1 Wakorintu 7
1 Su, kwa vitwatira vilii vyamunembiriti kuwera, iherepa kwa wantu pawayuga ndiri.
Now concerning the things about which you wrote: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Toziya ya uhumba nentu, su kila mpalu kaweri na mdala gwakuwi mweni na kila mdala kaweri na mpalu gwakuwi mweni.
But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Mpalu katendi galii gagafiruwa na mdala gwakuwi na mdala katendi galii gagafiruwa na mpalu gwakuwi.
Let the husband fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
4 Nshimba ya mdala, yakuwi mweni ndiri, kumbiti ya mpalu gwakuwi. Ntambu iraayi nshimba ya mpalu, yakuwi mweni ndiri, kumbiti ya mdala gwakuwi.
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
5 Namuliyimana maweni, kumbiti mpatani kutenda hangu kwa shipindi shididini hera, su muwezi kulikala kwa kumluwa Mlungu, shakapanu muliwuyiri kayi, su Shetani nakiza kuwajera toziya muweza ndiri kulilewelera.
Do not deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 Aga ganuwagambirani neni na gamalagaliru ndiri.
But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7 Neni menfiri wantu woseri waweri gambira neni ntambu yanwera, kumbiti kila yumu kawera na lifupu kulawa kwa Mlungu, yumu kana lifupu ali na yumonga kana lifupu lilii.
Yet I wish that all people were like me. However each one has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
8 Vinu wantu walii yawayuga ndiri na walii yawawera wakenja nuwagambira hangu iherepa walikali gambira neni ntambu yanwera.
But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9 Kumbiti muntu pakasinda kulilewelera, su kayugi mdala, mana membaka nentu kuyuga kuliku kuwera na lumatamata.
But if they do not have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.
10 Kwa wantu yawayugiti na yawayugitwi nankuwapanani malagaliru, ganeni ndiri kumbiti ga Mtuwa, mdala nakalekana na mpalu gwakuwi,
But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
11 Kumbiti pakalekana nayomberi, kalikali pota na kuyugwa ama kakolaniziwi mawoku na mpalu gwakuwi na mpalu nakamleka mdala gwakuwi.
(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
12 Kwa wamonga neni nonga, gweka yangu hera na kumbiti Mtuwa ndiri, Payiwera mpalu yakawera na mdala yakamwamini ndiri Yesu na mdala ayu kajimira kulikala na yomberi, nakamleka mdala ayu.
But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
13 Na handa mdala kana mpalu yakamwamini ndiri Yesu na mpalu ayu kajimira kulikala na yomberi, su mdala ayu nakamlema mpalu gwakuwi.
The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 Toziya mpalu ayu yakamjimira ndiri Yesu hakapungwi na Mlungu kwa kulikolerana na mdala gwakuwi na mdala ayu yakamwamini ndiri Yesu hakajimirwi na Mlungu kwa kulikolerana na mpalu gwakuwi. Pamonga wana wawu mewaweri ndiri wa Mlungu, kumbiti vinu wajimirwa kuwera wana wa Mlungu.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 Kumbiti payiwera ulii yakamjimira ndiri Kristu pakafira kumleka muyaguwi yakawera Mkristu, su kamleki. Su mpalu ama mdala hakaweri mlekeru. Mlungu kawashemiti mwenga mulikali kwa ponga.
Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called you to peace.
16 Gwenga mdala, guvimana hashi kuwera gwana unakaka kuwera haguwezi kumlopoziya mpalu gwaku? Ama gwenga mpalu, guvimana hashi kuwera gwana unakaka kuwera haguwezi kumlopoziya mdala gwaku?
For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 Kila muntu kalikali kugenderana na mafupu gakapananitwi na Mtuwa na ntambu yakashemitwi na Mlungu. Ali ndo lilagaliru lyaneni muvipinga vyoseri vya wantu vyawamwamini Yesu.
Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the congregations.
18 Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri yakayingiziwitwi kala jandu pakashemitwi na Mlungu? Nakalipayira kuwera kayingiziwitwi ndiri jandu na handa pakashemitwi kawera kayingiziyitwi ndiri jandu, su nakayingiziwa jandu.
Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19 Toziya kwingiziwa jandu ama kwingiziwa ndiri jandu shintu ndiri, shintu shikulu ndo kugajimira Malagaliru ga Mlungu.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 Su kila yumu kasigali ntambu pakashemitwi na Mlungu.
Let each person stay in that calling in which he was called.
