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 things whereof all of you wrote unto 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.
Nevertheless, to avoid 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 unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto 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 has not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has 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 all of you not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that all of you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6 Meng bellu munu ule imone uyinuari na ita munu kuwa ri ba.
But I speak this by permission, and not of 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 I myself. But every man has his proper gift of 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.
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 Andi na iwasa nani isu llugma nin nworo ijuju zu ninlip.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
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.”
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart 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.”
But and if she depart, let her 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.
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother has a wife that believes not, and she be pleased 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 the woman which has an husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
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 wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they 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 unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God has called us to peace.
16 Bara iziyari fe ba yinnu, uwani, sa fere ba utucun nles fe? ulles uyir, sa fere ba utucun nwanife?
For what know you, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? or how know you, O man, whether you shall save your 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 God has distributed to every man, as the Lord has called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
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 become uncircumcised. Is any 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 keeping 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 wherein 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.
Are you called being a servant? care not for it: but if you may 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 servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
23 Iwa seru munu nin tamani, na iwa lawa acin nannit ba.
All of you are bought with a price; be not all of you the servants 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 is 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: yet I give my judgment, as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
26 Bara nani, Meng di nkpizilu bara uniu nbun ucaun unit so inda na adi.
I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, 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.
Are you bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Are you 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 and if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in 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.
But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remains, that both they that have wives be as though 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 though 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 not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passes 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 without carefulness. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33 Unit anan nilugma din cisu nibinai kiti nimon nnyi aba tiyiziya apo awani mi kibinai.
But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
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.
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: (pneuma) but she that is married cares for 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 own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that all of you may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
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 behaves himself indecent toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sins not: let them 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.
Nevertheless he that stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, does well.
38 Ulenge na asu lugma nin kubura me asu gegeme, ame ulle na afere na aba su Uugma ba, nani katin.
So then he that gives her in marriage does well; but he that gives her not in marriage does 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.
The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married 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 she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit (pneuma) of God.
