1 Korantien 7
1 Mɔlane yaal n nua ya bona po k dian ne, li ŋan yen nul n da nagn pua.
Now concerning the things about which you wrote: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Ama m buam po, ja kul ba pia o pua, k pua kuli pia o calo
But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 O ja ba ten o pua yaal n taanb k b ye yen lieb, o pua n mɔ da bel o calo yaal k'o mia'og kuli,
Let the husband fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
4 o pua k pia yiko o gbannand po, k li ya k tie o calo ka, yen mɔ'i ko ja k pia yiko o gbannand po k li ya k tie o pua yaa ka
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
5 Da yied man yen yin taan i lieb m buam sanu n k li ya k tie ki taan k kal k cuo yanjagl, yeni ki b ŋanb k ya jaand, k ŋanb k kɔbn i lieb, yeni k sitaan kan fid k bign ni.
Do not deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 N maadi li bona nan cegl yeni, l k tie yen yikod kan, n miad k nil kul
But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7 n ya tie nan min yeni. Nil kul pia ya paabu ko gaa u tienu kani, l paabu ye jiag jiag
Yet I wish that all people were like me. However each one has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
8 Yinb yab k pia puob yen a pakuana, n maadi k l ŋan i po, i ba ye li yinyienun nan min yen
But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9 ama, b ya kan fid k cuo b ba, li bual k ban kuan lieb, klma l ba su b po yen ban kuan lieb k da sien k ye m buam fala n
But if they do not have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.
10 Mɔlane n tien ni ya yiko ne yinb yab kuan lieb, min ka, ama u tienu. Pua kan sied k ŋaa o calo,
But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
11 ama o ya tienl, o ji kan kun ja tian, o ba ye oba, lan ya ka wan guan k mangi yen o calo, ja mɔ kan bel o denpua
(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
12 Ama yaal n sien kul u tienu n maad, k fid k nil yua pia pua yua k jaand n tien mɔndl k da bel l pua, k ya ye yen'o,
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.
13 li tie yeni ya pua kuni ya ja k jaandi, k li ja bo sun k wan kuan li pua, o pua yen mɔ k pia ya yiko ko b bel l ja
The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 Klma o pua jaandi tod li ja ko fuo t ŋandn, o pua yua k ban k'u tienu ye fuo ti ŋandn k dugn o ja jaandi po, lan ya ka, i bid kan ya fo ti ŋandn, ama mɔlane b fuo ti ŋandn
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 Ama li ya tu k yua k ban u tienu sied, ŋaogu wan ya caa, li sanu n ni, o ja bii o pua ji k cɔlm o puoni. U tienu yi'ti k tin ya fuo laafiaa n.
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 you to peace.
16 k dugn o pua, a k bani naan kani ba fie a calo, bii fin o ja naan ka b gaa a denpua miali
For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 Yua kul n ya fuo u tienu n bo tag'o k wan ya fuo nand, u tienu n yin yua kul o tuonln, ne tie n yikod ti jaanddieln.
Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the churches.
18 Yinb yab kul kɔnd ya yognu k'u tienu bo yin nii? da kpaan man yin ñan bii yin piin i kɔnd bam ka, yua k'u tienu yin'o ko k kpel k ban'o bual ban kɔnd'o? li k tie niinl ye ban kɔnd'o.
Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19 yaal n tie bonmonli k tie ti kɔndi ka, ama yaal n ŋanb k mɔn tie ti cɔlnd u tienu ñɔmaamn
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 N ninjab, n nipuob, lan tie ya tuonli kul, k t suan, tin sien k ya ceg k l paa.
Let each person stay in that calling in which he was called.
21 I bo tie yonbi ya yognu k u tienu bo yini nii? li bo pia'i o yanpudgu? ama i ya b fid k yal iba, kagn man,
Were you called being a slave? Do not let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
22 ya nilo k u tienu yin'o k o bo tie yonbg, li daan'o n yal oba u tienu po, li tie yeni yua n yal oba, ya yognu k u tienu yin'o ko dindanl yab, o ji yi tie jesu yonbo'i.
For he who was called in the Lord being a slave is the Lord's free person. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ's slave.
23 B den daa'i yen ya daagu n pa, lan, da tie man b nib yonbi.
You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of people.
24 Yua kul n sien k ya fuo u tienu maamn nan ya yognu k u tienu yin'o k o dindanl yab yen.
Brothers, let each one, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
25 Yinb yab sien k k ban jab, n pia yiko ba kul k l tie i yal yonbidaan nungn, ama ya du man i lieb po yen ti tienu po.
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.
26 Li ya po, yen ya fala(cicagm) mab'i kul, l ŋan yen k yin ya ye i ba'i.
I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a person to remain as he is.
27 I lol ŋasiil yen pua k nua li puobianli sanun ni? da kpaan man k yin wad i pala. I lol ŋasiil yen pua, bii i ye yanli? da kpaan man yin tien puobianli.
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
28 Ama li ya tie ki tien puobianli, yin da tie biid. Yab n kuan liebi, fala yen a maba boncianli yi gbadb ya yognu k b ye yen liebi, n bua yin kua li maba n.
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.
29 N maadi ne, n ninjab yen n nipuob: o yogu k yabi, mɔlane, yab pia puob n ya ye nan b ya bo k pia yen.
But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, those who have wives should be as though they had none;
30 Yinb ya buud, tien man nan i k pia ninsiid yen, yinb yab ye li pamanlin n, yinb yab tie nimɔnb, yinb yab daa bona kuli, ya tiend man nan ya danb k pia lba yen,
and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
31 Yinb yab n kpend yeni li ŋandunli, i bontitied n ya naan nan yab k pia ñuad li ŋandunl yen, klma, li ŋandunli ji caa o juodma.
and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the form of this world is passing away.
32 N bua k yalnba yal tie cicagbuol kuln, yua k kuan pua bii k kun ja, yi tug oba k cab t yonbdaano, k mangi yonbidaan pali,
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;
33 Ama yua tien puobianli, yi tug oba k cabi ŋanduna ne bona, kpaan wan mangi o pua pali,
but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
34 Yua k kuan pua bii k ban ja, tug oba k cabi u tienu tuona, o kpaan wan ya ŋan o gbannand yen o nalg kuli, li tie yeni mɔ ya pua k kun ja po mɔ, o yi tug oba k cabi ŋanduna ne bona, k kpaan mangi o calo pali.
and is divided. And the woman that is unmarried, or a virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the one that is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 N maad ne, k lan fid k tod'i, k da baad yen jeje i po, ama lan ya mɔn i po u tienu sanun k gbanñagl n da kua'i.
This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
36 Ama, ya daan'o mali ko k ŋanb k kub o pua k dugn o buakaal yabd yen wan tien o puobianli nan wan bo sun maama,
But if anyone 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 does not sin. Let them marry.
37 L k tie bonbiil, ama o kal k jag ko kan tien puobianli k mabl ba kul k ye o po, ko b fid k cuo oba, l baa tie bonŋanl yen o ya k kuan'o.
But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.
38 Li tie yeni k wan kuan o pua, o kub k ŋan, li tie yen mɔ yua k kuan pua po, o ŋanb k kub k l ŋan boncianli.
So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage does better.
39 Opua ŋanb k kub o calo ya yognu k b da fuo, ama o calo ya tua yua k ye (yua kpe), o b fid k guan k kun ja tian, ama li kul ne u tienu sanun ni,
A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
40 N, n ya po, o ba ye li pamanli nan wan ye maam. N maadi ne k gɔ sien k ban k n gbie u tienu fuoŋanmi.
But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.
