1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? haue I not seene Iesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my worke in the Lord?
Taani yeda de7iya asi gidikkinaa? Ta hawaare gidikkinaa? Taani nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa be7abiikkina? Hintte Godan ta daabura ayfe gidekketii?
2 If I be not an Apostle vnto other, yet doutlesse I am vnto you: for ye are the seale of mine Apostleship in the Lord.
Hintte Godaaba gidiya gisho ta haratas hawaare gidonna ixxikokka, hinttew hawaare gideyssas hintte markka.
3 My defence to them that examine mee, is this,
Tana hawaare gidenna geyssatas ta immiya zaaroy hayssa.
4 Haue we not power to eat and to drinke?
Nu hinttefe maanawunne uyanaw tuma nuus maati baawe?
5 Or haue we not power to lead about a wife being a sister, as well as the rest of the Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
Hankko hawaaretada, Godaa ishatadanne Phexiroosada, ammaniyaa nu machcheta ekki hamuttanaw nuus maati baawe?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, haue not we power not to worke?
Woykko oothidi maanaw bessey taaranne Barnnabaasa xalaalee?
7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his owne coste? who planteth a vineyarde, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flocke, and eateth not of the milke of the flocke?
Ba miishen wotaaddaretathi oothey oonee? Woykko woyne tokkidi, iya ayfe moonnay oonee? Woykko wude heemmishe, he wudiyappe maathi uyonnay oonee?
8 Say I these thinges according to man? saith not the Lawe the same also?
Taani hessa asa qofatho gaynayye? Higgey qassi hessa geenne?
9 For it is written in the Lawe of Moses, Thou shalt not mussell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne: doeth God take care for oxen?
Muse Higgiyan, “Wudumman kathaa yedhdhiya booraa doona qachchofa” geetettidi xaafettis. Yaatin Xoossay hessa booras qoppidi gidee?
10 Either saith hee it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes no doubt it is written, that he which eareth, should eare in hope, and that he that thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope.
Xoossay hessa giday nuus qoppidi gidennee? Ee nu gishossa. Goyeysika, kathaa geeshsheysika bana gakkeyssa ekkana gidi ufayssan oothanaw bessees geetettidi tuma nu gisho xaafettis.
11 If wee haue sowen vnto you spirituall thinges, is it a great thing if we reape your carnall thinges?
Nuuni hintte giddon ayyaana zerethi zerida gidikko ashos koshshiyabaa nu hinttefe ekkiko, hessi gitabaye?
12 If others with you bee partakers of this power, are not we rather? neuerthelesse, we haue not vsed this power: but suffer all things, that we should not hinder the Gospel of Christ.
Harati hessa hinttefe ekkanaw enttaw maati de7ikko, nuus enttayssafe aadhdhiya maati de7ees. Shin nuuni Kiristtoosa Wonggelaas dhube gidonna mela, ubbaa genccoosippe attin he maatan go7ettibookko.
13 Doe ye not knowe, that they which minister about the holy things, eate of the things of the Temple? and they which waite at the altar, are partakers with the altar?
Xoossaa keethan oothiya asati bantta kathaa Xoossa Keethafe ekkeyssa erekketii? Qassi yarshsho bessan ootheyssati yarshshuwafe ekkeyssa erekketii?
14 So also hath the Lord ordeined, that they which preach ye Gospel, should liue of the Gospel.
Hessadakka, Wonggelaa markkatteyssati duussas koshshiyabaa Wonggelaappe ekkana mela Goday kiittis.
15 But I haue vsed none of these things: neither wrote I these things, that it should be so done vnto me: for it were better for me to die, then that any man should make my reioycing vaine.
Shin taani ha maata ubban aykkoka go7ettabiikke. Taani hessa xaafiday ta maata bonchchisanaw koyada gidenna. Oonikka ta ceequwa hada oothanayssafe hayqoy taw lo77o.
16 For though I preach the Gospel, I haue nothing to reioyce of: for necessitie is laid vpon me, and woe is vnto me, if I preach not the Gospel.
Taani Wonggelaa odey kiitettida gishossafe attin tana ceeqisiyabaa gidenna. Wonggelaa odonna ixxiko, tana ayye.
17 For if I do it willingly, I haue a reward, but if I do it against my will, notwithstanding the dispensation is committed vnto me.
Taani Wonggelaa dosada sabbakikko taw woytoy de7ees. Shin taani Wonggelaa dosonna kiitettada sabbakiyabaa gidikko hessa Xoossay taw hadara immis.
18 What is my reward then? verely that when I preach the Gospel, I make the Gospel of Christ free, that I abuse not mine authoritie in ye Gospel.
Yaatin, ta woytoy aybee? Taani Wonggelaa sabbakiya wode ta maatan go7ettonna Wonggelaa coo sabbakeyssi taw woyto.
19 For though I bee free from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruant vnto all men, that I might winne the moe.
Taani oodeskka aylle gidikke, shin darota ashshanaw ubbaas aylle gidas.
20 And vnto the Iewes, I become as a Iewe, that I may winne the Iewes: to them that are vnder the Lawe, as though I were vnder the Lawe, that I may winne them that are vnder the Lawe:
Taani Ayhudeta ashshanaw enttara entta gidas. Ta huu7en higgefe garssan de7ikke, shin higgefe garssan de7eyssata ashshanaw higgefe garssan de7iya asi gidas.
21 To them that are without Lawe, as though I were without Lawe, (when I am not without Lawe as pertaining to God, but am in the Lawe through Christ) that I may winne them that are without Lawe:
Xoossaa higgiyafe kare keyonna, Kiristtoosa higgiyas kiitettashe, higgey baynnayssata ashshanaw higgey baynna asada gidas.
22 To the weake I become as weake, that I may winne the weake: I am made all thinges to all men, that I might by all meanes saue some.
Taani daaburanchchota ashshanaw daaburanchcho gidas. Taani guuthata ashshanaw ubbaara ubbaa hanas.
23 And this I doe for the Gospels sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
Taani Wonggelaa anjjuwaa shaakettanaw, ha ubbaa Wonggelaa gisho, hanas.
24 Knowe ye not, that they which runne in a race, runne all, yet one receiueth the price? so runne that ye may obtaine.
Wothan gaaddetiya ubbay woxxees, shin issuwa xalaali woyto ekkeyssa erekketii? Hessada hintteka woytuwa ekkanaw woxxite.
25 And euery man that proueth masteries, abstaineth from all things: and they do it to obtaine a corruptible crowne: but we for an vncorruptible.
Gaaddetiya asa ubbay ubbaban banttana haarees. Entti hessa daaburey dhayiya kallachcha woyto ekkanaassa. Shin nuuni daaburey merinaa kallachcha woytuwa ekkanaassa.
26 I therefore so runne, not as vncertainely: so fight I, not as one that beateth the ayre.
Hessa gisho, taani qofi baynna asada woxxike. Carkko yimppiya asada coo kushe yeddike.
27 But I beate downe my body, and bring it into subiection, lest by any meanes after that I haue preached to other, I my selfe should be reproued.
Shin taani haratas Wonggelaa sabbakidaappe guye ta huu7en yeggettida asi gidonna mela ta asatethaa wolqqan haarada taw kiitettana mela oothays.
