1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Hanu ku wamana ni ndava zi mu va ñoli: “Kulotu kuti mukwame sanzi akwati mukurwakazi.”
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Kono vakeñi cha miliko mingi ya vuvuki, zumwi ni zumwi mukwame ave ni mukurwakazi, mi zumwi ni zumwi mukurwakazi ave ni mukwam'a kwe.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
Mukwame u swanela kuha iswanelo zakwe ku mukurwakazi, mi ku ve vulyo ni ku mukurwakazi ku mukwam'a kwe.
4 The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
Kena kuti mukurwakazi wina mulao ku muvili wakwe, kono mukwame. Mi kuswana vulyo, ku mukwame kena mulao ku muvili wakwe, kono mukurwakazi.
5 Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Sanzi mu lichengi inwe muvene, kono cha kuzumizana mi che inako iswanela. Mu tende vulyo kuti muve vena inako ya kulapela. Linu mu volisane hamwina hape, ku tendela kuti javulusi sanzi amiliki kuti mwa vula kulisepa.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Kono ni cho izi zintu kwenu sina muhupulo isinyi cha kulaela.
7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
Ni lakaza kuti kambe zumwi ni zumwi u swana sina njeme mu ni kalile. Kono zumwi ni zumwi wina impo yakwe izwa kwa Ireeza. Zumwi wina iyi impo, mi zumwi wina ina.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
Ku va sa sesetwe mi kwi mbelwa ni cho kuti kwina hande kuti ve kale ni va sa sesetwe, sina mu nina.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
Kono hava kangwa kuli kwata avo veene, va woola ku sesa. Imi kwina hande kuti ve kale ni vantu kunde ya kwi hayiwa intakazo.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
Hanu ku va lisesete ni ha uwo mulao- nata ime, kono nji Simwine: Mukurwakazi ka swaneli ku siya mukwam'a kwe.”
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Kono heva na siya mukwam'a kwe, u swanela kwi kala na sena mukwame kapa vali swalele. Mi” mukwame ka swaneli kukana mwihyavwe.”
12 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.
Kono ku voose ni cho- Ime, isinyi Simwine - kuti heva zumwi ya sa mukurwakazi ya sa lumere, mi heva na saka kwi kala ni mukwame, ka swaneli ku swaneli ku kauhana.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
Heva mukurwakazi wina mukwame asa lumere, mi na tavela kwi kala naye, ka swaneli ku muhindika.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
Imi mukwame ya sa lumere u lukulwilwe vakeñi cha mukurwakazi wakwe, mi mukurwakazi ya sa lumere u lukulwilwe vakeñi cha mulikan'a kwe. Kusicwalo vaana venu ni va vavi va sa njolwele, kono aho va lukulwilwe.
15 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 us in peace.
Kono heva mulikani ya sa lumere u yenda, mu siye a yende. Mwinzila zina vulyo, mulikani wa mukwame kapa wa mukurwakazi kena u su minwe ku mulao. Ireeza ava tusupi kuti tuhale mwi konzo.
16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Imi ka mwi zive vule, mukurwakazi, kapa ka mu puluse va kwame venu? Kapa ka mwi zive vule, mukwame, kapa ka muhaze va kurwakazi venu?
17 Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
Konji ku siya vulyo kuti muhale vuhalo uvo Simwine ava tuhi, ku zumwi uvo Ireeza ava supili. Nji mulao wangu ku kereke zonse.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
Kana kwina ya va nyi kumupato ha sumpwa kuti a lumere? Kana kwina zumwi ya sena avali kwina mu mupato ha sumpwa kwi tumelo? Sanzi a pangwa mupato.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
Imi kena kuti konji heva wina mupato kapa ku sa va ni mupato nji vileza. Kono chi sakahala kwi chilila milao ya Ireeza.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
Zumwi ni zumwi u swanela ku va mu mayemo avali kwina pili na seni ku lumera.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Kena uvali u muhikane Ireeza cho kusupa? Sanzi u vileli ku wamana nezo. Kono heva no wola ku va yo sumunikite, u hinde vulotu vwa teni.
