1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? Am I not an Apostle? Have I not seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
Ei ining tamba mi ama nattra? Ei pakhonchatpa ama nattra? Eina eikhoigi Ibungo Jisu Christtabu ukhraba nattra? Aduga nakhoi eina Ibungogidamak sujaba eigi thabakki mahei nattra?
2 And if I am not an Apostle to others, yet still I am to you. For you are the seal of my Apostleship in the Lord.
Atoppasingna eibu pakhonchatpa ama oina loubidrabasu nakhoigi naphamdadi tasengnamak oijari. Maramdi nakhoigi punsina Ibungoga amata oiminnaba adugi maramna nakhoi nasamakna eihak pakhonchatpa amani haiba achumba adugi khudam changdam oiri.
3 My defense with those who question me is this:
Misingna eibu chang yengba matamda kamdouna ei isana isabu ngakthokchabage haiba adu asini:
4 Do we not have the authority to eat and to drink?
Eigi thougalgidamak eina chanaba amadi thaknaba phangnabagi hak leitabra?
5 Do we not have the authority to travel around with a woman who is a sister, just as do the other Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
Atoppa pakhonchatpasing, Ibungogi manaosing amadi Peter-gumna thajabi loinabibu eikhoigi khongchatsingda eikhoina punnabagi hak leitabra?
6 Or is it only myself and Barnabas who do not have the authority to act in this way?
Aduga hingnabagidamak thabak sugadaba adu Barnabas-ka ei khaktagara?
7 Who has ever served as a soldier and paid his own stipend? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from its produce? Who pastures a flock and does not drink from the milk of the flock?
Kanana masagi sel puthokchaduna lanmi oina thabak tounabage? Anggur ingkhol koiraga masagi ingkhol adudagi mahei chadaba kana leibage? Yao sanggu loiraga madudagi sanggom thaktaba yaosenba kana leibage?
8 Am I saying these things according to man? Or does the law not also say these things?
Masi eina mioibagi oiba wakhallon adugi matung inna haiba khaktara? Wayel Yathangnasu masiga chap manana haiba nattabra?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses: “You shall not bind the mouth of an ox, while it is treading out the grain.” Is God here concerned with the oxen?
Maramdi Moses-ki Wayel Yathangda asumna iduna lei: “Nahakna sallabasingbu mahei marong nethahannaba sijinaringeida makhoigi machin punphade.” Masida Tengban Mapuna khanbiriba asi sallabasing asi khaktagira?
10 Or is he saying this, indeed, for our sake? These things were written specifically for us, because he who plows, ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes, too, in hope of receiving the produce.
Mahakna hairiba asi eikhoida haiba nattabra? Tasengnamak masi eikhoigi maramda ibani. Maramdi khoiriba adunasu aduga lokliba adunasu mahei adugi saruk phanggani haibagi ashada makhoina thabak tougadabani.
11 If we have sown spiritual things in you, is it important if we harvest from your worldly things?
Eikhoina nakhoigi narakta thawaigi oiba maru hullaga, hakchanggi oiba kannaba lokpa asi yamna henmallabra?
12 If others are sharers in this authority over you, why are we not more entitled? And yet we have not used this authority. Instead, we bear all things, lest we give any hindrance to the Gospel of Christ.
Atoppasingna nakhoidagi masi asha tounabagi hak leirabadi, eikhoinasu hak adu henna leipham thoktabra? Adum oinamak eikhoina asigumba hak asi sijinnade. Madugi mahutta Christtagi Aphaba Pao-da apanba thoktanaba eikhoina pumnamak khaangli.
13 Do you not know that those who work in the holy place eat the things that are for the holy place, and that those who serve at the altar also share with the altar?
Mapugi Sanglenda thougal touriba makhoina Mapugi Sanglendagi chananaba phangjei haibadu nakhoi khangdabra? Aduga iratpungda thougal touriba makhoina latnapungda katlakliba iratpot adugi saruk phangminei haibadu nakhoi khangdabra?
14 So, too, has the Lord ordained that those who announce the Gospel should live by the Gospel.
Matou adugumna Aphaba Pao sandokpa makhoising aduna madugi mapanna hinggadabani haina Ibungona yathang pire.
15 Yet I have used none of these things. And I have not written so that these things may be done for me. For it is better for me to die, rather than to let anyone empty out my glory.
Adubu haksing asidagi hak amata eina sijinnade. Aduga asumna nakhoina iphamda touhannabagi ashada eina masi ikhibasu natte. Maramdi eigi chaothokchaba asibu kanagumbana karisu nattaba oihallabadi eigidamak sikhibana henna phei.
