Va swanela ku sesa.
37 And he does well who has stood steadfast in the heart—not having necessity—and has authority over his own will, and he has determined this in his heart—to keep his own virgin;
Kono heva ni va zimene cha kukola mwi kulo zavo, heva na sa chukumiswe kono na wola kuliyeleza muhupulo wakwe, mi heva ava hindi muhato mwi kulo ya kwe wa ku tenda vulyo, ku vikila mulikan'a kwe muvili wa kwe, mwa tende hande.
38 so that both he who is giving in marriage does well, and he who is not giving in marriage does better.
Cwale uzo zumwi yo sesa mulikan'a u panga hande, mi uzo zumwi yo liketela ku sa sesa upanga hande mane ni kuhita.
39 A wife has been bound by law [for] as long [a] time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will—only in the LORD;
Mukurwakazi u suminwe ku mukwam'a kwe kutwala ma manimani avuhalo vwakwe. Kono heva mukwam'a kwe cha fwa, u lukuluhite ku sesa, kono konji cha Simwine.
40 and she is happier if she may so remain—according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
Imi cha mulao wangu mwa wole ku sanga heva ne kale mwena. Mi Ni hupula kuti na me ni na Luhuho lwa Ireeza
