Kuhusu mambo ghamnyandikili: Kuyele wakati ambapu ni kinofu ngosi akolokugona ni ndala munu.

2 kintu vyabhichArabhayAd ekaikasya puMsaH svakIyabhAryyA bhavatu tadvad ekaikasyA yoShito. api svakIyabharttA bhavatu|

Lakini kwa ndabha ya majaribu mingi gha zinaa khila ngosi ayelai ni ndala wa muene, na khila ndala ayelai ni ngosi munu.

3 bhAryyAyai bhartrA yadyad vitaraNIyaM tad vitIryyatAM tadvad bhartre. api bhAryyayA vitaraNIyaM vitIryyatAM|

Ngosi ipasika kumpela ndala haki ya muene ya ndobho, ni khela khela ndala ni muene kwa ngosi munu.

4 bhAryyAyAH svadehe svatvaM nAsti bharttureva, tadvad bhartturapi svadehe svatvaM nAsti bhAryyAyA eva|

Si ndala yayele ni mamlaka juu ya mbhelhe wa muene, ni ngosi. Khela khela, ngosi ni muene ayelepi ni mamlaka juu ya mbhele wa muene, bali ndala ayenaku.

Mkolokuyimana pamwigona pamonga, isipokwa mkubalianaa kwa muda maalum. Mketai naha ili kukabha muda wa maombi. Kisha mwibhuesya kukhelhebhukilana kabhele pamonga, ili kwamba Shetani akolokuhida kubhajaribu kwa kukosa kiasi.

6 etad Adeshato nahi kintvanuj nAta eva mayA kathyate,

Lakini nijobha agha mambo kwa hiari na si kama amri.

7 yato mamAvastheva sarvvamAnavAnAmavasthA bhavatviti mama vA nChA kintvIshvarAd ekenaiko varo. anyena chAnyo vara itthamekaikena svakIyavaro labdhaH|

Nitamani kila mmonga ngayele kama nene kaniyele. Lakini khila mmonga ayele ni karama ya muene kuhoma kwa K'yara. Oyo ayele ni karama eye, ni yhola karama yhela.

8 aparam akR^itavivAhAn vidhavAshcha prati mamaitannivedanaM mameva teShAmavasthiti rbhadrA;

Kwa bhabelili kugegekibhwa ni bhajane niobha kwamba, ni kinofu kwa bhene kama bhabakili bila kugegekibhwa, kama kaniyele nene.

9 ki ncha yadi tairindriyANi niyantuM na shakyante tarhi vivAhaH kriyatAM yataH kAmadahanAd vyUDhatvaM bhadraM|

Lakini kama mwibhuesyalepi kwizuila, bhipasibhwa kugegekibhwa kwa ndabha heri kwa bhene kugegekibhwa kuliko kuyaka tamaa.

10 ye cha kR^itavivAhAste mayA nahi prabhunaivaitad Aj nApyante|

henu kwa bhala bhabhagegekibhu nikabhaphela amri, nelepi bali ni Bwana. “Ndala akolokutengana ni ngosi munu.”

Lakini kama kajitenga kuhoma kwa ngosi munu, abakilai mewa bila kugegekibhwa au vinginevyo apatanai ni ngosi munu. Ni “Ngosi akolokumphela talaka ndala munu.”

12 itarAn janAn prati prabhu rna bravIti kintvahaM bravImi; kasyachid bhrAturyoShid avishvAsinI satyapi yadi tena sahavAse tuShyati tarhi sA tena na tyajyatAM|

Lakini bhakili, nijobha - nene, si Bwana -kwamba kama ndongo yeywoha yhola ayele ni ndala yaiaminilepi na iridhika kuishi ni muene, ipasibhwa lepi kundeka.

13 tadvat kasyAshchid yoShitaH patiravishvAsI sannapi yadi tayA sahavAse tuShyati tarhi sa tayA na tyajyatAM|

Kama ndala ayele ni ngosi yakamwamini lepi natiai iridhika kuishi ni muene, akolokundeka.

14 yato. avishvAsI bharttA bhAryyayA pavitrIbhUtaH, tadvadavishvAsinI bhAryyA bhartrA pavitrIbhUtA; noched yuShmAkamapatyAnyashuchInyabhaviShyan kintvadhunA tAni pavitrANi santi|

Kwa ngosi yabelili kuamini itasika kwa ndabha ya imani ya ndala munu. Ni ndala yabelili kuamini itakasika kwa ndabha ya ngosi munu yaiamini. Viginevyo Bwana bhuinyu ngabhayelepi safi, lakini kwa kueli bhatakasiki.

