1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Kuhusu mambo ghamnyandikili: Kuyele wakati ambapu ni kinofu ngosi akolokugona ni ndala munu.
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Lakini kwa ndabha ya majaribu mingi gha zinaa khila ngosi ayelai ni ndala wa muene, na khila ndala ayelai ni ngosi munu.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
Ngosi ipasika kumpela ndala haki ya muene ya ndobho, ni khela khela ndala ni muene kwa ngosi munu.
4 The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
Si ndala yayele ni mamlaka juu ya mbhelhe wa muene, ni ngosi. Khela khela, ngosi ni muene ayelepi ni mamlaka juu ya mbhele wa muene, bali ndala ayenaku.
5 Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Mkolokuyimana pamwigona pamonga, isipokwa mkubalianaa kwa muda maalum. Mketai naha ili kukabha muda wa maombi. Kisha mwibhuesya kukhelhebhukilana kabhele pamonga, ili kwamba Shetani akolokuhida kubhajaribu kwa kukosa kiasi.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Lakini nijobha agha mambo kwa hiari na si kama amri.
7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
Nitamani kila mmonga ngayele kama nene kaniyele. Lakini khila mmonga ayele ni karama ya muene kuhoma kwa K'yara. Oyo ayele ni karama eye, ni yhola karama yhela.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
Kwa bhabelili kugegekibhwa ni bhajane niobha kwamba, ni kinofu kwa bhene kama bhabakili bila kugegekibhwa, kama kaniyele nene.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
Lakini kama mwibhuesyalepi kwizuila, bhipasibhwa kugegekibhwa kwa ndabha heri kwa bhene kugegekibhwa kuliko kuyaka tamaa.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
henu kwa bhala bhabhagegekibhu nikabhaphela amri, nelepi bali ni Bwana. “Ndala akolokutengana ni ngosi munu.”
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Lakini kama kajitenga kuhoma kwa ngosi munu, abakilai mewa bila kugegekibhwa au vinginevyo apatanai ni ngosi munu. Ni “Ngosi akolokumphela talaka ndala munu.”
12 But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
Lakini bhakili, nijobha - nene, si Bwana -kwamba kama ndongo yeywoha yhola ayele ni ndala yaiaminilepi na iridhika kuishi ni muene, ipasibhwa lepi kundeka.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
Kama ndala ayele ni ngosi yakamwamini lepi natiai iridhika kuishi ni muene, akolokundeka.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
Kwa ngosi yabelili kuamini itasika kwa ndabha ya imani ya ndala munu. Ni ndala yabelili kuamini itakasika kwa ndabha ya ngosi munu yaiamini. Viginevyo Bwana bhuinyu ngabhayelepi safi, lakini kwa kueli bhatakasiki.
15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.
Lakini mwenzi yaiaminilepi kabhokai na alotai. Kwa namna eyu, mhaja au ndhombho bhifungibhwalepi ni fiapo fya bhene. K'yara atukutili kwa amani.
16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Wimanyala bhuli kama ndala, huenda ilota kumwokola ngosibhu? Au wimanya bhuli kama ngosi, huenda ilotakumwola ndalabhu?
17 Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
Khila mmonga tu aishi maisha kama Bwana akibhagabhili, khila mmonga kama K'yara akibhakutili bhene. Obho ni mwongozo wa nene kwa makanisa ghoha.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
Ayele yataharibhu pakutibhu kuamini? Akolokujaribu kubhoka alama ya tohara ya muene.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
Ayele yeywoha yhola yakutibhu mu imani ataharibhulepi wala yabelili kutahiribhwa kuyelepi matatizo. Kakujele ni matatizo ni kutii amri sa K'yara.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
Khila mmonga abakilai mu wito kayele pakutibhu ni K'yara kuamini.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Wayele mtumwa wakati K'yara pakukutili? Ukolokujali kuhusu eyu. Lakini kama wibhuesya kuya huru, fuanyai naha.
