1 Corinthians 7
1 Now [I will reply to] the things that you wrote to me about. It is good for people not to get married.
Amikről írtatok nekem, szerintem jó, ha a férfi nem érintkezik nővel.
2 But because many people are committing sexual immorality, [which God detests], every man should have his own wife [with whom he can have sexual relations], and every woman should have her own husband [with whom she can have sexual relations].
De a paráznaság veszélye miatt, minden férfinak saját felesége és minden nőnek saját férje legyen.
3 Every man must continue having sexual relations [EUP] with his wife, and every woman must continue having sexual relations with her husband.
A férj teljesítse házastársi kötelességét felesége iránt, s ugyanígy a feleség is férje iránt.
4 A man’s wife does not have the right over her own body [to be the only one to decide about having sexual relations with her husband]. Instead, her husband also has a right [to decide about that]. Similarly, a woman’s husband does not have the right over his own body [to be the only one to decide about having sexual relations with his wife]. Instead, his wife also has a right [to decide about that].
A feleség nem ura a maga testének, hanem a férje. Hasonlóképpen a férj sem ura a maga testének, hanem a felesége.
5 You may refuse [to have sexual relations with] each other [EUP] only if you both first agree to do that for a short time, in order that you may both have more time to pray. Then after that, begin having sexual relations again [EUP] in order that Satan will not be able to persuade you [to have sex with someone else] because you are unable to control your sexual desires.
Ne fosszátok meg egymást, legfeljebb közös akaratból egy bizonyos ideig, hogy legyen időtök a böjtölésre és az imádkozásra, azután ismét egymáshoz térjetek, hogy a sátán meg ne kísértsen titeket, mivel nem tudjátok magatokat megtartóztatni.
6 I am telling you these things to say that [God] allows [you to get married, but he] does not say that you must [get married].
Ezt pedig kedvezésképpen mondom, és nem parancsként.
7 I myself wish that all people would stay [unmarried/single], as I am. But God has enabled each person to live in ways that seem right for them. He has enabled some people to [live without getting married], and he has enabled other people to [get married].
Mert szeretném, ha minden ember úgy volna, mint én magam is, de kinek-kinek saját kegyelmi ajándéka van Istentől, egyiknek így, a másiknak amúgy.
8 Now I want to say this to you unmarried people and to you whose spouses have died: It would be good for you to remain [unmarried] as I am.
A nem házasoknak és az özvegyasszonyoknak azt mondom, hogy jó nekik, ha úgy maradnak, amint én is.
9 But if you cannot control your [sexual desires] [EUP], you should get married. It is better to be married [so that you can satisfy your sexual desires with your spouse] than to constantly have a strong desire [EUP] [for sexual relations].
De ha magukat nem tartóztathatják meg, inkább házasságban éljenek, mert jobb házasságban élni, mint égni.
10 And now I will give a command for [believers who are] married. This is not a command from me alone; it also comes from the Lord Jesus. You married women must not (separate from/divorce) your husbands!
Azoknak pedig, akik házasságban vannak, nem én rendelem, hanem az Úr, hogy az asszony a férjétől el ne váljék.
11 But if any of you do that, you must remain unmarried, or else you should be reconciled with your husband [and live with him again]. Similarly, men must not (separate from/divorce) their wives.
Ha pedig elválik, maradjon házasság nélkül vagy béküljön meg férjével. A férj se bocsássa el feleségét.
12 Now I say this to the rest of you, [to those who became believers after they were married. This is what] I [am saying], not what the Lord [has commanded]. If someone has a wife who is not a believer, if she is willing to keep living with him, he must not divorce her.
A többieknek pedig én mondom, nem az Úr, hogy ha egy atyafinak hitetlen felesége van, és az vele akar élni, ne bocsássa el őt.
13 Similarly, if a woman has a husband who is not a believer, if he is willing to keep living with her, she must not divorce him.
És ha egy asszonynak hitetlen férje van, és az vele akar élni, ne hagyja el férjét.
14 [I say that] because God has set apart every woman’s unbelieving husband [for himself] because of his wife [being a believer], and God has set apart every man’s unbelieving wife [for himself] because of her husband [being a believer]. If that were not true, [God would consider] their children unacceptable. But, the fact is that [God does consider] them acceptable to him.
Mert a hitetlen férfit megszenteli felesége, a hitetlen asszonyt pedig a férje. Különben gyermekeitek tisztátalanok volnának, így azonban szentek.
15 However, if a woman’s husband who is not a believer or a man’s wife who is not a believer wants to leave, let [him or her] do so. The husband or wife who is a believer should not force the other one to stay. God has chosen us in order that we may live peacefully.
