विवाहको विषयमा
7 अब तिमीहरूलाई मलाई लेखेका कुराहरूको विषयमा म चर्चा गर्दछु। लोग्ने मानिसले विवाह नगरेको असल हो। 2 तर यौन अपराधको कारणले, प्रत्येक पुरुषको आफ्नो पत्नी हुनु पर्छ अनि प्रत्येक स्त्रीको आफ्नो पति हुनु पर्छ। 3 पतिले आफ्नी पत्नीलाई सब थोकहरू देओस् जुन एउटी पत्नीले पाउनु पर्छ र पत्नीले पनि आफ्ना पतिलाई सब कुरा देओस्, जुन एउटा पतिले पाउनु पर्छ। 4 आफ्नो शरीरमाथि पत्नीको कुनै अधिकार रहँदैन। उसको शरीरमाथि उसको पतिको अधिकार रहन्छ। 5 एकार्काको शरीरलाई अस्वीकार नगर। तर तिमीहरू दुवै केही समयको निम्ति यौन-सम्बनधबाट अलग बस्न सहमत हौ। तिमीहरूले प्रार्थनाको लागि यसो गर्नु सक्छौं अनि तब फेरि एक साथ होऊ। यसो गरेमा शैतानले तिम्रो कमजोरीद्वारा आर्कषण गराउन सक्तैन। 6 केही समयको निम्ति अलग रहनु भनेर म अनुमतिको रूपमा भन्दैछु। यसलाई आज्ञा नमान। 7 म त चाहन्छु सबै म जस्तै होऊन् तर प्रत्येक मानिसले परमेश्वरबाट आफ्नो निम्ति वरदान पाएको छ। एक जनाले एक किसिमको वरदान पाए को छ भने अर्कोले अर्कै किसिमको।
8 अब विवाह नगरेकाहरूलाई र विधवाहरूलाई म भन्छुः उनीहरूको लागि म जस्तै एकलो बस्नु राम्रो हो। 9 तर उनीहरूले आफूलाई वशमा राख्न सक्दैनन् भने, विवाह गरून्। यौन इच्छाले जल्नु भन्दा विवाह गर्नु असल हो।
10 अब म विवाह गर्नेहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिन्छु। यो आज्ञा मबाट होइन, यो प्रभूबाट हो। पत्नीले आफ्ना पतिलाई नछोडोस् 11 तर छोडिहाली भने पनि उसले फेरि विहे नगरोस्। कि त ऊ आफ्नै पतिसँग फेरि मिलोस्। पतिले पनि आफ्नी पत्नीलाई नत्यागोस्।
12 अरू सबैलाई म यो भन्छु। यी कुराहरू म भन्दैछु, प्रभुबाट होइन। ख्रीष्टमा एक भाइको यस्ती पत्नी हुन सक्छे जो ख्रीष्ट विश्वासी होइन। यदि त्यस्ती पत्नी उसित बस्न राजी छे भने उसले त्यसलाई नत्यागोस्। 13 अनि ख्रीष्टमा एक स्त्रीको अविश्वासी लोग्ने हुन सक्छ। तर यदि त्यो उसित बस्न राजी छ भने उसले पनि त्यसलाई नत्यागोस्। 14 एक अविश्वासी पति विश्वासी पत्नीद्वारा पवित्र बन्दछ। अनि अविश्वासी पत्नी पनि पनि विश्वासी पतिद्वारा पवित्र बन्छे। यसो नहुँदो होत तिमीहरूका छोर-छोरी अशुद्ध हुने थिए। तर अहिले उनीहरू पवित्र छन्।
15 तर विश्वास नगर्नेले त्याग्न खोजे, उसलाई त्यसो गर्न देऊ। त्यसो भएको खण्डमा ख्रीष्टमा भाइ वा बहिनी बन्धनमा रहदैंनन्। 16 परमेश्वरले हामीलाई शान्तिमय जीवनको निम्ति बोलाउनु भएकोछ। पत्नीहरू, तिमीहरूले नै आ-आफ्ना पतिलाई बचाउन सकौला, र पतिहरू, तिमीहरूले नै आ-आफ्ना पत्नीलाई बचाउन सकौला। पछि के हुने हो तिमीहरू अहिले जान्दैनौ।
परमेश्वरले भन्नु भए जस्तै बाँच
17 जे जस्तो सुकै भए पनि जुन अवस्थामा परमेश्वरले उसलाई बोलाएको समयमा ऊ त्यो अनि जुन अवस्थामा उसलाई अहिले परमेश्वरले राख्नु भएकोछ उसरीनै प्रत्येक मानिस बाँच्नु पर्छ। यही नियम हो जो म सबै मण्डलीहरूलाई दिन्छु। 18 यदि कुनै मानिस बोलाइँदा पहिल्यैबाट खतना भएको थियो भने उसले आफ्नो परिवर्तन गर्नु पर्दैन। यदि खतना नगरिएको मानिस बोलाइयो भने उसले खतना गरिरहनु पर्दैन। 19 मानिस खतना गरिएको छ कि छैन त्यो कुनै मुख्य कुरो होइन। खास कुरो त परमेश्वरको आज्ञाको पालन गर्नु हो। 20 प्रत्येक मानिस त्यही अवस्थामा बसोस् जुन अवस्थामा उसलाई परमेश्वरबाट बोलाइयो। 21 परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई बोलाउँदा तिमी कमारा थियौ भने त्यसको परवाह नगर। तर तिमी मुक्त हुन सक्छौ भने तिमीलाई दिएको मौकाको प्रयोग गर। 22 परमेश्वरले बोलाउँदा कुनै मानिस कमारा थियो भने ऊ प्रभुमा मुक्त हुन्छ अनि ऊ प्रभुको हुन्छ। उसरी नै परमेश्वरले बोलाउँदा यदि ऊ मुक्त थियो भने ऊ ख्रीष्टमा कमारा हुन्छ। 23 तिमीहरू मूल्य चुकाएर किनिएकाहरू हौ। त्यसैले मानिसका कमारा नबन। 24 दाज्यू-भाइ, दिदी-बहिनीहरू हो! अब परमेश्वरसितको नयाँ जीवनमा, तिमीहरू परमेश्वरद्वारा बोलाउनुहुँदा जुन अवस्थामा थियौ त्यही अवस्थामा रहनु पर्छ।
