Corinthios I 7
1 De quibus autem scripsistis mihi: Bonum est homini mulierem non tangere:
BUT concerning those (questions) of which you wrote to me, It is well for a man unto a woman not to come nigh;
2 propter fornicationem autem unusquisque suam uxorem habeat, et unaquaeque suum virum habeat.
but, because of fornication, let a man take his wife, and let a woman take her husband.
3 Uxori vir debitum reddat: similiter autem et uxor viro.
And let a man render the love that is due unto his wife;
4 Mulier sui corporis potestatem non habet, sed vir. Similiter autem et vir sui corporis potestatem non habet, sed mulier.
so also the wife to her husband. For the wife hath not authority over her body, but the husband; so also the man hath not authority over his body, but his wife.
5 Nolite fraudare invicem, nisi forte ex consensu ad tempus, ut vacetis orationi: et iterum revertimini in idipsum, ne tentet vos Satanas propter incontinentiam vestram.
Defraud not then one the other, unless you both agree for a time, that you may humble yourselves by fasting and by prayer; and return again unto the same will, that Satana may not tempt you on account of the desire of your bodies.
6 Hoc autem dico secundum indulgentiam, non secundum imperium.
But this I speak as to the infirm; (and) not from commandment.
7 Volo autem omnes vos esse sicut meipsum: sed unusquisque proprium donum habet ex Deo: alius quidem sic, alius vero sic.
For I would that all men were as I am, in chastity. But every man hath the gift given to him from Aloha, this one thus, and the other thus.
8 Dico autem non nuptis, et viduis: bonum est illis si sic permaneant, sicut et ego.
But I say to those who have no wives, and to the widows, that it is expedient for them to remain as I do.
9 Quod si non se continent, nubant. Melius est enim nubere, quam uri.
Yet, if they persevere not, they should marry; for it is better to take a wife than to burn with concupiscence.
10 Iis autem, qui matrimonio iuncti sunt, praecipio non ego, sed Dominus, uxorem a viro non discedere:
But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not.
11 quod si discesserit, manere innuptam, aut viro suo reconciliari. Et vir uxorem non dimittat.
Yet, if she separate, let her remain without a man, or unto her husband be reconciled. And let not a man put away his wife.
12 Nam ceteris ego dico, non Dominus. Si quis frater uxorem habet infidelem, et haec consentit habitare cum illo, non dimittat illam.
But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 Et si qua mulier fidelis habet virum infidelem, et hic consentit habitare cum illa, non dimittat virum:
And any woman who has an husband unbelieving, and he willeth to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
14 sanctificatus est enim vir infidelis per mulierem fidelem, et sanctificata est mulier infidelis per virum fidelem: alioquin filii vestri immundi essent, nunc autem sancti sunt.
For the man who believeth not is sanctified by the wife who believeth; and any wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband who believeth; otherwise their children would be unclean; but now are they clean.
15 Quod si infidelis discedit, discedat: non enim servituti subiectus est frater, aut soror in huiusmodi: in pace autem vocavit nos Deus.
But if he who believeth not separate, let him separate; a brother or a sister is not in servitude to these: unto peace Aloha hath called us.
16 Unde enim scis mulier, si virum salvum facies? aut unde scis vir, si mulierem salvam facies?
For how knowest thou, wife, whether thou mayest save thy husband? Or knowest thou, man, if thy wife thou mayest save?
17 nisi unicuique sicut divisit Dominus, unumquemque sicut vocavit Deus, ita ambulet, et sicut in omnibus Ecclesiis doceo.
But (according as) the Lord hath distributed to every one, as Aloha hath called, so let him walk; and thus in all the churches, so I direct.
18 Circumcisus aliquis vocatus est? non adducat praeputium. In praeputio aliquis vocatus est? non circumcidatur.
If a man circumcised hath been called, let him not turn to uncircumcision; and if in uncircumcision he hath been called, let him not be circumcised.
19 Circumcisio nihil est, et praeputium nihil est: sed observatio mandatorum Dei.
For circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but the observances of the commandments of Aloha.
20 Unusquisque in qua vocatione vocatus est, in ea permaneat.
Let every man in the calling in which he hath been called remain.
21 Servus vocatus es? non sit tibi curae: sed et si potes fieri liber, magis utere.
If a servant thou wast called, be not careful, but, if also thou canst be made free, choose that thou shouldest serve.