Ha pedig a hitetlen elválik, ám váljék el. Ilyen esetben sem a férfi, sem a nőtestvér nincs elkötelezve. De békességre hívott el minket az Isten.
16 [You women believers should allow your unbelieving spouses to leave you if they want to], because there is no way that you can be sure that God will save your husband if you stay together [RHQ] (OR, perhaps God will save your husband if you stay together.) Similarly, you men [who are believers], there is no way that you can be sure that God will save your wives if you stay together [RHQ] (OR, perhaps God will save your wives if you stay together.)
Honnan tudod te, asszony, hogy nem mentheted-e meg férjedet, és honnan tudod te, férj, hogy nem mentheted-e meg feleségedet?
17 However, each person should continue in the status that the Lord gave him, the status that he had when the Lord called him [to belong to him]. That is the rule that I tell people in all the congregations [where I speak].
Éljen mindenki úgy, ahogy az Úr megadta neki, és ahogy az Isten elhívta. Minden gyülekezetben így rendelkezem.
18 If a man had already been circumcised [RHQ] when he became a Christian, he should not [try to pretend that he is not] circumcised. If a man had not been circumcised [RHQ] before he became a Christian, he should not become circumcised.
Körülmetélten hívatott el valaki? Ne takargassa. Körülmetéletlenül hívatott el valaki? Ne metélkedjék körül.
19 [You should not try to change your status that way], because it means nothing [to God] whether someone is circumcised or not. What is important is that we obey what God has commanded.
Ahogy a körülmetéltség, úgy a körülmetéletlenség sem ér semmit, csak Isten parancsolatainak megtartása (lényeges).
20 [Generally], each person should remain in the status that he had when he became a Christian.
Mindenki abban a hivatásban maradjon, amelyben elhívatott.
21 If one of you was a slave when you [(sg)] became a Christian [RHQ], do not be concerned about it. However, if you get an opportunity to be free, do [what you need to do to become free].
Rabszolgaként hivattattál el? Ne gondolj vele! De ha szabad lehetsz, inkább élj azzal!
22 [Do not worry about your previously being a slave], because those who were slaves before they became Christians, the Lord has freed them [from Satan’s control]. Similarly, those who were not slaves before they became Christians, [it is as though] [MET] they are Christ’s slaves [because they must do what he tells them to do] [MET].
Mert az Úrban elhívott rabszolga, az Úrnak szabadosa. Hasonlóképpen, aki szabadságban hívatott el, az Krisztus rabszolgája.
23 [Christ] paid a price to buy you [when he died for you]. So do not [act as if you are evil people’s] slaves [by doing the evil things that they tell you to do].
Áron vétettetek meg, ne legyetek emberek rabszolgái.
24 My fellow believers, [I repeat that in general] each believer, being in fellowship with God, should continue in the status that he had before he became a Christian.
Ki-ki, amiben elhívatott, atyámfiai, abban maradjon meg Isten előtt.
25 Now [I will answer your question] about women who have never married. There is nothing that the Lord has commanded me [to write about them], but I am writing this to tell you what I think [is best], because the Lord [Jesus] has mercifully enabled me to [say] what is reliable.
A hajadonok felől ugyan nincs rendelkezésem az Úrtól, de tanácsot adok úgy, mint aki irgalmasságot nyertem az Úrtól, hogy hitelre méltó legyek.
26 There are a lot of distressing events [happening] now (OR, that will soon happen), so I think that it is better for people to remain in the marital status that they now have.
Úgy ítélem tehát, hogy jó az embernek úgy maradnia a közeli megpróbáltatások miatt.
27 If any of you [men] are married [RHQ], do not try to divorce your wife. If any of you are unmarried [RHQ], do not seek a wife.
Feleséghez vagy kötve? Ne keress elválást. Feleség nélkül maradtál? Ne keress feleséget.
28 But if [any of] you [men] get married, you have not committed a sin [by doing that]. Likewise, if an unmarried woman gets married, she has not committed a sin [by doing that]. However, those who get married will have many troubles, [so I am urging you to remain unmarried in order that] you may not experience [such troubles].
De ha megnősülsz is, nem vétkezel. Ha férjhez megy is a hajadon, nem vétkezik. Ám az ilyenek testileg szorult helyzetbe kerülnek (testi gyötrődésben lesz részük), pedig én szeretnélek titeket ettől megkímélni.
29 My fellow believers, this is what I mean: There is not much time left [before Christ returns]. So, from now on those men who are married should [devote themselves to serving the Lord as much] as they would if they were not married.
