1Na ca daek kawng dongah huta tongpa a ben pawt te then coeng.
1Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2Tedae Cukhalnah dongah a yuu rhip khueh uh saeh lamtah a va rhip khueh uh saeh.
2But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3Huta te tongpa loh docanah neh thuung saeh. Te vanbangla huta long khaw tongpa taengah khueh van saeh.
3Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
4Huta loh amah pum te a hutnah moenih. A va long ni a hutnah. Te vanbangla tongpa long khaw amah pum a hutnah moenih huta long ni a hutnah.
4The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
5Kotluep la a om pawt oeh atah thangthuinah tue te na hoep phoeiah amah la koep na om uh mai mako. Te daengah ni na khoeihveetnah dongah Satan loh nangmih n'cuekcawn pawt eh.
5Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6Tedae hekah he olpaek nen pawt tih rhoirhinah nen ni ka thui.
6But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7Hlang boeih he kamah bangla om sak ham ka ngaih pataeng. Pathen taengkah kutdoe te amah ah pakhat rhip loh he he, pakhat loh ke tila rhip a khueh.
7Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
8Pumhong rhoek neh nuhmai rhoek te kai bangla om uh koinih amih ham then dae ka ti.
8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9Tedae a kuemsuem uh pawt atah imkhueh saeh. A cahoeh lakah tah yuloh vaksak tih a om te then ngai.
9But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
10Tedae rhukom rhoek te ka uen he kai long pawt tih Boeipa long ni ng'uen.
10But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
11Huta loh a va te maa boel saeh. Tedae a maa oeh atah pumhong la tlumhmawn saeh. Te lakah atah a va te moeithen saeh lamtah a va long khaw a yuu te hnoo boel saeh.
11(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
12Tedae a tloe rhoek taengah kai loh Boeipa long moenih ka ti. Manuca khat khat loh aka tangnahmueh te a yuu la a khueh tih anih te a taengah kol ham a naep atah anih te hnoo boel saeh.
12But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
13Huta long khaw aka tangnahmueh khat khat te a va la a khueh tih tongpa long khaw anih taengah kol ham a naep atah a va te maa boel saeh.
13The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
14Aka tangnahmueh tongpa tah a yuu lamloh a ciim tih aka tangnahmueh huta tah manuca lamloh ciim coeng. Te pawt koinih na ca rhoek te rhalawt la om uh sui dae a cim la a om uh coeng he ta.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15Tedae aka tangnahmueh loh a maa atah maa ngawn saeh. Manuca neh ngannu tah tebang dongah sal a bi sak voel moenih. Tedae rhoepnah khuila nangmih te Pathen loh n'khue coeng.
15Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.
16Huta aw tongpa te na khang ham khaw metlam na ming. tongpa aw huta te na khang ham khaw metlam na ming.
16For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17Hlang khat rhip te Boeipa loh a tultael tih Pathen loh a khue vanbangla rhip kan uh tangloeng saeh. Te dongah ni hlangboel khuikah boeih te khaw kang uen van.
17Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
18Yahvinrhet pakhat la a khue coeng te tah paa boel saeh. Pumdul khuikah pakhat te a khue coeng atah yahvinrhet boel mai saeh.
18Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19yahvinrhetnah te a hoeihae la om. Pumdul khaw a hoeihae la om. Tedae Pathen kah olpaek te kuem saeh.
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
20Khuenah khuila a khue rhoek boeih tah a khuenah dongah naeh saeh.
20Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
21Sal la n'khue vaengah nang ham na ngaihuet pawh. Tedae na loeih uh thai coeng oeh atah lat rhoidoeng uh laeh.
21Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
22Boeipa ah a khue sal pakhat te Boeipa ah hlang loeih la om. Te vanbangla aka loeih te khaw a khue coeng atah Khrih kah sal la om.
22For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
23A phu neh n'lai uh dongah hlang kah sal la om uh boeh.
23You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
24Manuca rhoek te te khuila rhip a khue. Te nen te Pathen taengah naeh saeh.
24Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
25Oila ham te tah Boeipa kah olpaek ka khueh pawh. Tedae a rhen tangtae vanbangla Boeipa dongah uepom la om ham poeknah ka paek.
25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
26A kueknah te ha pai coeng dongah a then la om he ka poek van. Te tlam te hlang taengah a then la om tangloeng saeh.
26Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
27Na yuu la a samtom te paekrhanah tlap boeh. Yuu te na hlak atah yuu tlap voel boeh.
27Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
28Tedae na yunah van atah na tholh moenih. Oila long khaw va a sak atah a tholh moenih. Tedae tebang te pumsa ah phacip phabaem la om ni. Te dongah kai loh nangmih kan hlun.
28But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
29Manuca rhoek, hekah he ka thui dae a tue loh tok coeng. Tahae lamkah tah yuu aka khueh khaw aka khueh pawt banglam a om pueng eh.
29But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
30Aka rhap long te khaw aka rhap pawt bangla, aka omngaih long khaw aka omngaih pawt bangla, aka lai long khaw aka khueh pawt bangla,
30and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;
31Diklai aka hnonah rhoek lawn boeh. Diklai kah he tah a suisak khum coeng.
31and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
32Tedae nangmih te bidip la om sak ka ngaih. Pumhong loh Boeipa te kolo sak ham Boeipa kah bitat dongah mawn saeh.
32But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
33Tedae rhukom tah a yuu te kolo sak ham Diklai kah bitat dongah mawn saeh.
33but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
34Tedae a cikok dongah pumhong nu long khaw, oila long khaw Boeipa kah bitat dongah mawn saeh. Te daengah ni pum neh mueihla ah khaw a cim la a om eh. Tedae rhukom nu tah a va te kolo sak ham Diklai kah bitat dongah mawn saeh.
34There is also 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.
35Nangmih te amah rhoeikhang ham ka thui coeng he. Nangmih te kuiokrhui kan sui thil moenih. Tedae Boeipa te a koihhilh neh liplip ngaan sak ham ni ka thui.
35This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
36Tedae pakhat loh a oila nah te savek tih suiham la a om khaw a poek khaming. Te vaengah a kuek aka om van te tah a ngaih bangla rhoi sak. A tholh moenih yuva uh rhoi saeh.
36But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.
37Tedae a thinko ah khak aka pai te tah a kueknah a om moenih. Amah a kongaih kawng dongah saithainah a khueh ngawn. He tla ko a taam khaw a oila te tuem ham ni a thinko ah balh a saii coeng.
37But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
38Te dongah amah kah oila aka bae tah balh a saii coeng. Yuloh neh vasak pawt long khaw a then ni a saii.
38So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
39Huta tah a hing tue khuiah a va loh a pin. Tedae a va te a duek atah aka loeih la om coeng tih a ngaih te tah Boeipa ming neh dawk vanah saeh.
39A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
40Tedae kai kah kopoek bangla om mai koinih a yoethen ni. Kai long khaw Pathen kah Mueihla a khueh tila ka poek.
40But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
