Korineto I 7
1 MA na mea a oukou i palapala mai ai ia'u; he mea maikai no ke kane, aole e hoopili aku i ka wahine.
I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage.
2 Aka, o moe kolohe auanei, ua pono no i kela kane i keia kane kana wahine iho, a ua pono no i kela wahine i keia wahine, kana kane iho.
But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband.
3 E pono no e ae lokomaikai aku ke kane i ka wahine, a pela no ka wahine i ke kane.
Let a man pay his wife her due, and let a woman also pay her husband his.
4 No ka mea, aole na ka wahine kona kino iho, na ke kane no; aole hoi na ke kane kona kino iho, na ka wahine no.
A married woman is not mistress of her own person: her husband has certain rights. In the same way a married man is not master of his own person: his wife has certain rights.
5 Mai hoonele wale oukou i kekahi i kekahi, aia wale no ma ka like o ka manao, a i mea hoi e lilo loa ai i ka hookeai a me ka pule; a e hui hou no, i hoowalewale ole mai ai o Satana ia oukou, no ko oukou hiki ole i ka hoomanawanui.
Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and may then associate again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt you because of your deficiency in self-control.
6 Ke olelo aku nei au i keia no ka manao no, aole no ke kauoha aku.
Thus much in the way of concession, not of command.
7 Ke makemake nei au, i like na kanaka a pau me au nei Aka, ua loaa i kela kanaka, i keia kanaka kona makana ponoi, na ke Akua mai, okoa no hoi ke ano o kekahi, okoa ke ano o kekahi.
Yet I would that everybody lived as I do; but each of us has his own special gift from God--one in one direction and one in another.
8 Ke olelo aku nei au i ka poe i mare ole ia, a me na wahinekanemake, he mea pono no lakou ke hoomau e like me au nei.
But I tell the unmarried, and women who are widows, that it is well for them to remain as I am.
9 Aka, i hiki ole ia lakou ke hoomanawanui, e mare no lakou; no ka mea, ua maikai ka mare, aole ke kuko.
If, however, they cannot maintain self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.
10 Ke hauoha aku nei au i ka poe i mareia, aole na'u, na ka Haku no, Mai haalele ka wahine i kana kane:
But to those already married my instructions are--yet not mine, but the Lord's--that a wife is not to leave her husband;
11 A ina ua haalele, e noho mare ole ia oia, a e maliu hou aku paha i ke kane: aole hoi e kipaku ke kane i ka wahine.
or if she has already left him, let her either remain as she is or be reconciled to him; and that a husband is not to send away his wife.
12 Ke olelo aku nei au i ka poe i koe, aole na ka Haku mai; Ina he wahine hoomaloka ka kekahi hoahanau kane, a manao ka wahine e noho pu me ia, mai kipaku ke kane ia ia.
To the rest it is I who speak--not the Lord. If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.
13 A o ka wahine hoi, ke hoomaloka kana kane, a manao no ke kane e noho pu me ia, mai kipaku ka wahine ia ia.
And a woman who has an unbelieving husband--if he consents to live with her, let her not separate from him.
14 No ka mea, ua huikalaia ke kane hoomaloka i ka wahine, a me ka wahine hoomaloka hoi, ua huikalaia oia i ke kane. Ina aole pela, ina ua haumia na keiki a oukou; aka, ano la, ua huikalaia.
For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become--and is--holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.
15 A ina na ka hoomaloka ka haalele, e haalele no. Aole i paa ka hoahanau kane a me ka hoahanau wahine i keia mau mea. Aka, ua ao mai ke Akua ia kakou ma ke kuikahi.
If, however, the unbeliever is determined to leave, let him or her do so. Under such circumstances the Christian man or woman is no slave; God has called us to live lives of peace.
16 Pehea oe i ike ai, e ka wahine, e ola paha kau kane ia oe? Pehea hoi oe i ike ai, e ke kane, e ola paha kau wahine ia oe?
For what assurance have you, O woman, as to whether you will save your husband? Or what assurance have you, O man, as to whether you will save your wife?
17 E like hoi me ka ka Haku haawi ana mai i kela kanaka i keia kanaka, e like no me ka ke Akua hea ana mai i kela kanaka i keia kanaka, pela no ia e hele ai; a pela no au e kauoha aku nei ma na ekalesia a pau.
Only, whatever be the condition in life which the Lord has assigned to each individual--and whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him--in that let him continue.
18 Ina i heaia'ku kekahi i okipoepoeia; mai huna oia i kona okipoepoe ana: ina i heaia'ku kekahi i okipoepoe ole ia; mai okipoepoeia oia.
This is what I command in all the Churches. Was any one already circumcised when called? Let him not have recourse to the surgeons. Was any one uncircumcised when called? Let him remain uncircumcised.
19 He mea ole ke okipoepoeia, he mea ole ke okipoepoe ole ia, aka, o ka malama ana i na kanawai o ke Akua.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: obedience to God's commandments is everything.
20 E noho no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka mea ana i hana'i i ka wa i heaia mai ai oia.
Whatever be the condition in life in which a man was, when he was called, in that let him continue.
21 Ina i heaia mai oe, e hookanwa ana, mai manao oe ia mea; aka, ina e hiki ke kuu wale ia mai oe, e hele no.
Were you a slave when God called you? Let not that weigh on your mind. And yet if you can get your freedom, take advantage of the opportunity.
