< 1 Corinthians 7 >
1 I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage.
Wali, dilia nama meloa dedei adole ba: i liligi amo na da adole imunu. Dunu e da uda mae lale goiwane esalumu da defea.
2 But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband.
Be wadela: i uda lasu hou da bagadewane dialebeba: le, dunu huluane da hina: udadafa amo lamu da defea amola uda huluane da hina: dunudafa ema fimu da defea.
3 Let a man pay his wife her due, and let a woman also pay her husband his.
Dunu huluane da dunu ea hou ea udama hamomu da defea amola uda da uda ea hou egoa ema hamomu da defea. Ela gilisili hahawane dogolegele fima: ne, enoma enoma mae hihini gilisimu da defea.
4 A married woman is not mistress of her own person: her husband has certain rights. In the same way a married man is not master of his own person: his wife has certain rights.
Uda da hi da: i hodoma hina hame esala. Ea egoa da uda ea da: i hodo amoma hina esala. Amo defele, egoa da hi da: i hodoma hina hame esala. Ea uda da egoa ea da: i hodo amoma hina esala.
5 Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and may then associate again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt you because of your deficiency in self-control.
Dunu o ea uda gilisimusa: dawa: sea, defea, mae hihini gilisimu da defea. Be alia afafane sia: ne gadomusa: fonobahadi mae gilisili esalumusa: dawa: sea fawane, fonobahadi yolemu da defea. Be hedolowane bu gilisimu da defea. Alia da: i hodo amoma hina hou fisili amola Sa: ida: ne ea dafama: ne olelesu nabimu, amo hamosa: besa: le hedolowane dunu da ea udama bu gilisimu da defea.
6 Thus much in the way of concession, not of command.
Amo hou da gasa bagade hamoma: ne sia: i na da hame olelesa. Be dilia hahawane dogolegele esaloma: ne, na da olelesa.
7 Yet I would that everybody lived as I do; but each of us has his own special gift from God--one in one direction and one in another.
Dilia huluane na defele esalumu da defea, na da agoane dawa: sa. Be Gode da ninima gasa iasu liligi hisu hisu iaha
8 But I tell the unmarried, and women who are widows, that it is well for them to remain as I am.
Be goi amola a: fini amola didalo ilima na da agoane sia: sa. Dilia da na defele dilisu udigili esalumu da defea.
9 If, however, they cannot maintain self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.
Be dilia hanai da bagadewane heda: sea, defea, dunu da uda lamu defea amola uda da dunuma fimu da defea. Dilia udigili dunu o uda hanaiba: le, lalu agoane nemu da defea hameba: le, uda lamu da defea.
10 But to those already married my instructions are--yet not mine, but the Lord's--that a wife is not to leave her husband;
Udalai dunu amola dunuma fi uda, ilima na da na sia: hame be Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu Ea hamoma: ne sia: i olelesa. Uda da egoa yolemu da sema bagade.
11 or if she has already left him, let her either remain as she is or be reconciled to him; and that a husband is not to send away his wife.
Be e da egoa yolesili, e da dunu enoma hamedafa fimu. Be fimusa: dawa: sea, e da egoadafa ema bu gousa: le fimu. Dunu amola da ea uda hame yolesimu.
12 To the rest it is I who speak--not the Lord. If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.
Eno dunuma na da na sia: olelesa (amo da Yesu Gelesu Ea hamoma: ne sia: i hame). Yesu Ea hou lalegagui dunu da uda Yesu Ea hou hame lalegagui lai galea amola amo uda da ema hahawane dogolegele gebewane fimusa: dawa: sea, defea, amo uda mae yolesima.
13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband--if he consents to live with her, let her not separate from him.
Amola Yesu Ea hou lalegagui uda amo egoa da hame lalegagui be egoa da ema hahawane dogolegele gilisili gebewane esalumusa: dawa: sea, defea, e da amo dunu hame yolema: mu.
14 For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become--and is--holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.
Gode Ea hou hame lalegagui dunu da ea udama madelagiba: le, Gode da amo dunu hahawane dogolegele ba: sa. Amola Gode Ea hou hame lalegagui uda da egoa ema madelagiba: le, Gode da amo uda hahawane dogolegele ba: sa. Agoai hame ganiaba, ilia mano da Gode Ea hou hame dawa: su mano agoane ba: la: loba. Be wali, amo mano Gode da hahawane dogolegele ba: sa.
15 If, however, the unbeliever is determined to leave, let him or her do so. Under such circumstances the Christian man or woman is no slave; God has called us to live lives of peace.
