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

¹Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

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

²But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

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

³Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

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

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.

⁵Ha 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.

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.

⁶Laakiin taas fasax ahaan ayaan u leeyahay ee amrise maayo.

⁶But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

⁷De 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.

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.

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

⁸But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.

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

⁹But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn.

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

¹⁰But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband

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

¹¹(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

¹²Kuwa 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.

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.

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

¹³The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.

¹⁴Waayo, 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.

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.

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

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.

¹⁶Waayo, 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?

¹⁶For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

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

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.

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

¹⁸Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

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

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

²⁰Nin kastaa sidii loogu yeedhay, ha sii ahaado.

²⁰Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.

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

²¹Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

²²Waayo, 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.

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.

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

²³You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.

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

²⁴Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.

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

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.

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

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.

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

²⁷Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.

²⁸Laakiin 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.

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.

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

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;

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

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;

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

³¹and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.

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

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;

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

³³but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

³⁴Afada 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.

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.

³⁵Tan 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.

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.

³⁶Nin 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.

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.

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

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.

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

³⁸So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.

³⁹Naag waxay ku xidhan tahay ninkeeda intuu nool yahay, laakiin haddii ninku dhinto, waa xor inay guursato kay doonto laakiin xagga Rabbiga oo keliya.Laakiin way ka sii faraxsanaan lahayd hadday iska joogto, siday aniga ila tahay, oo anigu waxaan u malaynayaa inaan Ruuxa Ilaah leeyahay.

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.

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

⁴⁰But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
