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

Now concerning the things of which you wrote to 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, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each 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 to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her 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 over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

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 deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

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

But I say this as a concession, not as a 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 wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in 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,

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;

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

but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. Keep Your Marriage Vows

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

Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart 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.

But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce 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, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.

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

And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce 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 unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage 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 how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? Live as You Are Called

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 him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.

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

Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? 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 keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

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

Let each one remain 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.

Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it.

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 who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave.

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

You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

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

Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called. To the Unmarried and Widows

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 from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy.

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

I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress—that it is good for a man to remain as he is:

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

Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek 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 even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare 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, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should 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;

those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,

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

and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing 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 want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of 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 who is married cares about the things 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 between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about 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 say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

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 any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. 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 who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his virgin, 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 who gives her in marriage does well, but he who 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.

A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only 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 is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment—and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
