1 Ukorontiyawa 7
1 Barki timumu sa anyetike, “Ya wuna uree unubu kati ma dari uneh ba.”
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Barki timumu ti madini sa ta wuna gbardang, ya wuna uri kondi uya yana uruma macukono nan uneh ume kondi uya uneh macukuno nan uruma ume.
But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Kondi uya unakuru ma nya uneh umeme Imum be sa ma nyara, kondi uya uneh ma nya uruma, umeme Imum inyra inipum.
Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 Uneh mazo inu bezi ini pum nume ba urama mani inipum nu neh um, ane ani, uruma mazo unu bezi ini pum nume ba uneh me mani.
The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.
5 Kati in Karti ace ashi inapum ashe ba, se inka konde avi ma hem, wuza ani me barki ibenki ance in biringara iduku saku ugur na, barki kati bibe bi buru bi rangi shi barki uzatu meki ace ashi me.
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.
6 In boshi anime barki kati imum me icorno me, azo ma wuna shi ba.
But this I say by way of permission, not of commandment.
7 Ma nyara ko da vi macukuno kasi mi, barki ani me koda vi mazi nu aye urizo ume, uye mazi nu sanda urizo uge uye ugino.
Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8 Ahira anu zatu anyah nan anu zatu anu ruma, ya wuna uree wa cukuno sarrki anyah, kasi uzina um.
But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 Barki anime inka wada ke wa meki ace awa ba, ya wuna uree wa wuzi anyah, Iteki uni ree wa wuza anyah inu guna wa ceki gmei ma aje.
But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10 Ahira ana tinyah, in nyiza ti tize ti ge me - azo me ba, ugomo Asere mani “Kati uneh ma ceki uruma ume ba”.
But unto the married I give charge, [yea] not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband
11 In ka ma ceki uruma umeme, ca ma cukuno sarki anyah nyami ma barka nan uruma umeme, ane ani kati uruma, “ma ceki u me ba.
(but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife.
12 Ahira ukasu anu in gusa azo Asere ba inka ure uhena mazin uneh azo unu tarsa Asere ba, Inka ma hem ma cukuno nan me kati ma ceki me ba.
But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.
13 Inka uneh mazin unu ruma unu zatu tarsa Asere, In ka ma hem ma cukuno nan me, kati ma game uwuza anya nan me ba.
And the woman which hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 Uruma unu zatu ukuba Asere ma cukuno a inko sas barki uneh ume me, uneh uzatu ukabe Asere ma cukuno a inko barki uruma umeme unu kaba Asere barki ane ba ahana ashime wa cukuno ana madini, barki anime we anu inko wani.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 Barki ani inka uroni unu zatu tarsa Asere ma suro, ca a ceki me ma suri, usanda imum igino me, uhenu uruma nan uhenu u eh azo atiri ziza we ini unu mko utize tuwe ba, Asere a titan duru ti cukuno anyimo a masaa.
Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us in peace.
16 Ane ni urusa awu uneh, ma madi buri uruma uwe me? Nani aneni huu uruma udi buri uneh uweme?
For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17 Ca konda avi ma wuzi Imum besa ugomo Asere a inko me, ane ani Asere atita me, Ine ni ubuka a ko di uya udenge Asere.
Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.
18 Unu mazin nigbari uganiya sa a titi me ukaba Asere? Kati ma wuzi dibe ukunna utize, unu mazo me ini gbari uganiya a titi me ukaba utize? Kati ma nyari nigbari.
Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Nigbari nan uzatu unigbari azo ine ini anyara ba, Imum Idang me ine ukunna utize nan u inko utize ta Asere.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 Konde avi ma tunno anyimo utita sa Asere atitime uganiya sa ma kabi tize ta Asere.
Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called.
21 Huu urere mani uganiya sa Asere a titi we? Kati u inki iriba in aneba, inka uzin unu ira upitii kati uwuzi ane ba.
Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: but if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.
