1 Va Korinte 7
1 Hanu ku wamana ni ndava zi mu va ñoli: “Kulotu kuti mukwame sanzi akwati mukurwakazi.”
But concerning those things about which you wrote to me: That it is good for a man not to receive a wife:
2 Kono vakeñi cha miliko mingi ya vuvuki, zumwi ni zumwi mukwame ave ni mukurwakazi, mi zumwi ni zumwi mukurwakazi ave ni mukwam'a kwe.
but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Mukwame u swanela kuha iswanelo zakwe ku mukurwakazi, mi ku ve vulyo ni ku mukurwakazi ku mukwam'a kwe.
Let the husband give to the wife that which is due, and likewise the wife also to the husband.
4 Kena kuti mukurwakazi wina mulao ku muvili wakwe, kono mukwame. Mi kuswana vulyo, ku mukwame kena mulao ku muvili wakwe, kono mukurwakazi.
The wife has not the authority over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not the authority over his own body, but the wife.
5 Sanzi mu lichengi inwe muvene, kono cha kuzumizana mi che inako iswanela. Mu tende vulyo kuti muve vena inako ya kulapela. Linu mu volisane hamwina hape, ku tendela kuti javulusi sanzi amiliki kuti mwa vula kulisepa.
Do not defraud one another, unless it may be with consent for a time, that you may give attention to prayer, and again come together, in order that Satan may not tempt you on account of your incontinency.
6 Kono ni cho izi zintu kwenu sina muhupulo isinyi cha kulaela.
But I speak this according to knowledge, not according to commandment.
7 Ni lakaza kuti kambe zumwi ni zumwi u swana sina njeme mu ni kalile. Kono zumwi ni zumwi wina impo yakwe izwa kwa Ireeza. Zumwi wina iyi impo, mi zumwi wina ina.
But I wish that all men were even as myself; but each one has his own gift from God, some one, and some another.
8 Ku va sa sesetwe mi kwi mbelwa ni cho kuti kwina hande kuti ve kale ni va sa sesetwe, sina mu nina.
But I speak to the unmarried and the widows, that it is good for them that they may remain even as I:
9 Kono hava kangwa kuli kwata avo veene, va woola ku sesa. Imi kwina hande kuti ve kale ni vantu kunde ya kwi hayiwa intakazo.
but if they do not contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10 Hanu ku va lisesete ni ha uwo mulao- nata ime, kono nji Simwine: Mukurwakazi ka swaneli ku siya mukwam'a kwe.”
But I proclaim to those who have married, not I, but the Lord, That a wife shall not depart from her husband
11 Kono heva na siya mukwam'a kwe, u swanela kwi kala na sena mukwame kapa vali swalele. Mi” mukwame ka swaneli kukana mwihyavwe.”
(but if indeed she may depart, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled unto her husband); and that the husband shall not send away the wife.
12 Kono ku voose ni cho- Ime, isinyi Simwine - kuti heva zumwi ya sa mukurwakazi ya sa lumere, mi heva na saka kwi kala ni mukwame, ka swaneli ku swaneli ku kauhana.
But I say to the rest, not the Lord, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is willing to live with him, let him not send her away.
13 Heva mukurwakazi wina mukwame asa lumere, mi na tavela kwi kala naye, ka swaneli ku muhindika.
And if any wife has an unbelieving husband, and he is willing to live with her, let her not send away her husband.
14 Imi mukwame ya sa lumere u lukulwilwe vakeñi cha mukurwakazi wakwe, mi mukurwakazi ya sa lumere u lukulwilwe vakeñi cha mulikan'a kwe. Kusicwalo vaana venu ni va vavi va sa njolwele, kono aho va lukulwilwe.
For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the brother. Since then your children are unclean; but now they are holy.
15 Kono heva mulikani ya sa lumere u yenda, mu siye a yende. Mwinzila zina vulyo, mulikani wa mukwame kapa wa mukurwakazi kena u su minwe ku mulao. Ireeza ava tusupi kuti tuhale mwi konzo.
But if the unbeliever departs, let him or her depart; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. God has called you in peace.
16 Imi ka mwi zive vule, mukurwakazi, kapa ka mu puluse va kwame venu? Kapa ka mwi zive vule, mukwame, kapa ka muhaze va kurwakazi venu?
For what do you know, O wife, if you shall save your husband? And what do you know, O husband, if you shall save your wife?
17 Konji ku siya vulyo kuti muhale vuhalo uvo Simwine ava tuhi, ku zumwi uvo Ireeza ava supili. Nji mulao wangu ku kereke zonse.
If not as the Lord has imparted to each one, and as God has called each one, so let him or her walk. And thus I command in all the churches.
18 Kana kwina ya va nyi kumupato ha sumpwa kuti a lumere? Kana kwina zumwi ya sena avali kwina mu mupato ha sumpwa kwi tumelo? Sanzi a pangwa mupato.
Is one called having been circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has one been called in uncircumcision? let him not get circumcised.
19 Imi kena kuti konji heva wina mupato kapa ku sa va ni mupato nji vileza. Kono chi sakahala kwi chilila milao ya Ireeza.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 Zumwi ni zumwi u swanela ku va mu mayemo avali kwina pili na seni ku lumera.
Let each one abide in the same calling in which he is called.
21 Kena uvali u muhikane Ireeza cho kusupa? Sanzi u vileli ku wamana nezo. Kono heva no wola ku va yo sumunikite, u hinde vulotu vwa teni.
Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference.
22 Mi zumwi cho sumpwa cha Simwine ku va muhikana u lukulwilwe cha Simwine. Kwina vulyo sina zumwi yo lukuluhite cho sumpwa ku ku lumera vuhikana vwa Kreste.
For the one having been called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman: likewise the one having been called, while free, is the slave of Christ.
23 Mu va wulwa che ngulo, cwale sanzi muvi vahikana vwa vakwame.
You have been bought with a price; be not the slaves of men.
24 Vakwangu, ni ha mu va mu vuhalo vumwi vu muvahiti kuvuli ni museni ku lumera, mu siye twikale vulyo.
Let each one remain with the Lord, in the same calling in which he was called, brethren.
25 Hanu kuamana navo vaseni kuseswa, kanina intaelo ya Simwine. Kono ni hitisa maikuto angu, ka chi shemo cha Simwine, chi sepahale.
But concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give knowledge, as one having obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.
26 Linu, ni hupula kuti ivaka lya vukavo vukaza, kulotu kuti muntu ekale vo vulyo mwekalile.
But I consider this to be good on account of the present distress, that it is good for a man so to be.
27 Musu mininwe ku mukurwakazi? sanzi usaki ku sumununwa kwali. Kolisumine ku mukurwakazi? Sanzi ugani mukurwakazi.
Have you been given to a wife? do not seek separation; have you been separated from a wife? do not seek a wife.
28 Kono niho sesa, ko tendi chivi. Mi haiva mukurwakazi yasa sesetwe na seswa, kana tenda chivi. Kono avova sesa muvave ni manyando mangi mu vuhalo, ni saka ku mi kauhanya kuzili.
But if, indeed you may marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin may marry, she has not sinned; but such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you.
29 Kono izi ni wamba, vakwangu: Inako infuhi. kuzwa hanu, misiye avo
But I say this, brethren; that the time is at hand, that moreover indeed those having wives may be as those not having;
30 vena vakurwakazi va ve uvu kavena. Avo valila va ve uvu kavalili, mi avo va tavite vave uvu kava tavite, mi avo va wula zintu vave uvu vasa kwete zintu.
and those weeping, as those not weeping; and those rejoicing, as those not rejoicing; and those buying, as those not possessing;
31 Mi avo vasevelisa ze inkanda vave uvu kava zili tusisi, kakuti mukwa weyi inkanda kusike hakumana.
and those using the world, as those not using it thoroughly: for the fashion of this world is passing away.
32 Ni tavela kuti mu lukuluhe kwi tongosi. Vantu va sa sesete vena chiseho ku wamana ni zintu za Simwine, mu va swanela ku mu lumbeka.
I wish you to be free from solicitude. The unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, in order that he may please the Lord:
33 Kono va kwame va sesete avo vena chiseho ya ku tavisa va kurwakazi va vo-
but the one having married cares for the things of the world, in order that he may please his wife.
34 u kauhene. Va sa sesetwe va kurwakazi kapa va lyanjo va vilela ku wamana ni zintu za Simwine, mu va swanela ku njololeza mivili ya vo mi mu luhuho. Kono va kurwakazi va sesetwe vena hulu mu ku vilezwa za va kwame vavo mu va swanela ku va taviseza.
A wife and a virgin truly also differ: the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but she having married cares for the things of the world, that she may please her husband.
35 Ni wamba izi ku tendela kuti mu wane chimwi, mi isinyi ku mi vika mu mulandu. Ni wamba izi imi nji shiyeme, kutendela kuti mu ve va yemukite Kwa Simwine ni ku sena nangati ku sitatala.
I speak this for the profit of you yourselves; not that I may cast a burden upon you, but for that which is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord without perturbation.
36 Kono heva zumwi na hupula kuti katendi hande mulikan'a kwe che kute - heva na hitilile zilimo zakwe za maseso mi ku woleka kuva vulyo- u wola kupanga mwa sakila. kena kuti utenda chivi. Va swanela ku sesa.
But if any one considers that he is acting indiscreetly towards his virgin, if she may be marriageable, and thus it ought so to be, let him do what he wishes; he does not sin; let them marry.
37 Kono heva ni va zimene cha kukola mwi kulo zavo, heva na sa chukumiswe kono na wola kuliyeleza muhupulo wakwe, mi heva ava hindi muhato mwi kulo ya kwe wa ku tenda vulyo, ku vikila mulikan'a kwe muvili wa kwe, mwa tende hande.
But whosoever stands firm in his heart, having no necessity, and has the right according to his own will, and has determined this in his heart, to keep his virgin, will do well.
38 Cwale uzo zumwi yo sesa mulikan'a u panga hande, mi uzo zumwi yo liketela ku sa sesa upanga hande mane ni kuhita.
So indeed he that marries his own virgin does well; and he that marries her not will do better.
39 Mukurwakazi u suminwe ku mukwam'a kwe kutwala ma manimani avuhalo vwakwe. Kono heva mukwam'a kwe cha fwa, u lukuluhite ku sesa, kono konji cha Simwine.
A wife has been given so long a time as her husband may live; but if her husband may die, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40 Imi cha mulao wangu mwa wole ku sanga heva ne kale mwena. Mi Ni hupula kuti na me ni na Luhuho lwa Ireeza
But she is happier if she may so remain, according to my opinion: but I realize that I truly have the Spirit of God.
