1 Qorontos 7
1 Waaʼee waan isin naa barreessitan sanaa, namni tokko utuu fuudhuu baatee isaaf gaarii dha.
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Garuu waan halalummaan jiruuf dhiirri hundi niitii ofii isaa haa qabaatu; dubartiin hundis dhirsa ofii ishee haa qabaattu.
But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Dhirsi waan niitii isaatiif malu haa guutuuf; niitiinis akkasuma dhirsa isheetiif haa guuttu.
Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 Niitiin dhagna ofii ishee irratti aangoo hin qabdu; kan aangoo qabu dhirsa. Akkasuma immoo dhirsi dhagna ofii isaa irratti aangoo hin qabu; kan aangoo qabdu niitii dha.
The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.
5 Yoo kadhannaatti jabaachuuf jettanii yeroof itti walii galtan malee wal hin didinaa. Ergasiis akka of qabuu dadhabuu keessaniin Seexanni isin hin qorreef deebiʼaa wajjin jiraadhaa.
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.
6 Kanas ani eeyyamaan malee ajajaaf hin dubbadhu.
But this I say by way of permission, not of commandment.
7 Ani utuu namni hundumtuu akkuma koo taʼee nan hawwa ture. Garuu namni hundi kennaa ofii isaa kan Waaqni isaaf kenne qaba; inni tokko kennaa tokko, kaan immoo kennaa biraa qaba.
Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8 Ani warra hin fuudhinii fi warra hin heeruminiin, haadhota hiyyeessaatiin illee akkanan jedha: Isaan yoo akkuma koo fuudhaa fi heeruma malee hafan isaaniif wayya.
But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 Yoo of qabuu dadhaban garuu haa fuudhan yookaan haa heeruman; hawwiin gubachuu irra fuudhuu yookaan heerumuu wayyaatii.
But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10 Warra fuudhanii fi warra heerumaniifis ajajni ani kennu kana: Ajaja kanas Gooftaatu kenna malee ana miti; niitiin dhirsa isheetiin gargar hin baʼin.
But unto the married I give charge, [yea] not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband
11 Yoo gargar baate garuu utuu hin heerumin haa jiraattu; yoo kanaa achii dhirsa isheetti haa araaramtu. Dhirsis niitii isaa hin hiikin.
(but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife.
12 Warra hafaniinis ani akkanan jedha: Kana immoo anatu jedha malee Gooftaa miti; obboleessi kam iyyuu yoo niitii amantii hin qabne qabaate, yoo isheenis isa wajjin jiraachuuf fedhii qabaatte, inni ishee hin hiikin.
But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.
13 Dubartiin tokkos yoo dhirsa amantii hin qabne qabaatte, yoo innis ishee wajjin jiraachuuf fedhii qabaate, isheen isa hin hiikin.
And the woman which hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 Dhirsi amantii hin qabne karaa niitii isaatiin qulqulleeffameeraatii; niitiin amantii hin qabnes karaa dhirsa isheetiin qulqulleeffamteertii. Yoo kanaa achii ijoolleen keessan xuraaʼoo taʼu; amma garuu qulqulloota.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 Namni amantii hin qabne garuu yoo gargar baʼuu fedhe gargar haa baʼu. Obboleessi tokko yookaan obboleettiin tokko haala akkasii keessatti hin hidhaman; Waaqni akka isin nagaan jiraattaniif isin waameeraatii.
Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us in peace.
16 Yaa niitii, ati dhirsa kee ni fayyifta taʼaatii maal beekta? Yookaan yaa dhirsa, ati niitii kee ni fayyifta taʼaatii maal beekta?
For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17 Tokkoon tokkoon namaa garuu akkuma jireenya Gooftaan kenneefiitti, akkuma Waaqni isa waamettis haa jiraatu. Waldoota Kiristaanaa hunda keessattis ajajni koo kanuma.
Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.
18 Namni tokko waamamuu isaatiin dura dhagna qabatee ture? Inni nama dhagna hin qabatin taʼuu hin qabu. Namni tokko waamamuu isaatiin dura dhagna hin qabannee? Inni dhagna hin qabatin.
Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Ajaja Waaqaa eeguutu faayidaa qaba malee dhagna qabachuun yookaan qabachuu baachuun faayidaa hin qabu.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 Tokkoon tokkoon namaa haaluma yeroo Waaqni isa waametti keessa ture keessa haa jiraatu.
Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called.
