1 Corinthians 7
1 With reference to the subjects about which you wrote to me: It is good for a man to remain single.
MA na mea a oukou i palapala mai ai ia'u; he mea maikai no ke kane, aole e hoopili aku i ka wahine.
2 But, owing to the prevalence of immorality, I advise every man to have his own wife, and every woman her husband.
Aka, o moe kolohe auanei, ua pono no i kela kane i keia kane kana wahine iho, a ua pono no i kela wahine i keia wahine, kana kane iho.
3 A husband should give his wife her due, and a wife her husband.
E pono no e ae lokomaikai aku ke kane i ka wahine, a pela no ka wahine i ke kane.
4 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.
No ka mea, aole na ka wahine kona kino iho, na ke kane no; aole hoi na ke kane kona kino iho, na ka wahine no.
5 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 until you again live as man and wife – otherwise Satan might take advantage of your want of self-control and tempt you.
Mai hoonele wale oukou i kekahi i kekahi, aia wale no ma ka like o ka manao, a i mea hoi e lilo loa ai i ka hookeai a me ka pule; a e hui hou no, i hoowalewale ole mai ai o Satana ia oukou, no ko oukou hiki ole i ka hoomanawanui.
6 I say this, however, as a concession, not as a command.
Ke olelo aku nei au i keia no ka manao no, aole no ke kauoha aku.
7 I should wish everyone to be just what I am myself. But everyone has his own gift from God – one in one way, and one in another.
Ke makemake nei au, i like na kanaka a pau me au nei Aka, ua loaa i kela kanaka, i keia kanaka kona makana ponoi, na ke Akua mai, okoa no hoi ke ano o kekahi, okoa ke ano o kekahi.
8 My advice, then, to those who are not married, and to widows, is this: It would be good for them to remain as I am myself.
Ke olelo aku nei au i ka poe i mare ole ia, a me na wahinekanemake, he mea pono no lakou ke hoomau e like me au nei.
9 But, if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to be consumed with passion.
Aka, i hiki ole ia lakou ke hoomanawanui, e mare no lakou; no ka mea, ua maikai ka mare, aole ke kuko.
10 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
Ke hauoha aku nei au i ka poe i mareia, aole na'u, na ka Haku no, Mai haalele ka wahine i kana kane:
11 (If she has done so, she should remain as she is, or else be reconciled to her husband) and also that a man is not to divorce his wife.
A ina ua haalele, e noho mare ole ia oia, a e maliu hou aku paha i ke kane: aole hoi e kipaku ke kane i ka wahine.
12 To all others I say – I, not the Master – If a follower of the Lord is married to a woman, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with him, he should not divorce her;
Ke olelo aku nei au i ka poe i koe, aole na ka Haku mai; Ina he wahine hoomaloka ka kekahi hoahanau kane, a manao ka wahine e noho pu me ia, mai kipaku ke kane ia ia.
13 and a woman who is married to a man, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with her, should not divorce her husband.
A o ka wahine hoi, ke hoomaloka kana kane, a manao no ke kane e noho pu me ia, mai kipaku ka wahine ia ia.
14 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 the Lord’s follower whom she has married. Otherwise your children would be “defiled,” but, as it is, they belong to Christ’s people.
No ka mea, ua huikalaia ke kane hoomaloka i ka wahine, a me ka wahine hoomaloka hoi, ua huikalaia oia i ke kane. Ina aole pela, ina ua haumia na keiki a oukou; aka, ano la, ua huikalaia.
15 However, if the unbeliever wishes to be separated, let them be so. Under such circumstances neither is bound; God has called you to live in peace.
A ina na ka hoomaloka ka haalele, e haalele no. Aole i paa ka hoahanau kane a me ka hoahanau wahine i keia mau mea. Aka, ua ao mai ke Akua ia kakou ma ke kuikahi.
16 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?
Pehea oe i ike ai, e ka wahine, e ola paha kau kane ia oe? Pehea hoi oe i ike ai, e ke kane, e ola paha kau wahine ia oe?
17 In any case, a person should continue to live in the condition which the Lord has allotted to them, and in which they were when God called them. This is the rule that I lay down in every church.
E like hoi me ka ka Haku haawi ana mai i kela kanaka i keia kanaka, e like no me ka ke Akua hea ana mai i kela kanaka i keia kanaka, pela no ia e hele ai; a pela no au e kauoha aku nei ma na ekalesia a pau.
18 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.
Ina i heaia'ku kekahi i okipoepoeia; mai huna oia i kona okipoepoe ana: ina i heaia'ku kekahi i okipoepoe ole ia; mai okipoepoeia oia.
19 Circumcision is nothing; the want of it is nothing; but to keep the commands of God is everything.
He mea ole ke okipoepoeia, he mea ole ke okipoepoe ole ia, aka, o ka malama ana i na kanawai o ke Akua.
20 Let everyone remain in that condition of life in which they were when the call came to them.
E noho no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka mea ana i hana'i i ka wa i heaia mai ai oia.
