¹Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

¹Kakaliliua-na ompi', mpotompoi' -a pompekunea' -ni to hi rala sura-ni to nipakatu-ka. Makono-di, lompe' ane tomane uma motobinei-e.

²Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

²Aga aku' mpo'uli', agina tomane mpotobine tobine-na moto-hawo, pai' tobine mpotomane tomane-na moto, bona neo' ria to mogau' sala' hewa to lalau.

³Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

³Uma lompe' ane tomane mpolaahi tobine-na ba tobine mpolaahi tomane-na, alaa-na uma-rapa hampoturua lau. Tomane kana mpo'ihii' gau' ncamoko hi tobine-na, wae wo'o-hawo tobine hi tomane-na. Butu dua-nara hore mpo'ihii' pogau' himpau hira'.

⁴The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

⁴Tobine uma ma'ala mpo'uli': "Woto-ku, anu-ku moto-kuwo." To mpohawai' -i, tomane-na. Wae wo'o tomane uma ma'ala mpo'uli' woto-na anu-na moto-hawo. To mpohawai' -i, tobine-na.

⁵Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

⁵Koi' tomane pai' tobine neo' himpau momelaahi alaa-na uma-koi hincoria hewa ada to ncamoko. Ane rapa' -na mpali' loga mosampaya-koi, pai' kahibaliaa-ni uma hincoria ba hangkuja kahae-na, ma'ala moto. Aga ane hudu-damo tempo toe, hincoria wo'o-mokoi. Apa' ane uma hewa toe-koi, mojoli lia-koi nasori seta mogau' sala' apa' uma nikulei' ntaha konoa-ni.

⁶But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

⁶To ku'uli' toi, bela hawa'. To ku'uli' -le, ane kahibaliaa-ni uma hincoria ba hangkuja kahae-na, ma'ala moto.

⁷For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

⁷Kakoo-kono-na, kupokono lia ane hawe'ea tauna loa hewa aku'. Aga uma hawe'ea tauna mporata pakulea' bona uma motobinei ba uma motomanei. Butu dua tauna hore-hore mporata pakulea' ngkai Alata'ala, hadua hewa toi hadua hewa tetu.

⁸I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

⁸Hi tauna to loa pai' hi tobine tobalu, ohe'i lolita-ku: lompe' lau ane bate-ni loa hewa aku'.

⁹But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

⁹Aga ane uma-koi ntaha, agina lau-pi ncamoko-koi. Apa' lompe' lau-pi ncamoko, ngkai hina-ni ncamoko uma nidadahi mpotaha.

¹⁰And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

¹⁰Hi ompi' -ompi' to ncamoko-mi, ohe'i hawa' -ku-- aga bela aku' pue' lolita, Pue' Yesus-hana pue' lolita: tobine to motomanei, neo' -i mpogaa' -ki tomane-na.

¹¹But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

¹¹Tapi' ane mpolia' napogaa' -miki, neo' -ipi motomanei. Ane uma wae, agina mpokanculihii-i tomane-na. Pai' tomane wo'o-hawo, neo' mpogaa' -ki tobine-na.

¹²But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

¹²Kakaliliua-na, hi ompi' -ompi' to ntani' -na, ohe'i lolita-ku-- tohe'i aku' moto-mi pue' lolita, uma ria hawa' ngkai Pue': ane ria hadua tomane to Kristen to mpotobine to bela-i to Kristen, hiaa' tobine-na toei dota tida hante hi'a, neo' napogaa' -ki.

¹³And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

¹³Wae wo'o ane tobine to Kristen to mpotomane to bela-i to Kristen, bo tomane-na toei dota tida dohe-na, neo' napogaa' -ki.

¹⁴For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

¹⁴Apa' tomane to uma mepangala' tetui, tetonu hi Pue' -imi sabana tobine-na. Pai' tobine to uma mepangala' tetonu hi Pue' wo'o-imi-hawo sabana tomane-na to mepangala'. Ane ke uma hewa toe, tantu ana' -ni hibalia ana' -ra to uma mpo'incai Pue'. Tapi' toe-e, ana' -ni bate tetonu hi Pue' -ramo sabana pepangala' totu'a-ra to hadua.

