1 Corinthians 7
1 But concerning the things of which ye have written [to me]: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman;
Bon. Koulye a ann wè keksyon nou te mande m' nan lèt nou an: Wi. Yon nonm fè byen si l' pa marye.
2 but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each [woman] have her own husband.
Men, sitèlman gen dezòd lachè deyò a, se pou chak gason gen madanm pa yo. Konsa tou, se pou chak fanm gen mari pa yo.
3 Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband.
Se pou gason an fè tout devwa yon mari dwe fè anvè madanm li. Konsa tou, se pou fanm lan fè tout devwa yon madanm dwe fè anvè mari li.
4 The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife.
Madanm lan pa ka fè sa l' vle ak kò li. Se pou mari a kò madanm lan ye. Konsa tou, yon mari pa ka fè sa l' vle ak kò li. Se pou madanm lan kò mari a ye.
5 Defraud not one another, unless, it may be, by consent for a time, that ye may devote yourselves to prayer, and again be together, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.
Piga yonn repouse lòt, esepte si nou te antann nou sou sa pou yon moman pou nou ka lapriyè. Men apre sa, tounen tounen nou ansanm pou n' viv tankou mari ak madanm. Si nou pa fè l' konsa, nou riske pa ka kontwole kò nou ankò. Lè sa a, n'a ka tonbe pi fasil nan pèlen Satan.
6 But this I say, as consenting [to], not as commanding [it].
Se pa yon lòd m'ap bay lè m' di sa, men se yon pèmisyon.
7 Now I wish all men to be even as myself: but every one has his own gift of God: one man thus, and another thus.
Pou di vre, mwen ta pito wè tout moun fè tankou mwen. Men, chak moun gen kado pa yo Bondye ba yo. Yon moun resevwa yon kalite kado, yon lòt moun resevwa yon lòt kalite kado.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I.
Men sa m'ap di moun ki pa marye yo ansanm ak vèv yo. Li ta pi bon pou yo rete tankou m', pou kont yo.
9 But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
Men, si nou pa ka kontwole kò nou, marye marye nou. Pito nou marye pase pou n' kite lanvi boule nou.
10 But to the married I enjoin, not I, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband;
Kanta pou moun marye yo, men lòd mwen ba yo (Sa pa soti nan mwen non, men nan Seyè a menm): Lè yon fanm marye, li pa dwe kite ak mari li.
11 (but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; ) and let not husband leave wife.
Si li rive kite avè l', se pou l' rete pou kont li, san l' pa remarye. Pase pou l' ta remarye, pito li tounen ak mari l' ankò. Konsa tou, yon mari pa dwe mete madanm li deyò.
12 But as to the rest, I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.
Pou lòt yo menm, men sa m'ap di: (Fwa sa a, sa se konsèy pa mwen. Sa pa soti nan Seyè a.) Si yon mari ki gen konfyans nan Kris la gen yon fanm ki pa gen konfyans nan Kris la, epi si fanm lan dakò pou l' kontinye viv avè l', mari a pa gen dwa mete l' deyò.
13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave [her] husband.
Konsa tou, si yon fanm ki gen konfyans nan Kris la gen yon mari ki li menm pa gen konfyans nan Kris la, epi si mari a dakò pou l' kontinye viv avè li, li pa fèt pou kite ak mari a.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since [otherwise] indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
Mari ki pa gen konfyans lan, Bondye asepte l' paske l'ap viv ansanm ak madanm li ki gen konfyans. Konsa tou, madanm ki pa gen konfyans lan, Bondye asepte l' paske l'ap viv ansanm ak mari l' ki gen konfyans. Si sa pa t' konsa, pitit nou yo ta tankou pitit moun lòt nasyon yo. Men, jan sa ye a, yo menm tou Bondye asepte yo.
15 But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such [cases], but God has called us in peace.
Men, si moun ki pa gen konfyans lan vle kite, li mèt kite. Nan ka sa a, frè a osinon sè a pa gen ankenn angajman ankò. Paske, Bondye rele nou pou nou viv ak kè poze.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, if thou shalt save thy husband? or what knowest thou, O husband, if thou shalt save thy wife?
Eske ou konnen, ou menm madanm ki gen konfyans lan, si ou p'ap sove mari ou? Eske ou konnen, ou menm mari ki gen konfyans lan, si ou p'ap sove madanm ou?
17 However, as the Lord has divided to each, as God has called each, so let him walk; and thus I ordain in all the assemblies.
Esepte nan ka sa a, se pou chak moun kontinye viv dapre kado Bondye ba yo, jan yo te ye lè Bondye te rele yo a. Se lòd sa a mwen bay nan tout legliz yo.
18 Has any one been called circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
Si yon moun te deja sikonsi lè Bondye te rele l' la, li pa bezwen chache wete mak sikonsizyon an sou li. Si yon moun pa t' sikonsi lè Bondye te rele l' la, li pa bezwen fè yo sikonsi li.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but keeping God's commandments.
Kit ou sikonsi, kit ou pa sikonsi, sa pa konsekan ankò. Sa ki konsekan an se obeyi pou nou obeyi kòmandman Bondye yo.
