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.
Torej glede stvari, o katerih ste mi pisali: ›Dobro je za moškega ne dotikati se ženske.‹
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Kljub temu naj ima, v izogib prešuštvovanju, vsak mož svojo lastno ženo in vsaka ženska naj ima svojega lastnega soproga.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
Naj soprog ženi vrača dolžno dobrohotnost in prav tako žena soprogu.
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.
Žena nima oblasti nad svojim lastnim telesom, temveč soprog. In prav tako tudi soprog nima oblasti nad svojim lastnim telesom, temveč žena.
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.
Ne prikrajšujta se drug drugemu, razen če je to s soglasjem za nekaj časa, da se lahko predata postu in molitvi; in ponovno pridita skupaj, da vaju zaradi vajinega pomanjkanja samoobvladovanja ne skuša Satan.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Toda to govorim z dovoljenjem in ne po zapovedi.
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.
Kajti želim, da bi bili vsi ljudje kakor jaz. Toda vsak človek ima svoj primeren dar od Boga, eden na ta način, drugi pa na drug.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
Torej neporočenim in vdovam pravim: »Zanje je dobro, če ostanejo kakor jaz.«
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
Toda če se ne morejo brzdati, naj se poročé; kajti bolje se je poročiti kakor plameneti.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
Poročenim pa naročam, čeprav ne jaz, temveč Gospod: »Naj žena ne odide od svojega soproga.
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Toda če odide, naj ostane neomožena ali naj se pobota k svojemu soprogu, in soprog naj svoje žene ne odslovi.«
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.
Toda drugim govorim jaz, ne Gospod: »Če ima katerikoli brat ženo, ki ne veruje in je zadovoljna, da prebiva z njim, naj je ne odslovi.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
In ženska, ki ima soproga, ki ne veruje in če je zadovoljen, da prebiva z njo, naj ga ona ne zapusti.
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.
Kajti neverni soprog je posvečen po ženi in neverna žena je posvečena po soprogu; sicer bi bili vaši otroci nečisti, toda sedaj so sveti.
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.
Toda če neverni odide, naj odide. Brat ali sestra v teh primerih nista pod suženjstvom; toda Bog nas je poklical k miru.
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?
Kajti kaj veš ti, oh žena, če boš rešila svojega soproga? Ali kako veš ti, oh mož, če boš rešil svojo ženo?«
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.
Toda kakor je Bog vsakemu človeku razdelil, kakor je Gospod vsakogar poklical, tako naj hodi. In tako določam v vseh cerkvah.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
Ali je poklican katerikoli mož, ki je obrezan? Naj ne postane neobrezan. Ali je kateri poklican neobrezan? Naj ne bo obrezan.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
Obreza ni nič in neobreza ni nič, temveč izpolnjevanje Božjih zapovedi.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
Naj vsak ostane v isti poklicanosti, v katero je bil poklican.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Ali si bil poklican kot služabnik? Ne skrbi za to. Toda če lahko postaneš svoboden, to vsekakor izkoristi.
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.
Kajti kdor je poklican v Gospodu kot služabnik, je Gospodov osvobojenec; prav tako tudi kdor je poklican kot svoboden, je Kristusov služabnik.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
Odkupljeni ste za ceno; ne bodite služabniki ljudem.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Bratje, naj vsak ostane z Bogom v tem, v čemer je bil poklican.
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.
Torej glede devic nimam zapovedi od Gospoda; čeprav dam svoje mnenje kakor nekdo, ki je dosegel usmiljenje od Gospoda, da je zvest.
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
Domnevam torej, da je to dobro zaradi sedanje stiske; pravim, da je to dobro za človeka, da je tako.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
Ali si vezan k ženi? Ne skušaj biti razvezan. Ali si razvezan od žene? Ne išči žene.
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.
Toda če pa se poročiš, nisi grešil; in če se devica poroči, ni grešila. Vendar bodo taki imeli stisko v mesu; toda prizanašam vam.
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;
Toda pravim to, bratje, čas je kratek. Preostaja to, da so tisti, ki imajo žene, kakor da jih ne bi imeli;
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;
in tisti, ki jokajo, kakor ne bi jokali; in tisti, ki se veselijo, kakor da se ne bi veselili; in tisti, ki kupujejo, kakor ne bi imeli v lasti;
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
in tisti, ki uporabljajo ta svet, kakor ga ne bi zlorabljali; kajti videz tega sveta mineva.
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;
Toda hočem, da ste brez skrbi. Kdor je neporočen, skrbi za stvari, ki pripadajo Gospodu, kako bi lahko ugajal Gospodu;
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
toda kdor je poročen, skrbi za stvari, ki so od sveta, kako bi lahko ugajal svoji ženi.
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.
Razlika je tudi med ženo in devico. Neporočena ženska skrbi za Gospodove stvari, da bi bila lahko sveta, tako v telesu kakor v duhu; toda tista, ki je poročena, skrbi za svetne stvari, kako bi lahko ugodila svojemu soprogu.
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.
In to govorim v vašo lastno korist; ne da bi na vas lahko vrgel zanko, temveč k temu kar je ljubko in da bi lahko nemoteno služili Gospodu.
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.
Toda če kateri človek misli, da se do svoje device vede nespodobno, če je minil cvet njenih let in potreba tako zahteva, naj stôri, kar hoče, ne greši; naj se poročita.
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.
Vendar kdor v svojem srcu neomajno stoji in nima nujne potrebe, temveč ima oblast nad svojo lastno voljo in je v svojem srcu tako določil, da bo ohranil svojo devico, stori pravilno.
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.
Tako torej kdor jo daje v zakon, stori pravilno; toda kdor je ne daje v zakon, stori bolje.
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.
Žena je vezana s postavo, dokler njen soprog živi; toda če njen soprog umre, je prosta, da se poroči s komer hoče; le v Gospodu.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
Toda po moji sodbi je srečnejša, če ostane tako; in mislim, da imam tudi jaz Božjega Duha.
