1 Corinthians 6
1 [Now another matter]: When any of you [believers] accuses another believer about some matter, he takes that matter to judges who are not believers, [for them to decide the case], instead of asking God’s people [to decide it]. (That is disgusting!/Why do you do that?) [RHQ]
Mmonga wa yhomo paiya ni tatizo ni njini ithubutu kulota kwa mahakama gha wasio haki kuliko palongolo pa bhaumini?
2 [I want] you to know that [we who are] God’s people will [some day] judge those who are unbelievers. [RHQ] So, since you will be judging unbelievers, you certainly are capable of judging between [believers who disagree on] small matters! [RHQ]
Mmanyililepi kuwa bhaumini bhilota kuuhukumu ulimwengu? Ni kama mwilota kuuhukumu ulimwengu, mwibhuesya lepi kuamula mambo ghaghabelili kuya gha muhimu?
3 (You should keep in mind that we will even judge angels!/Do you not know that we will even judge angels?) [RHQ] So we certainly should be able to judge about [matters that relate to how we] conduct our lives here on earth!
Mumanyili kuya tilokubhahukumu malaika? kwa kiasi gani zaidi, tibhuesya kuamula mambo gha maisha agha?
4 Therefore, when you [believers] have a dispute, you should certainly not choose as judges [to decide your case] people whom the congregation cannot respect [because those judges are not believers]! [RHQ]
Kama tibhuesya kuhukumu mambo gha maisha agha, kwandayakiki mwithubutu kupeleka mashitaka mbele ya bhabhiyemalepi mukanisa?
5 I am saying this to make you ashamed. Surely there is someone among you who is wise enough to judge disputes between believers! [RHQ]
Nijobha agha kwa aibu yayhomo. kuyelepi yayele ni busara miongoni mwayhomo wa kutosha kubheka mambi sawa kati ya ndongo ni ndongo?
6 But instead, some believers [among you] accuse other believers in a legal court. And what is worse, you let the cases be judged by unbelievers {unbelievers judge the cases}!
Lakini kama kaiyele henu, mwamini mmonga ilota kumahakama dhidi ya muumini yhongi ni mashitaka aghu ghibhekibhwa palongolo pa hakimu yaibelakuamini!
7 The fact that you have any lawsuits among you [shows that] you have completely failed [as Christians] (OR, [allowed Satan to] defeat you). You should [allow other believers] to wrong you [without taking them to court!]! [RHQ] You should not accuse them when [they] cheat you! [RHQ]
Ukueli ni kwamba kuyele matatizo katikati ya bhakristo ghaghaletili tayari usumbufu kwa yhomo. Kwandayakiki nkulokuteseka kwa mabaya? Kwandayakiki mwiyedekhela kukofibhwa?
8 But [what is happening is that] some of you are cheating others and doing wrong to them. [That is bad]. But you are doing that to fellow believers, [and that is worse]!
Lakini mutendeli uovu ni kukofya bhangi, ni abhubai ni mhaja ni ndombho bhinyu!
9 (You should keep in mind that wicked people will not become [members of] the group over whom God will rule./Do you not know that wicked people will not become [members of] the group over whom God will rule?) [RHQ] Do not be deceived {Do not deceive yourselves} [by thinking wrongly about these matters]. People who are sexually immoral, or who worship idols, or who (commit adultery/have sex with someone to whom they are not married), or who happily allow others to commit homosexual acts with them, or who take the initiative in committing homosexual acts,
Mumanyilepi kwamba bhabhayelepi haki bhilota lepi kurithi ufalme wa K'yara? Nkolokuamini udesi, bhasalati, bhabhiabudu sanamu, bhazinzi, bhafiraji, bhalawiti,
10 or who are thieves, or who desire and forcefully seize things that belong to others, or who are drunkards, or who slander others, or who are swindlers, will not enter the place where God rules.
bhefi, bhachoyo, bhalefi, bhanyang'anyi, bhatukanaji- kuyelepi miongoni mwa bhene yailokurithi ufalme wa K'yara.
11 Some of you previously did things like that. But [God] has freed/cleansed you [MET] [from your sinful behavior]. [He] has set you apart for himself. [He] has erased the record of your sins [because you trusted] [MTY] in the Lord Jesus Christ and because of what the Spirit of our God [has done for you].
