1 Korintoarrei 7
1 Eta scribatu drautaçuen gaucéz den becembatean, on da guiçonaren emazteric ez hunquitzea.
With reference to the subjects about which you wrote to me: It would be well for a man to remain single.
2 Baina paillardiçari ihes eguiteagatic, batbederac bere emaztea biu, eta batbederac bere senharra biu.
But, owing to the prevalence of immorality, I advise every man to have his own wife, and every woman her husband.
3 Emazteari senharrac çor draucan onheriztea renda bieçó: eta halaber emazteac-ere senharrari.
A husband should give his wife her due, and a wife her husband.
4 Emazteac bere gorputza eztu bere bothereco: baina senharrac: eta halaber senharrac-ere bere gorputza eztu bere bothereco, baina emazteac.
It is not the wife, but the husband, who exercises power over her body; and so, too, it is not the husband, but the wife, who exercises power over his body.
5 Ezteçaçuela defrauda batac bercea cembeit demboratacotz consentimendu batez ezpada, baruretan eta orationetan emplega çaiteztençát: eta harçara elkargana itzul çaitezte, Satanec tenta etzaitzatençát çuen incontinentiagatic
Do not deprive each other of what is due — unless it is only for a time and by mutual consent, so that your minds may be free for prayer till you again live as man and wife — lest Satan should take advantage of your want of self-control and tempt you.
6 Baina haur erraiten dut permissionez, ez manamenduz.
I say this, however, as a concession, not as a command.
7 Ecen nahi nuque guiçon guciac liraden ni beçala: baina batbederac bere dohain propria du Iaincoaganic, batac hunela eta berceac hala.
I should wish every one to be just what I am myself. But every one has his own gift from God — one in one way, and one in another.
8 Bada erraiten drauet ezcondu-gabey eta alharguney, on dela hayençat, baldin badaudez ni beçala.
My advice, then, to those who are not married, and to widows, is this: It would be well for them to remain as I am myself.
9 Baina baldin continent ezpadirade, ezcon bitez: ecen hobe da ezconcea ecen ez erre içatea.
But, if they cannot control themselves, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be consumed with passion.
10 Eta ezconduey denuntiatzen drauet, ez nic baina Iaunac, Emaztea senharraganic eztadin parti.
To those who are married my direction is — yet it is not mine, but the Master’s — that a woman is not to leave her husband
(If she has done so, let her remain as she is, or else be reconciled to her husband) and also that a man is not to divorce his wife.
12 Baina bercey nic erraiten drauet, ez Iaunac, Baldin cembeit anayec emazte infidela badu, eta emazteac consentitzen badu harequin habitatzera, ezteçan hura vtzi.
To all others I say — I, not the Master — If a Brother is married to a woman, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with him, he should not divorce her;
13 Eta baldin cembeit emaztec senhar infidela badu, eta senharrac consentitzen badu harequin habitatzera, ezteçan hura vtzi.
and a woman who is married to a man, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with her, should not divorce her husband.
14 Ecen sanctificatu da senhar infidela emazteaz, eta sanctificatu da emazte infidela senharraz: bercela çuen haourrac satsu lirateque: baina orain saindu dirade.
For, through his wife, the husband who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ’s People; and the wife who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ’s People through our Brother whom she has married. Otherwise your children would be ‘defiled,’ but, as it is, they belong to Christ’s People.
15 Eta baldin infidela partitzen bada, parti dadin ecen ezta suiet anayea edo arrebá halaco gaucetan: baina baquera deithu gaithu Iaincoac.
However, if the unbeliever wishes to be separated, let him be so. Under such circumstances neither the Brother nor the Sister is bound; God has called you to live in peace.
16 Ecen cer daquin emazteá, eya senharra saluaturen dunanez? edo cer daquic senharrá, eya emaztea saluaturen duanez?
How can you tell, wife, whether you may not save your husband? and how can you tell, husband, whether you may not save your wife?
17 Baina nola batbederari dohaina partitu baitrauca Iaincoac, nola batbedera deithu baitu Iaunac, hala ebil bedi: eta hunela Eliça gucietan ordenatzen dut.
In any case, a man should continue to live in the condition which the Lord has allotted to him, and in which he was when God called him. This is the rule that I lay down in every Church.
18 Circoncidituric norbeit deithu içan da? ezterakarran preputioa: preputioan norbeit deithu içan da? eztadila circoncidi.
Was a man already circumcised when he was called? Then he should not efface his circumcision. Has a man been called when uncircumcised? Then he should not be circumcised.
19 Circoncisionea ezta deus, eta preputioa ezta deus: baina Iaincoaren manamenduén beguiratzea.
Circumcision is nothing; the want of it is nothing; but to keep the commands of God is everything.
20 Batbedera cer vocationetan deithu içan baita hartan bego.
Let every one remain in that condition of life in which he was when the Call came to him.
21 Sclabo deithu aiz? eztuála arranguraric: baina baldin are libre eguin ahal bahadi, harçaz lehen vsat eçac.
Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let that trouble you. No, even if you are able to gain your freedom, still do your best.
22 Ecen Iaunean deithu içan den sclaboa, Iaunaren libre da: eta halaber libre dethua, Christen sclabo da.
For the man who was a slave when he was called to the master’s service is the Master’s freed-man; so, too, the man who was free when called is Christ’s slave.
