1واما من جهة الامور التي كتبتم لي عنها فحسن للرجل ان لا يمسّ امرأة.
1Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2ولكن لسبب الزنى ليكن لكل واحد امرأته وليكن لكل واحدة رجلها.
2But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3ليوف الرجل المرأة حقها الواجب وكذلك المرأة ايضا الرجل.
3Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
4ليس للمرأة تسلط على جسدها بل للرجل. وكذلك الرجل ايضا ليس له تسلط على جسده بل للمرأة.
4The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife.
5لا يسلب احدكم الآخر الا ان يكون على موافقة الى حين لكي تتفرغوا للصوم والصلاة ثم تجتمعوا ايضا معا لكي لا يجربكم الشيطان لسبب عدم نزاهتكم.
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.
6ولكن اقول هذا على سبيل الاذن لا على سبيل الامر.
6But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7لاني اريد ان يكون جميع الناس كما انا. لكن كل واحد له موهبته الخاصة من الله. الواحد هكذا والآخر هكذا
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.
8ولكن اقول لغير المتزوجين وللارامل انه حسن لهم اذا لبثوا كما انا.
8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9ولكن ان لم يضبطوا انفسهم فليتزوجوا. لان التزوج اصلح من التحرق.
9But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn.
10واما المتزوجون فاوصيهم لا انا بل الرب ان لا تفارق المرأة رجلها.
10But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
11وان فارقته فلتلبث غير متزوجة او لتصالح رجلها. ولا يترك الرجل امرأته.
11(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
12واما الباقون فاقول لهم انا لا الرب ان كان اخ له امرأة غير مؤمنة وهي ترتضي ان تسكن معه فلا يتركها.
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.
13والمرأة التي لها رجل غير مؤمن وهو يرتضي ان يسكن معها فلا تتركه.
13The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
14لان الرجل غير المؤمن مقدس في المرأة والمرأة غير المؤمنة مقدسة في الرجل. وإلا فاولادكم نجسون. واما الآن فهم مقدسون.
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.
15ولكن ان فارق غير المؤمن فليفارق. ليس الاخ او الاخت مستعبدا في مثل هذه الاحوال. ولكن الله قد دعانا في السلام.
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.
16لانه كيف تعلمين ايتها المرأة هل تخلّصين الرجل. او كيف تعلم ايها الرجل هل تخلّص المرأة.
16For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17غير انه كما قسم الله لكل واحد كما دعا الرب كل واحد هكذا ليسلك وهكذا انا آمر في جميع الكنائس.
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.
18دعي احد وهو مختون فلا يصر اغلف. دعي احد في الغرلة فلا يختتن.
18Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19ليس الختان شيئا وليست الغرلة شيئا بل حفظ وصايا الله.
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20الدعوة التي دعي فيها كل واحد فليلبث فيها.
20Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
21دعيت وانت عبد فلا يهمك. بل وان استطعت ان تصير حرا فاستعملها بالحري.
21Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
22لان من دعي في الرب وهو عبد فهو عتيق الرب. كذلك ايضا الحرّ المدعو هو عبد للمسيح.
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.
23قد اشتريتم بثمن فلا تصيروا عبيدا للناس.
23You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
24ما دعي كل واحد فيه ايها الاخوة فليلبث في ذلك مع الله
24Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
25واما العذارى فليس عندي امر من الرب فيهنّ ولكنني اعطي رأيا كمن رحمه الرب ان يكون امينا.
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.
26فاظن ان هذا حسن لسبب الضيق الحاضر انه حسن للانسان ان يكون هكذا.
26I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a man to be as he is.
27انت مرتبط بامرأة فلا تطلب الانفصال. انت منفصل عن امرأة فلا تطلب امرأة.
27Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
28لكنك وان تزوجت لم تخطئ. وان تزوجت العذراء لم تخطئ. ولكن مثل هؤلاء يكون لهم ضيق في الجسد. واما انا فاني اشفق عليكم.
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.
29فاقول هذا ايها الاخوة الوقت منذ الآن مقصّر لكي يكون الذين لهم نساء كأن ليس لهم.
29But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
30والذين يبكون كأنهم لا يبكون والذين يفرحون كأنهم لا يفرحون والذين يشترون كأنهم لا يملكون.
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;
31والذين يستعملون هذا العالم كانهم لا يستعملونه. لان هيئة هذا العالم تزول.
31and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
32فاريد ان تكونوا بلا هم. غير المتزوج يهتم في ما للرب كيف يرضي الرب.
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;
33واما المتزوج فيهتم في ما للعالم كيف يرضي امرأته.
33but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
34ان بين الزوجة والعذراء فرقا. غير المتزوجة تهتم في ما للرب لتكون مقدسة جسدا وروحا. واما المتزوجة فتهتم في ما للعالم كيف ترضي رجلها
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.
35هذا اقوله لخيركم ليس لكي ألقي عليكم وهقا بل لاجل اللياقة والمثابرة للرب من دون ارتباك.
35This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
36ولكن ان كان احد يظن انه يعمل بدون لياقة نحو عذرائه اذا تجاوزت الوقت وهكذا لزم ان يصير فليفعل ما يريد. انه لا يخطئ. فليتزوجا.
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.
37واما من اقام راسخا في قلبه وليس له اضطرار بل له سلطان على ارادته وقد عزم على هذا في قلبه ان يحفظ عذراءه فحسنا يفعل.
37But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.
38اذا من زوج فحسنا يفعل ومن لا يزوج يفعل احسن.
38So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
39المرأة مرتبطة بالناموس ما دام رجلها حيّا. ولكن ان مات رجلها فهي حرّة لكي تتزوج بمن تريد في الرب فقط.
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.
40ولكنها اكثر غبطة ان لبثت هكذا بحسب رأيي. واظن اني انا ايضا عندي روح الله
40But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