21 Hashi, gwenga guweriti mmanda pagushemitwi na Mlungu? Nagulishera, kumbiti paguwera mlekeru, gutendi hangu.
Were you called being a slave? Do not let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
22 Toziya yomberi yakashemitwi na Mtuwa pakawera mmanda, muntu ayu hakaweri mlekeru gwa Mtuwa. Ntambu iraayi ulii muntu mlekeru yakashemitwi na Kristu, kawera mmanda gwa Kristu.
For he who was called in the Lord being a slave is the Lord's free person. Likewise he who was called being free is Messiah's slave.
23 Mlungu kawahemeriti mwenga kwa beyi nkulu, su namuwera kayi wamanda wa wantu.
You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of people.
24 Walongu wayangu, kila yumu gwenu kasigali mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu ntambu yakaweriti pakashemitwi.
Brothers, let each one, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
25 Vinu kwa visoweru vya wadala yawawera wali, nahera lilagaliru lya Mtuwa, kumbiti ntakula ntambu yamona neni, kwa lusungu lwa Mtuwa, nstaili kwaminika.
Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
26 Su, kulawirana na ntabika yaiwera vinu, neni nulihola kuwera iherepa nentu muntu kasigali ntambu yakawera.
I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a person to remain as he is.
27 Hashi, gwenga guyuga? Su nagulekana na mdala gwaku. Hashi, gwenga guyuga ndiri? Su nagufira kuyuga.
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
28 Kumbiti paguyuga gutenda ndiri vidoda na handa mwali pakayugwa katenda ndiri vidoda. Womberi pawayugana hawapati ntabika mumakaliru aga, kumbiti neni menfiri ndiri gawapati aga.
But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
29 Walongu waneni, nfira kutakula hangu, shipindi shashisigala shididini hera na kwanjira vinu walii yawayuga walikali gambira waliyuga ndiri,
But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, those who have wives should be as though they had none;
30 na walii yawalila waweri gambira walira ndiri na walii yawanemelera waweri gambira wanemelera ndiri na walii yawahemera waweri gambira wahera shintu shawahemeliti,
and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
31 na walii yawawera na lihengu lya pasipanu, waweri gambira wahera lihengu la pasipanu. Toziya pasipanu ntambu yatupamana, pankupita.
and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the form of this world is passing away.
32 Neni menfiriti mwenga namlishera. Muntu yakahera mdala kankuliholera lihengu lya Mtuwa, toziya yomberi kankujera kumfiriziya Mtuwa.
But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
33 Kumbiti mpalu yakayugiti kankuliholera lihengu lya pasipanu, su kamfiriziyi mdala gwakuwi,
but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
34 na yomberi maholu gakuwi galibagula. Mdala yakayugwa ndiri ama yakawera mwali katenda lihengu lya Mtuwa, kapati kuwera mananagala gwa nshimba na rohu. Kumbiti mdala yakayugitwi katendaga lihengu lya pasipanu, su kamfiriziyi mdala gwakuwi.
and is divided. And the woman that is unmarried, or a virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the one that is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 Nuwagambirani aga toziya nfira kuwatanga mwenga. Neni nfira ndiri kuwapoka ulekelu wenu, kumbiti nfira mwenga mtendi maheri na mulilaviyi maweni kumtendera lihengu lya Mtuwa pota na kukwegwa na vintu vyamonga.
This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
36 Handa muntu kawona kamtendera weri ndiri mwali yakamfindika pakamuyuga ndiri na handa hapeni kawezi kulikala pota na kuyuga, su katendi ntambu yakafira, yomberi kayugi na hapeni katendi vidoda.
But if anyone thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He does not sin. Let them marry.
37 Kumbiti mpalu ayu pakaamuwa mumoyu mwakuwi pota na kuyuga na handa kaweza kuzikolamlima matamata zyakuwi na kwamuwa ntambu ya kutenda, su katenda weri nentu pakamuyuga ndiri mwali ayu.
But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.
38 Su mpalu yakayuga katenda hweri, kumbiti ulii yakayugiti ndiri katenda hweri nentu.
So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage does better.
39 Mdala yakayugitwi kakolerana pamuhera na mpalu gwakuwi mushipindi shoseri pamberi pa kuhowa. Kumbiti mpalu gwakuwi pakahowa, mdala ayu kawera mlekeru, na pakafira mweni kaweza kuyugwa na muntu yoseri, kumbiti mpalu ayu kaweri Mkristu.
A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
40 Kumbiti yamona neni, kwa mdala ayu mbaka pakalikala ntambu yakawera. Aga ndo ntambu yanulihola na neni nulihola kuwera nana Rohu gwa Mlungu.
But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Ruach.
