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,
Waaʼee waan isin naa barreessitan sanaa, namni tokko utuu fuudhuu baatee isaaf gaarii dha.
2 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;
Garuu waan halalummaan jiruuf dhiirri hundi niitii ofii isaa haa qabaatu; dubartiin hundis dhirsa ofii ishee haa qabaattu.
3 to the wife let the husband render the due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;
Dhirsi waan niitii isaatiif malu haa guutuuf; niitiinis akkasuma dhirsa isheetiif haa guuttu.
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.
Niitiin dhagna ofii ishee irratti aangoo hin qabdu; kan aangoo qabu dhirsa. Akkasuma immoo dhirsi dhagna ofii isaa irratti aangoo hin qabu; kan aangoo qabdu niitii dha.
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;
Yoo kadhannaatti jabaachuuf jettanii yeroof itti walii galtan malee wal hin didinaa. Ergasiis akka of qabuu dadhabuu keessaniin Seexanni isin hin qorreef deebiʼaa wajjin jiraadhaa.
6 and this I say by way of concurrence—not of command,
Kanas ani eeyyamaan malee ajajaaf hin dubbadhu.
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.
Ani utuu namni hundumtuu akkuma koo taʼee nan hawwa ture. Garuu namni hundi kennaa ofii isaa kan Waaqni isaaf kenne qaba; inni tokko kennaa tokko, kaan immoo kennaa biraa qaba.
8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];
Ani warra hin fuudhinii fi warra hin heeruminiin, haadhota hiyyeessaatiin illee akkanan jedha: Isaan yoo akkuma koo fuudhaa fi heeruma malee hafan isaaniif wayya.
9 and if they do not have continence—let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
Yoo of qabuu dadhaban garuu haa fuudhan yookaan haa heeruman; hawwiin gubachuu irra fuudhuu yookaan heerumuu wayyaatii.
10 and to the married I announce—not I, but the LORD—do not let a wife separate from a husband:
Warra fuudhanii fi warra heerumaniifis ajajni ani kennu kana: Ajaja kanas Gooftaatu kenna malee ana miti; niitiin dhirsa isheetiin gargar hin baʼin.
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.
Yoo gargar baate garuu utuu hin heerumin haa jiraattu; yoo kanaa achii dhirsa isheetti haa araaramtu. Dhirsis niitii isaa hin hiikin.
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;
Warra hafaniinis ani akkanan jedha: Kana immoo anatu jedha malee Gooftaa miti; obboleessi kam iyyuu yoo niitii amantii hin qabne qabaate, yoo isheenis isa wajjin jiraachuuf fedhii qabaatte, inni ishee hin hiikin.
13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her send him away;
Dubartiin tokkos yoo dhirsa amantii hin qabne qabaatte, yoo innis ishee wajjin jiraachuuf fedhii qabaate, isheen isa hin hiikin.
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.
Dhirsi amantii hin qabne karaa niitii isaatiin qulqulleeffameeraatii; niitiin amantii hin qabnes karaa dhirsa isheetiin qulqulleeffamteertii. Yoo kanaa achii ijoolleen keessan xuraaʼoo taʼu; amma garuu qulqulloota.
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;
Namni amantii hin qabne garuu yoo gargar baʼuu fedhe gargar haa baʼu. Obboleessi tokko yookaan obboleettiin tokko haala akkasii keessatti hin hidhaman; Waaqni akka isin nagaan jiraattaniif isin waameeraatii.
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?
Yaa niitii, ati dhirsa kee ni fayyifta taʼaatii maal beekta? Yookaan yaa dhirsa, ati niitii kee ni fayyifta taʼaatii maal beekta?
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:
Tokkoon tokkoon namaa garuu akkuma jireenya Gooftaan kenneefiitti, akkuma Waaqni isa waamettis haa jiraatu. Waldoota Kiristaanaa hunda keessattis ajajni koo kanuma.
18 being circumcised—was anyone called? Do not let him become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was anyone called? Do not let him be circumcised;
Namni tokko waamamuu isaatiin dura dhagna qabatee ture? Inni nama dhagna hin qabatin taʼuu hin qabu. Namni tokko waamamuu isaatiin dura dhagna hin qabannee? Inni dhagna hin qabatin.
19 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God.
Ajaja Waaqaa eeguutu faayidaa qaba malee dhagna qabachuun yookaan qabachuu baachuun faayidaa hin qabu.
20 Each in the calling in which he was called—in this let him remain;
Tokkoon tokkoon namaa haaluma yeroo Waaqni isa waametti keessa ture keessa haa jiraatu.
