1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Hintte taw xaafida dabddaabbiyas zaaroy hayssa. Issi asi machchonna de7ikko lo77o.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid immorality, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Shin laymatethafe attanaw issi issi addey machcho ekko; qassi issi issi maccasas azini de7o.
3 Let the husband render to the wife her due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband.
Azinay ba machchees, qassi machchiya ba azinaas bessiyabaa kuntho.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
Machchees ba asatethaa bolla iw maati baawa, shin maatay I azinaassa. Hessadakka, azinaas iya asatethaa bolla maati baawa, shin maatay machcheessa.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your lack of self-control.
Hintte woosan guutha wode gam77anaw zoretethan gidonna ixxiko, issoy issuwa diggofite. Hessa gaason hinttenatethaa haaranaw xoonettin, Xalahey hinttena paacconna mela issife de7ite.
6 But I speak this by permission, and not as a commandment.
Shin taani hinttena zoranaw hayssa gaysippe attin kiita gidenna.
7 For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.
Asi ubbay taada machcho ekkonna de7iyakko dosays, shin Xoossay issuwas issuwas immida dumma imoti de7ees. Issuwas hayssa mela hankkuwas hessa mela imoti de7ees.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.
Machcho ekkiboonnayssatasinne azina geliboonnayssatas qassi am77etas taani gey, taada ekkonna woykko gelonna de7ite gada zorays.
9 But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Shin amon xuugetteyssafe ekkeysinne geleyssi lo77o gidiya gisho, entti banttana haaranaw dandda7onna ixxiko, ekkonne gelo.
10 And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
Taani ekkidayssatanne gelidayssata hayssada gada zorays; tana gidikke Goday kiittees; machchiya ba azinaappe shaakettofo.
11 But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
Shin shaakettiko hara azina gelonna barkka de7o woykko ba azinaara giigo. Azinay ba machchiw billofo.
12 But to the rest I speak, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
Shin haratas Godaa gidonnashin, taani hayssada gays. Ammanonna machcha de7iya ammaniyaa azini de7ikko, iya machchiya iyara issife daanaw koykko iyo billofo.
13 And the woman who hath an husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
Qassi ammanonna azini de7iya ammaniyaa machchaa de7ikko, I azinay iira issife daanaw koykko iyappe bilettofo.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Ammanonna azinay ba ammaniyaa machche baggara geeyees; qassi ammanonna machchiya ba ammaniyaa azina baggara geeyawusu. Hessi baynneeko, hintte nayti tuna gidoosona, shin ha77i entti geeshshi.
15 But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Shin ammanonna azinay woykko machchiya billanaw koykko billo. Ammaniya machchiya woykko azinay hessa melaban qashettokona. Xoossay nuna sarotethan daana mela xeegis.
16 For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
Ammaniya machchete, neeni ammanonna ne azinaa ashshaneekko ay eray? Woykko ammaniyaa azinaw, neeni ammanonna ne machchiw ashshaneekko ay eray?
17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.
Issi issi asi Goday iyaw immida imotaadanne Xoossay iya xeegidayssada de7o. Woosa keetha ubban taani tamaarssida wogay hayssa.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not become circumcised.
Oonikka qaxxarettidi ammanidabaa gidikko, qaxxarettonaada hanoppo. Qaxxarettonna ammanida oonikka de7ikko, qaxxarettanaw koyoppo.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Xoossa kiitaa polanaw besseesppe attin qaxxarettin qaxxarettonna aggin aykkoka maaddenna.
20 Let every man remain in the same calling in which he was called.
Issi issi asi Xoossay bana xeegiya wode de7eyssada de7o.
21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
Xoossay nena xeegiya wode neeni aylle? Aykkoy baawa hessas un77ettofa. Shin neeni aylletethafe la77a keyanaw dandda7ikko yeda keya.
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
Aylle gidi de7ishe Godan xeegettida asi Godan aylletethaafe la77a keyis. Hessadakka, aylle gidonna de7ishe, Godan xeegettida asi Kiristtoosa aylle.
23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
Xoossay hinttena gaten shammida gisho asa aylle gidoppite.
24 Brethren, let every man, in the state in which he is called, continue in it with God.
Ta ishato, hintte issoy issoy xeegettiya wode de7iya de7uwan Xoossaara issife de7ite.
25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.
Geela7otabaa Goday tana kiittidabay baawa. Shin Goday taw immida maarotethaa mela taani hinttena zorays.
26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
Hiza, ha77i metuwa gisho, ekkonna woykko gelonna duussi taw lo77o daanees.
27 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
Ne machcho ekkidabaa gidikko, billanaw koyoppa. Ne machcho ekkaboonnabaa gidikko, ekkanaw koyoppa.
28 But if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
Shin ne machcho ekkiko nagari baawa. Hessada geela7iyakka azina gelikko nagari baawa. Shin ekkiya geliya asaas ha sa7an daro metoy de7iya gisho hintte hessafe attana mela ta koyays.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
Ta ishato, ta gey hessa; wodey wuris. Hizappe sinthe machcha de7eyssi machcho ekkonayssada de7o.
30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
Yeekkeyssati yeekkonaada, ufaytteyssati ufayttonaada, shammeyssati aykkoka baynnaada banttana taybo.
31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
Ha sa7aa shaluwan maadetteyssati maadettiboonaada hano. Ha alamiya malay aadhdhana.
32 But I would have you without care. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
Hintte hirggi baynna daana mela ta dosays. Machcho ekkiboonnayssi Godaa ufayssanaw koyaa gisho, Godabaa qoppees.
33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
Shin machcho ekkidayssi ba machchiw ufayssanaw koyaa gisho, ha sa7abaa qoppees.
34 There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
Iya qofay nam77an shaakettees. Azina gelaboonna geela7iya ba asatethaaninne ba shemppuwan geeyada Godaa ufayssanaw koyaa gisho, Godaaba qoppawusu. Shin azinaa gelidaara ba azinaa ufayssanaw koyaa gisho, sa7abaa qoppawusu.
35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
Taani hessa hinttew odey, hintte maadettana melassafe attin hinttena un77ethanaw gidenna. Shin hintte qofay shaakettonna maaran de7idi Godaa ufayssiyabaa hintte oothana mela taani odays.
36 But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of her age, and need so requireth, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
Oonikka ba oychchida geela7ees gelo wodey aadhdhis gidi iyo agganaw qoppiko, hessi qassi iw lo77o gidonnayssi iyaw si7ettiko, ba koyidayssa ootho; entti eketto, geletto; hessan nagari baawa.
37 Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
Shin issi asi un77ethiyabay dhayin, ba wozanan minnidi, bana haaridi, ba oychchida geela7iw ekkenaw agganaw koykko loythis.
38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
Hessa gisho, geela7iw ekkiya uray loythis; qassi ekkonna uray daro loythis.
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Machchiya ba azinay paxa de7iya wode ubban iyara qashettasu. Shin I azinay hayqqiko, ba dosida azina gelanaw dandda7awusu. Gidoshin, iya geliya addey ammaniyaa asi gidanaw bessees.
40 But she is happier if she so remain, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
Ta qofan gidikko, iya gelonna de7ikko ufayssan daana. Qassi taw, ta bolla Xoossaa Ayyaanay de7iya daanees.
