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]
Umtu weka lwawa ni shinda nu wamwao awala hushitaki hwibaraza lya wasagawaputa?
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]
Sagammenye aje wawaputa wanzahulo uje awamunsi? Mzahuwalonje wa munsi, sangamngawezya akata amambo yasagalisawa?
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!
Sanga mmenye aje tinzahuwalonje awatumi? shipimo wele hanii shantingawezya ahuamle amambo gi maisha ega?
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]
Tingawezya alonje amambo gi maisha ega, shonu mhwanza hugatwale inongwa hwawasaga wemelenye hushiwanza?
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]
Iyanga ega hu soni yenyu. Nomo yali ninjele pahati yunyu yakwelenye aweshe amambo shinza pahanti ya waholo na waholo?
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}!
Eshi shileho umputi weka awala hubalaza dhidi ya mputi uwamwao ni nongwa iwehwa hwilongolela lya nonzi yasanga aputa!
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]
Lioli aje hulishida hwawa Kristi gagaletie amalawa humwenyu. Shonu msahalawe na mawiwi? Shonu mhwetehe ahopelwe?
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 muwombile imbiwi na ahopelwe awamo ewo wawasahala, na walendu awenyu!
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,
Sanga mmenye aje wasaga wawomba inyinza saga wahaipata uumwene wa Ngolobhe? Msahahweteshe ilenka. Awabeshe, wawaputa isanamu, awamalaya, awafilaji, awalawiti,
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.
awiwa, uchoyo, wawakhola, wawahopa, wawaliga, numo katiyenyu yahaipata uumwene wa Ngolowe.
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].
Ewo wahali kati yenyu amwe eshi tayari moziwe. Nantele tayari moziwe tayari mbaguliwe hwa Ngolobhe, nantele muwombwilwe walioli hwilongolela lya Ngolobhe hwitawa lya Bwana Yesu Ukristi nu Umpepo wa Ngolowe wentu.
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].
“Ivintu vyonti vilisawa”, lakini saga vyonti vilinifaida. “Ivintu vyo vilisawa huline,” lakini sanganitawaliwa hata na heka kati yenyo.
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.
“Ishalye ni kwa ajili ya vyanda na ivyanda ni kwa ajili ya shalye,” lakini Ungolobhe ahaivyefwa vyonti. Ubele saga uwombwilwe kwa ajili ya umalaya, badala yakwe, ubele wa Bwana, na Ubwana ananza huwombele ubele.
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].
Ungolowe ahazyoshenzye uBwana nate shesho ahaitizyosya hu ngovu zyankwe.
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!
Saga mmenye aje amabele genyu gawungene nu Kristi? Nantele hutwale hwa wamalaya? Sagaiwajie!
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.”
Sagamamenye aje yawongana nu malaya ali beli gwenka nao? Nanzi izwi shaliyangaga, “Wawele wazawe bele gweka.”
17 But anyone who is united {who joins himself} to the Lord becomes one with him spiritually.
Lakini yawongana nu Bwana awa mpepo nu mwene.
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.
Ishembelaji izinaa! “Umuntu yawomba imbiwi hubele gwakwe mwene. Lazima zinaa, mtu hutenda dhambi dhidi ya mwili wakwe mwenyewe.
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,
Sanga mumenye aje amabele genyu mlishiwanza sha Umpepo Ufinjile, yakhala mhanti yunyu, ola yamwahapewilwe afume hwa Ngolobhe? Sanga mmenye aje sanga mwemwe muwene?
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!
Aje mwahakalilwe hugalama eshi tukuzyanji Ungolobhe hu mabele genyu.
