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.
Kumakani naemunandekie: Aeakole matungo neiza umugoha waleke kulale numusungu wakwe.
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Kuite kunsoko amagenywa duu naugoolya kelemugoha atule numusungu nuakwe, hange umusungu watule numugoha kwe.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
Umugo yemununee wamupe umusungu etai akwe namundoa, anga uu numusungu kumugoha kwe.
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.
Singa musungu nukete uhumi kumuele nuakwe ingemugoha. Hange uulukulu mumugoha nuyo mugila uhumi kumuili wakwe inge musungu ukele.
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.
Muzeleka kiima nimulae palung'wi, inge migombilye kumatungu nimaza. Tendi uu nsoko mulije imatungo nakulompa. Hange muhumile kisukiila hange palung'wi, nsoko kina umulugu aleke kumugema kunsoko akuulya ikatekate.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Kulunga ite aya imakani kuulowa hange singa ilago.
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.
Nkete inaula kele ung'wi atule anga unene nenile. Kuite kela ung'wi ukete ikipegwa kakwe kupuma kung'wi Tunda. Uyu ukete ikipegwa ike, nuyo ukete ikipegwa eko.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
Kuawa nishaatenilwe niajane kulunga kina, iza kung'waao asage aleke kutinwa, anga uu nineli unene.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
Kuite kang'wi akuleng'wa kigilya, yianonee atenwe. Kunso nianso bahu kutenwa kukila insula kupapatika.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
Itungo ile kuawa niatenilwe kuapa ilago, singanene, inge Mukulu. “Umusungu aleke kileka numugoha kwe.
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Kuite ang'wi ukileka kupima kumugoha asage uu aleke kutenwa ang'wi isushe numugoha kwee hange umugoha waleke kumupa umusungu nuakwe italaka.
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.
Kuite kuawa neasagile, kulunga - unene, singa Mukulu, kina ang'wi muluna wihi ukete musungu nushuhuie ugombile kikie nuyo, shainonee amuleke.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
Ang'wi umusungu ukete mugoha nushuhuie, ang'wi ugombile kikie nuyo waleke kumuleka.
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.
Kumugoha nushuhuie ukogigwa nsoko auhueli nuamusungu. Numusungu nushuhuie ukogigwa nsoko amugoha nuhuie. Ang'wi shauu iana anyu akutula shaaza kuite kutai ogigwe.
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.
Kuite umiako nuushuhuie anga wahege nuende. Kundogoilyo eye ukaka ang'wi dada shuukutungwa niilapo yao. Itunda ukitangile kikie nuupolo.
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?
Ulengi ule kang'wi umusungu, ang'wi ukumuguna umugoha? Ang'wi ulengile ule kang'wi umugoha, ang'wi ukumuguna umusungu?
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.
Kukela ung'wi udu wikie mulikalo anga nuMukulu nuapee, kila ung'wi anga niTunda uitangile nianso. Uwu ulageeli wane kumatekeelo ehi.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
Ukole nautawe kidamu wikitangwa muuhueli? Aleke kugema kuheja ikilengasiilyo nekakidamu kakwe. Ukole wehine nuitangilwe muuhueli shawendile kukidamu? Shainonee wende kukidamu.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
Kuile ang'wi wendile kukidamu ang'wi wakile wende kuhidamu kutile anga lwago. Nelikete ulwago kugomba imalago ang'wi Tunda.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
Kela ung'wi wasage muwitangwi naewitangilwe. niTunda kuhuela.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Aewimutugwane itungo niTunda naukitangile? Leka kusiga kunilanso. Kuite kang'wi ukuhuma kutula widesile, tenda uu.
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.
Kung'wi nuitangilwe nu Mukulu anga mutugwa inge muntu midesi mu Mukulu. Anga uu, ung'wi nukole midesi naewitangilwe kuhuela inge mutumi wang'wa Kilisto.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
Makondile kugulwa kunsailo, kuite muleke kutula nua tungwa aantu.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Akaka niadada ane, mulikalo lehi kukila ung'wi witu naekitangilwe kukuela, kusage anga uu.
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.
Itungu ile, awa ehi niakile kutina kwee, nemugila ilago kupuma kumukulu. Kuite kumupa masigo ane anga ninile. Kukiaisa kamukulu, niihuelekile.
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
Kuite, nsegile ite kunsoko akunyonywa, inonee umugoha wasage anga uu nueli.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
utungilwe numusungu kukilapo nikawileni? Uleke kulowa uwidesi kunelanso. Ukete widesi kupuma kumusungu ang'wi ukile kulinwane? Leka kuduma umusungu.
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.
Kuite anga utine, shawitumile anga mutandu. Hange ang'wi umusungu shanga utenilwe anga watinwe shanga witumile anga mulandu. Akile awaneitenile akete winyomu nuakela iaina. Nunene ndoilwe numuheje kuanya.
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;
Kuite kulunga ite, akaka niadada ane, imatungo makupe. Kupumiila ino nukulongoleka, awa niakete iasungu ikie anga agila.
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;
Ehi niakete ukia akite anga agila anga ukia, nawa nialoilwe atule anga shanga aloilwe, hange ehi niakugula kentu kehi atule anga shanga asaile kintu kehi.
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
Hange ehi neituma naunkumbigulu, atule anga shaitumile niyo. Kunsoko imalumbe amihe akete impelo akwe.
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;
Ndoilwe mugoha nimidesi kuwinyomi wehi. Umugoha nuakili kutina witumi imulimo namukulu, namna nakumuloelya nuanso.
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Kuite umugoha nutenile wituma imakani amihe, namna akumuloelya umusungu,
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.
utemanukile. Umusungu nushuutenilwe ang'wi bikila wipalung'wi nimaintu naMukulu, namna nakitemanula numwiili hange nikinkolo. Kuite umusungu nutenilwe wituma imelimo namihe, namuna akimuloelya umugoha kwe.
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.
Kulunga ite kunsailo anyu unyenye, hange singa kumugema unye. Kulunga ite kunsoko tai, inge kina muhumile kieka ukondi kumukulu eka kutile kigilya kehi.
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.
Kuite ang'wi umuntu usigile shuhumile kumitumila kikulyo uunanso wakwe, kunsoko masigo akwe angulu kukila, leka itene nuyo anga nuloilwe. Singa mulandu.
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.
Kuite ang'wi ulamue shuukutena, hange kutile anga lisinjo, hange ang'wi uhumile kunigilya insula akwe, ukituma iza ang'wi shukumutena.
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.
Ite, nukumutena umunanso wakwe witumile iza hange wehi nukusagula kuhita kulina ukituma iza kukila.
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.
Umusungu utungilwe numugoha imatungo nukole mupanga. Kuite anga umugoha washe, ukole widesi kutenwa numuntu wehi nukumulowa, kuite Mumunkulu udu.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
Ikile kulamula une, ukuluma uloilwe kukila anga wikie anga nueli. Hange nsigile kina gwa nkete unkolo ang'wi Tunda.
