1 Ukorintiyawa 7
1 Nene ubellen nimon ulenge na iwa nyertu udak kiti nig: abu duku na caun na nnit, na awa nno nin nwani me ba.
Now concerning the thing whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Vat nani barra idumuzunu nadu nzina, ko uyeme unit yita nin nwani litime, ko uyeme uwani yita nin nles litimee.
But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Ame ules ba ni uwani me ule imon na ikifo anighe uwani tutun udu kiti nles me.
Let the husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner to the husband.
4 Na uwani dinin likara kitine kidowo me ba, ulesse re, nanere ulese dinin likara kitene kidowo me ba, ame uwane re.
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Na iwa nazuzu atimine ni linonin kiti kirumba mine se nin yinnu mine nin kubi ko na anun nfere, bara inann nå atimine kiti nliran, ikuru, ida munun tutuun, bara shetan wa dumun muna nin salin nkifu natimine.
Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.
6 Meng bellu munu ule imone uyinuari na ita munu kuwa ri ba.
But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.
7 Usu nighere nworo kogha wa nafo na meng di bara kogha dinin ume udadiuwe kiti Kutellẹ. Umon uleli, umon ulele.
For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.
8 Kiti nale na isa su ilugma ba, nin nawani allenge na ales mine na kuzu, meng belle ucaun kitimine iso sa ilugma nafo meng.
But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.
9 Andi na iwasa nani isu llugma nin nworo ijuju zu ninlip.
But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.
10 Nene udu kiti na nan nilugma, meng na munu uduka-na miari ba ame Cikilar: “Na uwani nwa molu ilugma nin nles ma na.”
But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.
11 Bara asa molo nin nlese, na aso sa ilugma, andi na nani ba, kpilla kiti nlese, “Na ules nwa ko uwani me ba.”
And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.
12 Nin nani kagisine nbelle (miari na Ciikilari ari ba) nworo asa nkan gwana dinin nwani una nsalin nyinnu sa uyenu amini din lanzu nmang lisosine ninghe, na awa koghe ba.
For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 Nanere asa uwani dinin nles una nsali nyinnu, sa uyenu amini din lanzu nmang lisosin ninghe, yenje awa molu ilugma.
And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
14 Bara ules una nsalin nyinnu abaa se useru bara uwane unan yinnu sa uyenu nanere wang uwani bara ules me unan yinnu, an na nanii ba nono mine wadi anan dinon kidegen iba seru nani.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband: otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.
15 Asa unan durtu Kutellẹ sosin ligowe nin nan salin dortu Kutellẹ, nworo na iba so ligowe ba, na iwutun, nan nya imus nilele gwana kilime sa kishono alkawali ntereghe ba, Kutellẹ na yyicila nari tiso top.
But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.
16 Bara iziyari fe ba yinnu, uwani, sa fere ba utucun nles fe? ulles uyir, sa fere ba utucun nwanife?
For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17 Cas na kogha su lisosin lo na Cikilari na kosu nani mun, ulenge na Kutellẹ na yicila nnani mun, ulelere uduka nighe nanya natie nlira vat.
But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.
18 I wa yicila umon nin kalu kucuru nanya iyinnu sa uyena? Na awa kala kullap kucure ba kubi ko na iwa yicila umon sa udiru nkalu kucuru nan nya yinnu sa uyena? Iwa awa kala ghe kucure ba.
Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Na ukallu sa usalin kallu kucuru unere imomon ba, ule imon na idi suwe inere udortu nduka Kutellẹ.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.
20 Na ko gha so nan nya nyicilu me na Kutellẹ wa yicila ghe ada yinin.
Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.
21 Uwa di kucina kubi ko na Kutellẹ wa yicila fia? Na uwa dama kitene ba, bara unan uso töp su nanni.
Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22 Bara ulle na Cikilari na yicilaghe nafo kucin, Cikilari na bunku ghe, nanere ulle na ina bunku ghe kubi na iwa yicilaghe ayinin a uyinu ame kucin Kristi.
For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.
23 Iwa seru munu nin tamani, na iwa lawa acin nannit ba.
You are bought with a price; be not made the bondslaves of men.
24 Nuwana nilime nan nishono, ko iyaghari na nan nya ko lome iwa di nanye, iwa yicila nari tiyinin na ti so nani.
Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
25 Nene kiti na allenge na isa su ilugma ba, na ndinin nduka unuzu nCikilari ba, Meng nna ukpilizu nigh nafo umon ulle na, Cikilari na Lanza nkunekune nigh, amini na yinin nin mie.
Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.
26 Bara nani, Meng di nkpizilu bara uniu nbun ucaun unit so inda na adi.
I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.
27 Uterin kiti nwani bara islin nilugma? Na uwa piziru ubunke, kiti ni nin ba. Yenje una bunku ilugma inani sosin sa ilugma? Na uwa piziru uwani ba.
Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 Uwa usu ulugma, na usu kulapi ba, asa uwani nsali nilugma, nsu ilugma, na ata kulapi ba, vat alle na isu ilugma iba yitu nin fizu nayi gbardang. Ndinin su nkosu munu nanghinu.
But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.
29 Bara nanii meng belle, nwana nilime nan nishomo, (Kubi Karin ba. Uyiru nene udu nbun alle na idinin nawani na iso nafo na idumun ba.
This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;
30 Allenge na idi kuculu ba.) Anan liburi libo, na isu nafo na idi nin liburi libo ba, allenge na isere ko iyang, so nafo na anan nimon nacara ba.
And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31 Allenghe na idi lanzu mang nye, na iso nafo nna allenge na idi lanzu nmang ba, bara ucin nye ba dak ligan.
And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32 Meng dinin su ishutu nan nya nsali noku kibinai, gankilime una nsali nilugma, din cizu kibinai me kiti nCikilari a póghe ayi.
But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.
33 Unit anan nilugma din cisu nibinai kiti nimon nnyi aba tiyiziya apo awani mi kibinai.
But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided.
34 Ame nkoso, nanere tutun unit unan sali nilugma, sa kuburu ita nibinai nimon nCikilari, inda na iba so lau nan nya nidowo nan nruhu, ame uwani nilugma din ti kibinai nimon nnyi, ules lanza nmang me.
And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 Nna bellin munu ilele bara atiminere, a na ntimunu libarda ba, bara imon icine, inan nna atimine kiti Ncikilari sa ukosu kibinai.
And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.
36 Asa umon din kpilizu na adi su gegeme kiti nle na ibasu ilugma ba, a ame kubure nyenju akus me din nkatuzu, bara ntok nayi me dinin likara na isu ilugma, na kulapi ari ba.
But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.
37 Awa yiru kibinai me na abasu ilugma ba, na ubellen doli duku ba, aasa akifo ntok litime abasu gegeme, an di na asu ilugma ghe ba.
For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.
38 Ulenge na asu lugma nin kubura me asu gegeme, ame ulle na afere na aba su Uugma ba, nani katin.
Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.
39 Uwani terin kiti nles me vat nayiri lisosin mine, asa ulese nku, ibunku ghe, asu imon ilugma, ulle na kibinai me inyinna isu ilugma, vat nin nani nanya nCikilari cas.
A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40 Nanya nnag ushara aba se liburi libo, awa so nafo na lisosin me adi, Meng din kpilizu ndinin Ruhu ulau Kutellẹ.
But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.
