1 Vakolinto 6
1 Ngati mundu yeyoha pagati yinu avi na luhonda na muyaki msadika, ihotola wuli kumtakila mlongo waki palongola ya vandu vangammanya Chapanga, pahala pa kumtakila palongolo ya vandu va Chapanga?
When any of you have a dispute against another, do yoʋ dare to go to court before the unrighteous and not before the saints?
2 Wu, mmanyi lepi kuvya vandu va Chapanga yati vakuvahamula vandu va mulima? Ngati mulima yati uhamuliwa na nyenye, ndava kyani muganikiwa lepi kuhamula hati mambu gadebe?
Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?
3 Mmanyi lepi ngati yati mkuvahamula vamitumi va kunani kwa Chapanga? Wu, lepi neju ya mambu ga pamulima!
Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention matters of this life?
4 Pemwiva na ngondo ngati iyi, ndava kyani muhamba kwa vandu vangali vachilongosi va Nyumba ya Chapanga?
If then you have disputes about such matters, do you seat as judges those who have no standing in the church?
5 Soni kwinu! Ndi kujova kawaka hati mmonga pagati yinu mweavi na luhala wa kuhotola kuhamula mihalu pagati ya vasadika?
I say this to your shame. Is there not a wise man among you, not even one, who would be able to decide between a man and his brother,
6 Nambu hinu valongo vasadika vakumtakila myavi palongolo ya libanji la mihalu ya vandu vangasadika vahamula.
but one brother goes to court against another, and they do so before unbelievers?
7 Chakaka kutakilani kwenuku nyenye mwavene kulangisa hotohoto kuvya mwangahotola! Wu, ngayivii chabwina lepi kukongewa! Wu, chabwina lepi kukongewa? Chabwina lepi kwinu kunyagiwa vindu vinu?
As it is, to have lawsuits with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
8 Nambu, pahala paki, nyenye ndi myiva na kunyaga, kangi ago mukuvakitila valongo vinu!
But you yourselves wrong, and you yourselves defraud, and you do these things to your own brothers!
9 Wu, mmanyi lepi kuvya vandu vahakau vipewa lepi Unkosi wa Chapanga? Mkoto kukongewa! Vevikita ukemi, vevigundamila vimong'omong'o, vagosi kugona na vagosi vayavi, na vadala kwa vadala,
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
10 vahiji, vevinota, vevigala, veviheha, vevinyaga, veviliga venavo voha vihanganila lepi muunkosi wa Chapanga.
nor the greedy, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 Vangi vinu mwavi chenicho, nambu hinu mubaguliwi ndava ya Chapanga na kulolekana vabwina palongolo yaki kupitila BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu na kupitila Mpungu wa Chapanga witu.
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
12 Mundu ihotola kujova, “Kwa nene vindu vyoha viganikiwa.” Nambu lepi vindu vyoha vyeviganikiwa. Niyidikila kuvya kila chindu chiganikiwa kwa nene nambu mbwitu kutamiwa na chindu chochoha.
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.
13 Mwihotola kujova, “Chakulya chivii ndava ya lileme, na lileme luvi ndava ya chakulya.” Nambu Chapanga yati akuvihalabisa vyoha. Higa ya mundu ndi lepi ukemi ndi kwa kumhengela BAMBU, na BAMBU ndi ndava ya higa.
Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will do away with them both. The body is not meant for fornication but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14 Chapanga amyukisi BAMBU kuhuma mulifwa na tete mewa yati akutiyukisa kwa makakala gaki.
Now God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
15 Wu, mmanyi lepi kuvya higa yinu ndi viwungo vya higa ya Kilisitu? Wu, nitola viungu vya Kilisitu niviwunganisayi na viwungu vya mkemi? Pehe!
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Certainly not!
16 Muni, ngati chaumanyili, mwaiwungana na mkemi vivya higa yimonga, ngati chagijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Na vavili yati vivya higa yimonga.”
Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one with her in body? For it says, “The two will become one flesh.”
17 Nambu mwajiwungi na BAMBU vivya Mpungu umonga na mwene.
But he who is joined to the Lord is one with him in spirit.
18 Muleka kukita ugoni. Kumbudila Chapanga kungi kwoha kukitiwa kuvala ya higa nambu mkemi akumbudila chapanga ayikitila higa yaki mwene.
Flee fornication. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
19 Wu, mmanyi lepi kuvya higa yinu ndi Nyumba ya Mpungu Msopi mweavimugati yinu, ndi mwemwampokili kuhuma kwa Chapanga? Nyenye, vindu vinu lepi mwavene nambu vindu vya Chapanga.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own,
20 Mwaguliwi kwa mashonga gamahele. Ndi muyihengelai higa yinu kwa kumlumba Chapanga.
for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God with your body and with your spirit, which belong to God.
