1 Abakkolinso 6

1 Omuntu yenna mu mmwe bw’aba n’ensonga ne munne, agitwala eri abatali batuukirivu oba eri abatukuvu?

Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbour, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2 Oba temumanyi ng’abatukuvu be balisalira ensi omusango? Kale obanga mmwe mulisalira ensi omusango, temusobola kusala nsonga ntono eziri mu mmwe?

Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Temumanyi nga ffe tulisalira bamalayika omusango, okwo nga totaddeeko bintu bya mu bulamu buno?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?

4 Kale bwe muba n’ensonga lwaki muzitwala mu abo abanyoomebwa ekkanisa ne mubalonda okuba abalamuzi?

If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?

5 Njagala kubakwasa nsonyi; ddala mu mmwe temuli muntu n’omu alina magezi asobola okusala ensonga wakati w’abooluganda?

I say [this] to move you to shame. Is it so, that there cannot be [found] among you one wise man, who shall be able to decide between his brethren,

6 Naye owooluganda ayinza okuwoza n’owooluganda mu maaso g’abatali bakkiriza?

but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

7 N’okuwozaŋŋana mwekka na mwekka kiraga nti muli mu kabi. Lwaki obutamala gakolwanga bubi? Lwaki obutamala galyazaamaanyizibwanga?

Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?

8 Naye musobya baganda bammwe ne mubalyazaamaanya.

Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.

9 Oba temumanyi ng’abatali batuukirivu tebaliyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda? Temulimbibwanga. Abakaba, newaakubadde abasinza bakatonda abalala, newaakubadde abenzi, newaakubadde abasajja abeeyisa ng’abakazi, newaakubadde abalya ebisiyaga,

Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men,

10 newaakubadde ababbi, newaakubadde aboomululu, newaakubadde abatamiivu, newaakubadde abajerega, newaakubadde abanyazi tebaliyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 Era abamu ku mmwe mwali nga bo, naye ebibi byammwe byanaazibwa era mwatukuzibwa era mwaweebwa obutuukirivu mu linnya lya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo n’Omwoyo wa Katonda waffe.

And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

12 Ebintu byonna nzikirizibwa okubikola, mu mateeka, naye byonna tebinsanira. Ebintu byonna nzikirizibwa okubikola naye sigenda kufugibwa kintu na kimu.

All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Ebyokulya bya lubuto, n’olubuto lwa byakulya. Naye byombi Katonda alibizikiriza. Omubiri si gwa bwenzi, naye gwa Mukama.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

14 Era Katonda eyazuukiza Mukama waffe alituzuukiza olw’amaanyi ge.

and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up us through his power.

15 Temumanyi ng’emibiri gyammwe bitundu bya Kristo? Ate nzirire ebitundu bya Kristo mbifuule eby’omwenzi? Kikafuuwe.

Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.

16 Oba temumanyi nti omuntu yenna eyeegatta n’omwenzi, emibiri gyammwe gifuuka gumu? Kubanga kigambibwa nti, “Bombi balifuuka omubiri gumu.”

Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh.

17 Naye eyeegatta ne Mukama waffe bafuuka omu mu mwoyo.

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18 Mudduke obwenzi. Buli kibi omuntu ky’akola kiba ku mubiri, naye ayenda akola ekibi ku mubiri gwe ye yennyini.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 Oba temumanyi ng’omubiri gwammwe ye Yeekaalu ya Mwoyo Mutukuvu Katonda gwe yabawa, era n’emibiri gyammwe si gyammwe ku bwammwe?

Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;

20 Kubanga mwagulibwa na muwendo, noolwekyo emibiri gyammwe gigulumizenga Katonda.

for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.
