1 Corinthians 7
1 And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good [it is] for a man not to touch a woman,
Moala n bua ki maadi yin den diani ki buali nni ya maama. li hani ke o ja n da taa pua.
2 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;
Ama kelima mi conconma n yaba maama, li pundi ja kuli n ya pia o pua, pua mo kuli ya pia o calo.
3 to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;
O ya ya tiendi no pua po yaala n pundi, o pua moko ya tiendi o calo po yeni.
4 the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.
O pua ki die o gbanandi, o calo n die, o ja moko ki die, o gbanandi, o pua n die.
5 Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;
Yin da yie mani yiyaba po, kali yikuli ya juogi ki tuo ki bili u yogunu waamu i jaandi po. Lani ya pendi, yin goa ki taani leni yiyaba ke sutani da tulini yi kelima yi gbali i gbanandi kubima.
6 and this I say by way of concurrence — not of command,
Min madi yeni, laa tie ke n bili yipo yin baa tiendi yaala ka, li yie sanbili yo.
7 for I wish all men to be even as I myself [am]; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.
N bua ke nilo kuli n ya tie nani min tie maama na. Ama nilo kuili baa U Tienu kani ya paabu n ki taa leni o lielo, niyendo ba ki baa fidi ki tieni lene, nitoa mo lene.
8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];
Moala n maadi yaaba n daa tieni ñiigili, Bi jaba leni bi puaba, leni a kpepuana mo po, li baa hani bi po ban ya tie ban tie maama, nani moko n tie maama.
9 and if they have not continence — let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
Ama bi ya kan fidi ki kubi bi gbanandi, ban tieni li ñiigili, kelima bi ya tieni li ñiigili hani ki cie bi gbanandi n ya fiidi bipo nani mi fantama n co tieni, ki paadi ba.
10 and to the married I announce — not I, but the Lord — let not a wife separate from a husband:
N bili mi naa maama yaaba n tieni li ñiili po. Mini ka bili ma o Diedo n bili maa. O pua n da ña o calo kani.
11 but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.
O ya ñani o kani wan da kuni jatoa, wan ya ye obebe, yaaka wan go mangi leni o calo ki goa o kani, ja mo n da ñani o pua
12 And to the rest I speak — not the Lord — if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;
Moala n maadi yaaba n sieni po, mini n maadi, o Diedo ka. Ti kpiilo yendo ya pia ya pua n ki daani, ama ki tuo ki ye leni o, wan da ñani o.
13 and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away;
Ya pua n pia o calo ke waa tuo ki daani, ama ki tuo ki baa ye leni o, wan da ña o kani.
14 for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
Kelima ya calo n ki daani baa mi gagidihanma kelima o pua po. Ya pua n ki daani mo baa mi gagidihanma kelima o calo po. Lani yaaka yi bila bi baa joagini, ama lan tie maama yeni, bi gagidi.
15 And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself — let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such [cases], and in peace hath God called us;
Ama yua n ki daani ya bua ki ña, ban cedi wan ña. O ya ñani, ti kpiiba, lan tie ja bi pua, faabi leni laa lolima, kelima U Tienu yini ti ke tin ya ye leni mi yanduanma.
16 for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save?
Fini o pua, a bani lede a ya baa faabi a calo? Fini o ja mo, a bani lede a ya baa faabi a pua?
17 if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each — so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct:
Lanwani bonyenla bebe n ye, yua kuli ya ye nani o Diedo n puni o maama, ki hoadi wan den tie maama U Tienu n yini o ya yogunu. Lan tie min biliti yaala Kilisiti n yini yaaba i kaani kuli po.
18 being circumcised — was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised;
O nilo ya den kua ku koanciagu U Tienu n yini o ya yogunu, wan da lingi ki bolini ku koanciagu maalima, o nilo yaa den kua U Tienu n yini o yogunu, wan da kua.
19 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing — but a keeping of the commands of God.
O nilo ya kua leni o yaa kua, laa tie pu, ama U Tienu mabilikaama kubima n tie li kuli.
20 Each in the calling in which he was called — in this let him remain;
Nilo kuli n ya tie wan den tie maama U Tienu n den yini o ya yogunu.
21 a servant — wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free — use [it] rather;
A ya den tie yonbo U Tienu n yini a ya yogunu, lan da yagi a yama. Ama a ya baa fidi ki faabi, han moandi.
