1 Corintios 7

1 Chanim kꞌut are kintzijoj rij ri jastaq ri xitzꞌibꞌaj loq chwe. Qas utz we ri achi man kaqꞌoyiꞌ ta rukꞌ jun ixoq.

Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.

2 Xa kꞌu rumal ri makaj ri kakibꞌan achyabꞌ kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri ixoqibꞌ kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ, are utz we ri achi kutzukuj rixoqil xuqujeꞌ ri ixoq kutzukuj rachajil.

Nevertheless, [to avoid] lewdness, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3 Rajawaxik kꞌut ri achi kubꞌan rukꞌ ri rixoqil ri rajawaxik ubꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ ri ixoq kubꞌan rukꞌ ri rachajil ri rajawaxik ubꞌanik.

Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband.

4 Man are ta ri ixoq kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri utyoꞌjal, xane are ri rachajil. Man are ta xuqujeꞌ ri achajilom kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri utyoꞌjal xane are ri rixoqil.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5 Mixuꞌyaj bꞌa iwibꞌ chibꞌil iwibꞌ. Xane xwi chiqꞌata iwibꞌ we amaqꞌel kibꞌan chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ junam xichomaj. Mibꞌey iwibꞌ churiqik chi iwibꞌ junmul, rech man kixutaqchiꞌj ta ri itzel pa mak rumal chi man kixkwin taj kiqꞌil iwibꞌ.

Defraud ye not one the other, except with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your incontinence.

6 Xaq xwi kinbꞌij ri utz ubꞌanik, man tajin ta kinya jun taqanik chiꞌwe.

But I speak this by permission, [and] not as a commandment.

7 Qas tzij wi, sibꞌalaj kurayij na kꞌuꞌx we ta je ibꞌanik jetaq ri nubꞌanik in. Jaljoj kꞌu wi ri sipanik ri uyaꞌom ri Dios chaqe. Jun wi ri sipanik yaꞌtal che jun, jun chi wi yaꞌtal che ri jun chik.

For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

8 Kinbꞌij chike ri kꞌamajaꞌ kekꞌuliꞌk xuqujeꞌ chike ri e malkaꞌnibꞌ, utz riꞌ we man kekꞌuliꞌ taj jetaq ri nubꞌanik in.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.

9 We kꞌu man kakiqꞌiꞌo chekꞌulanoq, are katanik we kekꞌuliꞌk cho ri kekꞌat na rumal ri kirayinik.

But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

10 Kinya we taqanik riꞌ chike ri e kꞌulanik winaq (jeꞌ man in taj are ri Ajawxel) ri ixoq mutas ribꞌ che ri rachajil.

And to the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:

11 We kꞌu kujach ri rachajil, makꞌuliꞌ chi bꞌa junmul, xane tzalij rukꞌ ri rachajil. Xuqujeꞌ ri achi mujach ri rixoqil.

But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife.

12 Chike ri nikꞌaj chik kinbꞌij (man utaqanik ta ri Ajawxel waꞌ we riꞌ): we kꞌo ne jun alaxik kuriq jun rixoqil man kojonel taj, karaj kꞌu ri ixoq kakꞌojiꞌ rukꞌ, mujacho.

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

13 We kꞌu are ri rachajil ri ixoq man kojonel taj, karaj kꞌu ri achi kakꞌojiꞌ rukꞌ, mujach ri ixoq ri rachajil.

And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

14 Rumal cher ri achajilom ri man kojonel taj xtyoxirisataj riꞌ rumal ri uriqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri rixoqil, je xuqujeꞌ ri ixoqilom ri man kojonel taj xtyoxirisataj riꞌ rumal ri uriqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ ri rachajil. We ta mat jeriꞌ e chꞌuluj bꞌa riꞌ ri akꞌalabꞌ kekꞌojiꞌk, man e chꞌuluj ta kꞌut xane e tyoxirisatal chik.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

15 Pune jeriꞌ, we ri ukꞌulaj jun ri man kojonel taj karaj kꞌut kujach ribꞌ che ri ukꞌulaj kojonel, miqꞌatej. We jewaꞌ kakꞌulmatajik, ri kojonel man kakanaj ta kanoq chuxeꞌ eqaꞌn. Rumal cher ri Dios xujusikꞌij apanoq rech kujkꞌojiꞌk pa jaꞌmaril.