15 avishvAsI jano yadi vA pR^ithag bhavati tarhi pR^ithag bhavatu; etena bhrAtA bhaginI vA na nibadhyate tathApi vayamIshvareNa shAntaye samAhUtAH|

Lakini mwenzi yaiaminilepi kabhokai na alotai. Kwa namna eyu, mhaja au ndhombho bhifungibhwalepi ni fiapo fya bhene. K'yara atukutili kwa amani.

16 he nAri tava bharttuH paritrANaM tvatto bhaviShyati na veti tvayA kiM j nAyate? he nara tava jAyAyAH paritrANaM tvatte bhaviShyati na veti tvayA kiM j nAyate?

Wimanyala bhuli kama ndala, huenda ilota kumwokola ngosibhu? Au wimanya bhuli kama ngosi, huenda ilotakumwola ndalabhu?

17 ekaiko janaH parameshvarAllabdhaM yad bhajate yasyA nchAvasthAyAm IshvareNAhvAyi tadanusAreNaivAcharatu tadahaM sarvvasamAjasthAn AdishAmi|

Khila mmonga tu aishi maisha kama Bwana akibhagabhili, khila mmonga kama K'yara akibhakutili bhene. Obho ni mwongozo wa nene kwa makanisa ghoha.

18 Chinnatvag bhR^itvA ya AhUtaH sa prakR^iShTatvak na bhavatu, tadvad aChinnatvag bhUtvA ya AhUtaH sa Chinnatvak na bhavatu|

Ayele yataharibhu pakutibhu kuamini? Akolokujaribu kubhoka alama ya tohara ya muene.

19 tvakChedaH sAro nahi tadvadatvakChedo. api sAro nahi kintvIshvarasyAj nAnAM pAlanameva|

Ayele yeywoha yhola yakutibhu mu imani ataharibhulepi wala yabelili kutahiribhwa kuyelepi matatizo. Kakujele ni matatizo ni kutii amri sa K'yara.

20 yo jano yasyAmavasthAyAmAhvAyi sa tasyAmevAvatiShThatAM|

Khila mmonga abakilai mu wito kayele pakutibhu ni K'yara kuamini.

21 dAsaH san tvaM kimAhUto. asi? tanmA chintaya, tathAcha yadi svatantro bhavituM shaknuyAstarhi tadeva vR^iNu|

Wayele mtumwa wakati K'yara pakukutili? Ukolokujali kuhusu eyu. Lakini kama wibhuesya kuya huru, fuanyai naha.

22 yataH prabhunAhUto yo dAsaH sa prabho rmochitajanaH| tadvad tenAhUtaH svatantro jano. api khrIShTasya dAsa eva|

Kwa mmonga yaikutibhwa ni Bwana kama mtumwa ni munu huru mu Bwana. Kama khela, yayele huru pakutibhu kuamini ni mtumwa wa Kristu.

23 yUyaM mUlyena krItA ato heto rmAnavAnAM dAsA mA bhavata|

Mmali kugholibhwa kwa thamani, henu mkolokuya bhatumwa bhanadamu.

24 he bhrAtaro yasyAmavasthAyAM yasyAhvAnamabhavat tayA sa Ishvarasya sAkShAt tiShThatu|

Mhaja ni ndhombho bhangu, mu maisha ghoghoha khila mmonga watete twakutibhwai kuamini, tubakilai khela.

Henu, bhala bhoa ambabho bhabhabelili kugega kamwe, nujihe ni amri kuhoma kwa Bwana. Lakini nikabhaphela maoni ghangu kama nikiyele kwa huruma sa Bwana, sasiaminika

26 varttamAnAt kleshasamayAt manuShyasyAnUDhatvaM bhadramiti mayA budhyate|

Henu nifikirila naha kwa ndabha ya usumbufu, ni kinofu ngosi abakilai kama kayele.

27 tvaM kiM yoShiti nibaddho. asi tarhi mochanaM prAptuM mA yatasva| kiM vA yoShito mukto. asi? tarhi jAyAM mA gaveShaya|

Ufungibhu kwa ndala ni kiapo kya ndobho? Kolokulonda uhuru kuhoma henu. Uyele huru kuhoma kwa ndala au ugegekibhu lepi? Ukolokulonda ndala.