¹⁵But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

¹⁵Tapi' ane tauna to uma mepangala' hi Pue' tetui doko' mogaa', pelele' moto-imi. Hi gau' tohe'e, tobine ba tomane to mepangala' hi Pue' uma tehoo' hi ada poncamoko. Tapi' Alata'ala mpokio' -ta jadi' ana' -na bona tuwu' hintuwu'.

¹⁶For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

¹⁶Apa' uma ta'incai: meka' iko tobine mpokeni tomane-nu mepangala' hi Pue', ba iko tomane mpokeni tobine-nu mepangala' hi Pue'.

¹⁷But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

¹⁷Hi butu dua tauna Pue' mpowai' tuwu' to mosisala: ria-ta to loa, ria to motobinei, ria to tuwu' batua, ria to tuwu' maradika. Jadi', ane Alata'ala mpokio' -ta jadi' to Kristen, tatuku' -imi hi rala katuwu' -ta, hewa katuwu' -ta ami'. Toe-mi hawa' to kutudui' -raka hawe'ea to Kristen hi butu ngata kahilouaa-ku.

¹⁸Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

¹⁸Rapa' -na hadua to Yahudi, mepangala' -imi hi Pue' Yesus, uma mingki' nabahaka Katoyahudi-na. Wae wo'o ane tauna to bela-i to Yahudi mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus, uma mingki' mpopetini' -i jadi' to Yahudi.

¹⁹Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

¹⁹Apa' hi poncilo Alata'ala, ratini' -ta ba uma-ta ratini', uma omea ria tuju-na. To motuju-le, mpotuku' hawa' Alata'ala.

²⁰Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

²⁰Butu dua tauna, nau' ba beiwa katuwu' -ra, ane Alata'ala mpokio' -ra mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus, agina mpotuku' -ra Pue' hi rala katuwu' -ra toe.

²¹Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

²¹Ane rapa' -na tuwu' batua-ta, pai' -ta nakio' Alata'ala jadi' to Kristen, neo' tapopeda' nono. Bate tuwu' batua moto-mi. Tapi' ane ria-hawo kalogaa-ta tebahaka ngkai kabatua-ta, mengkabahaka-tamo.

²²For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

²²Ba tuwu' batua-ta ba tebahaka-tamo, hibalia-wadi hi poncilo Alata'ala. Apa' hadua batua to nakio' Alata'ala mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus, tebahaka-imi ngkai jeko' sabana posidaia' -na hante Pue'. Wae wo'o hadua maradika to nakio' Alata'ala mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus, batua Kristus wo'o-imi-hawo.

²³Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

²³Alata'ala mpo'oli-mokoi, oti-mi nabayari. Neo' -pokoi mpotuku' konoa manusia'.

²⁴Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

²⁴Jadi', hewa to ku'uli' we'i ompi': nau' ba beiwa katuwu' -ta nto'u Alata'ala mpokio' -ta jadi' to Kristen, neo' -pi tabalii'. Hante petulungi ngkai Alata'ala, tatuku' -imi hi rala katuwu' -ta.

²⁵Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

²⁵Kakaliliua-na ompi', mpokahangai' -a tauna to loa-pidi. Uma ria hawa' to kutarima ngkai Pue' Yesus, aga nau' -pa wae, ku'uli' -kokoi pomporataa-ku moto-kuwo-- pai' lolita-ku toi masipato' nipangala', apa' na'ongko' -a Pue' jadi' suro-na sabana ahi' -na.

²⁶I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

²⁶Jadi', ohe'i pomporataa-ku: hi tempo tohe'i, kita' to Kristen bate mponyanyo wori' nyala kaparia, toe pai' ku'uli' agina neo' tabalii' katuwu' -ta eo-eo-na hi rala dunia' toi.

²⁷Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

²⁷Rapa' -na: tauna to motobinei, neo' mpali' ohea-na bona mogaa' hante tobine-na. Tauna to uma motobinei, neo' mingki' motobinei.