21 a servant—were you called? Do not be anxious; but if also you are able to become free—use [it] rather;
Ati yeroo waamamtetti garba turtee? Yoo akkas taʼe inni si hin yaaddessin; yoo bilisa baʼuu dandeesse garuu itti fayyadami.
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:
Namni yeroo Gooftaadhaan waamametti garba ture inni gooftaadhaaf bilisa; akkasuma immoo namni yeroo waamametti bilisa ture inni garbicha Kiristoos.
23 you were bought with a price, do not become servants of men;
Isin gatiidhaan bitamtan; garboota namootaa hin taʼinaa.
24 each, in that in which he was called, brothers, in this let him remain with God.
Yaa obboloota, tokkoon tokkoon namaa haaluma yeroo itti waamametti keessa tureen fuula Waaqaa dura haa jiraatu.
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.
Ani waaʼee dubarran qulqulluu ajaja Gooftaan natti kenne hin qabu; garuu akka nama amanamaa taʼuuf araara Gooftaa argate tokkootti yaada koo nan kenna.
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:
Sababii rakkina ammaatiif jettanii akkuma jirtanitti turuun isiniif gaarii natti fakkaata.
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.
Ati niitiitti hidhamteertaa? Ishee hiikuu hin barbaadin. Ati niitii irraa hiikamteertaa? Niitii hin barbaadin.
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.
Ati garuu yoo fuute cubbuu hojjechuu kee miti; durbis yoo heerumte cubbuu hojjechuu ishee miti. Taʼus addunyaa kana irratti warra fuudhanii fi warra heeruman rakkinatu argata; ani immoo rakkina kana jalaa isin baasuun barbaada.
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;
Yaa obboloota, wanti ani jedhu kana; yeroon murteeffame sun gabaabateera; siʼachi warri niitii qaban akka waan hin qabaatiniitti haa jiraatan;
30 and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;
warri booʼan akka waan hin booʼiniitti, warri gammadan akka waan hin gammadiniitti, warri waa bitatan akka waan wanni bitatan sun kan isaanii hin taʼiniitti,
31 and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for the [present] form of this world is passing away.
warri waan addunyaa kanaatti fayyadamanis akka waan itti hin fayyadaminiitti haa hedan. Bifti addunyaa kanaa ni badaatii.
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;
Ani akka isin yaaddoo malee jiraattan nan hawwa. Namni hin fuudhin tokko Gooftaa gammachiisuuf dhimma Gooftaatti dhimma.
33 and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he will please the wife.
Namni fuudhe garuu niitii isaa gammachiisuuf dhimma addunyaatti dhimma;
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.
fedhiin isaas gargar qoodameera. Dubartiin hin heerumin yookaan durbi qulqulluun dhagnaa fi hafuuraan qulqulluu taʼuuf dhimma Gooftaatti dhimmiti. Dubartiin heerumte garuu dhirsa ishee gammachiisuuf dhimma addunyaatti dhimmiti.
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,
Kana jechuun koos isin fayyaduuf malee kiyyootti isin galchuuf miti; qooda kanaa akka isin yaada gargar hin hiraminiin karaa qajeelaa irra Gooftaaf jiraattan nan hawwa.
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.
Namni kam iyyuu yoo durba kaadhimate sirriitti qabuu baate, yoo umuriin ishee dabalaa deemee innis akka ishee fuudhuu qabu yaade, akkuma fedhii isaa haa godhu. Inni cubbuu hojjechuu isaa miti. Isaan wal fuudhuu qabu.
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;
Garuu namni waan kana yaada ofii isaatiin murteesse, kan dirqama tokko illee jala hin jirree fedhii ofii isaa moʼachuu dandaʼu, kan akka durba sana hin fuune murteeffate, innis waan qajeelaa hojjete.
38 so that both he who is giving in marriage does well, and he who is not giving in marriage does better.
Kanaafuu namni durba fuudhu waan qajeelaa hojjete; kan ishee fuudhuu dhiise immoo caalaa waan qajeelaa hojjete.
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;
Dubartiin tokko hamma dhirsi ishee jirutti isatti hidhamteerti. Yoo dhirsi ishee duʼe garuu isheen abbaa barbaaddetti heerumuuf bilisa; garuu inni nama Gooftaa taʼuu qaba.
40 and she is happier if she may so remain—according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
Akka yaada kootti garuu isheen yoo utuu hin heerumin hafte caalaa gammaddi; anis Hafuura Waaqaa of keessaa nan qaba jedheen yaada.