Lakini kama ugegeli ufanyili lepi dhambi Na kama ndala agegekibhu lepi agegekibhu, afanyililepi hambi. Bado bhala bhigegana bhikabha masumbufu gha aina mbalimbali. Ninene nilonda nibhaepusyai aghu.

29 he bhrAtaro. ahamidaM bravImi, itaH paraM samayo. atIva saMkShiptaH,

Lakini nikabhabhoka naha, mhaja ni ndhombho bhangu mudani ufupi. Tangu henu ni kuyendelela, bhla bhabhayele ni bhadala bhaishyai kama bhayehenabhu.

30 ataH kR^itadArairakR^itadArairiva rudadbhishchArudadbhiriva sAnandaishcha nirAnandairiva kretR^ibhishchAbhAgibhirivAcharitavyaM

Bhoa bhabhayele ni huzuni bhakifuanyai kama bhayele bhayelepi ni huzuni, ni bhoa bhabhinuna khenu kyokyokhela, kama bhamiliki hee kyokyokhela.

31 ye cha saMsAre charanti tai rnAticharitavyaM yata ihalekasya kautuko vichalati|

Na bhoa bhabhishughulika ni ulimwengu, bhayelai kama bhashughuliki lepi nabhu. Kwa ndabha mitindo ya dunia yifikira muishu bhwaki.

32 kintu yUyaM yannishchintA bhaveteti mama vA nChA| akR^itavivAho jano yathA prabhuM paritoShayet tathA prabhuM chintayati,

Nilonda muyelai huru kwa masumbufu ghoa, ngosi yabelili kugega akajihusisha ni henu fafikamhusu Bwana, namna ya kumpendesya muene.

33 kintu kR^itavivAho jano yathA bhAryyAM paritoShayet tathA saMsAraM chintayati|

Lakini ngosi yagegili kajihusisha ni mambo gha dunia, namna ya kumpendesya mdalamunu,

agawanyiki ndala yabelili kugegekibhwa au bikira kajihusisha ni fhenu kuhusu Bwana, namna ya kujitenga katika mbhelhe ni mu roho. Lakini ndala yagegekibhu kajihusisha ni fhenu dunia, namna ya kumfurahisya ngosi munu.

35 ahaM yad yuShmAn mR^igabandhinyA parikShipeyaM tadarthaM nahi kintu yUyaM yadaninditA bhUtvA prabhoH sevane. abAdham AsaktA bhaveta tadarthametAni sarvvANi yuShmAkaM hitAya mayA kathyante|

Nijobha naha kwa faia ya yhomo mwayhomo, na mbhekalepi nteghu kwayhomo. Nijobha naha kwa khela ni haki, ili kwamba mwibhuesya kwibheka wakfu kwa Bwana bila kikwazo kyokyokhela.

Lakini kama munu ifikirila ibhuesyalepi kuntendela kwa heshima mwana wali bha muene, kwa ndabha ya hisia sa muene sejele ni nghofho sana, lekai ageganai ni muene kama kaganili. Siyo dhambi.

37 kintu duHkhenAkliShTaH kashchit pitA yadi sthiramanogataH svamano. abhilAShasAdhane samarthashcha syAt mama kanyA mayA rakShitavyeti manasi nishchinoti cha tarhi sa bhadraM karmma karoti|

Lakini kama afuanyili maamuzi ghakutokugega, na kuyelepi haja ya lazima, na kama ibhuesya kutawala hamu ya muene ilokufuanya kinofu kama agegilepi.

38 ato yo vivAhaM karoti sa bhadraM karmma karoti yashcha vivAhaM na karoti sa bhadrataraM karmma karoti|

Henu, ambayi akangega mwanamwali wa muene ifuanya kinofu, na yeywoha yhola ambayi ichagula kutokugega ilokufuanya kinofu zaidi.

Ndala afungibhu ni ngosi munu wakati ayele hai. Lakini kama ndala kafwai, ayele huru kugegekibhwa ni yuywoha yhola yaaganili, lakini katika Bwana tu.

Nakhona mu maamuzi ghayhoni ilotakuya ni furaha zaidi kama kaiishi kayele. Na nifikirila kuya ninene kabhele niyele ni Roho wa K'yara.
