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.
Okulubhana na magambo ganu nabhandikiye: Gulio omwanya guli gwa kisi omulume asige omama no mugasi wae.
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Nawe kulwokusakwa kwamfu kwo bhusiani jiile bhuli mulume abhe no mugasi wae, na bhuli mugasi abhe nomulume wae.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
Omulume jimwiile okumuyana omugasi wae agobhutwasi, kutyo kutyo nomugasi ona amuyane omulume wae.
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.
Omugasi atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omulume. Na kutyo kutyo, omulume atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omugasi wae anabhwo.
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.
Mutajaga kwiima mukamama amwi, tali mwikilishanyishe kwo mwanya gwakisi. Mukole kutyo koleleki mubhone omwanya gwo kusabha. Mukamala omutula okusubhilana lindi amwi, Koleleki Shetani ataja kubhalegeja kwo kubhulwa indengo.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Nawe anaika amagambo ganu bila kulazimisha na gatali chilagilo.
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.
Enisigombela bhuli umwi akabhee kama anye kutyo nili. Nawe bhuli munu ana echiyanwa chae okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Unu ana echiyanwa chinu, na uliya ana echiyanwa chiliya.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
Kubhanu bhatatwawe na bhatumba gasi enaikati, nijakisi kubhene ati bhakasigae bila kutwalwa, lwakutyo anye nili.
9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
Nawe labha bhatakutula kwiganya, jibheile bhatwalwe. Kulwokubha akili okutwalwa bhataja kuligilana.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
Woli kubhanu bhatwawe enibhayana echilagilo, atali anye tali ni Latabhugenyi. “Omugasi ataja kusigana no mulume wae.”
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Nawe labha akasoka kumulume wae, asigale kutyo ataja kutwalwa kala jili kutyo angwane no mulume wae. Na “Omulume atamuyana omugasi wae inyalubha yo kumulema
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.
Nawe kubhanu bhasigae, enaika anye ati, atali Latabhugenyi- ati labha alio omuili ali no mugasi atali mwikilisha na ekilisishe okwikala nage, jitamwiile kumusiga.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
Labha omugasi ali no mulume unu atali mwikilisha, na labha ekilisishe okwikala nage, atamusiga.
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.
Kumulume unu atali mwikilisha kesibhwa okulubhana ne likilisha lyo mugasi wae. No mugasi unu atali mwikilisha kesibhwa kwa insonga yomulume wae omwikilisha. Kenda bhitali kutyo abhana bhemwe bhakabhee bhatali bhelu, nawe kuchimali bhesibhwe.
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.
Nawe atekilisishe akagenda nagende. Kulwejo, omulawasu no muyala wasu atakubhwohya ne bhilailo bhyebhwe. Nyamuanga achibhilikiye chikale kwo mulembe.
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?
Oumenya atiki labha omugasi, labha ulimuchungula omulume wao? Angu oumenya atiki labha omulume, alimukisha omugasi wae?
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.
Bhuli umwi ekale obhulame lwakutyo Latabhugenyi abhagabhiye, bhuli umwi lwakutyo Nyamuanga abhabhilikiye abhene. Bhunu nibhwo obhwisombolo bhwani ku makanisa gona.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
Alio unu aliga atendelwe anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha? Atalegeja okusoshao olunyamo lwo kutendwa kwae. Alio wona wona unu abhilikiwe mukwikilisha achali kutendwa? Jitamwiile kutendwa.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
Kulinu abhe atendelwe nolo akabha atatendelwe chitalio chibhibhi. Chinu chili chibhibhi ni kulema okugwata ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
Bhuli umwi asigale mukubhilikilwa kwae kutyo aliga anu abhilikiwe na Nyamuanga okwikilisha.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Aliga uli mugaya omwanya gunu Nyamuanga akubhilikiye? Siga okusaswa elyo. Nawe labha outula okwitanya, kola kutyo.
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 Messiah’s bondservant.
