1 Abhakorintho 7
1 Okulubhana na magambo ganu nabhandikiye: Gulio omwanya guli gwa kisi omulume asige omama no mugasi wae.
Now concerning the thing whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nawe kulwokusakwa kwamfu kwo bhusiani jiile bhuli mulume abhe no mugasi wae, na bhuli mugasi abhe nomulume wae.
But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Omulume jimwiile okumuyana omugasi wae agobhutwasi, kutyo kutyo nomugasi ona amuyane omulume wae.
Let the husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner to the husband.
4 Omugasi atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omulume. Na kutyo kutyo, omulume atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omugasi wae anabhwo.
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 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.
Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.
6 Nawe anaika amagambo ganu bila kulazimisha na gatali chilagilo.
But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.
7 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.
For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.
8 Kubhanu bhatatwawe na bhatumba gasi enaikati, nijakisi kubhene ati bhakasigae bila kutwalwa, lwakutyo anye nili.
But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.
9 Nawe labha bhatakutula kwiganya, jibheile bhatwalwe. Kulwokubha akili okutwalwa bhataja kuligilana.
But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.
10 Woli kubhanu bhatwawe enibhayana echilagilo, atali anye tali ni Latabhugenyi. “Omugasi ataja kusigana no mulume wae.”
But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.
11 Nawe labha akasoka kumulume wae, asigale kutyo ataja kutwalwa kala jili kutyo angwane no mulume wae. Na “Omulume atamuyana omugasi wae inyalubha yo kumulema
And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.
12 Nawe kubhanu bhasigae, enaika anye ati, atali Latabhugenyi- ati labha alio omuili ali no mugasi atali mwikilisha na ekilisishe okwikala nage, jitamwiile kumusiga.
For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 Labha omugasi ali no mulume unu atali mwikilisha, na labha ekilisishe okwikala nage, atamusiga.
And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
14 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.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband: otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.
15 Nawe atekilisishe akagenda nagende. Kulwejo, omulawasu no muyala wasu atakubhwohya ne bhilailo bhyebhwe. Nyamuanga achibhilikiye chikale kwo mulembe.
But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.
16 Oumenya atiki labha omugasi, labha ulimuchungula omulume wao? Angu oumenya atiki labha omulume, alimukisha omugasi wae?
For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17 Bhuli umwi ekale obhulame lwakutyo Latabhugenyi abhagabhiye, bhuli umwi lwakutyo Nyamuanga abhabhilikiye abhene. Bhunu nibhwo obhwisombolo bhwani ku makanisa gona.
But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.
18 Alio unu aliga atendelwe anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha? Atalegeja okusoshao olunyamo lwo kutendwa kwae. Alio wona wona unu abhilikiwe mukwikilisha achali kutendwa? Jitamwiile kutendwa.
Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Kulinu abhe atendelwe nolo akabha atatendelwe chitalio chibhibhi. Chinu chili chibhibhi ni kulema okugwata ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.
20 Bhuli umwi asigale mukubhilikilwa kwae kutyo aliga anu abhilikiwe na Nyamuanga okwikilisha.
Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.
21 Aliga uli mugaya omwanya gunu Nyamuanga akubhilikiye? Siga okusaswa elyo. Nawe labha outula okwitanya, kola kutyo.
Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22 Kuumwi unu abhilikiwe na Latabhugenyi kuti mugaya ni munu unu ketanya ku Latabhugenyi. Lwakutyo, oumwi unu ketanya anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha ni mugaya wa Kristo.
For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.
23 Mwamalile kugulwa kwo bhugusi bhunene, kulwejo mutaja kubha bhagaya bha bhanu.
You are bought with a price; be not made the bondslaves of men.
24 Bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, mubhulame bhwona bhwona bhuli umwi weswe kutyo chabhilikiwe okwikilisha, chisigale lwakutyo chili.
Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
25 Woli, bhanu bhona bhachali kutwala, ntana chilagilo okusoka ku Latabhugenyi. Nawe enibhayana obhwiganilisha bhwani kutyo bhuli. Kwe chigongo cha Latabhugenyi, jinu ejiikanyibhwa.
Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.
26 Kulwejo, eniganilisha kutyo kwa insonga yo kunyansibhwa, nijakisi omulume asigale kutyo ali.
I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.
27 Ubhoelwe no mugasi kwe chilailo cho bhutwasi? Utaja kwenda kwitanya okusoka mwicho. Uli no kwitanya okusoka ku mugasi angu uchali kutwalwa? Utayenja mugasi.
Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 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.
But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.
29 Nawe enaikati, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu omwanya ni mufuyi. Okusoka woli no kugendelela, bhanu bhali na bhagasi bhekale kuti bhatanabho.
This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;
30 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.
And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31 Nabhona bhanu abhafulubhenda nechalo, bhabhe kuti bhatakufulubhenda nacho. Kulwokubha ebhyainsi bhyajokinga kubhutelo bhwabhyo.
And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32 Enenda mubhe no bhwiyaganyulo munyanko jona. Omulume atakutwala afulubhende ne bhinu bhinu bhimwiile Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omwene.
But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.
33 Nawe omulume unu atwae kafulubhendela amagambo gechalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omugasi wae,
But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided.
34 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.
And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 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.
And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.
36 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.
But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.
37 Nawe labha akolele obhulamusi okulema okutwala, na chitalio chinu cha bhusibhusi, na labha katula okutangasha inamba yae, kakola jansonga labha akalema omutwala.
For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.
38 Kulwejo, unu kamutwala omuyala juma wae kakola jabhwana, na wona wona unu kasola okulema okutwala kakola jabhwana muno.
Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.
39 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.
A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40 Nchali mubhulamusi bhwani, kabha nalikondelewe enene muno akekala kutyo alila. Na eniganilisha ati anyona nino Mwoyo gwa Nyamuanga.
But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.
