1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not ye my work in [the] Lord?
ma man ki ceerka ka/ ma kebo nii tomange? Ma to bo Yesu Teluwe ba? Kom kerangbo nangen kaner Tee kwama nina?
2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet at any rate I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in [the] Lord.
No ma kebo nii tomange tangaum nobebo nin di, min co kumen. Wori kom warke nangen tomanger miro Tee kwama nin.
3 My defence to those who examine me is this:
Wo co kwicank miko nubo buro cuwaye tiye nin.
4 Have we not a right to eat and to drink?
Ba manki ceerka bi ca bi noo ka?
5 have we not a right to take round a sister [as] wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
Bi mani ki ceerka na tuu dor bero nin natubo ne bilenke kambo tangnum nob tomangebo kange yitub Tee kwama, kange kefas ca?
6 Or I alone and Barnabas, have we not a right not to work?
Kaka ka Barnabas kange mo wo manki bikwan neret naci mare nangen na?
7 Who ever carries on war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? or who herds a flock and does not eat of the milk of the flock?
We yilam nii kwene ki kemercer bila ce? we co tola bi tuttuiri cabo bi tutti yo more ce? kaka we yuwa bicir di nobo yir cere?
8 Do I speak these things as a man, or does not the law also say these things?
ma tok dikeniti buro kibi kwan neret nii fira? Werfundo tok bo nyo kena?
9 For in the law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that is treading out corn. Is God occupied about the oxen,
Mulangum mulange mor werfun Musar “Kom dok tende Muzzle nyi nenner ki kwama wo ci fuwa range cam tiyeu.” La nenne kibi com kwama tok ker to dorcere?
10 or does he say [it] altogether for our sakes? For for our sakes it has been written, that the plougher should plough in hope, and he that treads out corn, in hope of partaking of [it].
kebo dorber ci tok kera? ci mulangum kibo wori nii wo kaka tom tiye ki kaka ki yoka nererk, rila wo fuwarange cam tiyeu a fuwarangi ki yoka nererk can fiya wi.
11 If we have sown to you spiritual things, [is it a] great [thing] if we shall reap your carnal things?
No nyi fii diker yuwa tangbe more kume ri, la diker bwei bweiye, fiye nyi wiye na nyi fiya kwilen kumena?
12 If others partake of this right over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.
No kangem bo ca luma cerka kume ko wuro ri, nyi man ki wo laa wo ceu ka? kawo nyi mabo nangen ki ceerka kowuri la nyori nyim bim ner ki dikero gwam kange. wo nya bou tiki tii ka fulenYesu Almasiya.
13 Do ye not know that they who labour [at] sacred things eat of the [offerings offered in the] temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?
Kom nyombo komki nubo buro ma nangen do wucakketi mor bikur wabe reu ki fiya cari bikur wabe ra? ko nyom bo nubo ma wabe ti tancilan do wuccake ki fiya carito mor diker ci bouti cuko tancilando wuccaka?
14 So also the Lord has ordained to those that announce the glad tidings to live of the glad tidings.
La nyo tak Teluwe kwma tokke ki nubo buro tok fulen kerer cero tiyeu a fiya cari cero ki fulen kerero nin.
15 But I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for [it were] good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.
Dila ma mabo nangen ki ceerka kowo. Takeu ma mulang bo wuro ri nakom ma men diker dor cer. an lamen diker in bwiyam kange wo kange man wo a ywamye bitenan bo wo tiye?
16 For if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for it is woe to me if I should not announce the glad tidings.
wuri no mi tok fule kerero tiri, ma manki dikero a dok ye bitenam tiye, wori min mawo. A kwann ye no ma tok bo fulen kerer di.
17 For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with an administration.
La no mawuro ki cwika miik ri man wiki cuner. Dila no kebo ki cwika mik ri, duwal man wiki nangen do kwama neyereu dor mir.
18 What is the reward then that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless [to others], so as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my right in [announcing] the glad tidings.
Nye cuner miro? ri kambo ma tok fulen kere ri, matin ne nubo fulen kerero ki luma nerek kebo ki kemer nyori mani ma manengen ti ki ceerka mor fulen kereo nineu.
19 For being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most [possible].
Bwenno min fiya ceerka fiye gwammeu, min yilam canga nubo gwamme ri, nami fiyau ten kangem nubo.
20 And I became to the Jews as a Jew, in order that I might gain the Jews: to those under law, as under law, not being myself under law, in order that I might gain those under law:
Fiye Yahudawa wiyeu, min yilam nii Yahudawa na min fiya ciya ka Yahudawa wak gwam. Ki nubo bolangko ma liyar ceer tiyeu min yilam na ni bolang ma liyar ceertiye nami fiya ciyaka nub bolange.
21 to those without law, as without law, (not as without law to God, but as legitimately subject to Christ, ) in order that I might gain [those] without law.
Ki nubo mani mor liyar bolanger reu, min yilam na ni wo mani mor liyar bolangere. bwenno ba cer bo mor bolang kwamak miki bwimiyeu, dila miki no mor bolang Almasiya. Mi ma wuro nami fiya liyarka nubo mani mor bolangekeu.
22 I became to the weak, [as] weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some.
Ki nubo wo kwamang beu, min yilam mi manki bikwan nami fiya ciyaka nubo kwamang beu. min yilam dikeni buro gwam ri bwenno a manyi ri, matin ceer kangembo.
23 And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them.
Kom nyombo cwaka cwokek.
24 Know ye not that they who run in [the] race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.
Nubo cwatiyeu ki cwa gwamce, dila nii wi ki yore nan cwake ra? cwa namwi cam nando.
25 But every one that contends [for a prize] is temperate in all things: they then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
Nii lore ki merang taka dorek mor dikero gwam. cii ki ma nyo naci fiya nando kayati kayau, dila beu biki mani nabi yo wuro mani kaya reu.
26 I therefore thus run, as not uncertainly; so I combat, as not beating the air.
Wo co kando mi cwam tiyeu. kebo na nii wo cwacwak ti koniyeu. Won co kambo ma kwam kang tiye kebo na ni wokwa yuwatiye.
27 But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest [after] having preached to others I should be myself rejected.
La man dok bwimiu yilam canga, ri kati yilo kambo mi yi kangembo fulen keredi, ki bwiri ci cokum ye.
