1 Abhakorintho 7
1 Okulubhana na magambo ganu nabhandikiye: Gulio omwanya guli gwa kisi omulume asige omama no mugasi wae.
Now concerning the things about which you wrote: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nawe kulwokusakwa kwamfu kwo bhusiani jiile bhuli mulume abhe no mugasi wae, na bhuli mugasi abhe nomulume wae.
But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Omulume jimwiile okumuyana omugasi wae agobhutwasi, kutyo kutyo nomugasi ona amuyane omulume wae.
Let the husband fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
4 Omugasi atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omulume. Na kutyo kutyo, omulume atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omugasi wae anabhwo.
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
5 Mutajaga kwiima mukamama amwi, tali mwikilishanyishe kwo mwanya gwakisi. Mukole kutyo koleleki mubhone omwanya gwo kusabha. Mukamala omutula okusubhilana lindi amwi, Koleleki Shetani ataja kubhalegeja kwo kubhulwa indengo.
Do not deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 Nawe anaika amagambo ganu bila kulazimisha na gatali chilagilo.
But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7 Enisigombela bhuli umwi akabhee kama anye kutyo nili. Nawe bhuli munu ana echiyanwa chae okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Unu ana echiyanwa chinu, na uliya ana echiyanwa chiliya.
Yet I wish that all people were like me. However each one has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
8 Kubhanu bhatatwawe na bhatumba gasi enaikati, nijakisi kubhene ati bhakasigae bila kutwalwa, lwakutyo anye nili.
But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9 Nawe labha bhatakutula kwiganya, jibheile bhatwalwe. Kulwokubha akili okutwalwa bhataja kuligilana.
But if they do not have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.
10 Woli kubhanu bhatwawe enibhayana echilagilo, atali anye tali ni Latabhugenyi. “Omugasi ataja kusigana no mulume wae.”
But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
11 Nawe labha akasoka kumulume wae, asigale kutyo ataja kutwalwa kala jili kutyo angwane no mulume wae. Na “Omulume atamuyana omugasi wae inyalubha yo kumulema
(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
12 Nawe kubhanu bhasigae, enaika anye ati, atali Latabhugenyi- ati labha alio omuili ali no mugasi atali mwikilisha na ekilisishe okwikala nage, jitamwiile kumusiga.
But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
13 Labha omugasi ali no mulume unu atali mwikilisha, na labha ekilisishe okwikala nage, atamusiga.
The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 Kumulume unu atali mwikilisha kesibhwa okulubhana ne likilisha lyo mugasi wae. No mugasi unu atali mwikilisha kesibhwa kwa insonga yomulume wae omwikilisha. Kenda bhitali kutyo abhana bhemwe bhakabhee bhatali bhelu, nawe kuchimali bhesibhwe.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 Nawe atekilisishe akagenda nagende. Kulwejo, omulawasu no muyala wasu atakubhwohya ne bhilailo bhyebhwe. Nyamuanga achibhilikiye chikale kwo mulembe.
Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called you to peace.
16 Oumenya atiki labha omugasi, labha ulimuchungula omulume wao? Angu oumenya atiki labha omulume, alimukisha omugasi wae?
For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 Bhuli umwi ekale obhulame lwakutyo Latabhugenyi abhagabhiye, bhuli umwi lwakutyo Nyamuanga abhabhilikiye abhene. Bhunu nibhwo obhwisombolo bhwani ku makanisa gona.
Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the churches.
18 Alio unu aliga atendelwe anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha? Atalegeja okusoshao olunyamo lwo kutendwa kwae. Alio wona wona unu abhilikiwe mukwikilisha achali kutendwa? Jitamwiile kutendwa.
Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19 Kulinu abhe atendelwe nolo akabha atatendelwe chitalio chibhibhi. Chinu chili chibhibhi ni kulema okugwata ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 Bhuli umwi asigale mukubhilikilwa kwae kutyo aliga anu abhilikiwe na Nyamuanga okwikilisha.
Let each person stay in that calling in which he was called.
21 Aliga uli mugaya omwanya gunu Nyamuanga akubhilikiye? Siga okusaswa elyo. Nawe labha outula okwitanya, kola kutyo.
Were you called being a slave? Do not let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
22 Kuumwi unu abhilikiwe na Latabhugenyi kuti mugaya ni munu unu ketanya ku Latabhugenyi. Lwakutyo, oumwi unu ketanya anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha ni mugaya wa Kristo.