22 for he who [is] in the Lord — having been called a servant — is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:
Yua n tie yonbo o Diedo n yini o ya yogunu, o Diedo faabi o ke o tua o yua. Yua n die o yuli mo U Tienu n yini o ya yogunu tua kilisiti yonbo.
23 with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men;
U Tienu den da yi ya dunga n pa, lanwani da tua mani bi nisaaliba ya yonbi.
24 each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.
N kpiiba yua kuli n ya tie U Tienu kani wan den tie maama U Tienu n den yini o ya yogunu.
25 And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful:
Yaala n tie yaaba n kaa tieni ñiigili nani yin den buali nni maama po, mii pia o Diodo mabilikaama laa maama po. Ama n baa waani yi min sua yaala, miini yua ke o Diedo teni ke n tua nidugika kelima o niñingbadima yaapo. k
26 I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter be thus: —
elima ya fala n kpendi yaapo, n sua ke li baa hani o nilo n ya tie wan tie maama.
27 Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
A pia pua bi? han da moandi ki bua ki ñani o. Haa pia pua? Da lingi ki taa. Ama a ya taa pua, han tieni tuonbiadi. O jafaano mo ya kuni ja, waa tieni tuonbiadi.
28 But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you.
Ama yaaba n tieni li ñiigili baa laadi fala u naa yogunu yema nni, li tie lanyaapo ke n bua ki todi yi yin da kua laa fala nni.
29 And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened — that both those having wives may be as not having;
N kpiiba min baa yaala tie ke ya yogunu n sieni koabi. Lanwani dinla liiga yua n pia pua n ya ye nani waa pia yeni.
30 and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;
Yaaba n buudi n ya ye nani baa buudi yeni. Yaaba n pia li pamancianli n ya ye nani baa pia yeni.
31 and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.
Yaaba n da bonla n ya ye nani baa die ban da yaala. Yaaba n pia i hantaadi leni handuna bonla n ya ye nani laa bonla ki tie bipo tiladi, kelima handuna yua n ye moala na pendi ki baa juodi.
32 And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
N bua yin ya ye ki da pia yanyagidi. Yua n kaa pia pua kuandi o yama o Diedo hantaadi nni, ki lingi wan baa mangidi o Diedo pali maama.
33 and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.
Yua n pia pua mo kuandi o yama handuna na hantaadi nni ki lingi wani baa mangidi o pua ya pali maama.
34 The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.
Lani n teni ke o podaano yama boagidi kaani lie. O pua moko, yua n kaa pia ja, leni yua n daa bani ja, bi moko kuandi bi yama o Diedo hantaadi nni, ki moandi ki gagidi bi gbanandi nni leni bi yantiali nni kuli. Yua n kuni o ja kuandi o yama handuna hantaadi nni ki lingi ki baa mangidi o calo pali.
35 And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly,
N maadi lankuli ki bua ki todi yi. Laa tie ke n bua ki dia ku diagu ka. N bua yin ya hua o Diedo nani lan pundi maama, ki bua o ki taabi o leni payenli.
36 and if any one doth think [it] to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin — let him marry.
O nilo ya pia o toginaa ke o dagidi li calinkpenli ke o sua ke li pundi wan kuni o ja mo, ke o sua o tudi leni wan yie opo, wan tieni wan sua maama, waa tieni tuonbiadi, wan cedi wan kuni.
37 And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart — not having necessity — and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart — to keep his own virgin — doth well;
Ama yua n den jagi ki bili o yama po ke o baa kubi o toginaa wan da kuni ja, o ya sua ke o baa fidi ki tieni nani wan den jagi maama, o hanbi leni wan teni ke o toginaa kan kuni ja.
38 so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better.
Lanwani yua n cedi ke o bisalo kuni, o tieni yaala n hani, ama yua n kuni o bisalo ke waa kuni, wani n tieni yaala n hani ki cie.
39 A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will — only in the Lord;
O pua luo leni o calo o colo n ye ya banlu kuli, ama o calo ya ti kpe, o pua yeni faabi ki baa fidi kuni wan bua yua kuli, ama kali wan ya tie o Diedo yua.
40 and she is happier if she may so remain — according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
O ya tie wan tie maama kaa go kuni jatoa n baa mani opo ki cie. lani tie mini n sua maama, n tama ke n pia U Tienu Fuoma moko