But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]; but God hath called us to peace.

16 ¿Jas awetaꞌm at ixoq wine awumal awe kakolotaj na ri awachajil? O ¿jas awetaꞌm at achi wine rumal awe kakolotaj na ri awixoqil?

For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save [thy] wife?

17 Chiꞌjujunal bꞌa chibꞌana ri ixusikꞌim wi apanoq ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri ixutaqom chubꞌanik, kintaqanik rech jewaꞌ kabꞌan pa ronojel ri komontyox.

But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

18 Jacha ta ne ri winaq ri xkojonik xuqujeꞌ kojtal retal, man yaꞌtal ta chik katzalix ri sakꞌital che, je xuqujeꞌ ri man kojtal ta retal are xkojonik, man kakoj ta chi retal rumal cher xkojonik.

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not become circumcised.

19 Maj kutayij we sakꞌital jun o man sakꞌital taj. Are kꞌo kutayij we kanimaxik ri utaqanik ri Dios.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20 Chixkꞌol bꞌa ijujunal jawjeꞌ ri ix kꞌo wi are xixusikꞌij apanoq ri Dios.

Let every man continue in the same calling in which he was called.

21 We at ajchak rech jun chik xuqujeꞌ are kabꞌan rech pa awiꞌ man kakꞌaxir taj awanimaꞌ. We kꞌu katkwinik katel pa uqꞌabꞌ ri kabꞌan rech pa awiꞌ, jeꞌlik riꞌ.

Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use [it] rather.

22 Rumal cher ri ajchak are xsikꞌix apanoq rumal ri Ajawxel, xkiritaj riꞌ rumal ri Ajawxel, je xuqujeꞌ ri xsikꞌix apanoq man ajchak taj, xux riꞌ rajchak ri Cristo.

For he that is called in the Lord, [being] a servant, is the Lord's free-man: likewise also he that is called, [being] free, is Christ's servant.

23 Paqal xloqꞌbꞌex iwe. Xaq jeriꞌ man kixtzalij ta chik che rajchak japachinaq.

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

24 Qachalal, chiꞌjujunal chixkꞌoloq jetaq ri ibꞌanik are xixsikꞌix apanoq rumal ri Dios.

Brethren, let every man in the state in which he is called, continue in it with God.

25 Are kꞌu ri majaꞌ kekꞌuliꞌk, man kꞌo ta jun taqanik rech ri Ajawxel ri yaꞌtal chwe rech kinbꞌij chike, kinbꞌij kꞌu ri kinchomaj in, jer ta ne in kꞌo jun ri xyaꞌtaj wi ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios rech in kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx.

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment as one that hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

26 In kinchomaj chi utz we ri winaq je kakanaj kanoq jetaq ri ubꞌanik chanim, jeriꞌ rumal cher kꞌax ri qꞌotaj ri uj kꞌo kamik.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.

27 ¿We at kꞌulanik? Man karayij taj kajach ri akꞌulaj. ¿We man at kꞌulanik? Matzukuj awixoqil.

Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

28 Man katmakun taj we katkꞌuliꞌk. We kꞌu kꞌo jun akꞌal ali kakꞌuliꞌk, man kamakun ta xuqujeꞌ. Pune jeriꞌ, ri winaq ri kekꞌuliꞌk sibꞌalaj kꞌi kꞌax kakiriq na pa ri kityoꞌjal, are kꞌu ri man kawaj ta in kiriqo.

But if thou marry, thou hast not sinned: and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless, such will have trouble in the flesh; but I spare you.

29 Wachalal, ri kawaj kinbꞌij are: xa jubꞌiqꞌ chi ri qꞌotaj ri kakanaj chaqe. Ri e kꞌo kixoqil kibꞌanaꞌ chi jer ta ne e maj kixoqil.

