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.
Amadi raangmaat halan tiit ah langla amah. Miwah ih jaalah lakap thang ih tongla ah ese.
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Enoothong roomjup roomtong tenthun thih ah rapne ih jaatla erah thoidoh, miwah suh heh sanuh eje ang theng, nyia minuh suh heh sawah eje ang theng.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
Miwah rah ih hesanuh ih tiimjih jamha, erah ekot etheng adoleh minuh ih uh hesawah ih tiimjih jamha erah ekot etheng, eno wasiit ih wasiit tiim laakiila, emamah eh chosokmui theng.
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.
Hesanuh ah heh sakpuh raangtaan ih changte tah angka, hesawah raangtaan ih, erah likhiik hesawah ah heh sakpuh raangtaan ih tah angka, hesanuh raangtaan.
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.
Rangsoom saapoot kap suh miijun ih roongwaan choi lah angka bah eroom ih tong ah nak haammui ansih. Sen ih lajen naan thoidoh Soitaan ih erah lam adoh phoh phate han.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Arah ngah ih ehaam tah eh rumra, nga tenthun ah ba baat rumhala.
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.
Amiidi bah sen loong ah nga likhiik ih tongdoh ese ang thengta; enoothong Rangte ih ranglakkot ah warep suh koha, wahoh wahoh suh jihoh jihoh ranglakkot ah koha.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
Amadi, maangnookte nyia jootiinuh loong asuh liihang sen loong ah nga likhiik sen luulu tong anbah ese ang ah.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
Enoothong lajen naan kanbah enook ba nookmui an. Sen tenthun nah nah weeluula likhiik ih ramka anbah nookmui laan ela ah ese ang ah.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
Hasongchoi mina loong asuh Teesu tiit baattheng eje nga tiit tah angka: Hesanuh ih hesawah ah lah thiinhaat theng,
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
enoothong heh emah mok re abah heh luulu songtong theng erah lah angka bah hesawah damdoh we punwaan etheng; eno hesawah ih lahaat theng.
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.
Wahoh loong raangtaan ih jenglang (Nga teewah jenglang, Teesu jeng tah angka): Kristaan mih ih lahanpiite kap abah adoleh heh damdoh songtong thung ang abah, minuh ah lahaat theng.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
Adoleh Kristaan nah lahanpiite suh nook abah nyia heh damdoh songtong thung ang abah, miwah ah lahaat theng.
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.
Tiimnge liidi lahanpiite hesawah ah hesanuh damdi roongroop thoidi Rangte ih ekap eha, adoleh lahanpiite hesanuh ah hesawah damdi roongroop thoidi Rangte ih ekap eha. Emah lamok angta bah, nengsuh nengsah ah rangnak mih ang thengta; enoothong emah lah angthang ih, neng loong ah Rangte ih ekap ejih ih hoonla.
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.
Enoothong, hera heba ah lahanpiite ang ano kristaan ah thiinhaat thung ang abah, heh ih toomjat ah. Erah likhiik ang abah, hera heba kristaan mina ah miwah angkoja oh minuh angkoja oh, heh tiim uh jen re ih ah. Rangte ih sen loong ah semroongroong ih songtong suh poon tahan.
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?
Kristaan sanuh ih, mamah jen li uh, an sawah ah an ih tajen puipang ko ngeh ah? Adoleh, Kristaan sawah ih, mamah jen li uh, an sanuh ah an ih tajen puipang ko ngeh ah?
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.
Rangte ih poon tahan adoh sen mamah angtan, nyia Teesu lakkot jun doh sen loong ah emah songtong theng. Chaas rookwet ni arah banlam ah nyootsoot rumhala.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
O miwah khoopkhan choi ah eno Rangte ih poonha ah ekap eha, khoopkhanta rah matsiit suh lasamthun theng; o miwah khoopkhan muh ah eno Rangte ih poonha ah ekap eha, heh ih hekhoop ah lakhan theng.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
Tiimnge liidi miwah khoopkhan muh angkoja oh khanchoi angkoja oh erah tiim tah angka; Rangte jengdang aba kap theng.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
Rangte ih poon tahan adoh ethang etan ah likhiik ih ang an.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Rangte ih poon tahan adoh dah tam angtan? Emah ang an bah uh ese mabah uh ethih nakchoh an; enoothong sen loong ah maama pongwan angsuh saapoot cholan bah, emah ang an.