21 Ati yeroo waamamtetti garba turtee? Yoo akkas taʼe inni si hin yaaddessin; yoo bilisa baʼuu dandeesse garuu itti fayyadami.
Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: but if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.
22 Namni yeroo Gooftaadhaan waamametti garba ture inni gooftaadhaaf bilisa; akkasuma immoo namni yeroo waamametti bilisa ture inni garbicha Kiristoos.
For he that was called in the Lord, being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he that was called, being free, is Christ’s bondservant.
23 Isin gatiidhaan bitamtan; garboota namootaa hin taʼinaa.
Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men.
24 Yaa obboloota, tokkoon tokkoon namaa haaluma yeroo itti waamametti keessa tureen fuula Waaqaa dura haa jiraatu.
Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
25 Ani waaʼee dubarran qulqulluu ajaja Gooftaan natti kenne hin qabu; garuu akka nama amanamaa taʼuuf araara Gooftaa argate tokkootti yaada koo nan kenna.
Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
26 Sababii rakkina ammaatiif jettanii akkuma jirtanitti turuun isiniif gaarii natti fakkaata.
I think therefore that this is good by reason of the present distress, [namely], that it is good for a man to be as he is.
27 Ati niitiitti hidhamteertaa? Ishee hiikuu hin barbaadin. Ati niitii irraa hiikamteertaa? Niitii hin barbaadin.
Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 Ati garuu yoo fuute cubbuu hojjechuu kee miti; durbis yoo heerumte cubbuu hojjechuu ishee miti. Taʼus addunyaa kana irratti warra fuudhanii fi warra heeruman rakkinatu argata; ani immoo rakkina kana jalaa isin baasuun barbaada.
But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.
29 Yaa obboloota, wanti ani jedhu kana; yeroon murteeffame sun gabaabateera; siʼachi warri niitii qaban akka waan hin qabaatiniitti haa jiraatan;
But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;
30 warri booʼan akka waan hin booʼiniitti, warri gammadan akka waan hin gammadiniitti, warri waa bitatan akka waan wanni bitatan sun kan isaanii hin taʼiniitti,
and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;
31 warri waan addunyaa kanaatti fayyadamanis akka waan itti hin fayyadaminiitti haa hedan. Bifti addunyaa kanaa ni badaatii.
and those that use the world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32 Ani akka isin yaaddoo malee jiraattan nan hawwa. Namni hin fuudhin tokko Gooftaa gammachiisuuf dhimma Gooftaatti dhimma.
But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33 Namni fuudhe garuu niitii isaa gammachiisuuf dhimma addunyaatti dhimma;
but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
34 fedhiin isaas gargar qoodameera. Dubartiin hin heerumin yookaan durbi qulqulluun dhagnaa fi hafuuraan qulqulluu taʼuuf dhimma Gooftaatti dhimmiti. Dubartiin heerumte garuu dhirsa ishee gammachiisuuf dhimma addunyaatti dhimmiti.
And there is a difference also between the wife and the virgin. She that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 Kana jechuun koos isin fayyaduuf malee kiyyootti isin galchuuf miti; qooda kanaa akka isin yaada gargar hin hiraminiin karaa qajeelaa irra Gooftaaf jiraattan nan hawwa.
And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36 Namni kam iyyuu yoo durba kaadhimate sirriitti qabuu baate, yoo umuriin ishee dabalaa deemee innis akka ishee fuudhuu qabu yaade, akkuma fedhii isaa haa godhu. Inni cubbuu hojjechuu isaa miti. Isaan wal fuudhuu qabu.
But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.
37 Garuu namni waan kana yaada ofii isaatiin murteesse, kan dirqama tokko illee jala hin jirree fedhii ofii isaa moʼachuu dandaʼu, kan akka durba sana hin fuune murteeffate, innis waan qajeelaa hojjete.
But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin [daughter], shall do well.
38 Kanaafuu namni durba fuudhu waan qajeelaa hojjete; kan ishee fuudhuu dhiise immoo caalaa waan qajeelaa hojjete.
So then both he that giveth his own virgin [daughter] in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better.
39 Dubartiin tokko hamma dhirsi ishee jirutti isatti hidhamteerti. Yoo dhirsi ishee duʼe garuu isheen abbaa barbaaddetti heerumuuf bilisa; garuu inni nama Gooftaa taʼuu qaba.
A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40 Akka yaada kootti garuu isheen yoo utuu hin heerumin hafte caalaa gammaddi; anis Hafuura Waaqaa of keessaa nan qaba jedheen yaada.
But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
