1 Korinti 7

1 Hagi mago ne'mo'ma a'ma e'orisiana knare hugahio hutma avompima kre'naza zanku, menina kenona nehue.

With reference to the subjects about which you wrote to me: It would be well for a man to remain single.

2 Na'ankure monko avu'ava'za hu'zanku, mago mago vemo'a agra'a, a' antenkeno, mago mago a'nemo'a agra'a ve antegahie.

But, owing to the prevalence of immorality, I advise every man to have his own wife, and every woman her husband.

3 Vemo'a agra'a a'ene masenkeno, a'mo'a anazanke huno ve'ane masegahie.

A husband should give his wife her due, and a wife her husband.

4 A'mo'a agra'a avufgamofo kva omani'neanagi vemo kva hu'ne. Ana hukna huno vemo'a agra'a avufga kva osu'neanki, a'amo kva hu'ne.

It is not the wife, but the husband, who exercises power over her body; and so, too, it is not the husband, but the wife, who exercises power over his body.

5 Tanavufa eri mago huzankura i'o osi'o. Hianagi mago tanarimpa hutna mago'a kna amne mani'neta, nunamu hanu'e hanuta'a, amne anara hugaha'e. Hianagi anama hutesutna ete ko eme tragoteta mani'o. E'i ana hutna tanavufamofo avesizana kegava nehnakeno, Sata'ma reranaheno ke'niana, evu oramigaha'e.

Do not deprive each other of what is due — unless it is only for a time and by mutual consent, so that your minds may be free for prayer till you again live as man and wife — lest Satan should take advantage of your want of self-control and tempt you.

6 Amagema nehuana nagrama nagesa antahiramua kazigatire, hagi ama kema nehuana ana hihogu tutu hunormantoe.

I say this, however, as a concession, not as a command.

7 Nagra nagesama antahuana, nagrama a' e'ori manuankna hu'za hakare vahe'mo'za manisazegu nehue. Hianagi mago mago'mo'za rumofo rumofo museza Anumzamofonpintira eri'naze.

I should wish every one to be just what I am myself. But every one has his own gift from God — one in one way, and one in another.

8 Arave osu vahe'ene, kento vahe'mota knare'ma hurmantesiana, nagrama mani'noaza huta manisazana knare hugahie.

My advice, then, to those who are not married, and to widows, is this: It would be well for them to remain as I am myself.

9 Hu'neanagi tamavufamofo avesizama kvama hu'za omne'nesige'za, zamatrenke'za ve eri, a' eri hiho. Ana hanagu knare'ma haniana ve eri, a' eri hu'za mani'nesageno monkozamofo zamavesi'zana omanegahie.

But, if they cannot control themselves, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be consumed with passion.

10 Hagi ko'ma arave hu'naza vahe'motarega kasege huneramantoe, nagri kasegeompage Ra Anumzamofo kasege. A'mo'a ve'a otreno.

To those who are married my direction is — yet it is not mine, but the Master’s — that a woman is not to leave her husband

11 (Hu'neanagi anama hanuno'a, atrenkeno ve e'ori amne manino, huge zanarimpa eri mago huke, ete neve'ene, eri hagerafikeno), vemo'a a'amofona otregahie.

(If she has done so, let her remain as she is, or else be reconciled to her husband) and also that a man is not to divorce his wife.

12 Hagi ruga'amotagura anage nehue, Ra Anumzamofo keompage nagra nehue, mago neramafu a'mo amentinti nosnianagi, agri ene muse huno neminsigeno'a, agra nenarona otregahie.

To all others I say — I, not the Master — If a Brother is married to a woman, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with him, he should not divorce her;

13 Anahukna huno mago a'mo eri'nesia vemo, amentinti nosnianagi, agrane muse huno neminsigeno'a, nevena otregahie.

and a woman who is married to a man, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with her, should not divorce her husband.

14 Ana hu'negu amentinti osu ve'mo'a, nenaro'ene maniazamo azeri avusesea nehigeno, amentinti nosia a'mofona neve enema maniazamo, azeri avusesea nehie. Ana'ma osnigeno'a mofavre zagazniamo'a agrua osisine. Hu'neanagi menina zamagrira zamazeri ruotge nehie.

For, through his wife, the husband who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ’s People; and the wife who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ’s People through our Brother whom she has married. Otherwise your children would be ‘defiled,’ but, as it is, they belong to Christ’s People.

