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,
Mu diambu di mambu ma lusonika mu nkandꞌeno “didi diambu dimboti kuidi bakala mu bika simba nketo”.
2 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;
Vayi mu diambu di tina kitsuza, bika kadika bakala kaba ayi nketo andi ayi kadika nketo kaba ayi bakala diandi.
3 to the wife let the husband render the due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;
Bika bakala kavangila nketo andi mamo ma kafueti kumvangila ayi nketo mamvandi bobuawu kafueti vangila bakala diandi.
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.
Bila nitu yi nketo yisiedi yandi ko; yidi mu diambu di bakala diandi. Bobuawu nitu yi bakala yisiedi yandi ko; yidi mu diambu di nketo andi.
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;
Lubika tinasananga; botula kaka bu luwizani mu kambu bundana mu thangu yi khufi mu diambu di kukiyekula mu lusambulu, bosi luvutuka buela bundana muingi satana kabika kuluvukumuna mu diambu di kambu kueno ku kukiyala.
6 and this I say by way of concurrence—not of command,
Luzaba ti thubidi bobo banga minsua vayi luisi lutumunu ko.
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.
Thidi batu boso baba banga minu, vayi kadika mutu wutambula diandi dikaba di nlemvo kuidi Nzambi: kuidi wunkaka dikaba diadi, kuidi wunkaka dikaba dina.
8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];
Kuidi batu bakambu kuela ayi mafuola bulutidi mboti baba banga minu.
9 and if they do not have continence—let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
Vayi enati balendi nunga ko mu kukiyala, buna mboti bakuela bila bulutidi mboti mu kuela ayi mu banga kadika thangu ku tsi zinzinunu.
10 and to the married I announce—not I, but the LORD—do not let a wife separate from a husband:
Kuidi bakuela ndimvana lutumunu lualu: bika sia ti minu vayi niandi veka Pfumu veni luawu: nketo dikuela kalendi vambana ayi bakala diandi ko.
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.
Vayi enati nketo dikuela beni vambini ayi bakala diandi, buna, nketo wowo kabika buela kuela voti kavutuka wizana ayi bakala diandi. Bobuawu bakala kalendi botula nketo andi ko.
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;
Kuidi bankaka, minu thubidi bika sia ti Pfumu: enati khomba yi bakala widi ayi nketo wukambu wilukila ayi enati nketo beni tidi kuandi zinga yandi buna kabika vambana ayi nketo beni.
13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her send him away;
Bobuawu diaka, enati nketo widi ayi bakala dikambu wilukila ayi enati bakala beni tidi kuandi zinga yandi buna kabika vambana ayi bakala diandi.
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.
Bila bakala dikambu wilukila wukitulu wunlongo mu diambu di nketo andi; ayi nketo wukambu wilukila wukitulu wunlongo mu diambu di bakaladiandi. Bila enati buawu ko buna bana beno bela tangulu bana basumuka. Vayi buabu badi banlongo.
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;
Enati mutu wowo wukambu wilukila, tidi vambana buna wulenda kuandi vambana. Mu nzila yoyo khomba yi bakala voti khomba yi nketo wowo basiedibakangama ko bila Nzambi wututela mu zingilanga mu ndembama.
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?
Bila, mbi zebi ngeyo nketo e? Mananga ngeyo wela vukisa bakala diaku? Voti mbi zebi ngeyo bakala? Mananga ngeyo wela vukisa nketo aku?
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:
Muaki bulutidi mboti kadika mutu kadiatila boso Pfumu kamvanina ayi boso Nzambi kantedila. Bobo buididi lutumunu lu ndieti vana muidi mabundu moso.
18 being circumcised—was anyone called? Do not let him become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was anyone called? Do not let him be circumcised;
Mutu sumbu katelo, wuba wuzengo e? Kabika tomba vutuka mu ba wukambu zengo. Mutu sumbu katelo buna widi wukambu zengo e? Kabika zengoso.
19 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God.
Wuba wuzengo voti wukambu wuzengo disi diambu di mfunu ko. Vayi diambu di lutidi mfunu diawu diadi: kinzika zithumunu zi Nzambi.
20 Each in the calling in which he was called—in this let him remain;
Bika kadika mutu katatamana ba banga bu katuama bela mu thangu katelo.