But this I say, brethren, The time [is] short. It remaineth, that both they that have wives, be as though they had none;

30 Ri koꞌqꞌik kibꞌanaꞌ chi jer man koqꞌ taj. Ri kekiꞌkotik kibꞌanaꞌ chi man kekiꞌkot taj. Ri kakiloqꞌ jun jas ke kibꞌanaꞌ chi je ri man xkechabꞌej taj.

And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

31 Ri kakikiꞌkotebꞌej ubꞌanik ri jastaq rech we uwachulew riꞌ, kibꞌana chi je ri man kakikiꞌkotebꞌej taj ubꞌanik. Jeriꞌ rumal cher we uwachulew riꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌo choch kasach na uwach.

And they that use this world, as not abusing [it]. For the fashion of this world passeth away.

32 Kurayij wanimaꞌ in chi man kakꞌaxir taj iwanimaꞌ che taq ri jastaq. Ri akꞌal taq alabꞌom ri man e kꞌulan taj, are kakꞌaxir kikꞌuꞌx che ri jastaq rech ri Ajawxel rech keqaj choch.

But I would have you without anxious care. He that is unmarried, is anxious for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

33 Are kꞌu ri kꞌulanik winaq are kakꞌaxir ranimaꞌ che ri jastaq rech ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ rech kaqaj choch ri rixoqil.

But he that is married, is anxious for the things that are of the world, how he may please [his] wife.

34 Jaljoj ri kakaj. Ri ixoq ri man kꞌulan taj xuqujeꞌ ri akꞌal ali ri man kꞌulan taj, kakꞌaxir ranimaꞌ chuchꞌojchꞌobꞌexik ri tyoꞌjal xuqujeꞌ ri ranimaꞌ rech kaqaj cho ri Ajawxel. Are kꞌu ri kꞌulanik ixoq are kakꞌaxir ranimaꞌ che ri jastaq rech ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ chubꞌanik ri kaqaj choch ri rachajil.

There is a difference [also] between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy, both in body and in spirit: but she that is married, is anxious for the things of the world, how she may please [her] husband.

35 Kinbꞌij we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe rech utz kixelik, man xa ta kixinqꞌatej, xane are kawaj utz ri ikꞌaslemal choch ri Ajawxel.

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

36 We kꞌo ne jun man je ta tajin kubꞌan chi rilik ri ali ri ubꞌim kꞌulanem che xuqujeꞌ we ri ali utz chik kakꞌuliꞌk, rumal riꞌ kunaꞌ ri ala chi utz chik kekꞌuliꞌk, chekꞌulanoq. Man kemakun taj we kekꞌuliꞌk.

But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself uncomely towards his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of [her] age, and need so requireth, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

37 Are kꞌu ri kunaꞌo chi man karaj taj kakꞌuliꞌk xuqujeꞌ kakwinik kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri utyoꞌjal, utz riꞌ ri kanoꞌjinik we xuchomaj chi man kakꞌuliꞌ ta rukꞌ ri ali ri ubꞌim kꞌulanem che.

Nevertheless, he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

38 Je kꞌu riꞌ, utz riꞌ ri kubꞌan jun winaq we kakꞌuliꞌk rukꞌ ri ali ri ubꞌim kꞌulanem, xa kꞌu are sibꞌalaj utz na kubꞌano we man kakꞌuliꞌ rukꞌ.

So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.

39 Ri ixoq nukꞌul rukꞌ ri rachajil are kꞌaslik. We kꞌu kakam ri achajilom, kasolotaj kanoq ri ixoq rech kakꞌuliꞌ chi rukꞌ xapachin ri karaj areꞌ, xwi ta ne wi we pa ri Ajawxel kekꞌuliꞌ wi.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

40 Kinchomaj in chi ri ixoq sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot na we man kakꞌuliꞌ chik. Kinkojo chi kꞌo ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios chwe chubꞌixik we jastaq riꞌ.

But she is happier if she so remain, after my judgment; and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