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 Messiah’s bondservant.
Tiimnge liidi Teesu ih dah poonha ah Teesu mina maama pongwan toom ang ah ngeh ih poonha; erah likhiikkhiik maama pongwan ih tongla mina Jisu ih poonha ah langla heh dah.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
Rangte ih hethaang ih reh tahan; erah raangtaan ih sen loong ah mih dah lakah ang theng.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Nga joonte loong, sen loong ah Rangte ih poon tahan adoh angtan ah likhiik ih saarookwet Heh damdoh tong an.
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.
Amadi, maang kapmuite tiit raang han ah langla: Teesu jengdang tabaat rumra, enoothong nga thung ni Teesu minchan jun ih thunhang aba baat rumhala.
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
Amah dowa chamnaang ah thun kaadi bah, miwah ih minuh lakap thang ih hetongtong eh abah ese heh ang ah.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
Sen sanuh eje tam ah? Eje ang abah heh phanhaat suh nak samthun an. Sen ih jaalah maangkap tam anglan? Emah ang abah an minuh nakjam an.
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.
Enoothong sen ih sen sanuh ah ekap eh tanbah, sen rangdajih tare kan; adoleh minuh hasong maangkah ah jaaro suh nook abah, heh rangdajih tareeka. Enoothong chosong choi loong ah saarookwet chamnaang rumla ah likhiik seng loong ah naktoom chamnaang an ngeh ih liirum hala.
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;
Nga phono loong ngah ih liihang ah amah; amadi saapoot ah ehan takah tongla, adoleh miwah hasong kaatchoi loong ah hasong maangkah likhiik ih songtong theng;
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;
o ehu ela, erah lathungthika likhiik ih ang theng; o engit ela, erah tenroon lah angka ah likhiik ih ang theng; o ih dongriik eha, erah reta ah lajeeka ah likhiik ih ang theng;
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
hui akhaak o jiinni jeela, erah raang ih lamokaka ah likhiik ih ang theng. Tiimnge liidi, amadi arah mongrep ah, ehan takah tongka ang ah.
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;
Sen loong ah naktoom sootsaam an ngeh ih li rumhala. Hasong maangkah mina ah Teesu ah eroon toom e ah li ano Teesu mootkaat ah mokah roh ela.
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Enoothong hasong kaatchoi loong abah, heh sanuh ah tenroon thuksuh hansi mootkaat ni phaangdat roh ela;
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.
adoleh erah mina ah haanghophop ni phaangdat la. Hasong maangkaka minuh nyia jaalah saachamcham Teesu mootkaat ah samthun roh eha, tiimnge liidi heh heteenuh sakpuh nyia moong achaang ah esa ih thiinha; enoothong hasong kaatchoi minuh abah heh sawah roonthuk suh hansi mootkaat ah samthun roh eha.
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.
Arah jenglang ah sen loong raang ih jenglang. Sen loong asuh ngah ih ehaam tah eh rumra. Erah nang ebah, marah pun ah nyia esa ah erah mootkaat suh baat rumhala, Teesu mootkaat nah jihoh laphaang thun thang ih senten senmong ah koh anno toom mokah an eh ah.
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.
Marah jaaro jaalah kakhat choi ih hasong takah keetih ngeh ih roongwaan nyu ah: Eno miwah rah ih jaalah ah damdi mok re bo elang ngeh ih samthun ano chosong esuh liinyu abah nengnyi thungthung ih toom chosong nyu ah. Erah rangdah jih tah angka.
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.
Enoothong miwah rah ih, hasong takah kang ngeh ih jen li abah, jaalah ah lakapka bah eseethoon ang ah.
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.
Erah raangtaan, miwah o ih minuh kap ha, ese eh reela, enoothong o lanookmui ka, erabah eseethoon reela.
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.
Hasong kaatchoi minuh ah hesawah mikthingthing doh hepongwanwan tami reeraangka; enoothong hesawah ah ti abah, heh thung haanla Kristaan mina damdoh jen chosong eh ah.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
Enoothong helaklak ih tong abah tenroon laan tong ah. Arah bah nga tenthun ah ba baat hang, eno Rangte Chiiala nga damdi eje ngeh ih samthun hang.