विवाह बारेको प्रश्नहरू
25 अब म अविवाहितहरूको विषयमा लेख्छु। यस बारे मलाई प्रभुबाट आज्ञा छैन, तथापि म आफ्नो विचार पोख्छु। मलाई विश्वास गर्न सक्छौ किन कि प्रभुले मलाई दया गर्नु भएको छ। 26 त्यो दुःखको घडी हो। यसैले म सोच्छु तिमीहरू जुन अवस्थामा छौ त्यही अवस्थामा बस्नु राम्रो हो। 27 तिमीहरूको पत्नी छ भने उबाट अलग हुने चेष्टा नगर। यदि तिम्रो विवाह विच्छेद भएको भए, पुर्नविवाह पट्टि नलाग। तिमीहरू अविवाहित भए पत्नी खोज्ने चेष्टा तर्फ नलाग 28 तर तिमीले विवाह गरे त्यो कुनै पाप होइन। अनि कन्या केटीले विवाह गर्छ भने त्यो पाप होइन। तर विवाह गर्नेहरूले जीवनमा दुःखै पाउँछन् अनि म चाहन्छु कि तिमीहरू त्यस्तो कठिनाईहरूबाट मुक्त रहो।
29 दाज्यू-भाइ, दिदी-बहिनीहरू हो! मेरो भन्नुको तात्पर्यः हाम्रो लागि समय छोटो छ। जस-जसको पत्नीहरू छन्, पत्नी नहुनेहरू झैं बस। 30 जो दुःखीत छन् तिनीहरू दुःख नपाएको जस्तै बसुन्। जो हर्षित छन् तिनीहरू हर्ष नभएको जस्तै बसुन् किनमेल गर्नेहरू तिनीहरू केही नभएको जस्तै बसुन्। 31 जो संसारिक वस्तु व्यवहार गर्छन्, तिनीहरू ती वस्तुहरूमा चासो नभए झैं गरी बसुन्। तिमीहरू यसरी नै बस्नु पर्छ किन कि यो संसार, जुन अवस्थामा अहिले छ, चाँडै बितेर जाने छ।
32 तिमीहरू चिन्ताबाट मुक्त होऊ भन्ने म चाहन्छु। एक अविवाहित मानिस प्रभुको काममा पूर्णरूपले मग्न रहन्छ। उसको उदेश्य नै प्रभुलाई खुशी तुल्याउनु हो। 33 तर विवाहित मानिस सांसारिक वस्तुसँग सम्बन्धित हुन्छ। उसको लक्ष्य आफ्नी पत्नीलाई खुशी पार्नु हुन्छ। 34 उसको ध्यान दुइवटा लक्ष्य तिर छुटिन्छ। एउटी अविवाहित स्त्री अथवा एउटी कन्या प्रभुको सम्बन्धमा व्यस्त रहन्छे। ऊ आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण शरीर र आत्मा प्रभुलाई अर्पण गर्न चाहन्छे। तर विवाहित स्त्री सांसारिक कुराहरूमै सम्बन्धित रहन्छे। उसको प्राथमिक कर्त्तव्य आफ्नो पतिलाई खुशी पार्नु रहन्छ। 35 तिमीहरूकै भलाईको निम्ति म यी कुराहरू गर्दैछु। मैले तिमीहरूलाई नियन्त्रण गर्न खोजेको होइन। तर तिमीहरू ठीक ढङ्गले बाँच्न सक भन्ने म चाहन्छु। अनि आफ्नो समय अरू कुराहरूतिरबाट मुक्त गराई पूर्णतया प्रभुमा लगाएको मन पराँउछु।
36 विवाहको उमेर ढल्किन लागेकी आफ्नी कन्या प्रति मैले ठीक गरेको छैनँ भनी कसैले सोंच्न सक्ला र विवाह गरिदिनै पर्छ भन्ने सम्झानु सक्ला। त्यस अवस्थामा उसले जे चाहन्छ गरोस्। तिनीहरूलाई विवाह गर्न दिइयोस्। त्यो पाप होइन। 37 तर कोही यस्तो बलियो मनको पनि हुन सक्ला र सोच्ला विवाहको कुनै आवश्यकता छैन, ऊ पनि आफ्नो इच्छामा स्वतन्त्रै छ। यदि त्यस मानिसले आफ्नी कन्यालाई अविवाहित राख्ने निश्चय गरेको छ भने उसले ठीक गर्दैछ। 38 अर्थात् जसले आफ्नो कन्याको विवाह गर्छ उसले राम्रो गर्छ। र जसले आफ्नो कन्याको विवाह गरिदिंदैन उसले अझै राम्रो गर्छ।
39 जब सम्म पति जीवित रहन्छ उसकी स्त्री बन्धनमा रहन्छे। तर पति मर्यो भने, त्यस स्त्रीले आफूले रूचाएको मानिससित विवाह गर्न सक्छे। तर उसले प्रभुमा विवाह गर्नु पर्छ। 40 यदि ऊ त्यही अवस्थामा बसे अझ सुखी रहनेथिई। यो म जस्तो विचार गर्छु अनि म पक्का विश्वास गर्छु कि पमेश्वरको आत्मा ममा छ।
1 Corinthians 7
New International Version
Concerning Married Life
7 Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”(A) 2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife,(B) and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time,(C) so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan(D) will not tempt you(E) because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.(F) 7 I wish that all of you were as I am.(G) But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.(H)
