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?
Can it be that, when one of you has a dispute with another, they dare to have their case tried before the heathen, instead of before Christ’s people?
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?
Don’t you know that Christ’s people will try the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try the most trivial cases?
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?
Don’t you know that we are to try angels – to say nothing of the affairs of this life?
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?
Why, then, if you have cases relating to the affairs of this life, do you set to try them those who carry no weight with the church? To your shame I ask it.
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?
Can it be that there is not one among you wise enough to decide between two of their fellow followers?
6 Ma lee, nwanna na-akpọrọ nwanna ya aga ụlọ ikpe, ka ndị na-ekweghị ekwe kpee ha ikpe!
Must a follower sue a fellow follower? In front of unbelievers?
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?
To begin with, it is undoubtedly a loss to you to have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather let yourselves be cheated?
8 Ma unu onwe unu na-emejọ, ma na-aghọgbu, ọ bụladị ụmụnna unu nʼime Kraịst.
Instead of this, you wrong and cheat others yourselves – yes, even other followers!
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,
Don’t you know that wrongdoers will have no share in God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived. No one who is immoral, or an idolater, or an adulterer, or licentious, or a sexual pervert,
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.
or a thief, or covetous, or a drunkard, or abusive, or grasping, will have any share in God’s kingdom.
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.
Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ’s people! You were pronounced righteous through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through 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.
Everything is allowable for me! Yes, but everything is not profitable. Everything is allowable for me! Yes, but for my part, I will not let myself be enslaved by anything.
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 exists for the stomach, and the stomach for food; but God will put an end to both the one and the other. The body, however, exists, not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;
14 Chineke mere ka Onyenwe anyị site nʼọnwụ bilie, ọ ga-ejikwa ike ya mee ka anyị si nʼọnwụ bilie.
and, as God has raised the Lord, so he will raise us up also by the exercise of 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!
Don’t you know that your bodies are Christ’s members? Am I, then, to take the members that belong to the Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? Heaven forbid!
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.”
Or don’t you know that a man who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body (for ‘the two,’ it is said, ‘will become one’);
17 Ma onye ọbụla e jikọtara ya na Onyenwe anyị, ya na onye ahụ ga-abụ otu nʼime mmụọ.
while a man who is united with the Lord is one with him in 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.
Shun all immorality. Every other sin that people commit is something outside the body; but an immoral person sins against their 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.
Again, don’t you know that your body is a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you – the Spirit which you have from God?
20 E jiri oke ọnụahịa zọpụta unu. Ya mere jirinụ anụ ahụ unu nye Chineke otuto.
Moreover, you are not your own masters; you were bought, and the price was paid. Therefore, honor God in your bodies.