16 For if I preach the Gospel, it is not glory for me. For an obligation has been laid upon me. And woe to me, if I do not preach the Gospel.
Adum oinamak eina Aphaba Pao sandokpa matamda eina chaothokpa ngamjade, maramdi madu eina sandoktaba yadabani. Aduga Aphaba Pao adu eina sandoktrabadi ei awabanida!
17 For if I do this willingly, I have a reward. But if I do this reluctantly, a dispensation is granted to me.
Karigumba Aphaba Pao adu eina sandokningna sandoklabadi eigi mana lei. Adubu sandokningna sandoktrabasu Tengban Mapuna eingonda thabak asi sinnabagi maramna madu eina ithou ama oina touribani.
18 And what, then, would be my reward? So, when preaching the Gospel, I should give the Gospel without taking, so that I may not misuse my authority in the Gospel.
Adu oirabadi eigi mana karino? Aphaba Paogi thabakkidamak eigi hak adu tandana amasung lemna Aphaba Pao sandokpa asimak eigi khudongchaba amani.
19 For when I was a free man to all, I made myself the servant of all, so that I might gain all the more.
Ei ining tamba mi amani, kanagisu minai natte; adumakpu eina ngamliba makhei misingbu Christtagi maphamda puraknanaba isana isabu mi pumnamakki minai oihanjare.
20 And so, to the Jews, I became like a Jew, so that I might gain the Jews.
Jihudisingbu Christtada purakpa yanabagidamak Jihudisinggi marakta ei Jihudisinggumna oire. Aduga ei isamak Moses-ki Wayel Yathanggi makha ponna leitrabasu Wayel Yathanggi makha ponna leiba makhoi adubu Christtada purakpa yanabagidamak eina makhoigumna Wayel Yathanggi makha ponba oire.
21 To those who are under the law, I became as if I were under the law, (though I was not under the law) so that I might gain those who were under the law. To those who were without the law, I became as if I were without the law, (though I was not without the law of God, being in the law of Christ) so that I might gain those who were without the law.
Maduga chap mannana Jihudigi Wayel Yathang makha pondaba atoppa phurupsing adubu Christtada purakpa yananabagidamak eina makhoigumna Wayel Yathanggi makha pondaba oire. Masimakna ei Tengban Mapugi Wayel Yathang adu inde haibadi natte; adubu ei Christtagi Wayel Yathanggi makha ponna leijari.
22 To the weak, I became weak, so that I might gain the weak. To all, I became all, so that I might save all.
Asonba makhoisinggi marakta, makhoibu Christtada purakpa yanabagidamak ei asonba amagumna oire. Asumna karigumba ngamjaba pambei amagi mapanna makhoi kharabu eina kanjanaba mi pumnamakki maphamda ei pumnamak oire.
23 And I do everything for the sake of the Gospel, so that I may become its partner.
Aduga eina Aphaba Paogi maramgidamak amadi madugi yaipha thoujal adu nakhoiga saruk phangminnanaba pumnamak asi toujabani.
24 Do you not know that, of those who run in a race, all of them, certainly, are runners, but only one achieves the prize. Similarly, you must run, so that you may achieve.
Lamjel tannabada lamjelloi pumnamakna chelli adubu amakhaktana mana phang-i haibadu nakhoi khangdabra? Adu oirabadi nakhoina mana adu phangnanaba chellu.
25 And one who competes in a contest abstains from all things. And they do this, of course, so that they may achieve a corruptible crown. But we do this, so that we may achieve what is incorruptible.
Sanaroi khudingmakna mangkhigadaba luhup adu phangnanabagidak pumnamakta masa khudum chanjanaba kanna sajel tou-i; adubu eikhoinadi mangba nairaroidaba luhup adu phangnanaba masi tou-i.
26 And so I run, but not with uncertainty. And so I fight, but not by flailing in the air.
Maram asina eina panthungpham khangdana chenba mi amagumna chende; aduga pandampham khangdana pangthinda thinba sanaroi amagumna lamba toude.
27 Instead, I chastise my body, so as to redirect it into servitude. Otherwise, I might preach to others, but become myself an outcast.
Adubu atoppa misingbu changyengnaba aduda yaonaba kouraga ei isamakna managidamak matik chadaba oidanaba eina eigi hakchangbu cheina phanghanduna kalhanjei amasung madubu mapungphana khudum chanjei.