8 Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.(I) 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry,(J) for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.(K) 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband.(L) And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord):(M) If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.(N)
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.(O) 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save(P) your husband?(Q) Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Concerning Change of Status
17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.(R) This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.(S) 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised.(T) 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing.(U) Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 20 Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.(V)
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person;(W) similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.(X) 23 You were bought at a price;(Y) do not become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.(Z)
Concerning the Unmarried
25 Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord,(AA) but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy(AB) is trustworthy. 26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.(AC) 27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife.(AD) 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned;(AE) and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29 What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short.(AF) From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; 30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.(AG)
32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs(AH)—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit.(AI) But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided(AJ) devotion to the Lord.
36 If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong[b] and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning.(AK) They should get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who marries the virgin does right,(AL) but he who does not marry her does better.[c]
39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives.(AM) But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.(AN) 40 In my judgment,(AO) she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
Notas al pie
- 1 Corinthians 7:8 Or widowers
- 1 Corinthians 7:36 Or if she is getting beyond the usual age for marriage
- 1 Corinthians 7:38 Or 36 If anyone thinks he is not treating his daughter properly, and if she is getting along in years (or if her passions are too strong), and he feels she ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. He should let her get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind to keep the virgin unmarried—this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who gives his virgin in marriage does right, but he who does not give her in marriage does better.
