< 1 Ndị Kọrint 6 >
1 Mgbe onye ọbụla nʼetiti unu nwere esemokwu megide ibe ya, unu ọ pụrụ i buru okwu ahụ gaa nʼụlọikpe ka ndị ajọ omume kpeere unu ikpe, karịa ịga ya nʼihu ndị nsọ?
How is it that anyone of you, having a dispute against another, would dare to be judged before the iniquitous, and not before the saints?
2 Ọ bụ na unu amabeghị na ọ bụ ndị nsọ ga-ekpe ụwa ikpe? Ọ bụrụkwa na unu ga-ekpe ụwa ikpe, ọ pụtara na unu etozughị oke idozi okwu ntakịrị dapụtara nʼetiti unu?
Or do you not know that the saints from this age shall judge it? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy, then, to judge even the smallest matters?
3 Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na ọ bụ anyị ga-ekpe ndị mmụọ ozi ikpe? Gịnị ga-emekwa ka anyị ghara idozi okwu ụka dịkarịsịrị nta nke ndụ a?
Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more the things of this age?
4 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na esemokwu dị otu a adapụta nʼetiti unu, unu ga-ewere okwu ahụ jekwuru ndị ibi ndụ ha na-akpọ nzukọ ihe efu ka ha kpee ya?
Therefore, if you have matters to judge concerning this age, why not appoint those who are most contemptible in the Church to judge these things!
5 Ana m ekwu nke a ime ka ihere mee unu. Ọ ga-abụ na e nweghị ike ịchọta ọ bụladị otu onye maara ihe nʼetiti unu, onye ga na-ekpe ikpe dị nʼetiti nwanna na ibe ya?
But I am speaking so as to shame you. Is there no one among you wise enough, so that he might be able to judge between his brothers?
6 Ma lee, nwanna na-akpọrọ nwanna ya aga ụlọ ikpe, ka ndị na-ekweghị ekwe kpee ha ikpe!
Instead, brother contends against brother in court, and this before the unfaithful!
7 Ebe unu na-enwe esemokwu nke ikpe ikpe nʼetiti unu, ọ pụtara na unu bụ ndị emeriri kpamkpam. Nʼihi gịnị ka unu na-adịghị ekwe ka emejọ unu? Nʼihi gịnị ka unu na-adịghị ekwe ka a ghọgbuo unu?
Now there is certainly an offense among you, beyond everything else, when you have court cases against one another. Should you not accept injury instead? Should you not endure being cheated instead?
8 Ma unu onwe unu na-emejọ, ma na-aghọgbu, ọ bụladị ụmụnna unu nʼime Kraịst.
But you are doing the injuring and the cheating, and this toward brothers!
9 Ọ bụ na unu amaghị na ndị na-eme ajọ omume dị otu a enweghị oke ọbụla nʼalaeze Chineke? Unu ekwela ka eduhie unu. Nʼihi na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-akwa iko, na ndị na-efe arụsị, ndị ikom nwere nwunye na-akwa iko, na ndị ikom na-eji ndị ikom ibe ha akwa iko,
Do you not know that the iniquitous will not possess the kingdom of God? Do not choose to wander astray. For neither fornicators, nor servants of idolatry, nor adulterers,
10 ndị niile na-ezu ohi, ndị anya ukwu, ndị na-aṅụbiga mmanya oke, ndị nkwutọ, maọbụ ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe ha nwere, agaghị eketa oke nʼalaeze Chineke.
nor the effeminate, nor males who sleep with males, nor thieves, nor the avaricious, nor the inebriated, nor slanderers, nor the rapacious shall possess the kingdom of God.
11 Na mbụ, ụfọdụ nʼime unu na-ebi ndụ dị otu a. Ma ugbu a, a sachapụla mmehie unu, doo unu nsọ nye Chineke. Ọ bụkwa site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst na nʼime Mmụọ nke Chineke anyị ka a gụrụ unu ka ndị ezi omume.
And some of you were like this. But you have been absolved, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified: all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
12 Ị na-asị, “Enwere m ike ime ihe niile m maara na m kwesiri ime,” ma ọ bụghị ihe niile ga-abara m uru. “Enwere m ike ime ihe niile m maara ziri ezi,” ma a gaghị ekwe ka ihe ọbụla na-achị m.
All is lawful to me, but not all is expedient. All is lawful to me, but I will not be driven back by the authority of anyone.
13 Unu na-asị, “E mere ihe oriri maka afọ, meekwa afọ maka ihe oriri, ma Chineke ga-emebi ma afọ ma ihe oriri.” Ekeghị ahụ anyị maka ịkwa iko, kama o mere ya maka Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị dịkwa maka ahụ anyị.
Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food. But God shall destroy both the stomach and food. And the body is not for fornication, but rather for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body.
14 Chineke mere ka Onyenwe anyị site nʼọnwụ bilie, ọ ga-ejikwa ike ya mee ka anyị si nʼọnwụ bilie.
Truly, God has raised up the Lord, and he will raise us up by his power.
15 Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na ahụ unu bụ akụkụ ahụ Kraịst? Ọ dị mma na m ga-eji ahụ Kraịst mee ka e jikọtaa ya na ahụ nwanyị akwụna? Tụfiaa!
Do you not know that your bodies are a part of Christ? So then, should I take a part of Christ and make it a part of a harlot? Let it not be so!
16 Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na onye ya na nwanyị akwụna na-enwe mmekọrịta, ya na nwanyị ahụ bụ otu ahụ? Nʼihi na e kwuru, “Ha abụọ ga-abụ otu anụ ahụ.”
And do you not know that whoever is joined to a harlot becomes one body? “For the two,” he said, “shall be as one flesh.”
17 Ma onye ọbụla e jikọtara ya na Onyenwe anyị, ya na onye ahụ ga-abụ otu nʼime mmụọ.
But whoever is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
18 Gbaaranụ mmehie ịkwa iko ọsọ. Ọ dịghị mmehie ọzọ na-emetụta anụ ahụ mmadụ dịka mmehie ịkwa iko. Ọ bụ mmehie mmadụ na-eme megide anụ ahụ ya.
Flee from fornication. Every sin whatsoever that a man commits is outside of the body, but whoever fornicates, sins against his own body.
19 Ọ bụ na unu amataghị na ahụ unu bụ ụlọnsọ nke Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ Chineke nyere unu, onye bi nʼime unu? Anụ ahụ unu abụkwaghị nke unu onwe unu, kama unu bụ nke Chineke.
Or do you not know that your bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
20 E jiri oke ọnụahịa zọpụta unu. Ya mere jirinụ anụ ahụ unu nye Chineke otuto.
For you have been bought at a great price. Glorify and carry God in your body.
