1 Wakorintho 6
1 Mmoja wenu anapokuwa na tatizo na mwenzake, anathubutu kwenda kwa mahakama ya wasio haki kuliko mbele ya waumini?
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Hamjui kuwa waumini watauhukumu ulimwengu? Na kama mtauhukumu ulimwengu, hamuwezi kuamua mambo yasiyo muhimu?
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Hamjui kuwa tutawahukumu malaika? Kwa kiasi gani zaidi, tunaweza kuamua mambo ya maisha haya?
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 Kama tunaweza kuhukumu mambo ya maisha haya, kwa nini mnathubutu kupeleka mashitaka mbele ya wasiosimama kanisani?
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the assembly.
5 Nasema haya kwa aibu yenu. Hakuna mwenye busara miongoni mwenu wa kutosha kuweka mambo sawa kati ya ndugu na ndugu?
I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6 Lakini kama ilivyo sasa, mwamini mmoja huenda mahakamani dhidi ya muumini mwingine, na mashitaka hayo huwekwa mbele ya hakimu asiyeamini!
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7 Ukweli ni kwamba kuna matatizo katikati ya Wakristo yaliyoleta tayari usumbufu kwenu. Kwanini msiteseke kwa mabaya? Kwanini mnakubali kudanganywa?
Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Lakini mmetenda uovu na kudanganya wengine, na hao ni kaka na dada zenu!
Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 Hamjui kwamba wasio haki hawataurithi ufalme wa Mungu? Msiamini uongo. Waasherati, waabudu sanamu, wazinzi, wafiraji, walawiti,
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of YHWH? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 wevi, wachoyo, walevi, wanyang'anyi, watukanaji-hakuna miongoni mwao atakayeurithi ufalme wa Mungu.
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of YHWH.
11 Na hao walikuwa baadhi yao ni ninyi. Lakini mmekwisha kutakaswa, lakini mmekwisha kuoshwa, lakini mmekwisha kutengwa kwa Mungu, lakini mmefanywa haki mbele za Mungu katika jina la Bwana Yesu Kristo na kwa Roho wa Mungu wetu.
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are set apart, but ye are justified in the name of the Master Yahushua, and by the Spirit of our Elohim.
12 “Vitu vyote ni halali kwangu”, lakini si kila kitu kina faida. “Vitu vyote ni halali kwangu,” lakini sitatawaliwa na kimoja cha hivyo.
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 “Chakula ni kwa ajili ya tumbo, na tumbo ni kwa ajili ya chakula,” lakini Mungu atavitowesha vyote. Mwili haujaumbwa kwa ajili ya ukahaba, badala yake, mwili ni kwa ajili ya Bwana, na Bwana atauhudumia mwili.
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but YHWH shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for YHWH; and YHWH for the body.
14 Mungu alimfufua Bwana na sisi pia atatufufua kwa nguvu zake.
And YHWH hath both raised up Yahushua, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15 Hamjui kwamba miili yenu ina muunganiko na Kristo? Mwawezaje kuvitoa viungo vya Kristo na kwenda kuviunganisha na kahaba? Haiwezekani!
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of the Messiah? shall I then take the members of the Messiah, and make them the members of an harlot? By no means.
16 Hamjui kwamba anayeungana na kahaba amekuwa mwili mmoja naye? Kama andiko lisemavyo, “Wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja.”
What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 Lakini anayeungana na Bwana anakuwa roho moja pamoja naye.
But he that is joined unto YHWH is one spirit.
18 Ikimbieni zinaa! “Kila dhambi aifanyayo mtu ni nje na mwili wake. Lakini zinaa, mtu hutenda dhambi dhidi ya mwili wake mwenyewe.
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that commiteth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 Hamjui kuwa miili yenu ni hekalu la Roho Mtakatifu, akaaye ndani yenu, yule ambaye mlipewa kutoka kwa Mungu? Hamjui kwamba si ninyi wenyewe?
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of YHWH, and ye are not your own?
20 Kwamba mlinunuliwa kwa thamani. Kwa hiyo mtukuzeni Mungu kwa miili yenu.
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify YHWH in your body, and in your spirit, which are His.
