1 Corinthians 7
1 But of thilke thingis that ye han write to me, it is good to a man to touche not a womman.
Afei, deɛ ɛfa nsɛm a motwerɛ de brɛɛ me no ho nie: Ɛyɛ sɛ ɔbarima nware.
2 But for fornycacioun eche man haue his owne wijf, and ech womman haue hir owne hosebonde.
Nanso, ɛsiane adwamammɔ enti, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima biara nya ɔno ankasa ne yere, na ɔbaa biara nso nya ɔno ankasa ne kunu.
3 The hosebonde yelde dette to the wijf, and also the wijf to the hosebonde.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima yɛ nʼasɛdeɛ sɛ okunu na ɔbaa nso yɛ nʼasɛdeɛ sɛ ɔyere na wɔn mu biara boa ne yɔnko.
4 The womman hath not power of hir bodi, but the hosebonde; and the hosebonde hath not power of his bodi, but the womman.
Ɔyere onipadua no nyɛ ɔno nko ara dea, na ɛyɛ okunu no nso dea bi. Saa ara nso na okunu no onipadua no nyɛ ɔno nko ara dea, na mmom, ɛyɛ ɔyere no nso dea bi.
5 Nyle ye defraude eche to othere, but perauenture of consent to a tyme, that ye yyue tent to preier; and eft turne ye ayen to the same thing, lest Sathanas tempte you for youre vncontynence.
Mommfa mo ho nkame mo ho mo ho. Gye sɛ mo nyinaa pene so ɛberɛ tiawa bi a morebɔ mpaeɛ; na sɛ mowie mpaeɛbɔ no a, monhyia mu, na ɔbonsam ansɔ mo anhwɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, montumi nni mo ho so.
6 But Y seie this thing as yyuyng leeue, not bi comaundement.
Menka saa asɛm yi sɛ ɔhyɛ so, na mmom, mereka no sɛ mama mo ho ɛkwan.
7 For Y wole, that alle men be as my silf. But eche man hath his propre yifte of God; oon thus, and another thus.
Ɛkaa me nko a na anka mo nyinaa te sɛ me. Nanso, obiara wɔ adom akyɛdeɛ sononko bi a Onyankopɔn de ama no. Yei wɔ nʼakyɛdeɛ na ɔfoforɔ nso wɔ nʼakyɛdeɛ.
8 But Y seie to hem, that ben not weddid, and to widewis, it is good to hem, if thei dwellen so as Y.
Afei, asɛm a mereka akyerɛ asigyafoɔ ne akunafoɔ ne sɛ: Ɛbɛyɛ sɛ mo nko ara mobɛtena ase sɛdeɛ mete hɔ yi.
9 That if thei conteynen not hem silf, be thei weddid; for it is betere to be weddid, than to be brent.
Na sɛ morentumi nhyɛ mo ho so nso a monkɔwareware. Ɛyɛ sɛ mobɛware sene sɛ mobɛhyɛ mo ho ahometeɛ.
10 But to hem that ben ioyned in matrymonye, Y comaunde, not Y, but the Lord, that the wijf departe not fro the hosebonde;
Mo awarefoɔ nso, mewɔ ɔhyɛ nsɛm bi a ɛmfiri me na ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn sɛ: Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbaa gyaa ne kunu.
11 and that if sche departith, that sche dwelle vnweddid, or be recounselid to hir hosebonde; and the hosebonde forsake not the wijf.
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔware bio; anaasɛ nso wɔka ɔne ne kunu bo mu. Saa ara na ɛnsɛ sɛ okunu nso gyaa ne yere.
12 But to othere Y seie, not the Lord. If ony brother hath an vnfeithful wijf, and sche consenteth to dwelle with hym, leeue he hir not.
Mo a moaka no, meka mekyerɛ mo, ɛfiri mankasa, na ɛmfiri Awurade, sɛ Okristoni barima wɔ yere a ɔnyɛ Okristoni na ɔbaa no pene so sɛ ɔne no bɛtena ase a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbarima no gyaa no.
13 And if ony womman hath an vnfeithful hosebonde, and this consentith to dwelle with hir, leeue sche not the hosebonde.
Saa ara nso na sɛ Okristoni baa wɔ okunu a ɔnyɛ Okristoni na ɔbarima no pene so sɛ ɔne no bɛtena a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbaa no gyaa no.
14 For the vnfeithful hosebonde is halewid bi the feithful womman, and the vnfeithful womman is halewid bi the feithful hosebonde. Ellis youre children weren vncleene, but now thei ben hooli.
Esiane bɔ a ɔbarima a ɔnyɛ Okristoni de ne ho abɔ ɔbaa no enti, Onyankopɔn bɛgye no na ɔbaa a ɔnyɛ Okristoni no nso, ɛsiane bɔ a ɔde ne ho abɔ ɔbarima no enti, Onyankopɔn bɛte ne ho. Sɛ anyɛ saa a, wɔn mma bɛyɛ sɛ abosonsomfoɔ mma, nanso sɛdeɛ ɛte yi deɛ, wɔyɛ kronkron.
