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

¹Eta scribatu drautaçuen gaucéz den becembatean, on da guiçonaren emazteric ez hunquitzea.

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

²Baina paillardiçari ihes eguiteagatic, batbederac bere emaztea biu, eta batbederac bere senharra biu.

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

³Emazteari senharrac çor draucan onheriztea renda bieçó: eta halaber emazteac-ere senharrari.

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.

⁴Emazteac bere gorputza eztu bere bothereco: baina senharrac: eta halaber senharrac-ere bere gorputza eztu bere bothereco, baina emazteac.

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.

⁵Ezteçaçuela defrauda batac bercea cembeit demboratacotz consentimendu batez ezpada, baruretan eta orationetan emplega çaiteztençát: eta harçara elkargana itzul çaitezte, Satanec tenta etzaitzatençát çuen incontinentiagatic

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

⁶Baina haur erraiten dut permissionez, ez manamenduz.

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.

⁷Ecen nahi nuque guiçon guciac liraden ni beçala: baina batbederac bere dohain propria du Iaincoaganic, batac hunela eta berceac hala.

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

⁸Bada erraiten drauet ezcondu-gabey eta alharguney, on dela hayençat, baldin badaudez ni beçala.

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

⁹Baina baldin continent ezpadirade, ezcon bitez: ecen hobe da ezconcea ecen ez erre içatea.

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

¹⁰Eta ezconduey denuntiatzen drauet, ez nic baina Iaunac, Emaztea senharraganic eztadin parti.

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

¹¹Eta baldin parti badadi bego ezcondu gabe, edo senharrari reconcilia bequió: senharrac-ere emaztea ezteçala vtzi.

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.

¹²Baina bercey nic erraiten drauet, ez Iaunac, Baldin cembeit anayec emazte infidela badu, eta emazteac consentitzen badu harequin habitatzera, ezteçan hura vtzi.

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

¹³Eta baldin cembeit emaztec senhar infidela badu, eta senharrac consentitzen badu harequin habitatzera, ezteçan hura vtzi.

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.

¹⁴Ecen sanctificatu da senhar infidela emazteaz, eta sanctificatu da emazte infidela senharraz: bercela çuen haourrac satsu lirateque: baina orain saindu dirade.

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.

¹⁵Eta baldin infidela partitzen bada, parti dadin ecen ezta suiet anayea edo arrebá halaco gaucetan: baina baquera deithu gaithu Iaincoac.

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

¹⁶Ecen cer daquin emazteá, eya senharra saluaturen dunanez? edo cer daquic senharrá, eya emaztea saluaturen duanez?

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.

¹⁷Baina nola batbederari dohaina partitu baitrauca Iaincoac, nola batbedera deithu baitu Iaunac, hala ebil bedi: eta hunela Eliça gucietan ordenatzen dut.

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

¹⁸Circoncidituric norbeit deithu içan da? ezterakarran preputioa: preputioan norbeit deithu içan da? eztadila circoncidi.

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

¹⁹Circoncisionea ezta deus, eta preputioa ezta deus: baina Iaincoaren manamenduén beguiratzea.

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

²⁰Batbedera cer vocationetan deithu içan baita hartan bego.

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

²¹Sclabo deithu aiz? eztuála arranguraric: baina baldin are libre eguin ahal bahadi, harçaz lehen vsat eçac.

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.

²²Ecen Iaunean deithu içan den sclaboa, Iaunaren libre da: eta halaber libre dethua, Christen sclabo da.

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

²³Precioz erossiac çareté, etzaretela guiçonén sclabo.

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

²⁴Batbedera certan deithu içan baita, anayeác, hartan bego Iaincoa baithan.

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.

²⁵Eta virginéz den becembatean Iaunaren manamenduric eztut: baina coseillu emaiten drauçuet, Iaunaganic fidel içatera misericordia vkan dudanac beçala.

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.

²⁶Estimatzen dut bada haour on dela presenteco necessitateagatic, ecen on dela guiçonarendaco hunela içatea.

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

²⁷Emazterequin lothua aiz? ezteçála bilha separationeric: emazteaganic lachatu aiz? ezteçála bilha emazteric.

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.

²⁸Bada baldin ezcon bahadi-ere, eztuc bekaturic eguin: eta baldin ezcon badadi virginá, eztu bekaturic eguin: baina halacoéc tribulatione vkanen duté haraguian: baina nic guppida çaituztet.

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;

²⁹Baina haur erraiten drauçuet, anayeác, ecen demborá labur dela hemendic harát, emaztedunac-ere, emazteric ezpalute beçala diraden:

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;

³⁰Eta nigarrez daudenac, nigarrez ezpalaude beçala: eta aleguera diradenac, aleguera ezpalirade beçala: eta erosten dutenac, posseditzen ezpaluté beçala:

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

³¹Eta mundu hunez vsatzen dutenac, vsatzen ezpaluté beçala: ecen mundu hunen figurá iragan doa.

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;

³²Eta nahi nuque çuec arrangura gabe cineten. Emazte gabe denac, artha du Iaunaren gaucéz, nolatan Iaunaren gogaraco daten:

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

³³Baina emaztedunac, artha du munduco gaucéz, nolatan emaztearen gogaraco daten.

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.

³⁴Diuers dirade emazte ezcondua eta virginá: emazte ezcondu gabeac, artha du Iaunaren diraden gaucéz, gorputzez eta spirituz sainda dençát: baina emazte ezconduac, artha du munduco gaucéz, nolatan senharraren gogaraco daten.

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.

³⁵Eta haur çuen probetchutan erraiten dut, ez laçoa eçar dieçaçuedençát: baina carazqui eta moldez Iaunari iuncta çaquizquiotençát empatchuric batre gabe.

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.

³⁶Baina baldin edoceinec vste badu ecen desohore duela haren virginác bere adin florea iragan deçan, eta hala eguin behar dela: nahi duena begui, eztu bekaturic eguiten: ezcon bitez.

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.

³⁷Baina bere bihotzean fermu dagoenac, necessitateric eztuela, baina du bere vorondate propriaren gainean puissança, eta haur deliberatu bere bihotzean, bere virginaren beguiratzera, vngui eguiten du.

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

³⁸Bada, bere virginá ezconcen duenac, vngui eguiten du: baina ezconcen eztuenac, hobequi eguiten du.

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.

³⁹Emaztea lothua da legueaz haren senharra vici den dembora gucian: baina haren senharra hil badadi, libre da norequin nahi den ezconceco, solament gure Iaunean.

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

⁴⁰Baina dohatsuago da baldin hala badago, ene conseilluaren araura: eta estimatzen dut nic-ere Iaincoaren Spiritua badudala.