Be hame lalegagui egoa o uda da lalegagui amo yolemusa: dawa: sea, logo mae damuma. Agoane hamosea, lalegagui dunu o uda da hame la: gi agoane, sema hame. Dilia huluane olofoiwane esaloma: ne, Gode da dilima misa: ne sia: i.
16 For what assurance have you, O woman, as to whether you will save your husband? Or what assurance have you, O man, as to whether you will save your wife?
Di! Yesu Ea hou lalegagui uda! Dia fidibiba: le, digua gaga: i dagoi ba: ma: bela: ? O di! Yesu Ea hou lalegagui udalai dunu! Dia fidibiba: le, dia uda gaga: i dagoi ba: ma: bela: ?
17 Only, whatever be the condition in life which the Lord has assigned to each individual--and whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him--in that let him continue.
Dunu huluane ilia hou, Gode da ilima misa: ne sia: i amo esoga ilia hou defele, ilia Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu dawa: beba: le, bu hamomu da defea. Amo hamoma: ne sia: i na Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi huluane ilima olelesa.
18 This is what I command in all the Churches. Was any one already circumcised when called? Let him not have recourse to the surgeons. Was any one uncircumcised when called? Let him remain uncircumcised.
Gadofo damui dunu da Gode Ea misa: ne sia: i nababeba: le, lalegagui dagoi galea, e da gadofo damusu ilegei fisimu da defea hame. Be gadofo hame damui dunu da lalegaguiba: le, ea gadofo damumu da defea hame.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: obedience to God's commandments is everything.
Dunu ilia gadofo damui o hame damui da hamedei liligi agoane ba: sa. Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamosu hou, amo fawane da liligi bagadedafa.
20 Whatever be the condition in life in which a man was, when he was called, in that let him continue.
Dunu huluane ilia Gode Ea misa: ne sia: i nabasea, amo esoga ilia hou defele dialumu da defea.
21 Were you a slave when God called you? Let not that weigh on your mind. And yet if you can get your freedom, take advantage of the opportunity.
Di da Gode Ea misa: ne sia: i nabasea, udigili muni mae lalewane se iasu diasu hawa: hamosu dunu esalabala? Defea! Mae dawa: ma. Be amo hou fisimusa: , logo doasi dagoi ba: sea, gadili masa.
22 For a Christian, if he was a slave when called, is the Lord's freed man, and in the same way a free man, if called, becomes the slave of Christ.
Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu da se iasu diasu hawa: hamosu dunuma misa: ne sia: beba: le, amo dunu e da Yesu Ea udigili lalebe dunu agoane hamosa. Amo defele, Hina da halegale lalebe dunuma misa: ne sia: beba: le, amo dunu e da Yesu Ea se iasu diasu hawa: hamosu dunu defele ba: mu.
23 You have all been redeemed at infinite cost: do not become slaves to men.
Gode da dili bidiga lai dagoi. Amaiba: le, dilia eno osobo bagade dunu ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu defele ba: mu da hamedei.
24 Where each one stood when he was called, there, brethren, let him still stand--close to God.
Na fi dunu! Dilia huluane afae afae Godema madelagili, dilia musa: hou Gode da dilima misa: ne sia: i, amo esoga defele dilia esaloma.
25 Concerning unmarried women I have no command to give you from the Lord; but I offer you my opinion, which is that of a man who, through the Lord's mercy, is deserving of your confidence.
Wali na da dilia goi, a:fini amola didalo ilia hou dawa: ma: ne dilia meloa amo ganodini dedei, ilima na da adole imunu. Hina Gode da amo hamoma: ne sia: nama hame olelei. Be na da Hina Gode ea gogolema: ne olofosu dawa: beba: le amola dafawane sia: fawane dawa: beba: le, na da na asigi dawa: su dilima olelemu
26 I think then that, taking into consideration the distress which is now upon us, it is well for a man to remain as he is.
Wali eso da gegesu eso agoane. Amaiba: le, dunu da ea waha lai hou amo ganodini mae afadenene esalumu da defea.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to get free. Are you free from the marriage bond? Do not seek for a wife.
Di da udalai galea, defea, dia uda mae fadegama. Di da uda hame lai galea, defea, uda lamusa: mae hogoma.
28 Yet if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. Such people, however, will have outward trouble. But I am for sparing you.
Be di da uda lasea, di da wadela: i hou hame hamosa. Amola uda da dunuma fisia, e da wadela: i hame hamosa. Be na da dilima asigiba: le, dilia da udalai dunu amola dunuma fi uda ilia se nabasu hame ba: mu na da dawa: lala.
