1 Corinthians 7
1 Now, concerning the things whereof ye wrote, it were, good, for a man, not to touch, a woman;
Zvino pamusoro pezvinhu zvamakandinyorera, ndinoti: Zvakanaka kuti munhu arege kuwana mukadzi.
2 But, on account of fornications, let, each man, have, his own wife, and, each woman, have, her own husband:
Asi nokuda kwoupombwe, murume mumwe nomumwe ngaave nomukadzi wake, nomukadzi mumwe nomumwe ngaave nomurume wake.
3 Unto the wife, let the husband render what is her due, and, in like manner, the wife also, unto the husband, —
Murume ngaape mukadzi wake zvakafanira, uye nomukadzi adarowo kumurume wake.
4 The wife, over her own body, hath not authority, but the husband, and, in like manner, the husband also, over his own body, hath not authority, but the wife.
Muviri womukadzi hauzi wake oga asi kuti ndewomurume wakewo. Zvimwe chetezvo, muviri womurume hauzi wake oga asi kuti ndewomukadzi wakewo.
5 Be not depriving one another—unless perhaps by consent for a season, that ye may have leisure for prayer, and, again, may be together, —lest Satan be tempting you by reason of your want of self-control.
Musanyimana, kunze kwokunge matenderana uye kwenguva duku, kuti mumbova nenguva yokunyengetera. Mushure mezvo mosanganazve kuitira kuti Satani arege kukuedzai pakusazvidzora kwenyu.
6 This, however I am saying, by way of concession, not of injunction;
Ndinotaura izvi ndichikutenderai, kwete somurayiro.
7 Besides, I desire all men to be, even as myself, —but, each one, hath his, personal, gift from God, one, after this manner, and, another, after that.
Ndinoshuva kuti dai vanhu vose vakaita seni. Asi munhu mumwe nomumwe ane chipo chake chaakapiwa naMwari; mumwe ane chipo ichi mumwe ane icho.
8 But I say, to the unmarried, and to the widows, good, were it for them, that they should abide, even as I;
Zvino kune vasina kuwana nechirikadzi ndinoti: Zvakanaka kwavari kuti vasawana, sezvandiri.
9 But, if they have not self-control, let them marry, for, better, is it, to marry than to burn.
Asi kana vasingagoni kuzvidzora, vanofanira kuwana, nokuti zviri nani kuwana pane kutsva.
10 To the married, however, I give charge—not, I, but the Lord, —that, a wife, from her husband, do not depart, —
Kuna vakawana ndinopa murayiro uyu (kwete ini, asi Ishe): Mukadzi ngaarege kuparadzana nomurume wake.
11 But, if she should even depart, let her remain unmarried, or, to her husband, be reconciled; and let not, a husband, leave, his wife.
Asi kana akabva, ngaarege kuzowanikwazve, kana kuti ngaayanane nomurume wake. Uye murume haafaniri kuramba mukadzi wake.
12 But, unto the rest, say, I—not the Lord, —if, any brother, hath, a wife that believeth not, and, she, is well pleased to dwell with him, let him not leave her;
Kuna vamwe vose ndinoti (ini kwete Ishe): Kana hama ino mukadzi asingatendi uye mukadzi achida hake kugara naye, haafaniri kumuramba.
13 And, a woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and, he, is well pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband; —
Uye kana mukadzi ane murume asingatendi uye murume achida hake kugara naye, haafaniri kumuramba.
14 For the husband that believeth not is hallowed in the wife, and the wife that believeth not is hallowed in the brother: else were, your children, impure, but, now, are they, pure.
Nokuti murume asingatendi anoitwa mutsvene nokuda kwomukadzi wake, uye mukadzi asingatendi anoitwa mutsvene kubudikidza nomurume wake anotenda. Vana venyu vaizova netsvina, asi zvino vava vatsvene.
15 But, if, the unbelieving, departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister hath not come into bondage, in such cases, but, in peace, hath God called us.
Asi kana asingatendi akaenda, murege aende hake. Murume kana mukadzi anotenda haana kusungwa pakadai; Mwari akatidana kuti tigare murugare.
16 For how knowest thou, O woman, whether, thy husband, thou shalt save? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether, thy wife, thou shalt save?
Nokuti iwe mukadzi unoziva seiko, kana uchaponesa murume wako? Kana, kuti iwe murume unoziva seiko, kana uchaponesa mukadzi wako?
17 If not—as the Lord hath distributed—unto each one, as God hath called, each one, so, let him be walking; —and, so, in all the assemblies, I ordain.
Zvisinei hazvo, mumwe nomumwe ngaararame upenyu hwaakagoverwa naIshe uye hwaakadanirwa naMwari. Izvi ndizvo zvandinorayira mukereke yose.
18 After being circumcised, was any called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision, hath any been called? let him not be circumcised:
Ko, murume akadanwa atodzingiswa kare here? Ngaarege kuitwa asina kudzingiswa. Ko, murume akadanwa asina kudzingiswa here? Ngaarege kudzingiswa.
19 The circumcision, is, nothing, and, the uncircumcision, is, nothing, —but keeping the commandments of God.
Kudzingiswa hakuzi chinhu uye kusadzingiswa hakuzi chinhu. Asi kuchengeta mirayiro yaMwari ndiko kunokosha.
20 Each one, in the calling wherein he was called, in the same, let him abide:
Mumwe nomumwe ngaagare ari zvaakanga ari paakadanwa naMwari.
21 A bond-servant, wast thou called? let it not cause thee concern; but, if thou canst even become, free, rather use it.
Wakanga uri muranda here pawakadanwa? Ngazvirege kukudya mwoyo; kunyange zvakadaro, kana uchigona kuva wakasununguka, ita saizvozvo.