Ni abhubai bhayele baadhi ya bhene ni muenga. Lakini nimali kutakasika, lakini nimalikuyosibhwa, lakini nnimali kutengwa kwa K'yara, lakini mufuanyili haki mbele sa K'yara mu lihina la Bwana Yesu Kristu ni kwa Roho wa K'yara watete.
12 [Some of you may say], “God allows us to do anything [that he does not forbid].” But [I would reply], “[That is true], but not everything that God permits us to do helps us.” [Yes, as some of you say], God permits us to do anything [that he does not forbid]. But as for me, I will not let anything make me [its slave; that is, I will not do anything that will gain control over me in such a way that I will not be able to stop doing it].
“Fhenu fhoa ni halali kwanene,” Lakini si khila khenu kiyele ni faida. “Fhenu fhoa ni halali kwanene,” lakini nilotalepi kutawalibhwa ni kimonga cha efu.
13 [Some of you may also say], “Food is just for [us to put in] the stomach, and the stomach is just for [us to put] food [in]. And since God will do away with food and stomachs [when he gives us our new bodies, what we do with our bodies sexually does not affect us any more than eating food does.” But what you have concluded is wrong, because] the Lord does not [want us to use] our bodies to do sexually immoral things. Instead, the Lord [wants us to use our bodies in ways that please him]. Also, the Lord [wants us to do what is good] for our bodies.
“Kyakulya ni kwa ajili ya lileme, ni lileme ni kwa ajili ya kyakulya, lakini K'yara ilotakufiyasya fyoa. Mbhele ubhombibhu lepi kwa ajili ya ukahaba, badala yiaki, mbhelhe ni kwa ajili ya Bwana, ilotakuuhudumila mbhelhe.
14 God, by his power, caused the Lord [Jesus] to live again after he died, and he will cause us to live again after we die, [which shows that he is very concerned about our bodies].
K'yara amfufuili Bwana ni tete kabhele ilota kutufufula kwa nghofho sa muene.
15 You should keep in mind that your bodies belong to Christ. [RHQ] So, should I [or any other believer] [RHQ] take our body, which belongs to Christ, and join it [sexually] to a prostitute? No, certainly not!
Mumanyililepi kwamba mibhele yayhomo ujele muunganiko ni Kristu? Mwibhuesya bhuli kufibhosya fiungo fya Kristu nilota kufiunganisha ni kahaba? Yibhuesekanikalepi!
16 When a man has sexual relations [EUP] with a prostitute, [it is as though] their two bodies become one body. (You should never forget that!/Do you not know that?) [RHQ] What [Moses] wrote [about people who join together sexually is], “The two of them will become [as though they are] one body.”
Mumanyilepi kwamba yaiungana ni kahaba ayele mbhele umonga ni muene? Kama andiko likijobha, “Bhabhele bhilotakuya bhele umonga.”
17 But anyone who is united {who joins himself} to the Lord becomes one with him spiritually.
Lakini yaiungana ni Bwana uja roho imonga pamonga ni muene.
18 Always (run away from/avoid) committing sexually immoral acts. Other sins that people commit do not affect their bodies, but those who commit sexually immoral acts sin against their own bodies.
Mwiikhembhelai zinaa! “Khila dhambi yaakaifuanya munu ni kwibhala ni mbhele wa muene. Lakini zinaa, munu hutenda dhambi dhidi ya mbhelhe wa muene wayobhi.
19 (Keep in mind that your bodies are [like] [MET] temples of the Holy Spirit./Do you not know that your bodies are [like] [MET] temples of the Holy Spirit?) [RHQ] The Spirit, whom God gave you, lives within you. You do not belong to yourselves. You belong to God,
Mumanyili kuya mibhele yayhomo ni hekalu la Roho mtakatifu, yaitama mugati mwayhomo, yhola ambayi mwapelibhu kuhoma kwa K'yara? mumanyilepi kwamba si muenga mwayhomo?
20 [because when his Son died for you it was as though] [MET] [God] paid a price for you. So honor God by [how you use] your bodies!
Kwamba mwagolibhu kwa thamani. Henu mumtukuzai K'yara kwa mibhele yayhomo.