20 Let each abide in that calling in which he has been called.
Se pou chak moun rete jan yo te ye lè Bondye te rele yo a.
21 Hast thou been called [being] a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.
Si ou te esklav lè Bondye te rele ou la, pa chaje tèt ou pou sa. Men, si chans pou ou ou ka vin lib, pwofite chans lan.
22 For the bondman that is called in [the] Lord is the Lord's freedman; in like manner [also] the freeman being called is Christ's bondman.
Yon moun ki esklav, depi Bondye rele l', se yon moun lib sou kont Seyè a li ye. Konsa tou, moun ki lib la, depi Bondye rele l', se esklav Kris la li ye.
23 Ye have been bought with a price; do not be the bondmen of men.
Bondye te achte nou. Li peye byen chè pou sa. Pa tounen esklav moun.
24 Let each, wherein he is called, brethren, therein abide with God.
Frè m' yo, se pou chak moun rete devan Bondye nan kondisyon yo te ye lè Bondye te rele yo a.
25 But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of [the] Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of [the] Lord to be faithful.
Kanta pou moun ki pa marye yo, Seyè a pa ban m' ankenn lòd pou yo. M'ap bay lide pa m', epi nou te mèt fè m' konfyans akòz favè Bondye fè m' nan kè sansib li gen pou mwen an.
26 I think then that this is good, on account of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man to remain so as he is.
Jan tan an difisil koulye a, men lide m' fè nan tèt mwen. Mwen kwè sa bon pou yon nonm rete jan l' ye a.
27 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; art thou free from a wife? do not seek a wife.
Si l' gen tan gen yon madanm, li pa bezwen chache separe avè li. Si l' poko marye, li pa bezwen chache yon madanm.
28 But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.
Si l' ta vle marye tou, li mèt; li p'ap fè ankenn peche. Konsa tou, si yon jenn fi vle marye, li pa fè peche pou sa. Men, moun k'ap marye yo pral gen kont traka yo nan lavi a. Mwen pa ta renmen wè sa rive yo.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having [any]:
Frè m' yo, men sa m' vle di: Pa gen anpil tan ki rete ankò. Depi koulye a, se pou moun marye yo viv tankou si yo pa t' marye.
30 and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;
Se pou moun k'ap kriye yo viv tankou moun ki pa gen lapenn. Moun ki gen kè kontan yo, se pou yo viv tankou moun ki pa gen kè kontan. Se pou moun k'ap achte yo viv tankou si sa yo achte a pa t' pou yo.
31 and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.
Moun ki rich sou latè, se pou yo viv tankou moun ki pa gen anyen. Paske, jan sa ye koulye a nan lemonn, sa pa la pou lontan ankò.
32 But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
Mwen pa ta renmen wè nou gen ankenn tèt chaje. Yon nonm ki pa marye, l'ap okipe zafè Seyè a sèlman. L'ap chache fè Seyè a plezi.
33 but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.
Yon moun ki marye, l'ap okipe zafè lemonn tou paske l'ap chache fè madanm li plezi.
34 There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.
Lè sa a, li vin gen de okipasyon. Konsa tou, yon fanm ki san mari, osinon yon jenn fi ki pa marye, sè zafè Seyè a sèlman y'ap okipe, paske yo vle mete tout kò yo, tout nanm yo apa pou li. Men, sa ki marye yo ap okipe zafè lemonn tou, paske y'ap chache fè mari yo plezi.
35 But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what [is] seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction.
Se pou byen nou m'ap di nou sa. Mwen pa vle mare pye pesonn. Okontrè, mwen vle pou nou tout viv jan nou wè l' pi bon pou nou an, epi pou nou toujou rete fè m' ap sèvi Seyè a san dezanpare.
36 But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.
Ann wè koulye a keksyon de fiyanse ki pran desizyon pou yo rete san yo pa marye. Si jenn gason an santi li pa ka kontinye aji jan l' te dwe ak jenn fi a, si l' pa ka kontwole lanvi l' ankò, si l' wè se nesesè pou yo marye, yo mèt marye jan l' vle l' la. Li pa fè ankenn peche pou sa.
37 But he who stands firm in his heart, having no need, but has authority over his own will, and has judged this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he does well.
Konsa tou, si jenn gason an pran fèm desizyon pou l' pa marye, si l' kapab kontwole volonte l', si li deside nan tèt li se sa pou l' fè, enben, li fè byen si l' pa marye ak jenn fi a.
38 So that he that marries himself does well; and he that does not marry does better.
Konsa, jenn gason ki marye ak fiyanse l' la fè byen. Men, sa ki pa marye a fè pi byen toujou.
39 A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in [the] Lord.
Yon fanm marye gen angajman ak mari l' toutotan mari a vivan. Men, si mari a mouri, li lib marye ak moun li vle, depi se ak yon moun ki patizan Kris la.
40 But she is happier if she so remain, according to my judgment; but I think that I also have God's Spirit.
Men, l'ap gen mwens tèt chaje si l' rete jan l' ye a. Sa se lide pa mwen. Epi mwen kwè poutèt pa m' mwen gen Lespri Bondye a avè mwen.
