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,
Su, kwa vitwatira vilii vyamunembiriti kuwera, iherepa kwa wantu pawayuga ndiri.
2 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;
Toziya ya uhumba nentu, su kila mpalu kaweri na mdala gwakuwi mweni na kila mdala kaweri na mpalu gwakuwi mweni.
3 to the wife let the husband render the due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;
Mpalu katendi galii gagafiruwa na mdala gwakuwi na mdala katendi galii gagafiruwa na mpalu gwakuwi.
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.
Nshimba ya mdala, yakuwi mweni ndiri, kumbiti ya mpalu gwakuwi. Ntambu iraayi nshimba ya mpalu, yakuwi mweni ndiri, kumbiti ya mdala gwakuwi.
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;
Namuliyimana maweni, kumbiti mpatani kutenda hangu kwa shipindi shididini hera, su muwezi kulikala kwa kumluwa Mlungu, shakapanu muliwuyiri kayi, su Shetani nakiza kuwajera toziya muweza ndiri kulilewelera.
6 and this I say by way of concurrence—not of command,
Aga ganuwagambirani neni na gamalagaliru ndiri.
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.
Neni menfiri wantu woseri waweri gambira neni ntambu yanwera, kumbiti kila yumu kawera na lifupu kulawa kwa Mlungu, yumu kana lifupu ali na yumonga kana lifupu lilii.
8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];
Vinu wantu walii yawayuga ndiri na walii yawawera wakenja nuwagambira hangu iherepa walikali gambira neni ntambu yanwera.
9 and if they do not have continence—let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
Kumbiti muntu pakasinda kulilewelera, su kayugi mdala, mana membaka nentu kuyuga kuliku kuwera na lumatamata.
10 and to the married I announce—not I, but the LORD—do not let a wife separate from a husband:
Kwa wantu yawayugiti na yawayugitwi nankuwapanani malagaliru, ganeni ndiri kumbiti ga Mtuwa, mdala nakalekana na mpalu gwakuwi,
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.
Kumbiti pakalekana nayomberi, kalikali pota na kuyugwa ama kakolaniziwi mawoku na mpalu gwakuwi na mpalu nakamleka mdala gwakuwi.
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;
Kwa wamonga neni nonga, gweka yangu hera na kumbiti Mtuwa ndiri, Payiwera mpalu yakawera na mdala yakamwamini ndiri Yesu na mdala ayu kajimira kulikala na yomberi, nakamleka mdala ayu.
13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her send him away;
Na handa mdala kana mpalu yakamwamini ndiri Yesu na mpalu ayu kajimira kulikala na yomberi, su mdala ayu nakamlema mpalu gwakuwi.
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.
Toziya mpalu ayu yakamjimira ndiri Yesu hakapungwi na Mlungu kwa kulikolerana na mdala gwakuwi na mdala ayu yakamwamini ndiri Yesu hakajimirwi na Mlungu kwa kulikolerana na mpalu gwakuwi. Pamonga wana wawu mewaweri ndiri wa Mlungu, kumbiti vinu wajimirwa kuwera wana wa Mlungu.
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;
Kumbiti payiwera ulii yakamjimira ndiri Kristu pakafira kumleka muyaguwi yakawera Mkristu, su kamleki. Su mpalu ama mdala hakaweri mlekeru. Mlungu kawashemiti mwenga mulikali kwa ponga.
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?
Gwenga mdala, guvimana hashi kuwera gwana unakaka kuwera haguwezi kumlopoziya mpalu gwaku? Ama gwenga mpalu, guvimana hashi kuwera gwana unakaka kuwera haguwezi kumlopoziya mdala gwaku?
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:
Kila muntu kalikali kugenderana na mafupu gakapananitwi na Mtuwa na ntambu yakashemitwi na Mlungu. Ali ndo lilagaliru lyaneni muvipinga vyoseri vya wantu vyawamwamini Yesu.
18 being circumcised—was anyone called? Do not let him become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was anyone called? Do not let him be circumcised;
Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri yakayingiziwitwi kala jandu pakashemitwi na Mlungu? Nakalipayira kuwera kayingiziwitwi ndiri jandu na handa pakashemitwi kawera kayingiziyitwi ndiri jandu, su nakayingiziwa jandu.
19 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God.
Toziya kwingiziwa jandu ama kwingiziwa ndiri jandu shintu ndiri, shintu shikulu ndo kugajimira Malagaliru ga Mlungu.
20 Each in the calling in which he was called—in this let him remain;
Su kila yumu kasigali ntambu pakashemitwi na Mlungu.
