1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? am I not an Apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are you not my work in the Lord?
A OLE anei au he lunaolelo? Aole anei au ho kanaka kuokoa? Aole anei au i ike ia Iesu Kristo, i ko kakou Haku? Aole anei oukou ka'u i hana maloko o ka Haku?
2 If to others I am not an Apostle, at least I am one to you: for the fact that you are Christians is the sign that I am an Apostle.
Ina aole au he lunaolelo ia hai, he oiaio no, ia oukou no; no ka mea, o oukou no ka hoailona o ka'u lunaolelo ana maloko o ka Haku.
3 My answer to those who are judging me is this.
Eia ka'u olelo i ka poe hoohewa mai ia'u.
4 Have we no right to take food and drink?
Aole anei e pono ia makou ke ai a me ka inu?
5 Have we no right to take about with us a Christian wife, like the rest of the Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
Aole anei e pono ia makou, ke kono mai i kaikuwahine, a i wahine na makou, e like me kekahi o na lunaolelo, a me na kaikuaana o ka Haku, a me Kepa?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work?
O maua wale no a me Barenaba, aole anei e hiki ia maua ke hooki i ka hana?
7 Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?
Owai ka mea hele i ke kaua me ka uku ole ia mai? Owai ka mea kanu i ka malawaina, a ai ole i kona hua? Owai hoi ka i hanai i na holoholona, a ai ole i ka waiu o na holoholona?
8 Am I talking as a man? does not the law say the same?
He olelo kanaka anei keia mea a'u e olelo nei? Aole anei i olelo mai ke kanawai i keia mau mea?
9 For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?
No ka mea, ua palapalaia mai ma ke kanawai o Mose, Mai hoopani i ka waha o ka bipi nana e hehi i ka palaoa. Ke malama nei anei ke Akua i na bipi?
10 Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.
Ke olelo mai nei anei oia ia mea no kakou wale no? Ua palapalaia no kakou no, i lana ai ka manao o ka mea mahiai i kona mahi ai ana; a o ka mea hoiliili me ka manaolana e loaa ia ia ka mea i lana ai kona manao.
11 If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?
Ina makou i lulu aku i ko ka Uhane maluna o oukou, he mea nui anei ke hoiliili makou i ko oukou mea na ke kino?
12 If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.
Ina i loaa keia pono maluna o oukou na kekahi poe e, aole anei he oiaio, na makou kekahi? Aole nae makou i lawe i keia pono; ua hoomanawanui no makou i na mea a pau, o keakeaia ka euanelio a Kristo ia makou.
13 Do you not see that the servants of the holy things get their living from the Temple, and the servants of the altar have their part in the food which is offered on the altar?
Aole anei oukou i ike i ka poe hana ma na mea laa, ua ai lakou i na mea laa? a me ka poe lawelawe ma ke kuahu, ua ai lakou i ko ko kuahu?
14 Even so did the Lord give orders that the preachers of the good news might get their living from the good news.
Pela no hoi i kauoha mai ai ka Haku, o ka poe hai aku i ka euanelio, e ola no lakou ma ka euanelio.
15 But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.
Aole hoi au i lawe i kekahi o keia mau mea; aole hoi au i palapala aku i keia, i hanaia mai ia'u pela; no ka mea, he mea maikai ia'u ka make, he mea ino ke hoonele mai kekahi ia'u i keia kaena ana.
16 For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.
A ina i hai aku au i ka euanelio, aole i loaa ia'u ka mea e kaena ai; no ka mea, ua kauia mai keia hana maluna o'u; auwe hoi au, ke hai ole aku au i ka euanelio.
17 But if I do it gladly, I have a reward; and if not, I am under orders to do it.
A ina e hana au i keia mea me ka makemake, ua loaa ia'u ka uku; aka, ina me ka makemake ole, ua haawiia mai he oihana na'u.
18 What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.
Heaha hoi ka'u e ukuia mai? Eia, i ka'u ao ana aku, hai aku no au i ka euanelio a Kristo me ka uku ole ia mai, o lawe hewa au i ka'u pono ma ka euanelio.
19 For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.
He kanaka kuokoa an, aka hoi, na hookauwa aka no wau na na kanaka a pau, i loaa nui mai lakou ia'u.
20 And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.
A iwaena au o na Iudaio, ua like au me ka Iudaio, i loaa'i ia'u na Iudaio: a iwaena au o ka poe ma ke kanawai, ma ke kanawai hoi au, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe ma ke kanawai.
21 To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.
A iwaena au o ka poe kanawai ole, na like hoi au me ka mea kanawai ole, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe ka nawai ole. (Aole hoi au i haalele i ko ke Akua kanawai, ma ke kanawai o Kristo waa.)
22 To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.
Iwaena au o ka poe makau wale, ua like me ka mea makau wale hoi wau, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe makau wale Iwaena o na kanaka a pau, lilo ae la au i na mea a pau, i ola io ai kekahi ia'u.
23 And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.
Ke hana nei no hoi au i keia, no ka euanelio, i loaa pu ai ia'a ko laila hope.
24 Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.
Aole anei oukou i ike i ka poe kukini, holo no lakou a pau, aka, hookahi wale no e loaa ka uku? Ma ka loaa oukou e kukini ai.
25 And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.
O ka poe a pau i hooikaika i ka uku, ua pakiko no lakou ma na mea a pau. Ma ka lei mae wale lakou; aka, ma ka lei mae ole kakou.
26 So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air:
No ia mea, ke holo nei au me ke kulanalana ole; ke mokomoko nei au, aole hoi e like me ka mea e mokomoko ana i ka makani.
27 But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.
Ke uumi nei au i kuu kino a lanakila maluna iho, o lilo paha wau i ke apono ole ia, mahope o kuu ao ana aku ia hai.
