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

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

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.

²But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own 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'.

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

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.

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

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.

⁵Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.

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

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

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.

⁷Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

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

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

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

⁹But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

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.

¹⁰But unto the married I give charge, [yea] not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband

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.

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

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.

¹²But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

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.

¹³And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

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.

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

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'.

¹⁵Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us in peace.

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

¹⁶For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

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.

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

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.

¹⁸Was any man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

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

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

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.

²⁰Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called.

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.

²¹Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.

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.

²²For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord's freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ's bondservant.

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

²³Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men.

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.

²⁴Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.

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.

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

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.

²⁶I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, [namely,] that it is good for a man to be as he is.

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

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

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.

²⁸But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.

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.

²⁹But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;

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.

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

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.

³¹and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

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

³²But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

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

³³but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

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.

³⁴and is divided. [So] also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

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.

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

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.

³⁶But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.

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.

³⁷But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching in his own heart, to keep his own virgin [daughter], shall do well.

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

³⁸So then both he that giveth his own virgin [daughter] in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better.

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.

³⁹A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

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'.

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