Sie Corinth 7

1 Inge nga ac sroang nu ke ma kowos tuh sim nu sik kac. Ac wona mwet se in tiana payuk.

And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good [it is] for a man not to touch a woman,

2 Tusruktu ke sripen yokna mwe sruhf nu ke kosro, pwanang fal tuh kais sie mukul in oasr mutan kial sifacna, ac kais sie mutan in oasr mukul tumal sifacna.

and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;

3 Sie mukul enenu in akfalye ma kunal nu sin mutan kial, ac sie mutan in akfalye ma kunal nu sin mukul tumal, ac kais sie seltal in akfalye enenu lun el se ngia ke moul in payuk.

to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;

4 Sie mutan payuk el tia leum fin manol sifacna, a mukul tumal pa leumi. In ouiya sacna sie mukul payuk el tia leumi manol sifacna, a mutan kial pa leumi.

the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.

5 Nimet srangesr in akfalye enenu lun sin sie sie, sayen komtal fin insesela meet in oru ouinge ke kitin pacl tuh komtal in eis pacl lomtal in pre; na toko komtal fah sifil tukeni fal nu ke ouiya lun payuk se. Ke kowos oru ouinge, Satan el tia ku in srife kowos ke sripen kowos munas in sifacna leum fowos.

Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;

6 Nga fahk ma se inge nu suwos, mweyen God El lela nu sik in fahk, a tia ma sapkinyuk.

and this I say by way of concurrence — not of command,

7 Pwayeiya uh nga kena tuh kowos nukewa in oana nga; tusruktu oasr kain in mwe sang nu sin kais sie mwet sin God, su tia oana sie lumah.

for I wish all men to be even as I myself [am]; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.

8 Inge, nu sin mwet tia payuk ac oayapa katinmas, nga fahk mu ac wo nu suwos in mutana tia payuk, oana nga.

And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];

9 Tusruktu kowos fin tia ku in kutong lungse lowos an, tari payukyak — wo in payuk liki tuh kena lowos in sokoela insiowos.

and if they have not continence — let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;

10 Nu sin mwet payuk an, oasr sie sap ku yuruk, su tia ma sik sifacna a ma sin Leum God: sie mutan payuk fah tia som liki mukul tumal;

and to the married I announce — not I, but the Lord — let not a wife separate from a husband:

11 tusruktu el fin som, el enenu in mutana ac tia sifil payuk, ku elan suk in akwoye inmasrloltal ac sifil folokla nu yurin mukul tumal. Ac sie mukul payuk enenu in tia sisla mutan kial.

but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.

12 Nu sin mwet saya an, nga fahk (nga sifacna, tia Leum God): sie mukul Christian fin oasr mutan kial su tia sie mwet Christian, ac mutan sac el insese in mutana yorol, mukul sac enenu in tia sisella.

And to the rest I speak — not the Lord — if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;

13 Ac sie mutan Christian fin payuk sin sie mukul su tia mwet Christian, ac mukul sac el insese in mutana yorol, mutan sac fah tia sisella.

and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away;

14 Tuh mukul sac ma tia Christian el akmutalyeyuk ye mutun God ke sripen el payuk sin mutan Christian se. Ac mutan sac ma tia Christian el akmutalyeyuk ye mutun God ke sripen el payuk sin mukul Christian se. Fin tia ouinge, tulik natultal ac fah oana tulik nutin mwet pegan; tusruktu ke ouinge uh, tulik inge elos akmutalyeyuk ye mutun God.

for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

15 Tusruktu, fin sie mwet su tia mwet Christian el ke fahsr liki mwet Christian se el payuk se, lela elan som. In ouiya se inge, el su Christian seltal, finne mukul ku mutan, el sukosokla. God El pangon kowos in moul in misla.

And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself — let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such [cases], and in peace hath God called us;

16 Mutan Christian, kom ac etu fuka lah kom ac tia ku in molela mukul tomom an? Ku mukul Christian, kom ac etu fuka lah kom ac tia ku in molela mutan kiom an?

for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save?

17 Kais sie mwet in moul fal nu ke mwe sang lun Leum nu sel, oana moul el moulkin ke pacl se God El tuh pangnol. Pa inge oakwuk se su nga luti in church nukewa.

if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each — so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct:

18 Sie mwet el fin kosrala tari meet liki pacl se God El pangnol, el fah tia srike in kunausla inken kosrala lal; ac sie mwet fin soenna kosrala ke God El pangnol, el tia enenu in kosrala.

being circumcised — was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised;

19 Tuh kosrala ac tia kosrala wangin sripa; ma se ma yohk uh pa in akos ma God El sapkin.

the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing — but a keeping of the commands of God.

