1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are ye not my work in the Lord?
Mar nisem apostol? Ali nisem svoboden? Mar nisem videl Jezusa Kristusa, našega Gospoda? Mar niste vi moje delo v Gospodu?
2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet at least I am to you, for ye are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
Če nisem apostol drugim, sem pa nedvomno vam; kajti vi ste pečat mojega apostolstva v Gospodu.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this.
Moj odgovor tem, ki me zaslišujejo, je ta:
4 Have we no, not a right to eat and to drink?
›Ali nimamo pravice jesti in piti?
5 Have we no, not a right to lead about a sister wife, as also the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
Ali nimamo pravice okrog voditi sestro, ženo, prav tako kakor drugi apostoli in kakor Gospodovi bratje ter Kefa?
6 Or have only I and Barnabas no right not to be occupied earning a living?
Ali se samo jaz in Barnaba nimava pravice zadržati pred delom?
7 Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock?
Kdo se kadarkoli gre vojskovanje na svoje lastne stroške? Kdo zasaja vinograd, pa ne jé od sadov le-tega? Ali kdo pase trop, pa ne jé mleka od tropa?
8 Do I say these things according to man, or does not the law also say these things?
Ali govorim te besede kakor človek? Ali ne govori istega tudi postava?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses thou shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain. Is God concerned about oxen,
Kajti v Mojzesovi postavi je pisano: ›Ne boš zavezal gobca volu, ki mane žito.‹ Ali Bog skrbi za vole?
10 or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share.
Ali govori to predvsem zaradi nas? Zaradi nas, brez dvoma, tako je pisano; da naj bi tisti, ki orje, oral v upanju; in da bi bil tisti, ki mlati v upanju soudeleženec njegovega upanja.
11 If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things?
Če smo vam sejali duhovne stvari, ali je velika stvar, če bomo želi vaše mesene stvari?
12 If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good news of the Christ.
Če so drugi udeleženci te pravice nad vami, ali nismo tem bolj mi? Pa vendar te pravice nismo uporabili, temveč vse stvari prenašamo, da ne bi ovirali Kristusovega evangelija.
13 Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar?
Ali ne veste, da tisti, ki služijo pri svetih stvareh, živijo od tempeljskih stvari? In da so tisti, ki prisostvujejo pri oltarju, udeleženci z oltarjem?
14 And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good news to live from the good news.
Točno tako je Gospod odredil, da naj tisti, ki oznanjajo evangelij, živijo od evangelija.
15 But I have used none of these things, and I did not write these things so that it should be done to me this way. For it is good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my boasting empty.
Toda sam nisem uporabil nobene od teh stvari niti nisem napisal teh stvari, da naj bi se mi tako zgodilo. Kajti zame bi bilo bolje, da umrem, kakor da bi katerikoli človek onemogočil moje ponašanje.
16 For if I preach the good news, it is not a source of pride for me, for an obligation is laid upon me. And woe is to me if I do not preach the good news.
Kajti čeprav oznanjam evangelij, se nimam s čim ponašati, ker je name položena nuja; da, gorje meni, če ne oznanjam evangelija!
17 For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission.
Kajti če to stvar počnem voljno, imam nagrado. Toda če proti svoji volji, mi je bilo zaupano razdeljevanje evangelija.
18 What then is my reward? That, while preaching the good news, I may make the good news of the Christ without charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the good news.
Kaj je potem moja nagrada? Resnično, da kadar oznanjam evangelij, smem narediti Kristusov evangelij brezplačen, da ne bi izkoriščal svoje pravice v evangeliju.
19 For although being free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that I might gain the more.
Kajti čeprav sem osvobojen vseh ljudi, sem vendar sebe naredil služabnika vsem, da bi jih lahko več pridobil.
20 And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews, to those under law, as under law, so that I might gain those under law,
In Judom sem postal kakor Jud, da bi lahko pridobil Jude; tem, ki so pod postavo, kakor pod postavo, da bi lahko pridobil te, ki so pod postavo;
21 to those without law, as without law (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ), so that I might gain men without law.
tem, ki so brez postave, kakor brez postave (ne brez postave Bogu, temveč pod Kristusovo postavo), da bi lahko pridobil te, ki so brez postave.
22 To the weak I became as weak, so that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that by all means I might save some.
Slabotnim sem postal kakor slaboten, da lahko pridobim slabotne. Storil sem vse stvari vsem ljudem, da bi jih vsekakor nekaj rešil.
23 And I do this for sake of the good news, so that I might become a fellow participant of it.
In to počnem zaradi evangelija, da bom lahko z vami udeleženec le-tega.
24 Know ye not that those who run in an arena, indeed all run, but one receives the prize? So run that ye may seize it.
Mar ne veste, da tisti, ki tečejo na tekmi, vsi tečejo, toda eden prejme nagrado? Tako tecite, da jo lahko dosežete.
25 And every man who strives for mastery exercises self-control in all things. Indeed therefore those men do it so that they might obtain a perishable crown, but we an imperishable.
Vsak pa, ki si prizadeva za nagrado, je zmeren v vseh stvareh. Torej oni to počno, da dosežejo ovenljiv venec; toda mi neovenljivega.
26 I therefore run this way, not as aimlessly. I fight this way, not as flaying air.
Zatorej tako tečem, ne kakor negotovo; tako se borim, ne kakor nekdo, ki tolče zrak;
27 But I give my body a black eye and subdue it, lest somehow having preached to others, I myself might become disqualified.
temveč potlačim svoje telo in ga privedem v podložnost, da ne bi bil na kakršenkoli način, ko sem oznanjal drugim, sam bil zavržen.‹
