1 W axyaalahaad ii soo qorteen xaggooda, Waxaa nin u wanaagsan inuusan qof dumar ah taaban.

¶ Now concerning the things of which ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

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

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3 N inku afada waxa ku qumman ha siiyo, sidaas oo kale afaduna ninka waxa ku qumman ha siiso.

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence, and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

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

The wife does not have authority of her own body, but the husband; and likewise also the husband does not have authority of his own body, but the wife.

5 H a 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.

Do not defraud one another, except it be with mutual consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer and come together again, that Satan not tempt you for your incontinency.

6 L aakiin taas fasax ahaan ayaan u leeyahay ee amrise maayo.

But I speak this by permission, and not by commandment.

7 D e 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.

For I would that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one after this manner and another after that.

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

I say, therefore, to the unmarried men and widowers, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

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

But if they do not have the gift of continence, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.

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

¶ And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife separate from her husband;

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

and if she separates, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband, and let not the husband put away his wife.

12 K uwa 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.

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord: If any brother has a wife that does not believe, and she consents to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

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

And the woman who has a husband that does not believe and if he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

14 W aayo, 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.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

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

But if the unbelieving spouse separates, let them separate. The brother or the sister is not under slavery in such cases, but God has called us to peace.

16 W aayo, 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?

For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or what knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

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

¶ But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let them walk. And so I ordain in all the congregations.

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

Is anyone called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Is anyone called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

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

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20 N in kastaa sidii loogu yeedhay, ha sii ahaado.

Let each abide in the same calling in which he was called.

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

Art thou called being a slave? care not for it; but if thou may be made free, use it rather.

22 W aayo, 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.

For he that is called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord’s freeman; likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s slave.

23 Q iimo weyn baa laydinku soo iibsaday; addoommada dadka ha noqonina.

Ye are bought with a price; do not make yourselves the slaves of men.

24 W alaalayaalow, nin kastaa sidii loogu yeedhay ha sii ahaado, isagoo Ilaah la jira.

Each one, brothers, in that state in which he was called, let him abide with God.

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

¶ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord, yet I give my advice, as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

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

I hold, therefore, this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be thus:

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

Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife.

28 L aakiin 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.

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have affliction in the flesh, but I forbear you.

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

But this I say, brothers, the time is short; for the rest, let those that have wives be as though they had none;

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

and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;

31 k uwa dunidan ku isticmaalaana, sidii iyagoo aan aad ugu isticmaalin, waayo, xaalka dunidan waa idlaanayaa.

and those that use this world, as not using it as their own, for the fashion of this world passes away.

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

But I would have you without worry. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

33 L aakiin kii guursaday wuxuu u welwelaa waxyaalaha dunida siduu afadiisa uga farxin lahaa.

but he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

34 A fada 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.

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit; but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

35 T an 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.

And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is honourable and that ye may attend upon the Lord without impediment.

36 N in 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.

¶ But if anyone thinks it uncomely regarding his daughter, if she passes the bloom of life, and need so requires, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.

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

Nevertheless, he that stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has liberty regarding his own, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his daughter, does well.

38 S idaasna kii bikraddiisa u guuriyaa si wanaagsan ayuu falaa, iyo kii bikraddiisa aan u guurinin si ka wanaagsan ayuu falaa.

So then he that gives her in marriage does well, but he that does not give her in marriage does better.

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

¶ The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is free and may be married to whom she will, if it is in the Lord.

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

But she shall be more blessed if she so abides, after my counsel, and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