Ezt pedig azért mondom, atyámfiai, mert az idő rövidre van szabva. Ezért akiknek feleségük van, éljenek úgy, mintha nem volna.
30 Those who are sad should [devote themselves to serving the Lord as much] as they would if they were not sad. Those who are rejoicing [should devote themselves to serving the Lord as much] as they would if they were not joyful.
Akik sírnak, mintha nem sírnának. Akik vigadnak, mintha nem vigadnának. Akik vásárolnak, mintha nem birtokolnának.
31 Those who are buying things should [devote themselves to serving the Lord as much] as they would if they did not possess those things. Because this world as it exists now will soon be gone, those who are actively involved in the affairs of this life [should not devote all their time] to be involved in those things.
Akik élnek e világgal, mintha nem vennék igénybe, mert elmúlik ennek a világnak mostani formája.
32 [Another reason why] I [encourage you to remain unmarried is that] I desire that none of you be anxious [about the everyday affairs of this life]. Unmarried men are [able to be primarily] concerned about serving the Lord Jesus and trying to please him.
Azt akarnám pedig, hogy ti gond nélkül legyetek. Aki nem házas, arra visel gondot, ami az Úré, hogyan járjon az Úr kedvében.
33 But married men are [often] greatly concerned about the affairs of this life. Specifically, they are concerned about pleasing their wives.
Aki pedig megházasodott, a világi dolgokra visel gondot, hogyan járjon feleségének kedvében,
34 So their thinking is divided. Unmarried women are [able to be] concerned about serving the Lord. They want to set apart their minds and their bodies for serving the Lord. But married women are [often] concerned about the affairs of this life. Specifically, they are concerned about how to please their husbands.
így kétfelé elkötelezett. Aki nem ment férjhez, a hajadon az Úr dolgaira visel gondot, hogy szent legyen mind testében, mind lelkében. Aki pedig férjhez ment, a világ dolgaira visel gondot, hogy férje kedvében járjon.
35 I am telling you this for your own good. I am not saying it in order to restrict you. Instead, I am saying it in order that you may do what is proper and be able to serve the Lord without being distracted {things distracting you}.
Ezt pedig javatokra mondom, nem azért, hogy tőrbe csaljalak titeket, hanem hogy feddhetetlenek legyetek, és állhatatosan ragaszkodjatok az Úrhoz.
36 [Some of you men have asked about your unmarried daughters]. [I suggest that] if any man thinks that he may be treating his daughter unfairly [by keeping her from marrying], and if it is already past [the right] time for her to get married, and if he thinks that she ought to be married, he should do what he wants to do. He should let her get married. He will not be sinning [by doing that].
De ha valaki szégyennek tatja, hogy a rábízott hajadon virágzó idejét múlja, és mégis pártában kell maradnia, tegye, amit akar, nem vétkezik: kössenek házasságot.
37 But if a man feels absolutely sure [that it is better that his daughter not get married], and if nothing is forcing [her to get married], and if he is free to do what he decides to do on the matter, if he decides that his daughter should not get married, he is doing what is right in [keeping her from marrying].
Aki pedig szilárdan áll szívében és nincs kényszerhelyzetben, mert hatalma van saját akarata fölött, és úgy döntött szívében, hogy a rábízott leány maradjon hajadon, jól cselekszik.
38 So any man who decides that his daughter should get married is doing what is good, but if he decides that she should not get married, he is doing something even better. (OR, [Some of you men have asked about the women to whom you are engaged to marry]. If any man thinks that he may be treating that woman unfairly [by not marrying her], and if it is already past [the right] time for her to get married, and if he wants to marry her very much, he should do what he wants to do. He should marry her. He will not be sinning [by doing that]. But if a man feels absolutely sure [that it is better] for him not to get married, and if nothing is forcing [them to get married], if he is free to make his own decision on the matter, if he decides not to get married, he is doing what is right. So any man who decides that he should get married to the woman he is engaged to is doing what is good, but if he decides that he should not get married, he is doing something even better.)
Aki tehát férjhez megy, jól cselekszik, de aki nem megy férjhez, még jobban cselekszik.
39 Women must remain married to their husbands while their husbands are still alive. But if a woman’s husband dies, she is free to marry any [unmarried] man whom she wants to marry, but he must belong to the Lord.
Az asszonyt törvény köti, amíg férje él, de ha férje meghal, szabadon férjhez mehet, akihez akar, de csak az Úrban.
40 However, I think that she will be happier if she does not marry again. And I believe that the Spirit of God is [directing] me [as I say that].
Véleményem szerint azonban boldogabb lesz, ha (özvegyen) marad. Én pedig úgy vélem, hogy bennem is Isten Lelke van.