21 a servant—were you called? Do not be anxious; but if also you are able to become free—use [it] rather;
Hashi, gwenga guweriti mmanda pagushemitwi na Mlungu? Nagulishera, kumbiti paguwera mlekeru, gutendi hangu.
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:
Toziya yomberi yakashemitwi na Mtuwa pakawera mmanda, muntu ayu hakaweri mlekeru gwa Mtuwa. Ntambu iraayi ulii muntu mlekeru yakashemitwi na Kristu, kawera mmanda gwa Kristu.
23 you were bought with a price, do not become servants of men;
Mlungu kawahemeriti mwenga kwa beyi nkulu, su namuwera kayi wamanda wa wantu.
24 each, in that in which he was called, brothers, in this let him remain with God.
Walongu wayangu, kila yumu gwenu kasigali mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu ntambu yakaweriti pakashemitwi.
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.
Vinu kwa visoweru vya wadala yawawera wali, nahera lilagaliru lya Mtuwa, kumbiti ntakula ntambu yamona neni, kwa lusungu lwa Mtuwa, nstaili kwaminika.
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:
Su, kulawirana na ntabika yaiwera vinu, neni nulihola kuwera iherepa nentu muntu kasigali ntambu yakawera.
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.
Hashi, gwenga guyuga? Su nagulekana na mdala gwaku. Hashi, gwenga guyuga ndiri? Su nagufira kuyuga.
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.
Kumbiti paguyuga gutenda ndiri vidoda na handa mwali pakayugwa katenda ndiri vidoda. Womberi pawayugana hawapati ntabika mumakaliru aga, kumbiti neni menfiri ndiri gawapati aga.
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;
Walongu waneni, nfira kutakula hangu, shipindi shashisigala shididini hera na kwanjira vinu walii yawayuga walikali gambira waliyuga ndiri,
30 and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;
na walii yawalila waweri gambira walira ndiri na walii yawanemelera waweri gambira wanemelera ndiri na walii yawahemera waweri gambira wahera shintu shawahemeliti,
31 and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for the [present] form of this world is passing away.
na walii yawawera na lihengu lya pasipanu, waweri gambira wahera lihengu la pasipanu. Toziya pasipanu ntambu yatupamana, pankupita.
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;
Neni menfiriti mwenga namlishera. Muntu yakahera mdala kankuliholera lihengu lya Mtuwa, toziya yomberi kankujera kumfiriziya Mtuwa.
33 and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he will please the wife.
Kumbiti mpalu yakayugiti kankuliholera lihengu lya pasipanu, su kamfiriziyi mdala gwakuwi,
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.
na yomberi maholu gakuwi galibagula. Mdala yakayugwa ndiri ama yakawera mwali katenda lihengu lya Mtuwa, kapati kuwera mananagala gwa nshimba na rohu. Kumbiti mdala yakayugitwi katendaga lihengu lya pasipanu, su kamfiriziyi mdala gwakuwi.
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,
Nuwagambirani aga toziya nfira kuwatanga mwenga. Neni nfira ndiri kuwapoka ulekelu wenu, kumbiti nfira mwenga mtendi maheri na mulilaviyi maweni kumtendera lihengu lya Mtuwa pota na kukwegwa na vintu vyamonga.
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.
Handa muntu kawona kamtendera weri ndiri mwali yakamfindika pakamuyuga ndiri na handa hapeni kawezi kulikala pota na kuyuga, su katendi ntambu yakafira, yomberi kayugi na hapeni katendi vidoda.
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;
Kumbiti mpalu ayu pakaamuwa mumoyu mwakuwi pota na kuyuga na handa kaweza kuzikolamlima matamata zyakuwi na kwamuwa ntambu ya kutenda, su katenda weri nentu pakamuyuga ndiri mwali ayu.
38 so that both he who is giving in marriage does well, and he who is not giving in marriage does better.
Su mpalu yakayuga katenda hweri, kumbiti ulii yakayugiti ndiri katenda hweri nentu.
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;
Mdala yakayugitwi kakolerana pamuhera na mpalu gwakuwi mushipindi shoseri pamberi pa kuhowa. Kumbiti mpalu gwakuwi pakahowa, mdala ayu kawera mlekeru, na pakafira mweni kaweza kuyugwa na muntu yoseri, kumbiti mpalu ayu kaweri Mkristu.
40 and she is happier if she may so remain—according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
Kumbiti yamona neni, kwa mdala ayu mbaka pakalikala ntambu yakawera. Aga ndo ntambu yanulihola na neni nulihola kuwera nana Rohu gwa Mlungu.