22 For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
Mi zumwi cho sumpwa cha Simwine ku va muhikana u lukulwilwe cha Simwine. Kwina vulyo sina zumwi yo lukuluhite cho sumpwa ku ku lumera vuhikana vwa Kreste.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
Mu va wulwa che ngulo, cwale sanzi muvi vahikana vwa vakwame.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Vakwangu, ni ha mu va mu vuhalo vumwi vu muvahiti kuvuli ni museni ku lumera, mu siye twikale vulyo.
25 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.
Hanu kuamana navo vaseni kuseswa, kanina intaelo ya Simwine. Kono ni hitisa maikuto angu, ka chi shemo cha Simwine, chi sepahale.
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
Linu, ni hupula kuti ivaka lya vukavo vukaza, kulotu kuti muntu ekale vo vulyo mwekalile.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
Musu mininwe ku mukurwakazi? sanzi usaki ku sumununwa kwali. Kolisumine ku mukurwakazi? Sanzi ugani mukurwakazi.
28 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.
Kono niho sesa, ko tendi chivi. Mi haiva mukurwakazi yasa sesetwe na seswa, kana tenda chivi. Kono avova sesa muvave ni manyando mangi mu vuhalo, ni saka ku mi kauhanya kuzili.
29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
Kono izi ni wamba, vakwangu: Inako infuhi. kuzwa hanu, misiye avo
30 and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;
vena vakurwakazi va ve uvu kavena. Avo valila va ve uvu kavalili, mi avo va tavite vave uvu kava tavite, mi avo va wula zintu vave uvu vasa kwete zintu.
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
Mi avo vasevelisa ze inkanda vave uvu kava zili tusisi, kakuti mukwa weyi inkanda kusike hakumana.
32 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;
Ni tavela kuti mu lukuluhe kwi tongosi. Vantu va sa sesete vena chiseho ku wamana ni zintu za Simwine, mu va swanela ku mu lumbeka.
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Kono va kwame va sesete avo vena chiseho ya ku tavisa va kurwakazi va vo-
34 There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.
u kauhene. Va sa sesetwe va kurwakazi kapa va lyanjo va vilela ku wamana ni zintu za Simwine, mu va swanela ku njololeza mivili ya vo mi mu luhuho. Kono va kurwakazi va sesetwe vena hulu mu ku vilezwa za va kwame vavo mu va swanela ku va taviseza.
35 This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
Ni wamba izi ku tendela kuti mu wane chimwi, mi isinyi ku mi vika mu mulandu. Ni wamba izi imi nji shiyeme, kutendela kuti mu ve va yemukite Kwa Simwine ni ku sena nangati ku sitatala.
36 But if any man 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 doesn’t sin. Let them marry.
Kono heva zumwi na hupula kuti katendi hande mulikan'a kwe che kute - heva na hitilile zilimo zakwe za maseso mi ku woleka kuva vulyo- u wola kupanga mwa sakila. kena kuti utenda chivi. Va swanela ku sesa.
37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
Kono heva ni va zimene cha kukola mwi kulo zavo, heva na sa chukumiswe kono na wola kuliyeleza muhupulo wakwe, mi heva ava hindi muhato mwi kulo ya kwe wa ku tenda vulyo, ku vikila mulikan'a kwe muvili wa kwe, mwa tende hande.
38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
Cwale uzo zumwi yo sesa mulikan'a u panga hande, mi uzo zumwi yo liketela ku sa sesa upanga hande mane ni kuhita.
39 A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
Mukurwakazi u suminwe ku mukwam'a kwe kutwala ma manimani avuhalo vwakwe. Kono heva mukwam'a kwe cha fwa, u lukuluhite ku sesa, kono konji cha Simwine.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
Imi cha mulao wangu mwa wole ku sanga heva ne kale mwena. Mi Ni hupula kuti na me ni na Luhuho lwa Ireeza
