1 N ow as to the matters of which you wrote me. It is well for a man not to touch a woman but to remain unmarried.

Waxyaalahaad ii soo qorteen xaggooda, Waxaa nin u wanaagsan inuusan qof dumar ah taaban.

2 B ut because of the temptation to impurity and to avoid immorality, let each have his own wife and let each have her own husband.

Laakiin si aan loo sinaysan, nin kastaa afadiisa oo qudha ha haysto, naag kastaana ninkeeda oo qudha ha haysato.

3 T he husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights (goodwill, kindness, and what is due her as his wife), and likewise the wife to her husband.

Ninku afada waxa ku qumman ha siiyo, sidaas oo kale afaduna ninka waxa ku qumman ha siiso.

4 F or the wife does not have authority and control over her own body, but the husband; likewise also the husband does not have authority and control over his body, but the wife.

Afadu jidhkeeda uma taliso, laakiin ninkaa u taliya, sidaas oo kale ninku jidhkiisa uma taliyo, laakiin afadaa u talisa.

5 D o not refuse and deprive and defraud each other, except perhaps by mutual consent for a time, so that you may devote yourselves unhindered to prayer. But afterwards resume marital relations, lest Satan tempt you through your lack of restraint of sexual desire.

Ha isdiidina, wakhti aad ku heshiisaan inaad soon iyo tukasho u goosataan mooyaane, oo aad haddana isu timaadaan, si aan Shayddaanku idiin duufin iscelinla'aantiinna aawadeed.

6 B ut I am saying this more as a matter of permission and concession, not as a command or regulation.

Laakiin taas fasax ahaan ayaan u leeyahay ee amrise maayo.

7 I wish that all men were like I myself am. But each has his own special gift from God, one of this kind and one of another.

De waxaan jeclaan lahaa in nimanka oo dhammu ay sidayda oo kale yihiin. Laakiin nin kastaaba hadiyad gooni ah ayuu Ilaah ka helaa, midkan sidan, kaasna sidaas.

8 B ut to the unmarried people and to the widows, I declare that it is well (good, advantageous, expedient, and wholesome) for them to remain even as I do.

Laakiin anigu waxaan kuwa aan guursan iyo carmallada laga dhintay ku leeyahay, Waa u roon tahay iyaga inay sidayda oo kale sii ahaadaan,

9 B ut if they have not self-control (restraint of their passions), they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame.

laakiin hadday iscelin kari waayaan, ha guursadeen; waayo, waxaa dhaanta inay guursadaan intay guban lahaayeen.

10 B ut to the married people I give charge—not I but the Lord—that the wife is not to separate from her husband.

Laakiin kuwa guursaday waxaan ku amrayaa, kan amrayaa aniga ma aha laakiin waa Rabbiga, Afadu yaanay ninkeeda ka tegin.

11 B ut if she does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband. And the husband that he should not put away or divorce his wife.

Laakiin hadday ka tagto, ha iska guur la'aato ama ninkeedii ha la heshiiso; oo ninkuna yaanu afadiisa ka tegin.

12 T o the rest I declare—I, not the Lord —that if any brother has a wife who does not believe and she consents to live with him, he should not leave or divorce her.

Kuwa kale anigu waxaan ku leeyahay ee ma aha Rabbiga, Hadduu mid walaal ah qabo afo aan rumaysanayn, oo ayna raalli ka tahay inay la joogto, yaanu ka tegin.

13 A nd if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she should not leave or divorce him.

Oo afadii nin aan rumaysanayni qabo oo isna raalli ka yahay inuu la joogo, yaanay ninkeeda ka tegin.

14 F or the unbelieving husband is set apart (separated, withdrawn from heathen contamination, and affiliated with the Christian people) by union with his consecrated (set-apart) wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart and separated through union with her consecrated husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean (unblessed heathen, outside the Christian covenant), but as it is they are prepared for God.

Waayo, ninka aan rumaysanayni wuxuu quduus ku noqdaa xagga naagta, oo naagta aan rumaysanaynina waxay quduus ku noqotaa xagga ninka rumaysan, haddii kale carruurtiinna wasakh bay ahaan lahaayeen, laakiin haatan waa quduus.