23 Precioz erossiac çareté, etzaretela guiçonén sclabo.
You were bought, and the price was paid. Do not let yourselves become slaves to men.
24 Batbedera certan deithu içan baita, anayeác, hartan bego Iaincoa baithan.
Brothers, let every one remain in the condition in which he was when he was called, in close communion with God.
25 Eta virginéz den becembatean Iaunaren manamenduric eztut: baina coseillu emaiten drauçuet, Iaunaganic fidel içatera misericordia vkan dudanac beçala.
With regard to unmarried women, I have no command from the Master to give you, but I tell you my opinion, and it is that of a man whom the Master in his mercy has made worthy to be trusted.
26 Estimatzen dut bada haour on dela presenteco necessitateagatic, ecen on dela guiçonarendaco hunela içatea.
I think, then, that, in view of the time of suffering that has now come upon us, what I have already said is best — that a man should remain as he is.
27 Emazterequin lothua aiz? ezteçála bilha separationeric: emazteaganic lachatu aiz? ezteçála bilha emazteric.
Are you married to a wife? Then do not seek to be separated. Are you separated from a wife? Then do not seek for a wife.
28 Bada baldin ezcon bahadi-ere, eztuc bekaturic eguin: eta baldin ezcon badadi virginá, eztu bekaturic eguin: baina halacoéc tribulatione vkanen duté haraguian: baina nic guppida çaituztet.
still, if you should marry, that is not wrong; nor, if a young woman marries, is that wrong. But those who marry will have much trouble to bear, and my wish is to spare you.
29 Baina haur erraiten drauçuet, anayeác, ecen demborá labur dela hemendic harát, emaztedunac-ere, emazteric ezpalute beçala diraden:
What I mean, Brothers, is this — the time is short. Meanwhile, let those who have wives live as if they had none,
30 Eta nigarrez daudenac, nigarrez ezpalaude beçala: eta aleguera diradenac, aleguera ezpalirade beçala: eta erosten dutenac, posseditzen ezpaluté beçala:
those who are weeping as if not weeping, those who are rejoicing as if not rejoicing, those who buy as if not possessing,
31 Eta mundu hunez vsatzen dutenac, vsatzen ezpaluté beçala: ecen mundu hunen figurá iragan doa.
and those who use the good things of the world as using them sparingly; for this world as we see it is passing away.
32 Eta nahi nuque çuec arrangura gabe cineten. Emazte gabe denac, artha du Iaunaren gaucéz, nolatan Iaunaren gogaraco daten:
I want you to be free from anxiety. The unmarried man is anxious about the Master’s Cause, desiring to please him;
33 Baina emaztedunac, artha du munduco gaucéz, nolatan emaztearen gogaraco daten.
while the married man is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please his wife;
34 Diuers dirade emazte ezcondua eta virginá: emazte ezcondu gabeac, artha du Iaunaren diraden gaucéz, gorputzez eta spirituz sainda dençát: baina emazte ezconduac, artha du munduco gaucéz, nolatan senharraren gogaraco daten.
and so his interests are divided. Again, the unmarried woman, whether she is old or young, is anxious about the Master’s Cause, striving to be pure both in body and in spirit, while the married woman is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please her husband.
35 Eta haur çuen probetchutan erraiten dut, ez laçoa eçar dieçaçuedençát: baina carazqui eta moldez Iaunari iuncta çaquizquiotençát empatchuric batre gabe.
I say this for your own benefit, not with any intention of putting a halter round your necks, but in order to secure for the Master seemly and constant devotion, free from all distraction.
36 Baina baldin edoceinec vste badu ecen desohore duela haren virginác bere adin florea iragan deçan, eta hala eguin behar dela: nahi duena begui, eztu bekaturic eguiten: ezcon bitez.
If, however, a father thinks that he is not acting fairly by his unmarried daughter, when she is past her youth, and if under these circumstances her marriage ought to take place, let him act as he thinks right. He is doing nothing wrong — let the marriage take place.
37 Baina bere bihotzean fermu dagoenac, necessitateric eztuela, baina du bere vorondate propriaren gainean puissança, eta haur deliberatu bere bihotzean, bere virginaren beguiratzera, vngui eguiten du.
On the other hand, a father, who has definitely made up his mind, and is under no compulsion, but is free to carry out his own wishes, and who has come to the decision, in his own mind, to keep his unmarried daughter at home will be doing right.
38 Bada, bere virginá ezconcen duenac, vngui eguiten du: baina ezconcen eztuenac, hobequi eguiten du.
In short, the one who consents to his daughter’s marriage is doing right, and yet the other will be doing better.
39 Emaztea lothua da legueaz haren senharra vici den dembora gucian: baina haren senharra hil badadi, libre da norequin nahi den ezconceco, solament gure Iaunean.
A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but, if the husband should pass to his rest, the widow is free to marry any one she wishes, provided he is a believer.
40 Baina dohatsuago da baldin hala badago, ene conseilluaren araura: eta estimatzen dut nic-ere Iaincoaren Spiritua badudala.
Yet she will be happier if she remains as she is — in my opinion, for I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