15 Hu'neanagi amentinti nosanimo ve atre, a' atre hukuma haniana, zamaze'ori zmatrenke'za ana hiho, amama mani'naza nomani'zampina nerafuno, neresarono mago'zamo'a kina reozmanteno. Hianagi tarimpa frune manisunegu, Ra Anumzamo'a tagi hu'ne.

However, if the unbeliever wishes to be separated, let him be so. Under such circumstances neither the Brother nor the Sister is bound; God has called you to live in peace.

16 Hu'negu inankna hunka a'moka, vekamofo avu'ava'zana antahigahane? Hifi inankna hunka vemoka, akamofo avu'ava'zana antahigahane?

How can you tell, wife, whether you may not save your husband? and how can you tell, husband, whether you may not save your wife?

17 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a magoke magoke'mofoma inankna avamente mani'nesigeno, Anumzamo'ma agima hu'nesimo'a, ana avamente manino. Ama anahukna tra ke miko mono nompina nezamasamue.

In any case, a man should continue to live in the condition which the Lord has allotted to him, and in which he was when God called him. This is the rule that I lay down in every Church.

18 Mago'a vene'nemotma oku tmavufa taga hu'nazageno tamagi hu'nenigetma, tamagra oku tamufgama taga hu'neaza eriso'e hu'zankura maragu'za otiho. Mago'amo'za oku zamufga taga osu'nesage'za, zamagi hu'nesimo'za zamagra oku zamufga taga osiho.

Was a man already circumcised when he was called? Then he should not efface his circumcision. Has a man been called when uncircumcised? Then he should not be circumcised.

19 Avufgama taga hu'zane, avufgama taga osu'zamo'a amane'za me'ne. Hianagi Anumzamofo kasegema amage ante'zamo razana me'ne.

Circumcision is nothing; the want of it is nothing; but to keep the commands of God is everything.

20 Zamatrenke'za mago mago vene'nemo'za ina avamente mani'nageno zamagi hu'ne, ana avamenteke maniho.

Let every one remain in that condition of life in which he was when the Call came to him.

21 Kazokzo eri'za vahe mani'nankeno, Anumzamo'a kagi hu'nefi? E'i zankura kagesa ontahio. Ana hu'neanagi kagrama kankamu me'nesigenka kina vahe'ma omaninaku'ma hanunka, amne kagra anara hugahane.

Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let that trouble you. No, even if you are able to gain your freedom, still do your best.

22 Hu'negu izano, kazokzo eri'za vahe mani'nesigeno, Ramo'ma agi hu'nesimo'a, Ramofompina kina vahera omanigahie. Ana kanteke kina vahe'ma omani'nenigeno agi hunesimo'a, Kraisi kazakzo eri'za vahe manigahie.

For the man who was a slave when he was called to the master’s service is the Master’s freed-man; so, too, the man who was free when called is Christ’s slave.

23 Tamagrira tusi'a mizanteti ko miza seramante'neanki, vahe'mokizmi kazokzo eri'za vahera omaniho.

You were bought, and the price was paid. Do not let yourselves become slaves to men.

24 Inankna kante mago'mo'a mani'negeno agi hu'ne, nenfuga nensaroga, atregeno ana kante Anumzamofompina manino.

Brothers, let every one remain in the condition in which he was when he was called, in close communion with God.

25 Arave osu vaheku'ma nantahige'naza zankura Anumzantegatira mago kasegea e'ori'noe. Hu'neanagi nagrira Ramo'a asunku zama'areti huvempa hunantege'na mani'nomo'na, nagrani'a antahi'za huama nehue.

With regard to unmarried women, I have no command from the Master to give you, but I tell you my opinion, and it is that of a man whom the Master in his mercy has made worthy to be trusted.

26 Hu'negu nagrama antahuana, menima fore nehia hazenke'zampina, ana ne'mo mani'nesia kante'ma mani'nigeno'a, so'e hugahie.

I think, then, that, in view of the time of suffering that has now come upon us, what I have already said is best — that a man should remain as he is.

27 Ko'ma, a'ma eri'nesunka, a'kamofo atre zankura ontahio. A'ma eritenka atrenesunka, a'ma erizankura ohakro.

Are you married to a wife? Then do not seek to be separated. Are you separated from a wife? Then do not seek for a wife.

28 Hu'neanagi arave hu'nesamoka, kumira osu'nane. Hu'negu vene omase mofa'mo aravema haniana, kumira osugahie. Ana hugahianagi, aravema hanimo'a ana nomanizampina rama'a knazampi ufregahie. Tamaza hanigu ama nanekea nehue.

still, if you should marry, that is not wrong; nor, if a young woman marries, is that wrong. But those who marry will have much trouble to bear, and my wish is to spare you.

