1 Qorontos 6
1 Isin keessaa namni kam iyyuu yoo nama biraa irraa falmii qabaate, dhimma isaa qulqulloota duratti dhiʼeeffachuu irra akkamitti warra Waaqatti hin amanin duratti murtiif dhiʼeeffachuuf ija jabaata?
Can it be that, when one of you has a dispute with another, they dare to have their case tried before the heathen, instead of before Christ’s people?
2 Isin akka qulqulloonni addunyaatti muran hin beektanii? Erga kan addunyaatti murtan taatanii waan xixinnootti muruu hin dandeessanii?
Don’t you know that Christ’s people will try the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try the most trivial cases?
3 Isin akka nu ergamoota Waaqaatti murru hin beektanii? Yoos hammam caalaa waan jireenya addunyaa kanaatti haa murru ree?
Don’t you know that we are to try angels – to say nothing of the affairs of this life?
4 Egaa yoo falmii dhimma akkasii qabaattan maaliif namoota waldaa Kiristaanaa keessatti tuffataman duratti dhiʼeeffattu ree?
Why, then, if you have cases relating to the affairs of this life, do you set to try them those who carry no weight with the church? To your shame I ask it.
5 Anis isin qaanessuuf waan kana nan dubbadha. Namni beekaan falmii amantoota gidduu jiruuf murtii kennuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru jechuudhaa?
Can it be that there is not one among you wise enough to decide between two of their fellow followers?
6 Obboleessi tokko obboleessa kaan himachuuf jedhee mana murtii dhaqa; kunis fuula warra hin amannee duratti!
Must a follower sue a fellow follower? In front of unbelievers?
7 Wal himachuun keessan amma iyyuu guutumaatti moʼatamuu keessan argisiisa. Qooda kanaa dabni isinitti hojjetamuu hin wayyuu? Gowwoomfamuu isinii hin wayyuu?
To begin with, it is undoubtedly a loss to you to have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather let yourselves be cheated?
8 Garuu isin mataan keessan iyyuu ni gowwoomsitu; dabas ni hojjettu; kanas obbolootuma keessanitti hojjettu.
Instead of this, you wrong and cheat others yourselves – yes, even other followers!
9 Isin akka jalʼoonni mootummaa Waaqaa hin dhaalle hin beektanii? Hin gowwoominaa: halaleewwan yookaan warri Waaqa tolfamaa waaqeffatan yookaan ejjitoonni yookaan dhiironni sagaagaltoonni yookaan dhiironni dhiira wajjin sagaagalan,
Don’t you know that wrongdoers will have no share in God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived. No one who is immoral, or an idolater, or an adulterer, or licentious, or a sexual pervert,
10 yookaan hattoonni yookaan doqnoonni yookaan machooftonni yookaan warri maqaa nama balleessan yookaan saamtonni mootummaa Waaqaa hin dhaalan.
or a thief, or covetous, or a drunkard, or abusive, or grasping, will have any share in God’s kingdom.
11 Gariin keessan akkas turtan. Taʼus isin maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosii fi Hafuura Waaqa keenyaatiin dhiqamtaniirtu; qulqullooftaniirtu; qajeeltotas taasifamtaniirtu.
Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ’s people! You were pronounced righteous through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God!
12 “Wanti hundinuu naaf eeyyamameera;” kan faayidaa qabu garuu hunda isaa miti; “Wanti hundinuu naaf eeyyamameera;” garuu wanti tokko iyyuu na hin moʼatu.
Everything is allowable for me! Yes, but everything is not profitable. Everything is allowable for me! Yes, but for my part, I will not let myself be enslaved by anything.
13 “Nyaanni garaadhaaf; garaanis nyaataaf;” Waaqni garuu lachan isaanii iyyuu ni balleessa. Dhagni Gooftaa tajaajiluudhaaf malee halalummaaf miti; Gooftaanis dhagnaaf.
Food exists for the stomach, and the stomach for food; but God will put an end to both the one and the other. The body, however, exists, not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;
14 Waaqni humna isaatiin warra duʼan keessaa Gooftaa kaaseera; nus akkasuma ni kaasa.
and, as God has raised the Lord, so he will raise us up also by the exercise of his power.
15 Isin akka dhagni keessan kutaa dhagna Kiristoos taʼe hin beektanii? Yoos ani kutaa dhagna Kiristoos fuudhee kutaa dhagna sagaagaltuu godhuu ree? Gonkumaa hin taʼu!
Don’t you know that your bodies are Christ’s members? Am I, then, to take the members that belong to the Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? Heaven forbid!
16 Isin akka namni sagaagaltuu wajjin wal qunnamtii qabu tokko ishee wajjin dhagna tokko taʼu hin beektanii? “Lamaan isaanii iyyuu foon tokko ni taʼu” jedhameeraatii.
Or don’t you know that a man who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body (for “the two,” it is said, “will become one”);
17 Namni Gooftaa wajjin tokko taʼe garuu Gooftaa wajjin hafuuraan tokko.
while a man who is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit?
18 Halalummaa irraa baqadhaa. Namni cubbuu biraa hunda dhagna isaatii alatti hojjeta; namni halalummaa hojjetu garuu dhagnuma ofii isaatti cubbuu hojjeta.
Shun all immorality. Every other sin that people commit is something outside the body; but an immoral person sins against their own body.
19 Isin akka dhagni keessan mana qulqullummaa Hafuura Qulqulluu isin keessa jiraatu, kan Waaqa irraa argattan sanaa taʼe hin beektanii? Isin kan ofii keessanii miti;
Again, don’t you know that your body is a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you – the Spirit which you have from God?
20 isin gatiin bitamtan; kanaafuu dhagna keessaniin Waaqaaf ulfina kennaa.
Moreover, you are not your own masters; you were bought, and the price was paid. Therefore, honour God in your bodies.