15 B ut if the unbelieving partner leaves, let him do so; in such brother or sister is not morally bound. But God has called us to peace.

Laakiin haddii kan aan rumaysanayni tago, ha iska tago. Waxaas oo kale walaalka ama walaashu uma xidhxidhna. Ilaah wuxuu inoogu yeedhay nabad.

16 F or, wife, how can you be sure of converting and saving your husband? Husband, how can you be sure of converting and saving your wife?

Waayo, sidee baad ku garanaysaa, naag yahay, inaad ninkaaga badbaadin doonto iyo in kale? Ama sidee baad ku garanaysaa, nin yahow, inaad naagtaada badbaadin doonto iyo in kale?

17 O nly, let each one lead the life which the Lord has allotted and imparted to him and to which God has invited and summoned him. This is my order in all the churches.

Hase ahaatee, mid kastaa ha u socdo sidii Rabbigu ugu qaybshay iyo sidii Ilaah mid kasta ugu yeedhay. Oo sidaasaan kiniisadaha oo dhan ku amraa.

18 W as anyone at the time of his summons already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the evidence of circumcision. Was anyone at the time called him uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.

Nin gudan ma loo yeedhay? Gudniinla'aan yaanu noqon. Nin aan gudnayn ma loo yeedhay? Yaan la gudin.

19 F or circumcision is nothing and counts for nothing, neither does uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.

Gudniintu waxba ma aha; gudniinla'aantuna waxba ma aha, laakiin waxaa waajib ah in la xajiyo qaynuunnada Ilaah.

20 E veryone should remain after God calls him in the station or condition of life in which the summons found him.

Nin kastaa sidii loogu yeedhay, ha sii ahaado.

21 W ere you a slave when you were called? Do not let that trouble you. But if you are able to gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.

Ma laguu yeedhay adigoo addoon ah? Dan ha u gelin. Laakiin haddaad karayso inaad xorowdid, waa inaad aqbashid.

22 F or he who as a slave was summoned in the Lord is a freedman of the Lord, just so he who was free when he was called is a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).

Waayo, kii xagga Rabbiga loogu yeedhay isagoo addoon ah, wuxuu yahay ninka xorta ah ee Rabbiga, sidaas oo kalena kii isagoo xor ah loo yeedhay, wuxuu yahay addoonka Masiix.

23 Y ou were bought with a price; then do not yield yourselves up to become slaves to men.

Qiimo weyn baa laydinku soo iibsaday; addoommada dadka ha noqonina.

24 S o, brethren, in whatever station or state or condition of life each one was when he was called, there let him continue with and close to God.

Walaalayaalow, nin kastaa sidii loogu yeedhay ha sii ahaado, isagoo Ilaah la jira.

25 N ow concerning the virgins (the marriageable maidens) I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion and advice as one who by the Lord’s mercy is rendered trustworthy and faithful.

Amar bikradaha ku saabsan kama haysto xagga Rabbiga, laakiin waxaan kula talinayaa sida mid Rabbiga naxariis ka helay inuu aamin ahaado.

26 I think then, because of the impending distress, it is well (expedient, profitable, and wholesome) for a person to remain as he or she is.

Sidaa daraaddeed waxay ila tahay dhibta haatan joogta aawadeed inay u roon tahay nin inuu sii ahaado siduu yahay.

27 A re you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

Miyaad naag ku xidhan tahay? Ha doonin inaad ka furnaato. Miyaad naag ka furan tahay? Ha doonin naag.

28 B ut if you do marry, you do not sin, and if a virgin marries, she does not sin. Yet those who marry will have physical and earthly troubles, and I would like to spare you that.

Laakiin haddaad guursatid ma aad dembaabin, bikraduna hadday guursato ma ay dembaabin, laakiin kuwaas oo kale xagga jidhka dhib bay ka heli doonaan, laakiin dhibtaasaan idinka celin lahaa.