29 E'igu amanage hu'na nehue, nenfugata nensarogata, knamo'a atupa hu'negu, aza'o a'ma antenesimo'a, a' onte vahekna huno manino.

What I mean, Brothers, is this — the time is short. Meanwhile, let those who have wives live as if they had none,

30 Zamavunu nehanimo'za zavi ote vahekna hu'za maninkeno, musema nehanaza vahe'mo'za muse osu vahe kna hanageno, fenoma mizanesesimo'a, fenoma'a omane vahe kna huno manino.

those who are weeping as if not weeping, those who are rejoicing as if not rejoicing, those who buy as if not possessing,

31 Ama mopafi zama eri'nenimofona atrenkeno anazamo'a razana oseno. Na'ankure ama mopane anampima menima me'neazamo'a, fanene hugahie.

and those who use the good things of the world as using them sparingly; for this world as we see it is passing away.

32 Nagrama nentahuana ama mopafi zankura antahintahi hakarea osihogu nehue. Aravema osu'nea ne'mo'a, Ramofonku antahintahi nehuno, Ramofo azeri muse huzankuke nehie.

I want you to be free from anxiety. The unmarried man is anxious about the Master’s Cause, desiring to please him;

33 Hu'neanagi arave hu'nesia ne'mo'a, ama mopafi zanku antahintahi'amo'a nehigeno nenaro azeri muse huzanku nentahie.

while the married man is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please his wife;

34 Ana hu'negenokino ana ne'mofona avesi'zamo'a fako nehie. Arave osu a'mo'o, mofamo'enena Ramofo zanku antahintahi neha'e. Avufgare ene avamupina ruotage huno mani'zankuke nehie. Hu'neanagi arave hu'nenia a'mo'a, ama mopafi zanku antahintahi nehuno, nevena inankna hu'na azeri muse hugahue nehie.

and so his interests are divided. Again, the unmarried woman, whether she is old or young, is anxious about the Master’s Cause, striving to be pure both in body and in spirit, while the married woman is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please her husband.

35 E'i ama ke'ma nehuana, tamagri'ma tamazeri hanavetinigu nehu'na, i'o hunoramante'na tamazeri amuho nosue. Hu'neanagi mopafizamo tamazeri fako hinketa, havizampina uofreta Ramofonte hanavetita manihogu neramasamue.

I say this for your own benefit, not with any intention of putting a halter round your necks, but in order to secure for the Master seemly and constant devotion, free from all distraction.

36 Hianagi mago ne'mo'ma vene omase mofa a'erinaku'ma nehanigeno'a, ve erigahie huno huntenesia knamo agateresigeno, a'eri avesizamo'ma ra hanigeno'a, akoheno omaniga osaniana, e'i kumira omneneanki atrenkeno arave hino.

If, however, a father thinks that he is not acting fairly by his unmarried daughter, when she is past her youth, and if under these circumstances her marriage ought to take place, let him act as he thinks right. He is doing nothing wrong — let the marriage take place.

37 Hu'neanagi mago ne'mo'ma antahintahi'afi huvempama huno, a' e'origahue huno hu'nesuno'a, agra avesizama kegava nehuno hantka hantako osnigeno'a knare hugahie.

On the other hand, a father, who has definitely made up his mind, and is under no compulsion, but is free to carry out his own wishes, and who has come to the decision, in his own mind, to keep his unmarried daughter at home will be doing right.

38 Hu'negu agra'a vene omase mofa'ma a'ma erigahie hu'nesimofoma a'ma erisiana knare hugahie. Hu'neanagi aza'o a'ma e'orimo'a knare zantfa hu'ne.

In short, the one who consents to his daughter’s marriage is doing right, and yet the other will be doing better.

39 Hagi neve'ma ofrino mani'nesigeno'a, nenaro'a neve a' tfa mani'neanangi, neve'ma frisigeno'a amane Ramofonte mani'nesia vea erigahie.

A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but, if the husband should pass to his rest, the widow is free to marry any one she wishes, provided he is a believer.

40 Hu'neanagi nagrama antahuana, ana a'moma vema e'o'ri'ma amanema manisiana, rama'a muse hugahie. Nagrama antahuana Anumzamofo Avamu'mo nasamianke nermasamue hu'na nehue.

Yet she will be happier if she remains as she is — in my opinion, for I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
