1 Akorinitho 6
1 Kũngĩkorwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe wanyu ũhĩtĩirie ũrĩa ũngĩ-rĩ, no akĩgerie gũthiĩ kũrĩ andũ arĩa matetigĩrĩte Ngai nĩguo mamatuithanie ciira, handũ ha gũthiĩ mbere ya andũ arĩa aamũre?
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ andũ arĩa aamũre nĩo magaatuĩra andũ a gũkũ thĩ ciira? Na angĩkorwo nĩ inyuĩ mũgaaciirithia andũ a gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, githĩ mũtikĩrĩ na ũhoti wa gũtua maciira marĩa manini?
Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ nĩ ithuĩ tũgaatuĩra araika ciira? Ĩ maũndũ ma mũtũũrĩre ũyũ-rĩ, githĩ tũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmaciira makĩria!
Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things of this world?
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kũngĩkorwo na mũndũ wanyu ũhĩtĩirio maũndũ-inĩ ta macio-rĩ, no mũthuure o na andũ matangĩtĩĩka kanitha-inĩ matuĩke a kũmũciirithia!
If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge, who are the most despised in the church.
5 Ndoiga ũguo nĩguo ndĩmũconore. Kwahoteka atĩa atĩ thĩinĩ wanyu gũtirĩ mũndũ mũũgĩ ũngĩhota gũtuithania etĩkia eerĩ ciira mangĩhĩtania?
I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren?
6 No handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe witũ atwaraga ũrĩa ũngĩ igooti-inĩ, na nĩ igooti-inĩ rĩa arĩa matetĩkĩtie!
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.
7 Gũkorwo mũrĩ na maciira gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu nĩkuonania atĩ nĩmũhootetwo biũ. Githĩ ti kaba mwĩtĩkagĩre gwĩkwo ũũru? Githĩ ti kaba mwĩtĩkagĩre kũheenio?
Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, nĩmũheenanagia na mũgekana ũũru, na acio mwĩkaga ũguo-rĩ, nĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe wanyu.
But you do wrong and defraud, and that to your brethren.
9 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ andũ arĩa aaganu matikagaya ũthamaki wa Ngai? Mũtikanaheeneke: Gũtirĩ ahũũri maraya, kana ahooi mĩhianano, kana itharia, kana arũme arĩa metuaga ta aka, kana arũme arĩa makomaga na arũme arĩa angĩ,
Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
10 kana aici, kana andũ arĩa akoroku, kana arĩĩu, kana acambania, o na kana atunyani makaagaya ũthamaki wa Ngai.
Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
11 Na ũguo nĩguo amwe anyu mwatariĩ. No nĩmwathambirio, na mũgĩtherio, na mũgĩtuuo athingu thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ o na nĩ ũndũ wa Roho wa Ngai witũ.
And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God.
12 “Niĩ ndirigĩrĩirio gwĩka ũndũ o wothe,” no ti ũndũ o wothe ũrĩ kĩguni. “Niĩ ndirigĩrĩirio gwĩka ũndũ o wothe,” no ndingĩathwo nĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 “Irio nĩ cia nda na nda nĩ ya irio,” no Ngai nĩagaciniina cierĩ. Mwĩrĩ ti wa kũhũthĩrwo na ũmaraya, no nĩ wa gũtungata Mwathani, nake Mwathani aathage mwĩrĩ ũcio.
Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meats; but God shall destroy both it and them: but the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14 Ngai nĩariũkirie Mwathani kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wake, na o na ithuĩ nĩagatũriũkia na hinya o ro ũcio.
Now God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up also by his power.
15 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ mĩĩrĩ yanyu nĩ ciĩga cia Kristũ we mwene? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, no ngĩoye ciĩga icio cia Kristũ nĩguo ndĩcinyiitithanie na mũmaraya? Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!
Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩnyiitithanagia na mũmaraya, matuĩkaga mwĩrĩ ũmwe nake? Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwĩrĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Acio eerĩ magaatuĩka mwĩrĩ ũmwe.”
Or know you not, that he who is joined to a harlot, is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.
17 No mũndũ ũrĩa wĩnyiitithanagia na Mwathani atuĩkaga ũmwe nake thĩinĩ wa roho.
But he who is joined to the Lord, is one spirit.
18 Ũragĩrai mehia ma ũmaraya. Mehia marĩa mangĩ mothe mekagwo nĩ mũndũ marĩ nja ya mwĩrĩ wake, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũhũũraga ũmaraya-rĩ, nĩ mwĩrĩ wake mwene ehagĩria.
Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.
19 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ mĩĩrĩ yanyu nĩ hekarũ ya Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, ũrĩa mwaheirwo nĩ Ngai? Inyuĩ mũtirĩ anyu inyuĩ ene;
Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God; and you are not your own?
20 inyuĩ mwagũrirwo na thogora. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, tĩĩithagiai Ngai na mĩĩrĩ yanyu.
For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.