15 That if the vnfeithful departith, departe he. For whi the brother or sistir is not suget to seruage in siche; for God hath clepid vs in pees.
Na sɛ nso wɔn mu deɛ ɔnyɛ Okristoni no pɛ sɛ ɔte ne ho firi Okristoni no ho a, momma no ɛkwan. Sɛ ɛba saa a, Okristoni no, sɛ ɛyɛ okunu anaa ɔyere no, de ne ho. Onyankopɔn afrɛ mo sɛ montena ase asomdwoeɛ mu.
16 And wherof wost thou, womman, if thou schalt make the man saaf; or wherof wost thou, man, if thou schalt make the womman saaf?
Ɔyere a woyɛ Okristoni, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woahunu sɛ worentumi nnye wo kunu nkwa? Na okunu a woyɛ Okristoni nso, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woahunu sɛ worentumi nnye wo yere nkwa?
17 But as the Lord hath departid to ech, and as God hath clepid ech man, so go he, as Y teche in alle chirchis.
Mo mu biara ntena ase wɔ akyɛdeɛ a Awurade de akyɛ no no so sɛdeɛ na ɔte a Onyankopɔn frɛɛ no no. Yei ne mmara a mekyerɛ wɔ asafo biara mu.
18 A man circumcidid is clepid, brynge he not to the prepucie. A man is clepid in prepucie, be he not circumcidid.
Sɛ twetiatwani bi ate Onyankopɔn frɛ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔpepa twetia no ho nsɛnkyerɛnnedeɛ biara. Sɛ ɔbarima nso a ɔntwaa twetia bi ate Onyankopɔn frɛ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔtwa twetia.
19 Circumcisioun is nouyt, and prepucie is nouyt, but the kepyng of the maundementis of God.
Ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ obi atwa twetia na ɔfoforɔ nso ntwaa twetia no nka hwee. Deɛ ɛho hia ne sɛ wobɛdi Onyankopɔn mmara so.
20 Ech man in what clepyng he is clepid, in that dwelle he.
Sɛdeɛ obiara te a Onyankopɔn frɛɛ no no, ɔntena no saa ara.
21 Thou seruaunt art clepid, be it no charge to thee; but if thou maist be fre, `the rather vse thou.
Onyankopɔn frɛɛ wo no na woyɛ akoa anaa? Mma ɛno nha wo na sɛ wowɔ ɛkwan bi a wobɛtumi afa so ade wo ho a, fa so.
22 He that is a seruaunt, and is clepid in the Lord, is a freman of the Lord. Also he that is a freman, and is clepid, is the seruaunt of Crist.
Ɛfiri sɛ, akoa a Awurade afrɛ no no yɛ Awurade onipa a ɔde ne ho. Saa ara nso na obi a ɔde ne ho a Kristo afrɛ no no yɛ Kristo akoa.
23 With prijs ye ben bouyt; nyle ye be maad seruauntis of men.
Onyankopɔn tɔɔ mo aboɔden, ɛno enti, monnyɛ nkoa mma nnipa.
24 Therfor ech man in what thing he is clepid a brothir, dwelle he in this anentis God.
Anuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ mo mu biara tena ase wɔ Onyankopɔn mu sɛdeɛ na mote ansa na wɔrefrɛ mo no.
25 But of virgyns Y haue no comaundement of God; but Y yyue counseil, as he that hath mercy of the Lord, that Y be trewe.
Deɛ ɛfa asigyafoɔ nso ho no nie: Mennyaa ɔhyɛ nsɛm biara memfirii Awurade nkyɛn, nanso meka mʼadwene te sɛ obi a Onyankopɔn mmɔborɔhunu enti wɔagye me ato mu.
26 Therfor Y gesse, that this thing is good for the present nede; for it is good to a man to be so.
Wodwene seesei ɔhaw yi ho a, medwene sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ onipa tena ase sɛdeɛ ɔte biara.
27 Thou art boundun to a wijf, nyle thou seke vnbyndyng; thou art vnboundun fro a wijf, nyle thou seke a wijf.
Wowɔ ɔyere? Sɛ wowɔ ɔyere a, nyɛ wʼadwene sɛ woregyaa no. Wonwaree anaa? Sɛ wonwaree a, nhwehwɛ ɔyere.
28 But if thou hast takun a wijf, thou hast not synned; and if a maidun is weddid, sche synnede not; nethelesse siche schulen haue tribulacioun of fleisch.
Nanso, sɛ woware a, wonyɛɛ bɔne. Sɛ ɔbaabunu ware a, ɔnyɛɛ bɔne. Nanso, ɔhaw a saa awadeɛ no de ba no, sɛ ɛkaa me nko a, anka mempɛ sɛ saa ɔhaw no bɛba mo so.