29 I mean, brethren, the appointed time has been winding down and it has grown very short. From now on, let even those who have wives be as if they had none,

Laakiin waxaan leeyahay, walaalayaalow, wakhtiga waa la soo gaabiyey, hadda kaddib kuwa naagaha qabaa ha ahaadeen sidii iyagoo aan qabin;

30 A nd those who weep and mourn as though they were not weeping and mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not possess anything,

oo kuwa ooyaana sidii iyagoo aan ooyin, kuwa farxaana sidii iyagoo aan farxin, kuwa wax iibsadaana sidii iyagoo aan waxba lahayn;

31 A nd those who deal with this world '> overusing the enjoyments of this life] as though they were not absorbed by it and as if they had no dealings with it. For the outward form of this world (the present world order) is passing away.

kuwa dunidan ku isticmaalaana, sidii iyagoo aan aad ugu isticmaalin, waayo, xaalka dunidan waa idlaanayaa.

32 M y desire is to have you free from all anxiety and distressing care. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord;

Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaad welwel la'aataan. Kii aan guursanin wuxuu u welwelaa waxyaalaha Rabbiga, siduu Rabbiga uga farxin lahaa.

33 B ut the married man is anxious about worldly matters—how he may please his wife—

Laakiin kii guursaday wuxuu u welwelaa waxyaalaha dunida siduu afadiisa uga farxin lahaa.

34 A nd he is drawn in diverging directions. And the unmarried woman or girl is concerned and anxious about the matters of the Lord, how to be wholly separated and set apart in body and spirit; but the married woman has her cares in earthly affairs—how she may please her husband.

Afada iyo bikraddu waa kala duwan yihiin. Tii aan la qabinu waxay u welweshaa waxyaalaha Rabbiga si ay quduus uga ahaato xagga jidhka iyo xagga ruuxa. Tii guursatay waxay u welweshaa waxyaalaha dunida si ay ninkeeda uga farxiso.

35 N ow I say this for your own welfare and profit, not to put restraint upon you, but to promote what is seemly and in good order and to secure your undistracted and undivided devotion to the Lord.

Tan waxaan idinku leeyahay waxtarkiinna aawadii ee ma aha inaan qool idin geliyo, laakiin in waxa roon la arko iyo inaad Rabbiga u adeegtaan kalajeedsadla'aan.

36 B ut if any man thinks that he is not acting properly toward and in regard to his virgin, in case she is passing the bloom of her youth and if there is need for it, let him do what to him seems right; he does not sin; let them marry.

Nin uun hadduu u maleeyo inuu wax aan toosnayn ku falayo xagga bikraddiisa, hadday wakhtigii dhallinyaronimadeedii dhaafto oo sidaas loo baahnaado, ha sameeyo wuxuu dooni lahaa. Dembaabi maayo ee ha guursadeen.

37 B ut whoever is firmly established in his heart, not being forced by necessity but having control over his own will and desire, and has resolved this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he is doing well.

Kii qalbigiisa ka adkaysta, isagoo aan la qasbin, laakiin nafsaddiisa u taliya, uuna qalbigiisa ka goostay inuu bikraddiisa iska sii hayo, si wanaagsan buu falaa.

38 S o also then, he who gives his virgin (his daughter) in marriage does well, and he who does not give in marriage does better.

Sidaasna kii bikraddiisa u guuriyaa si wanaagsan ayuu falaa, iyo kii bikraddiisa aan u guurinin si ka wanaagsan ayuu falaa.

39 A wife is bound to her husband by law as long as he lives. If the husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.

Naag waxay ku xidhan tahay ninkeeda intuu nool yahay, laakiin haddii ninku dhinto, waa xor inay guursato kay doonto laakiin xagga Rabbiga oo keliya.

40 B ut in my opinion is happier (more blessed and to be envied) if she does not remarry. And also I think I have the Spirit of God.

Laakiin way ka sii faraxsanaan lahayd hadday iska joogto, siday aniga ila tahay, oo anigu waxaan u malaynayaa inaan Ruuxa Ilaah leeyahay.
