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.
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, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own 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 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
E pono no e ae lokomaikai aku ke kane i ka wahine, a pela no ka wahine i ke kane.
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.
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 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.
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 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Ke olelo aku nei au i keia no ka manao no, aole no ke kauoha aku.
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.
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 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
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 don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn 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 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not 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 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave 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 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.
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 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave 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 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.
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 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.
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 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will 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 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.
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 anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him 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, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
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 each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
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 called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
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 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.
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 with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
Ua kuaiia oukou me ke kumu, mai lilo oukou i poe hahai i kanaka.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
E na hoahanau, e noho no kela kanaka keia kanaka me ke Akua, ma ka mea ana i heaia mai ai.
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.
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 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to 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 bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek 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 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.
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 But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though 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 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;
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 world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes 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 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;
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 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does 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 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.
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 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
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.