22 Qui enim in Domino vocatus est servus, libertus est Domini: similiter qui liber vocatus est, servus est Christi.
For he who a servant is called in the Lord, is the freeman of Aloha, so he who as a son of freedom is called, is a servant of the Meshiha.
23 Pretio empti estis, nolite fieri servi hominum.
With a price are you bought; you will not be servants of men.
24 Unusquisque ergo in quo vocatus est frater, in hoc permaneat apud Deum.
Every one in that in which he was called, my brethren, in it let him remain unto Aloha.
25 De virginibus autem praeceptum Domini non habeo: consilium autem do, tamquam misericordiam consecutus a Domino, ut sim fidelis.
BUT respecting virginity, a commandment from Aloha I have not received; but I give counsel as a man who hath had grace from Aloha to be faithful.
26 Existimo enim hoc bonum esse propter instantem necessitatem, quoniam bonum est homini sic esse.
And I consider that this is good, on account of the necessity of the time, that it is expedient for a man so to be.
27 Alligatus es uxori? noli quaerere solutionem. Solutus es ab uxore? noli quaerere uxorem.
Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 Si autem acceperis uxorem: non peccasti. Et si nupserit virgo, non peccavit. tribulationem tamen carnis habebunt huiusmodi. Ego autem vobis parco.
Yet, if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not; and if a virgin shall be to a husband, she sinneth not. Yet affliction in the body will be to them who are such; but I am sparing over you.
29 Hoc itaque dico, fratres: Tempus breve est: reliquum est, ut et qui habent uxores, tamquam non habentes sint:
And this I say, my brethren, that the time now becomes contracted; and they who have wives should be as not having them;
30 et qui flent, tamquam non flentes: et qui gaudent, tamquam non gaudentes: et qui emunt, tamquam non possidentes:
and they who weep, as not weeping; and they who rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they who buy, as not possessing;
31 et qui utuntur hoc mundo, tamquam non utantur: praeterit enim figura huius mundi.
and they who use this world should not exceed the just use; for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32 Volo autem vos sine solicitudine esse. Qui sine uxore est, solicitus est quae Domini sunt, quomodo placeat Deo.
Wherefore I would that you be without anxiety; for he who hath not a wife thinketh of the things of his Lord, that so he may please his Lord;
33 Qui autem cum uxore est, solicitus est quae sunt mundi, quomodo placeat uxori, et divisus est.
and he who hath a wife is anxious for the world, that so he may please his wife.
34 Et mulier innupta, et virgo cogitat quae Domini sunt, ut sit sancta corpore, et spiritu. Quae autem nupta est, cogitat quae sunt mundi, quomodo placeat viro.
But there is a distinction between the wife and the virgin. She who hath no man is thoughtful of the things of her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit; and she who hath a husband is thoughtful of the world, that so she may please her husband.
35 Porro hoc ad utilitatem vestram dico: non ut laqueum vobis iniiciam, sed ad id, quod honestum est, et quod facultatem praebeat sine impedimento Dominum obsecrandi.
But this for your own profit speak I; not to throw a snare over you, but that you may be constant towards your Lord in a comely manner, while not thoughtful of the world.
36 Si quis autem turpem se videri existimat super virgine sua, quod sit superadulta, et ita oportet fieri: quod vult faciat: non peccat, si nubat.
But if a man consider it to be dishonourable toward his virgin, who hath passed her time, that he hath not given her to the man, (and) that it is proper that he should give her; as he willeth let him act, he sinneth not: let them marry.
37 Nam qui statuit in corde suo firmus, non habens necessitatem, potestatem autem habens suae voluntatis, et hoc iudicavit in corde suo, servare virginem suam, bene facit.
But he who hath firmly decided in his own mind, and nothing constraineth him, and (who hath) power in his will, and thus judgeth in his heart, that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
38 Igitur et qui matrimonio iungit virginem suam, bene facit: et qui non iungit, melius facit.
And he then who giveth his virgin doeth well, and he who giveth not his virgin doeth better.
39 Mulier alligata est legi quanto tempore vir eius vivit. quod si dormierit vir eius, liberata est: cui vult nubat: tantum in Domino.
The wife, so long as her husband liveth, is bound by the law; but if her husband shall die, she is free, that she may do what she willeth, only in our Lord.
40 Beatior autem erit si sic permanserit secundum meum consilium: puto autem quod et ego Spiritum Dei habeam.
But it is good if thus she remain, according to my own mind. But I think also that the Spirit of Aloha is in me.