29 Yet of this I warn you, brethren: the time has been shortened--so that henceforth those who have wives should be as though they had none,
Na fi dunu! Na sia: bai da agoane diala. Yesu Ea bu misunu eso da gadenei. Wali amola fa: no, udalai dunu da uda hame lai dunu amo defele esalumu da defea.
30 those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,
Dibi dunu da da: i dioi hame dunu amo defele esalumu da defea. Hahawane oufesega: su dunu da hahawane hame dunu amo defele esalumu da defea. Nowa dunu da liligi bidi lasea, ilia amo liligi da ilia liligi hame agoane dawa: iwane esalumu da defea.
31 and those who use the world as not using it to the full. For the world as it now exists is passing away.
Nowa da osobo bagade liligi labe hou hamosea, ilia amo liligi da hamedei liligi dawa: iwane esalumu da defea. Osobo bagade waha ba: su hou da hedolowane bu hame ba: mu.
32 And I would have you free from worldly anxiety. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's business--how he shall please the Lord;
Dilia da: i dioi hame ba: mu, amo na da hanai gala. Uda hame lai dunu da Hina Gode hahawane dogolegele ba: ma: ne, Ea hawa: fawane hamomusa: dawa: sa.
33 but a married man concerns himself with the business of the world--how he shall please his wife.
Be udalai dunu da ea uda hahawane dogolegele fidimusa: dawa: beba: le, osobo bagade hawa: hamosu dawa: lala.
34 There is a difference too between a married and an unmarried woman. She who is unmarried concerns herself with the Lord's business--that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman concerns herself with the business of the world--how she shall please her husband.
Amaiba: le, hou eno la: ididili amola hou eno la: ididili da amo dunu hiouginana. Dunuma hame fi uda o dunuga hame dawa: digi a: fini da ea da: i hodo amola ea a: silibu Hina Godema imunusa: dawa: beba: le, Gode Ea hawa: fawane hamosa. Be dunuga lai uda, da ea egoa hahawane dogolegele ba: ma: ne, osobo bagade hawa: hamosa.
35 Thus much I say in your own interest; not to lay a trap for you, but to help towards what is becoming, and enable you to wait on the Lord without distraction.
Amo sia: na da dili fidima: ne sia: sa. Na dilia hou hedofama: ne, sema bagade legemu higasa. Be dilia hou noga: i hamone amola dilia da: i hodo amola a: silibu, huluanedafa Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamomusa: gini Ema ima: ne, na da amane sia: sa.
36 If, however, a father thinks he is acting unbecomingly towards his still unmarried daughter if she be past the bloom of her youth, and so the matter is urgent, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin; she and her suitor should be allowed to marry.
Dunu amola a: fini da sia: si esala be lamusa: hame dawa: sea, dunu e da amo a: fini ema fonobahadi wadela: le dawa: sea amola e da ema bagade hanai galea, defea, ela da gilisili fimusa: , e da amo uda dafawane lamu da defea. Amo hou da wadela: i hame.
37 But if a father stands firm in his resolve, being free from all external constraint and having a legal right to act as he pleases, and in his own mind has come to the decision to keep his daughter unmarried, he will do well.
Be dunu da eno dunu ilia gasa bagade sia: mae dawa: le, ea asigi dawa: su ganodini (amola ea asigi dawa: su amoma e da hina esala e dawa: be), e da uda hame lamu dawa: sea, defea, e da uda hame lai dunu agoane esalumu da defea.
38 So that he who gives his daughter in marriage does well, and yet he who does not give her in marriage will do better.
Amaiba: le dunu da uda lasea, e da noga: iwane hamosa. Be dunu da uda hame lasea, e da baligiliwane noga: idafa hamosa.
39 A woman is bound to her husband during the whole period that he lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she will, provided that he is a Christian.
Dunuga lai uda da ea egoa esalea, enoma fimu da sema bagade. Be egoa bogosea, ea logo da doasibiba: le, e da enoma fimu da defea, be Yesu Ea hou lalegagui dunu ema fawane fima.
40 But in my judgement, her state is a more enviable one if she remains as she is; and I also think that I have the Spirit of God.
Be na da agoane dawa: Agoaiwane uda da didalo agoane esalea, e da baligiliwane hahawane ba: mu. Amo da na asigi dawa: suga dawa: i liligi. Amola Gode Ea A: silibu da na dogo ganodini esalebeba: le, amo da Ea asigi dawa: su na fonobahadi dawa: lala.