20 Kais sie suwos enenu in mutana ke ouiya se el oasr kac ke pacl se God El pangnolak ah.

Each in the calling in which he was called — in this let him remain;

21 Ya kom sie mwet kohs ke pacl se God El pangon kom ah? Finne ouingan, mansis; tusruktu fin oasr pacl nu sum in ekla sie mwet sukosok, tuyak eis.

a servant — wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free — use [it] rather;

22 Tuh sie mwet kohs su pangonyuk sin Leum God, el mwet sukosokla lun Leum. In lumah sacna, sie mwet sukosok su pangonyuk sin Christ el mwet kohs lun Christ.

for he who [is] in the Lord — having been called a servant — is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:

23 God El molikowosla ke sie mwe moul; ke ma inge nimet kowos mwet kohs lun mwet uh.

with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men;

24 Mwet lili ac lulu, kais sie suwos in mutana yurin God in ouiya se na el oasr kac ke pacl se God El pangnol.

each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

25 Inge, ke mwet lolap ku mwet lolapla: wangin ma sap sin Leum nu sik, tusruktu nga fah fahk nunak luk sifacna, oana ke nga sie su ku in lulalfongiyuk ke sripen lungkulang lun Leum.

And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful:

26 Nga nunku mu ac wo sie mukul in mutana ke ouiya ma el oasr kac inge, ke sripen upa lun pacl uh.

I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter be thus: —

27 Fin oasr mutan kiom, nimet kom srike in sisella. Fin wangin mutan kiom, nimet kom suk in oasr.

Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

28 Tusruktu kom fin payukyak, wangin ma koluk lom kac; ac sie mutan lolap fin payukyak, wangin pac ma koluk lal kac. Tusruktu nga ke karinginkowosyang liki mwe akfohs lun faclu ma kwacna sikyak inmasrlon mwet payuk uh.

But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you.

29 Mwet lili luk, kalmen ma nga fahk uh pa inge: tia yohk pacl lula, na pacl se ingela, mukul ma payuk uh enenu in moul oana elos tia payuk;

And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened — that both those having wives may be as not having;

30 elos su tung, elos in oru oana elos in tia asor; elos su israsr, elos in oru oana elos tia engan; elos su moli kutena ma, elos in oru oana in tia ma lalos ma elos molela;

and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;

31 elos su orekmakin ma lun faclu, elos in orekma oana elos in tia liksreni kafofo kac. Tuh ouiya lun faclu in pacl inge ac sa na wanginla.

and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.

32 Nga kena in wangin fosrnga lowos. Sie mukul lolap el nunku yohk ke orekma lun Leum, ke sripen el srike in akinsewowoye Leum.

And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

33 Tusruktu sie mukul payuk el nunku yohk ke ma lun faclu, mweyen el kena akinsewowoye mutan kial,

and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

34 ac ouinge el inseluoelik. Sie mutan tia payuk ku sie mutan soenna payuk el nunku yohk ke orekma lun Leum, mweyen el kena kisakunla kewana manol ac ngunal. A sie mutan payuk el nunku yohk ke ma lun faclu, mweyen el kena akinsewowoye mukul tumal.

The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

35 Nga fahk ma inge mweyen nga kena kasrekowos. Nga tia srike in sikulkowosi, a nga kena kowos in oru ma su suwohs ac fal, ac in sifacna eiskowosyang nufon nu ke orekma lun Leum, ac wangin ma ikolkowosi.

And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly,

36 Funu mwet luo ma srakna ako ac eltal sulela in tia payuk: mukul sac fin pula mu ouiya lal tia fal nu sin mutan fusr sac, ac nunak lal fin arulana upa ac el pula mu eltal enenu in payuk, na fal eltal in payukyak, oana lungse lal. Wangin ma koluk ke ma se inge.

and if any one doth think [it] to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin — let him marry.

37 Tusruktu sie mukul fin sulela ku sel mu el ac tia payuk, ac nunak se inge ma lal sifacna ac tia ma ke sripa saya, el fin ku in kutongya nunak lal uh ac el sulela tari ma el ac oru — na ac wo elan tia payuk sin mutan fusr sac.

And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart — not having necessity — and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart — to keep his own virgin — doth well;

38 Ke ma inge mukul se fin payuk, wo ma el oru uh, a mukul se fin tia payuk ac wo liki na.

so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better.

39 Mutan payuk se el tia sukosok ke lusenna moul lun mukul tumal. Tusruktu mukul tumal ah fin misa, na el fah sukosokla in payukyak sin siena mukul ma el lungse, tusruktu mukul sac enenu in mwet Christian se.

A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will — only in the Lord;

40 El fah engan yohk liki el fin mutana tia payuk. Pa inge nunak luk, ac nga nunku mu Ngun lun God oasr pac yuruk.

and she is happier if she may so remain — according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