For he who was called in the Lord being a slave is the Lord's free person. Likewise he who was called being free is Messiah's slave.
23 Mwamalile kugulwa kwo bhugusi bhunene, kulwejo mutaja kubha bhagaya bha bhanu.
You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of people.
24 Bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, mubhulame bhwona bhwona bhuli umwi weswe kutyo chabhilikiwe okwikilisha, chisigale lwakutyo chili.
Brothers, let each one, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
25 Woli, bhanu bhona bhachali kutwala, ntana chilagilo okusoka ku Latabhugenyi. Nawe enibhayana obhwiganilisha bhwani kutyo bhuli. Kwe chigongo cha Latabhugenyi, jinu ejiikanyibhwa.
Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
26 Kulwejo, eniganilisha kutyo kwa insonga yo kunyansibhwa, nijakisi omulume asigale kutyo ali.
I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a person to remain as he is.
27 Ubhoelwe no mugasi kwe chilailo cho bhutwasi? Utaja kwenda kwitanya okusoka mwicho. Uli no kwitanya okusoka ku mugasi angu uchali kutwalwa? Utayenja mugasi.
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
28 Nawe labha ukatwala, uchali kukola chibhibhi. Nalabha omugasi achali kutwalwa akatwalwa, achali kukola chibhibhi. Bado bhanu abhatwalana abhabhona jinyako jabhuli mbaga. Anye enenda nibhakishe nago.
But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
29 Nawe enaikati, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu omwanya ni mufuyi. Okusoka woli no kugendelela, bhanu bhali na bhagasi bhekale kuti bhatanabho.
But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, those who have wives should be as though they had none;
30 Bhona bhanu bhajubhile bhekole kuti bhaliga bhatajubhile, na bhona bhanu bhakondelewe kuti bhatakondelewe, na bhona bhanu abhagula echinu chona chona, kuti bhachaliga kubha na chinu chona chona.
and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
31 Nabhona bhanu abhafulubhenda nechalo, bhabhe kuti bhatakufulubhenda nacho. Kulwokubha ebhyainsi bhyajokinga kubhutelo bhwabhyo.
and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the form of this world is passing away.
32 Enenda mubhe no bhwiyaganyulo munyanko jona. Omulume atakutwala afulubhende ne bhinu bhinu bhimwiile Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omwene.
But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
33 Nawe omulume unu atwae kafulubhendela amagambo gechalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omugasi wae,
but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
34 aulene. Omugasi unu atatwawe amwi muyala juma unu kafulubhendela ingulu ye bhinu bhya Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kwiyaula kubhyomubhili no mwoyo. Nawe omugasi unu atwawe kafulubhenda ingulu ye bhinu bhya kuchalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omulume wae.
and is divided. And the woman that is unmarried, or a virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the one that is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 Enaika kutya ingulu ya libhona lyemwe, na ntatulileo omutego kwimwe. Enaika kutya kwokubha ni chimali, koleleki omutula okwitula mukolelega Latabhugenyi mutabha na chikujulo chona chona.
This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
36 Nawe labha omunu keganilisha atakutula kumukolela kwa lisima omuyala juma wae, kwa insonga yo bwiganilisha bhae bhuna amanaga muno, siga atwalane nage kutyo kenda. Chitalio chibhibhi.
But if anyone thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He does not sin. Let them marry.
37 Nawe labha akolele obhulamusi okulema okutwala, na chitalio chinu cha bhusibhusi, na labha katula okutangasha inamba yae, kakola jansonga labha akalema omutwala.
But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.
38 Kulwejo, unu kamutwala omuyala juma wae kakola jabhwana, na wona wona unu kasola okulema okutwala kakola jabhwana muno.
So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage does better.
39 Omugasi abhoelwe no mulume wae omwanya gunu achali kufwa. Nawe omulume akafwa, Ali no bhwiyaganyulo okutwalibhwa na wona wona unu kamwenda, nawe ni mu Latabhugenyi ela.
A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
40 Nchali mubhulamusi bhwani, kabha nalikondelewe enene muno akekala kutyo alila. Na eniganilisha ati anyona nino Mwoyo gwa Nyamuanga.
But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.