22 For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
Kwa mmonga yaikutibhwa ni Bwana kama mtumwa ni munu huru mu Bwana. Kama khela, yayele huru pakutibhu kuamini ni mtumwa wa Kristu.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
Mmali kugholibhwa kwa thamani, henu mkolokuya bhatumwa bhanadamu.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Mhaja ni ndhombho bhangu, mu maisha ghoghoha khila mmonga watete twakutibhwai kuamini, tubakilai khela.
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
Henu, bhala bhoa ambabho bhabhabelili kugega kamwe, nujihe ni amri kuhoma kwa Bwana. Lakini nikabhaphela maoni ghangu kama nikiyele kwa huruma sa Bwana, sasiaminika
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
Henu nifikirila naha kwa ndabha ya usumbufu, ni kinofu ngosi abakilai kama kayele.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
Ufungibhu kwa ndala ni kiapo kya ndobho? Kolokulonda uhuru kuhoma henu. Uyele huru kuhoma kwa ndala au ugegekibhu lepi? Ukolokulonda ndala.
28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
Lakini kama ugegeli ufanyili lepi dhambi Na kama ndala agegekibhu lepi agegekibhu, afanyililepi hambi. Bado bhala bhigegana bhikabha masumbufu gha aina mbalimbali. Ninene nilonda nibhaepusyai aghu.
29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
Lakini nikabhabhoka naha, mhaja ni ndhombho bhangu mudani ufupi. Tangu henu ni kuyendelela, bhla bhabhayele ni bhadala bhaishyai kama bhayehenabhu.
30 and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;
Bhoa bhabhayele ni huzuni bhakifuanyai kama bhayele bhayelepi ni huzuni, ni bhoa bhabhinuna khenu kyokyokhela, kama bhamiliki hee kyokyokhela.
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
Na bhoa bhabhishughulika ni ulimwengu, bhayelai kama bhashughuliki lepi nabhu. Kwa ndabha mitindo ya dunia yifikira muishu bhwaki.
32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
Nilonda muyelai huru kwa masumbufu ghoa, ngosi yabelili kugega akajihusisha ni henu fafikamhusu Bwana, namna ya kumpendesya muene.
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Lakini ngosi yagegili kajihusisha ni mambo gha dunia, namna ya kumpendesya mdalamunu,
34 There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.
agawanyiki ndala yabelili kugegekibhwa au bikira kajihusisha ni fhenu kuhusu Bwana, namna ya kujitenga katika mbhelhe ni mu roho. Lakini ndala yagegekibhu kajihusisha ni fhenu dunia, namna ya kumfurahisya ngosi munu.
35 This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
Nijobha naha kwa faia ya yhomo mwayhomo, na mbhekalepi nteghu kwayhomo. Nijobha naha kwa khela ni haki, ili kwamba mwibhuesya kwibheka wakfu kwa Bwana bila kikwazo kyokyokhela.
36 But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.
Lakini kama munu ifikirila ibhuesyalepi kuntendela kwa heshima mwana wali bha muene, kwa ndabha ya hisia sa muene sejele ni nghofho sana, lekai ageganai ni muene kama kaganili. Siyo dhambi.
37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
Lakini kama afuanyili maamuzi ghakutokugega, na kuyelepi haja ya lazima, na kama ibhuesya kutawala hamu ya muene ilokufuanya kinofu kama agegilepi.
38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
Henu, ambayi akangega mwanamwali wa muene ifuanya kinofu, na yeywoha yhola ambayi ichagula kutokugega ilokufuanya kinofu zaidi.
39 A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
Ndala afungibhu ni ngosi munu wakati ayele hai. Lakini kama ndala kafwai, ayele huru kugegekibhwa ni yuywoha yhola yaaganili, lakini katika Bwana tu.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
Nakhona mu maamuzi ghayhoni ilotakuya ni furaha zaidi kama kaiishi kayele. Na nifikirila kuya ninene kabhele niyele ni Roho wa K'yara.