²⁸But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

²⁸Aga ane hadua kabilasa doko' motobinei, uma wo'o-hawo napojeko' -ki. Pai' ane hadua toronaa doko' motomanei, uma wo'o napojeko' -ki. Aga toe-wadi: tauna to ncamoko bate mporata kasusaa' hi rala dunia' toi. Pai' konoa-ku bona neo' -koi narumpa' kasusaa' toe.

²⁹But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

²⁹Ompi' -ompi', patuju-ku hewa tohe'i: kita' to Kristen, kana takiwoi ka'uma-napi wori' loga-ta hi dunia' toi. Toe pai' ku'uli', ngkai tempo tohe'i tauna to mpolia' ncamoko-mi kana mo'ingku hewa to uma ncamoko.

³⁰And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

³⁰Tauna to geo', neo' ntora mpenonoi kasusaa' -na. Tauna to goe', neo' ntora mpenonoi kagoea' -na. Tauna to me'oli-mi ba napa-napa, neo' ntora mpenonoi rewa-na.

³¹And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

³¹Tauna to sese' mpali' katuwua' -ra hi rala dunia', neo' ntora mpenonoi katuwu' -ra hi dunia' toi-wadi. Apa' dunia' to tapo'ohai' toi neo' kahudua-nami.

³²But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

³²Konoa-ku ompi' bona neo' -koi sese' mpenonoi katuwu' -ni. Tauna to uma motobinei, mpenonoi Pue' -i-wadi, doko' mpakagoe' nono Pue'.

³³But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

³³Aga tauna to motobinei, mpenonoi wo'o-i katuwu' -na hi rala dunia' toi, doko' mpakagoe' nono tobine-na,

³⁴There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

³⁴alaa-na mopenga nono-na. Wae wo'o posisalaa tobine to motomanei pai' to uma motomanei. Tobine to uma motomanei ba toronaa ntora mpenonoi Pue' -i-wadi, apa' konoa-na bona katuwu' -na pahalolia hi Pue' -wadi. Aga tobine to motomanei, mpenonoi wo'o-i dunia' tohe'i, doko' mpakagoe' nono tomane-na.

³⁵And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

³⁵Pai' ku'uli' -kokoi tohe'i ompi', kalompea' -ni moto. Uma-a dota mpohoo' -koi hante wori' nyala parenta. Patuju-ku bona po'ingku-ni natao pai' masipato' oa' -wadi, bona ma'ala-koi mpotuku' Pue' hante uma ria to mposaleroi-koi.

³⁶But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

³⁶Rapa' -na hadua kabilasa mokamae' hante hadua toronaa. Na'uli' kabilasa toei, uma natao ane uma oa' napotobine kamae' -na, apa' kamae' -na toe katuu-tu'aa-i mpai'. Jadi', ane doko' mpu'u-imi motobinei, agina lau-ramo ncamoko, uma-hawo napojeko' -ki.

³⁷Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

³⁷Aga ane rapa' -na kabilasa toei mpo'uli' hi rala nono-na: "Agina neo' -a motobinei,"-- uma ria to mpewuku-i, konoa-na moto-hawo-- pai' ane nakule' moto mpotaha konoa woto-na, lompe' ane uma lau-ra ncamoko.

³⁸So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

³⁸Jadi', to ncamoko lompe' moto, aga to uma ncamoko meliu kalompe' -na.

³⁹The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

³⁹Ntuku' atura poncamoko, tobine to motomanei-mi tehoo' -i hi rala poncamoko-na hante tomane-na bula-na tuwu' -pidi tomane-na. Ane mate-damo-hawo tomane-na, tebahaka-imi ngkai ada poncamoko. Ma'ala moto-imi motomanei, asala tomane-na to bo'u to Kristen wo'o-i-hawo.

⁴⁰But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

⁴⁰Aga meliu kamorasi' -na ane uma-ipi motomanei. Toe, pomporataa-ku moto-wadi-hawo. Aga nau' wae, ku'uli' karia-na wo'o-kuwo Inoha' Alata'ala hi aku'.
