1 M idkiin haddii uu xaal ku haysto kan kale, miyuu ku dhacaa inuu ku dacweeyo kuwa aan xaqa ahayn hortooda, oo aanu ku dacwayn quduusiinta hortooda?

Does any of you dare, when he has a matter of complaint against another, to go to law before unrighteous men instead of before the saints (the people of God)?

2 M ise waydnaan garanaynin in quduusiintu ay dunida xukumi doonaan? Oo haddaad dunida xukuntaan, ma waxaad tihiin kuwa aan istaahilin inay waxyaalaha yaryar xukumaan?

Do you not know that the saints (the believers) will judge and govern the world? And if the world is to be judged and ruled by you, are you unworthy and incompetent to try of the smallest courts of justice?

3 M iyeydnaan ogayn inaynu malaa'igaha xukumi doonno? Intee ka badan baa waxyaalaha noloshan ku saabsan aynu xukumaynaa?

Do you not know also that we are to judge the angels and pronounce opinion between right and wrong ? How much more then matters pertaining to this world and of this life only!

4 H addaba haddii aad leedihiin axwaal ku saabsan waxyaalaha noloshan, kuwa aan waxba ka ahayn kiniisadda miyaad ka dhigaysaan inay xukumaan?

If then you do have such cases of everyday life to decide, why do you appoint those who of the church count for least and are without standing?

5 W axaan taas u leeyahay inaan idin ceebeeyo. Ma sidaas baa inaan dhexdiinna laga helaynin mid xigmad leh oo karaya inuu u gar qaybiyo walaalihiis,

I say this to move you to shame. Can it be that there really is not one man among you who is wise and competent enough to decide between members of the brotherhood,

6 l aakiin in walaal walaalkii dacweeyo oo uu weliba ku dacweeyo kuwa aan rumaysnayn hortooda?

But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers ?

7 H addaba waa idiin wada daran tahay in midkiinba midka kale dacweeyo. Maad iska daysaan, ha laydin xumeeyee? Maad iska daysaan, ha laydin dulmee?

Why, the very fact of your having lawsuits with one another at all is a defect (a defeat, an evidence of positive moral loss for you). Why not rather let yourselves suffer wrong and be deprived of what is your due? Why not rather be cheated (defrauded and robbed)?

8 L aakiin idinka qudhiinnu wax baad xumaysaan oo dulantaan, oo xataa walaalihiin.

But yourselves who wrong and defraud, and that even your own brethren!

9 A ma miyeydnaan ogayn in kuwa xaqa darani ayan dhaxlayn boqortooyadii Ilaah? Yaan laydin khiyaanayn. Ama dhillayaasha, ama kuwa sanamka caabuda, ama kuwa sinaysta, ama khaanisiinta,

Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality,

10 a ma tuugagga, ama kuwa wax badan damca, ama kuwa sakhraama, ama kuwa wax caaya, ama kuwa wax dulma, ma dhaxli doonaan boqortooyadii Ilaah.

Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.

11 Q aarkiin sidaas oo kale baad ahaan jirteen, laakiin waa laydinka maydhay, quduus baa laydinka dhigay, xaq baa laydinkaga dhigay magaca Rabbi Ciise Masiix iyo Ruuxa Ilaaheenna. Daahirla'aanta Iyo Nolosha Masiixigu Ma Wada Socdaan

And such some of you were. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

12 W ax waliba waa ii xalaal, laakiin wax waliba iima roona. Wax waliba waa ii xalaal, laakiin waxba ima addoonsan doonaan.

Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power.

13 C untada waxaa loo sameeyey caloosha, calooshana cuntada, laakiin Ilaah baa baabbi'in doona tan iyo taaba. Jidhka looma samayn sinada ee waxaa loo sameeyey Rabbiga, Rabbiguna jidhkuu xannaaneeyaa.

Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will finally end both and bring them to nothing. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body '> to save, sanctify, and raise it again].

14 I laah waa sara kiciyey Rabbiga, innagana xooggiisa ayuu inagu sara kicin doonaa.

And God both raised the Lord to life and will also raise us up by His power.

15 M iyaanaydin garanaynin jidhadhkiinnu inay yihiin xubnaha Masiixa? Haddaba miyaan qaadaa xubnaha Masiixa oo dhillo xubnaheed ka dhigaa? Yaanay noqon.

Do you not see and know that your bodies are members (bodily parts) of Christ (the Messiah)? Am I therefore to take the parts of Christ and make parts of a prostitute? Never! Never!

16 M iyaanaydin ogayn inuu kii dhillo raacaa la jidh yahay? Waayo, Ilaah wuxuu leeyahay, Labadu waxay noqon doonaan isku jidh.

Or do you not know and realize that when a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? The two, it is written, shall become one flesh.

17 L aakiin kii Rabbiga raacaa waa la ruux.

But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.

18 K a carara sinada. Dembi kaloo kasta oo nin falo, jidhka waa ka dibadda, laakiin kii dhillanimada falaa jidhkiisuu ku dembaabaa.

Shun immorality and all sexual looseness. Any other sin which a man commits is one outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

19 A ma miyaanaydin ogayn jidhkiinnu inuu yahay macbudka Ruuxa Quduuska ah ee idinku jira ee aad Ilaah ka hesheen? Oo idinku isma lihidin,

Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own,

20 w aayo, qiimo weyn baa laydinku soo iibsaday. Sidaa aawadeed Ilaah jidhkiinna ku ammaana.

You were bought with a price '> preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