21 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.
Ina i heaia mai oe, e hookanwa ana, mai manao oe ia mea; aka, ina e hiki ke kuu wale ia mai oe, e hele no.
22 For the person who was a slave when they were called to the master’s service is the Master’s freedman; so, too, the person who was free when called is Christ’s slave.
No ka mea, o ke kauwa i heaia mai e ka Haku, oia ka ka Haku i kuu ai. Pela hoi o ka mea paa ole i heaia mai, oia hoi ke kauwa a Kristo.
23 You were bought, and the price was paid. Do not let yourselves become slaves to people.
Ua kuaiia oukou me ke kumu, mai lilo oukou i poe hahai i kanaka.
24 Friends, let everyone remain in the condition in which they were when they were called, in close communion with God.
E na hoahanau, e noho no kela kanaka keia kanaka me ke Akua, ma ka mea ana i heaia mai ai.
25 With regard to unmarried women, I have no command from the Master to give you, but I tell you my opinion, and the Master in his mercy has made me worthy to be trusted.
No ka poe puupaa, aole na ka Haku mai ka'u kauoha. Ke hai aku nei no hoi au i ko'u manao, e like me ka mea i malama pono, no ka loaa ana mai o ka lokomaikai o ka Haku.
26 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.
Ke manao nei au, he mea maikai keia, no ka popilikia o keia wa, he mea maikai no ke kane ke noho wale pela.
27 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.
A i paa oe i ka wahine, ea, mai imi oe i ka mea e wehe ai. A i kaawale oe i ka wahine, mai imi oe i wahine nau.
28 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.
Aka, ina i mare oe, aole oe i hewa; a ina i mare ka wahine puupaa, aole ia i hewa; aka hoi, e loaa auanei i ua poe la ka pilikia ma ke kino; aka, ke kuu aku nei au ia oukou.
29 What I mean, friends, is this – the time is short. Meanwhile, let those who have wives live as if they had none,
Ke olelo aku nei no hoi au i keia, e na hoahanau, ma keia hope aku ka wa pilikia; nolaila, o ka mea wahine, e lilo ia i mea like me ka mea wahine ole:
30 those who are weeping as if not weeping, those who are rejoicing as if not rejoicing, those who buy as if not possessing,
A o ka mea uwe, e like me ka mea uwe ole; a o ka poe olioli, e like me ka poe olioli ole; a o ka poe kuai, e like me ka poe nele;
31 and those who use the good things of the world as using them sparingly; for this world as we see it is passing away.
A o ka poe malama i na mea o keia ao, e like me ka poe malama ole. No ka mea, e nalo ae ana ke ano o keia ao.
32 I want you to be free from anxiety. The unmarried man is anxious about the Master’s cause, desiring to please him;
O ko'u makemake keia, i ole oukou e pilikia ma ka manao. O ka mea i mare ole ia, ua manao no ia i ko ka Haku, i ka mea e lealea mai ai ka Haku.
33 while the married man is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please his wife;
A o ka mea i mareia, manao no ia i na mea o keia ao, i mea e lealea mai ai ka wahine.
34 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.
Ua okoa no ka wahine i mareia, okoa ka wahine puupaa. O ka wahine i mare ole ia, ua manao no ia i na mea o ka Haku, i laa ia ma ke kino, a me ka naau; a o ka mea i mareia, manao no ia i na mea o keia ao, i mea e lealea ai ke kane,
35 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.
Ke olelo aku nei au i keia i mea e pono ai oukou; aole e hoohihia ai oukou, no ka pono nae, i malama oukou i ka Haku, me ka ikaika a me ka hihia ole.
36 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, he should act as he thinks right. He is doing nothing wrong – let the marriage take place.
Aka, ina e manao kekahi, ua pono ole kana hana ana i kana kaikamahine puupaa, ina i hala kona wa i oo ai, a ina pono pela, e hana no ia i kona makemake, aole ia i hewa; e mare lakou.
37 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.
Aka, o ka mea ku paa ma ka naau, aole hoi i pilikia, a ua lanakila hoi maluna o kona makemake iho, a ua manao pono maloko o kona naau, e malama pela i kana kaikamahine, ua pono no kana hana ana.
38 In short, the one who consents to his daughter’s marriage is doing right, and yet the other will be doing better.
Nolaila, o ka mea haawi ma ka mare, ua hana pono ia, a o ka mea haawi ole ma ka mare, ua hana pono loa ia.
39 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 anyone she wishes, provided he is a believer.
Ua paa ka wahine, i ka wa a pau e ola ana kana kane; aka, ina i make kana kane, ua pono ia ke mare aku i ka mea ana e makemake ai; iloko hoi o ka Haku.
40 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.
I ko'u manao hoi, ua oi aku kona pomaikai, ke noho ia pela; a ke manao nei au, ua loaa ia'u ka Uhane o ke Akua.
