1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote: 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 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Vayi mu diambu di tina kitsuza, bika kadika bakala kaba ayi nketo andi ayi kadika nketo kaba ayi bakala diandi.
3 Let the husband fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her 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. Likewise 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 deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
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 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Luzaba ti thubidi bobo banga minsua vayi luisi lutumunu ko.
7 Yet I wish that all people were like me. However each one has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
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 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
Kuidi batu bakambu kuela ayi mafuola bulutidi mboti baba banga minu.
9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry. For it's 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 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her 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 if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
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 But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
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 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
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 is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother. Otherwise your children would be 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 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called you to peace.
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 how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your 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 Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the churches.
Muaki bulutidi mboti kadika mutu kadiatila boso Pfumu kamvanina ayi boso Nzambi kantedila. Bobo buididi lutumunu lu ndieti vana muidi mabundu moso.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not 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 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Wuba wuzengo voti wukambu wuzengo disi diambu di mfunu ko. Vayi diambu di lutidi mfunu diawu diadi: kinzika zithumunu zi Nzambi.
20 Let each person stay in that calling in which he was called.
Bika kadika mutu katatamana ba banga bu katuama bela mu thangu katelo.
21 Were you called being a slave? Do not let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Wuba mvika bu wutelo e? Kadi kudibela mayindu. Vayi enati wulenda kuluka mu buvika beni, buna sadila buawu.
22 For he who was called in the Lord being a slave is the Lord's free person. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ's slave.
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 slaves of people.
Beno lusumbu mu thalu yinneni. Diawu lubika buela kituka bavika ba batu.
24 Brothers, let each one, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Bakhomba baama, bika kadika mutu katatamana ba va ntuala Nzambibanga bu katuama bela mu thangu katelo.
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
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 think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a person to remain as he is.
Mu diambu di ziphasi zi thangu yayi, ndimmona ti bulutidi fuana kuidi kadika mutu mu ba boso bu kadidi.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
Nketo widi yaku? Kadi tomba vambana. Enati wisiko nketo bunakadi tomba nketo.
28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to 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 But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, those who have wives should be as though they had none;
Tala diambu ndituba: bakhomba, luzaba ti thangu yeka yikhufi. Diawu bobo badi ayi baketo bika baba banga basi ayi baketo ko.
30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
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 who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the 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 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may 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 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
Vayi mayindu ma mutu wukuela madi mu diambu ntoto wawu madi muzaba; buevi kafueti yangidikila nketo andi.
34 and is divided. And the woman that is unmarried, or a virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the one that is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her 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 This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
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 But if anyone thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He does not sin. Let them 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 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.
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 then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage does better.
Diawu woso mutu kuedidi vengi diambu dimboti ayi woso mengi kuandi kuela, vengi diambu dilutidi mboti.
39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, 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 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.
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.
