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 about which you wrote to me: 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 sexual immoralities, 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 to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 remain even as I am.

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 don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s 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 to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave 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 if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave 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 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.

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.

¹³The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live 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 husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are 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 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.

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

¹⁶For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your 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 has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

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 anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone 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 stay in that calling in which 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.

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

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 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.

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

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

²⁴Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition 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 from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from 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 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.

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

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

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 I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who 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 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;

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 who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes 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 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;

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

³³but he who is married is concerned about 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.

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

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

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