22 For, he who in the Lord was called, being a bond-servant, is, a freed-man of the Lord: in like manner, he that was called being, a freeman, is Christ’s bond-servant: —
Nokuti uyo akadanwa naShe ari muranda, ava akasununguka muna She; zvimwe chetezvo, uyo akanga akasununguka paakadanwa ava muranda waKristu.
23 With a price, have ye been bought, —do not become bond-servants of men:
Makatengwa nomutengo; musava varanda vavanhu.
24 Each one, wherein he was called, brethren, in the same, let him abide with God.
Hama, mumwe nomumwe, ngaarambe ari paakadanwa naMwari ari.
25 But, concerning them who are virgin, injunction of the Lord, have I none; yet, a judgment, do I give, as one who hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be, faithful:
Zvino pamusoro pemhandara: Handina murayiro unobva kuna Ishe, asi ndinokuudzai somunhu akapiwa ngoni naShe kuti ave akatendeka.
26 I consider this, then, to be, good, in the circumstances, by reason of the existing distress, —that it is, good for a man, so, to be:
Nokuda kwenhamo yazvino, ndinofunga kuti zvakanaka kuti munhu agare akadaro.
27 Hast thou become bound to a wife? do not seek to be loosed; hast thou become loosed from a wife? do not seek a wife.
Wakawana here? Usatsvaka kurambana. Hauna kuwana here? Usatsvaka mukadzi.
28 If, however, thou shouldst even marry, thou hast not sinned; and, if one who is virgin should marry, that one hath not sinned; —but, tribulation of the flesh, shall, such, have: —howbeit, I, spare you.
Asi kana ukawana, hauna kutadza; asi kana mhandara ikawanikwa haina kutadza. Asi vaya vachawana vachasangana namatambudziko mazhinji muupenyu uye ini handidi kuti musangane nawo.
29 But, this, I say—the opportunity is, contracted for what remaineth—in order that, they who have wives, may be, as though they had none,
Zvandinoreva hama dzangu, ndezvokuti nguva ipfupi. Kubva zvino zvichienda mberi vana vakadzi ngavararame savasina;
30 And, they who weep, as though they wept not, and, they who rejoice, as though they rejoiced not, and, they who buy, as though they possessed not,
vaya vanochema, savasingachemi; vanofara savasingafari; vanotenga chinhu, sokunonzi hachizi chavo;
31 And, they who use the world, as though they used it not to the full, —for the fashion of this world passeth away;
navaya vane zvinhu zvenyika ino, savasingabatiriri pazviri. Nokuti nyika ino sezvairi nhasi ichapfuura.
32 And I desire you to be, without anxiety: —the unmarried man, is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
Ndinoda kuti murege kuva nokufunganya. Murume asina kuwana anofunga zvaShe, kuti angafadza Ishe sei.
33 But, he that hath married, is anxious for the things of the world, how may please his wife—
Asi murume akawana anofunga pamusoro pezvinhu zvenyika ino, kuti angafadza mukadzi wake sei,
34 And he is divided; and, the unmarried woman, or the virgin, is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy [both] in her body and in her spirit; but, she that hath married, is anxious for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
uye zvaanoda zvakapatsanurwa. Mukadzi asina kuwanikwa kana mhandara anofunga nezvaShe: Chinangwa ndechokuzvipira kuna She panyama napamweya. Asi mukadzi akawanikwa anofunga zvenyika ino kuti angafadza murume wake sei.
35 This, however, with a view to your own profit, am I saying, —not that, a snare, upon you, I may cast, but with a view to what is comely, and devoted unto the Lord, without distraction.
Ndiri kutaura izvi kuti zvikubatsirei, kwete kuti ndikudzivisei, asi kuti murarame munzira yakarurama muchizvipira kuna She zvizere.
36 If however anyone considereth it behaving unseemly towards his virginity, if he should be beyond the bloom of life, —and, thus, it ought to come about, what he chooseth, let him do, —he sinneth not: let them marry:
Kana mumwe achifunga kuti ava kuita zvisina kunaka kumhandara yaakatsidzira, uye kana ava namakore akafanira kana achida kumuwana, ngaaite zvaanoda. Haasi kutadza. Vanofanira kuwanana.
37 But, he that standeth in his heart, steadfast, having no necessity, but hath authority concerning his own will, and, this, hath determined in his own heart, —to preserve his own virginity, well shall he do.
Asi uyo munhu anenge azvifunga mupfungwa dzake, asina zvinomumanikidza iye kana achizvidzora, uye kana akatema mumwoyo make kuti haadi kuwana mhandara iyi, murume uyu aitawo chinhu chakanaka.
38 So that, he that giveth in marriage his own virginity, doeth, well; and, he that giveth it not, shall do, better.
Saka naizvozvo, uyo anowana mhandara iyi anoitawo zvakanaka, asi uyo asingawani anoita chinhu chakatonakisa.
39 A wife, is bound for as long a time as her husband is living; but, if the husband have fallen asleep, she is, free, to be married unto whom she pleaseth, —only, in the Lord;
Mukadzi akasungwa nomurayiro kumurume wake kana achiri mupenyu. Asi kana murume wake akafa, asununguka kuti awanikwe nomurume waanoda, asi anofanira kuva muna She.
40 But, happier, is she, if, so, she remain, —in my judgment; for I think, I also, have the Spirit of God.
Asi mukuona kwangu, angatonyanya kufara kana akagara akadaro, uye ndinofunga kuti neniwo ndino Mweya waMwari.