21 a servant—were you called? Do not be anxious; but if also you are able to become free—use [it] rather;
Wuba mvika bu wutelo e? Kadi kudibela mayindu. Vayi enati wulenda kuluka mu buvika beni, buna sadila buawu.
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:
Bila mvika wowo wutelo mu Pfumu widi mutu wu kiphuanza mu Pfumu. Bobuawu mutu wu kiphuanza wowo wutelo widi mvika wu Klisto.
23 you were bought with a price, do not become servants of men;
Beno lusumbu mu thalu yinneni. Diawu lubika buela kituka bavika ba batu.
24 each, in that in which he was called, brothers, in this let him remain with God.
Bakhomba baama, bika kadika mutu katatamana ba va ntuala Nzambibanga bu katuama bela mu thangu katelo.
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.
Mu diambu di bobo bakambu kuela, ndisi ko kadi thumunu yi Pfumuvayi ndieka kuba kamba diyindu diama banga mutu wumosi wumonono kiadi kuidi Nzambi mu ba wukuikama.
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:
Mu diambu di ziphasi zi thangu yayi, ndimmona ti bulutidi fuana kuidi kadika mutu mu ba boso bu kadidi.
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.
Nketo widi yaku? Kadi tomba vambana. Enati wisiko nketo bunakadi tomba nketo.
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.
Muaki enati kuedidi buna wusi vola masumu ko. Enati nketo wukambu kuela kuedidi, buna kasi vola masumu ko. Vayi bobo bamvanga bobo bela mona ziphasi mu nsuni vayi thidi lubika mona ziawu.
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;
Tala diambu ndituba: bakhomba, luzaba ti thangu yeka yikhufi. Diawu bobo badi ayi baketo bika baba banga basi ayi baketo ko.
30 and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;
Batu bobo bandila, baba banga basi ndila ko, bobo balembo moni khini, banga ti basi mona khini ko ayi bobo balembo sumbi baba, banga ti basi kadi kima ko.
31 and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for the [present] form of this world is passing away.
Kuidi bawu bansadilanga ntoto wawu, bika baba banga ti basadilanga wawu ko. Bila ntoto wawu vioka wumvioka.
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;
Thidi ti lubika ba mayindu. Bila mayindu ma mutu wukambu kuela madi mu diambu di Pfumu ayi mayindu mandi moso madi mu zaba buevi kafueti yangidikila Pfumu.
33 and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he will please the wife.
Vayi mayindu ma mutu wukuela madi mu diambu ntoto wawu madi muzaba; buevi kafueti yangidikila nketo andi.
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.
Niandi widi wuvasuka. Mayindu ma nketo wukambu kuela voti mayinduma muana ndumba madi mu diambu di Pfumu muingi baba wunlongo mu nitu ayi mu Pheve. Vayi mayindu ma nketo wukuela madi mu mambu ma ntotowawu madi mu zaba; buevi kafueti yangidikila bakala diandi.
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,
Thubidi bobo mu diambu di kulusadisa, bika sia ti mu diambu di ku lutambila ntambu vayi mu diambu luba ayi khadulu yisonga ayi luba bakangama mu sadila Pfumu.
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.
Enati bakala yindudi ti weti vangila muanꞌandi wu ndumba mambu makambulu fuana, enati weti diatusu kuidi zinzinunu ayi enati weti banzila ti bakuelana kaka buna dimboti kuandi; kasi vola masumu ko; bika bakuelana.
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;
Vayi enati bakala, zebi kanga ntima ayi vasiko mutu wukunkuika vayiniandi veka beki lukanu mu kambu buela kuela ndumba beni; buna niandi vengi bufuana, kabika kuela.
38 so that both he who is giving in marriage does well, and he who is not giving in marriage does better.
Diawu woso mutu kuedidi vengi diambu dimboti ayi woso mengi kuandi kuela, vengi diambu dilutidi mboti.
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;
Nketo wukuela widi wukangama kuidi bakala diandi mu thangu bakaladiandi kakidi zingi. Vayi enati bakala diandi difuidi, nketo wowo wulenda kuandi buela kuela dioso bakala di katidi, vayi kafueti kuedila mu Pfumu kaka.
40 and she is happier if she may so remain—according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
Vayi kuidi minu mbueni ti nketo wowo wufuilu bakala, wela luta mona khini ti kakadi buela kuela. Ayi tsidi diana ti minu mamvama Pheve yi Nzambi yidi yama.