29 But Y spare you. Therfor, britheren, Y seie this thing, The tyme is schort. Another is this, that thei that han wyues, be as thouy thei hadden noon;
Deɛ mekyerɛ ne sɛ, anuanom, ɛberɛ a aka sua. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ yi, ɛsɛ sɛ mmarima a wɔawareware tena ase sɛdeɛ wɔnwaree da;
30 and thei that wepen, as thei wepten not; and thei that ioien, as thei ioieden not; and thei that bien, as thei hadden not;
wɔn a wɔsu yɛ sɛdeɛ wɔn werɛ nhoeɛ; wɔn a wɔsere yɛ sɛdeɛ wɔnni anigyeɛ; wɔn a wɔtɔ yɛ sɛdeɛ deɛ wɔtɔeɛ no nyɛ wɔn deɛ;
31 and thei that vsen this world, as thei that vsen not. For whi the figure of this world passith.
wɔn a wɔde ewiase abɔ wɔn bo yɛ sɛdeɛ wɔnhunuu bi da. Na sɛdeɛ ewiase yi te seesei yi rentena saa nkyɛ.
32 But Y wole, that ye be without bisynesse, for he that is without wijf, is bisi what thingis ben of the Lord, hou he schal plese God.
Mempɛ sɛ biribiara ha mo. Ɔbarima a ɔnwareeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho ma Awurade adwumayɛ; ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbɔ mmɔden sɛ Awurade ani bɛsɔ no;
33 But he that is with a wijf, is bysy what thingis ben of the world, hou he schal plese the wijf, and he is departid.
nanso ɔbarima warefoɔ de ne ho to ewiase nneɛma so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsɔ ne yere ani,
34 And a womman vnweddid and maidun thenkith what thingis ben of the Lord, that sche be hooli in bodi and spirit. But sche that is weddid, thenkith what thingis ben of the world, hou sche schal plese the hosebonde.
enti wɔtwe no afanu no nyinaa. Ɔbaa a ɔnwareeɛ anaa ɔbaabunu de ne ho ma Awurade adwuma wɔ honam ne honhom fam; nanso ɔbaa a wawareɛ no de ne ho to ewiase nneɛma so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsɔ ne kunu ani.
35 And Y seie these thingis to youre profit, not that Y caste to you a snare, but to that that is onest, and that yyueth esynesse, with outen lettyng to make preieris to the Lord.
Mereka saa asɛm yi, ɛfiri sɛ, mepɛ sɛ meboa mo. Merenhyehyɛ mmara bi mma mo. Na mmom, mepɛ sɛ moyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ na ɛtene na mode mo ho nyinaa ma Awurade adwuma.
36 And if ony man gessith hym silf to be seyn foule on his virgyn, that sche is ful woxun, and so it bihoueth to be doon, do sche that that sche wole; sche synneth not, if sche be weddid.
Ɔbarima ne ɔbaa a wɔahyehyɛ awadeɛ na afei wɔayɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔrenware bio no, sɛ ɔbarima no hunu sɛ ɔnyɛ nʼasɛdeɛ mma ɔbaa no nanso sɛ ɔntumi nhyɛ nʼakɔnnɔ so enti no ɔpɛ sɛ ɔware a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔware sɛdeɛ ɔhwehwɛ no. Bɔne biara nni yei ho.
37 For he that ordeynede stabli in his herte, not hauynge nede, but hauynge power of his wille, and hath demed in his herte this thing, to kepe his virgyn, doith wel.
Nanso, ɛyɛ mmom sɛ ɔbɛhyɛ ne ho so na wasi nʼadwene pi sɛ ɔrenware.
38 Therfore he that ioyneth his virgyn in matrymonye, doith wel; and he that ioyneth not, doith betere.
Ɛyɛ sɛ ɔbarima ware deɛ, nanso sɛ anka wanware koraa a na ɛyɛ.
39 The womman is boundun to the lawe, as longe tyme as hir hosebonde lyueth; and if hir hosebonde is deed, sche is delyuered fro the lawe of the hosebonde, be sche weddid to whom sche wole, oneli in the Lord.
Sɛ ɔbaa ɔwarefoɔ kunu te ase a, ɔnne ne ho; na sɛ ne kunu no wu deɛ a, ɔwɔ ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔware ɔfoforɔ a ɔpɛ; nanso ɛsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ Kristo awadeɛ.
40 But sche schal be more blessid, if sche dwellith thus, aftir my counsel; and Y wene, that Y haue the Spirit of God.
Na sɛ ɔtumi tena ase sɛdeɛ ɔte no nso a, ne ho bɛtɔ no yie. Mʼadwene ni, na megye di sɛ me nso me wɔ Onyame Honhom.