22 No ka mea, o ke kauwa i heaia mai e ka Haku, oia ka ka Haku i kuu ai. Pela hoi o ka mea paa ole i heaia mai, oia hoi ke kauwa a Kristo.
For a Christian, if he was a slave when called, is the Lord's freed man, and in the same way a free man, if called, becomes the slave of Christ.
23 Ua kuaiia oukou me ke kumu, mai lilo oukou i poe hahai i kanaka.
You have all been redeemed at infinite cost: do not become slaves to men.
24 E na hoahanau, e noho no kela kanaka keia kanaka me ke Akua, ma ka mea ana i heaia mai ai.
Where each one stood when he was called, there, brethren, let him still stand--close to God.
25 No ka poe puupaa, aole na ka Haku mai ka'u kauoha. Ke hai aku nei no hoi au i ko'u manao, e like me ka mea i malama pono, no ka loaa ana mai o ka lokomaikai o ka Haku.
Concerning unmarried women I have no command to give you from the Lord; but I offer you my opinion, which is that of a man who, through the Lord's mercy, is deserving of your confidence.
26 Ke manao nei au, he mea maikai keia, no ka popilikia o keia wa, he mea maikai no ke kane ke noho wale pela.
I think then that, taking into consideration the distress which is now upon us, it is well for a man to remain as he is.
27 A i paa oe i ka wahine, ea, mai imi oe i ka mea e wehe ai. A i kaawale oe i ka wahine, mai imi oe i wahine nau.
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to get free. Are you free from the marriage bond? Do not seek for a wife.
28 Aka, ina i mare oe, aole oe i hewa; a ina i mare ka wahine puupaa, aole ia i hewa; aka hoi, e loaa auanei i ua poe la ka pilikia ma ke kino; aka, ke kuu aku nei au ia oukou.
Yet if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. Such people, however, will have outward trouble. But I am for sparing you.
29 Ke olelo aku nei no hoi au i keia, e na hoahanau, ma keia hope aku ka wa pilikia; nolaila, o ka mea wahine, e lilo ia i mea like me ka mea wahine ole:
Yet of this I warn you, brethren: the time has been shortened--so that henceforth those who have wives should be as though they had none,
30 A o ka mea uwe, e like me ka mea uwe ole; a o ka poe olioli, e like me ka poe olioli ole; a o ka poe kuai, e like me ka poe nele;
those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,
31 A o ka poe malama i na mea o keia ao, e like me ka poe malama ole. No ka mea, e nalo ae ana ke ano o keia ao.
and those who use the world as not using it to the full. For the world as it now exists is passing away.
32 O ko'u makemake keia, i ole oukou e pilikia ma ka manao. O ka mea i mare ole ia, ua manao no ia i ko ka Haku, i ka mea e lealea mai ai ka Haku.
And I would have you free from worldly anxiety. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's business--how he shall please the Lord;
33 A o ka mea i mareia, manao no ia i na mea o keia ao, i mea e lealea mai ai ka wahine.
but a married man concerns himself with the business of the world--how he shall please his wife.
34 Ua okoa no ka wahine i mareia, okoa ka wahine puupaa. O ka wahine i mare ole ia, ua manao no ia i na mea o ka Haku, i laa ia ma ke kino, a me ka naau; a o ka mea i mareia, manao no ia i na mea o keia ao, i mea e lealea ai ke kane,
There is a difference too between a married and an unmarried woman. She who is unmarried concerns herself with the Lord's business--that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman concerns herself with the business of the world--how she shall please her husband.
35 Ke olelo aku nei au i keia i mea e pono ai oukou; aole e hoohihia ai oukou, no ka pono nae, i malama oukou i ka Haku, me ka ikaika a me ka hihia ole.
Thus much I say in your own interest; not to lay a trap for you, but to help towards what is becoming, and enable you to wait on the Lord without distraction.
36 Aka, ina e manao kekahi, ua pono ole kana hana ana i kana kaikamahine puupaa, ina i hala kona wa i oo ai, a ina pono pela, e hana no ia i kona makemake, aole ia i hewa; e mare lakou.
If, however, a father thinks he is acting unbecomingly towards his still unmarried daughter if she be past the bloom of her youth, and so the matter is urgent, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin; she and her suitor should be allowed to marry.
37 Aka, o ka mea ku paa ma ka naau, aole hoi i pilikia, a ua lanakila hoi maluna o kona makemake iho, a ua manao pono maloko o kona naau, e malama pela i kana kaikamahine, ua pono no kana hana ana.
But if a father stands firm in his resolve, being free from all external constraint and having a legal right to act as he pleases, and in his own mind has come to the decision to keep his daughter unmarried, he will do well.
38 Nolaila, o ka mea haawi ma ka mare, ua hana pono ia, a o ka mea haawi ole ma ka mare, ua hana pono loa ia.
So that he who gives his daughter in marriage does well, and yet he who does not give her in marriage will do better.
39 Ua paa ka wahine, i ka wa a pau e ola ana kana kane; aka, ina i make kana kane, ua pono ia ke mare aku i ka mea ana e makemake ai; iloko hoi o ka Haku.
A woman is bound to her husband during the whole period that he lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she will, provided that he is a Christian.
40 I ko'u manao hoi, ua oi aku kona pomaikai, ke noho ia pela; a ke manao nei au, ua loaa ia'u ka Uhane o ke Akua.
But in my judgement, her state is a more enviable one if she remains as she is; and I also think that I have the Spirit of God.