Kuumwi unu abhilikiwe na Latabhugenyi kuti mugaya ni munu unu ketanya ku Latabhugenyi. Lwakutyo, oumwi unu ketanya anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha ni mugaya wa Kristo.
23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
Mwamalile kugulwa kwo bhugusi bhunene, kulwejo mutaja kubha bhagaya bha bhanu.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, mubhulame bhwona bhwona bhuli umwi weswe kutyo chabhilikiwe okwikilisha, chisigale lwakutyo chili.
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgement as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
Woli, bhanu bhona bhachali kutwala, ntana chilagilo okusoka ku Latabhugenyi. Nawe enibhayana obhwiganilisha bhwani kutyo bhuli. Kwe chigongo cha Latabhugenyi, jinu ejiikanyibhwa.
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
Kulwejo, eniganilisha kutyo kwa insonga yo kunyansibhwa, nijakisi omulume asigale kutyo ali.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
Ubhoelwe no mugasi kwe chilailo cho bhutwasi? Utaja kwenda kwitanya okusoka mwicho. Uli no kwitanya okusoka ku mugasi angu uchali kutwalwa? Utayenja mugasi.
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.
Nawe labha ukatwala, uchali kukola chibhibhi. Nalabha omugasi achali kutwalwa akatwalwa, achali kukola chibhibhi. Bado bhanu abhatwalana abhabhona jinyako jabhuli mbaga. Anye enenda nibhakishe nago.
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;
Nawe enaikati, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu omwanya ni mufuyi. Okusoka woli no kugendelela, bhanu bhali na bhagasi bhekale kuti bhatanabho.
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;
Bhona bhanu bhajubhile bhekole kuti bhaliga bhatajubhile, na bhona bhanu bhakondelewe kuti bhatakondelewe, na bhona bhanu abhagula echinu chona chona, kuti bhachaliga kubha na chinu chona chona.
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
Nabhona bhanu abhafulubhenda nechalo, bhabhe kuti bhatakufulubhenda nacho. Kulwokubha ebhyainsi bhyajokinga kubhutelo bhwabhyo.
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;
Enenda mubhe no bhwiyaganyulo munyanko jona. Omulume atakutwala afulubhende ne bhinu bhinu bhimwiile Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omwene.
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Nawe omulume unu atwae kafulubhendela amagambo gechalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omugasi wae,
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.
aulene. Omugasi unu atatwawe amwi muyala juma unu kafulubhendela ingulu ye bhinu bhya Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kwiyaula kubhyomubhili no mwoyo. Nawe omugasi unu atwawe kafulubhenda ingulu ye bhinu bhya kuchalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omulume wae.
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.
Enaika kutya ingulu ya libhona lyemwe, na ntatulileo omutego kwimwe. Enaika kutya kwokubha ni chimali, koleleki omutula okwitula mukolelega Latabhugenyi mutabha na chikujulo chona chona.
36 But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately towards 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.
Nawe labha omunu keganilisha atakutula kumukolela kwa lisima omuyala juma wae, kwa insonga yo bwiganilisha bhae bhuna amanaga muno, siga atwalane nage kutyo kenda. Chitalio chibhibhi.
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.
Nawe labha akolele obhulamusi okulema okutwala, na chitalio chinu cha bhusibhusi, na labha katula okutangasha inamba yae, kakola jansonga labha akalema omutwala.
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.
Kulwejo, unu kamutwala omuyala juma wae kakola jabhwana, na wona wona unu kasola okulema okutwala kakola jabhwana muno.
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.
Omugasi abhoelwe no mulume wae omwanya gunu achali kufwa. Nawe omulume akafwa, Ali no bhwiyaganyulo okutwalibhwa na wona wona unu kamwenda, nawe ni mu Latabhugenyi ela.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgement, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
Nchali mubhulamusi bhwani, kabha nalikondelewe enene muno akekala kutyo alila. Na eniganilisha ati anyona nino Mwoyo gwa Nyamuanga.