22 Barki desa Asere atiti me uganiya sa mazi urere, ma buru we Asere ane ani desa abura me uhana ukaba Asere, urere Asere mani akwa shi ini kirfi idang barki kati icukuno arere anabu.
For he that was called in the Lord, being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he that was called, being free, is Christ’s bondservant.
23 A kpi shi in nu kalu kati icukuno arere anuba.
Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men.
24 Anu henu ukodi ya uganiya sa ko da avi uru ma ra anyimo a titi duru uhana kaba utize ta Asere, ca ti cukono anime.
Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
25 Andesa da wamu wuza anyah ba, inzom un ure ubuku ba in ani me ingusa desa a hira anipum na Asere, icukuno ani me.
Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
26 Barki ani me in hira barki tize ti buru sa ti hana azo inu dadon kino ba, ya wuna uri inu ma cukuno anime.
I think therefore that this is good by reason of the present distress, [namely], that it is good for a man to be as he is.
27 Wa tira vanu eh? Kati unyari ubuka ahira ameme, Da wa tira vanu eh? Kati unyari anya nan vanu eh.
Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 Barki anime inka wa wuza anya da wa wuza inium imadini ba, in ka vanu eh unu zata anya ma wuza anya, da ma wuza madini ba, in ka vanu eh unu zata anya ma wuza anya, da ma wuza madini ba, se andesa wa wuza anya wadi ziti sasas uganiya sa wa zin ini vai, in kuri inyari uhara uwe.
But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.
29 Barki in boo uhenu uganiya wa aka: ca ande sa wa zin ina neh wazi ticukum kas ande sa wa zin we ba.
But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;
30 Ana aso wa cukuno kasi anu zatu aso, anu apuru arum kasi anu zatu apuru arum, anu kpija itimumu kasi anu zatu imum.
and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;
31 Ande sa wa wuza tanu nan unee kasi ande sa wa ha nan uni ba, barki tamu tu nee ta aye ubinani umara.
and those that use the world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32 In nyara in suri anyimo uba bgardang, unu zatu anyai mazi nu basa abanga Asere, ane ni madi kabi me.
But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33 Una nya ma basa abanga a timumu tunee, aneni madi hem uneh ume.
but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
34 Iriba imeme ya harzina. Uneh unu zatu anya mazinu basa u timumun ti ugomo Asere, ane ani madi inki nice nume in bibe ba Asere. Uneh una nya mazinu basa abanga unee, aneni madi hem unu ruma umeme.
And there is a difference also between the wife and the virgin. She that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 In boshi anime barki ubasa ushi uni, azo barki in gbari shi ba. Ma buka ani barki imum besa izi anime, kasi usanda utarsa Asere sa muriba mushi ma harzina ba.
And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36 Inka uye ma basa unuguna imum be sa ya kem kubura kumeme - Inka ma aka tiwe ta nya, ani me ya cukuna - ma wuzi imum be sa ma nyara. Azo madini mani mazinu wuza ba. Ca wa wuzi anya.
But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.
37 Barki anime inka ma tonno ini kara iribe, imeme, inka mada siza me ubusara ba, mada kem ma inta nice numeme memmerun, ma kuri ma tira iriba imeme ma wuzi ani me, ma rusi utarsa in kubura kumeme ya wuna uri.
But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin [daughter], shall do well.
38 Barki anime, sede sa ma wuza anya nan kubura kumeme ya wuna uri, me desa ma zauka uwuza anya ma wuza memmerun.
So then both he that giveth his own virgin [daughter] in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better.
39 A tiriza uneh barki uruma, u vat ticukum tumeme. Barki anime inka uruma ma wono, ma da ke ma wuzi anya nan desa sa hem nan me, ca ma wuzi anyimo Asere.
A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40 U ira um, madi teki ini riba irum. In kuri in basa izin in bibe ba Asere.
But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
