1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
Nisem apostelj? nisem svoboden? nisem li Jezusa Kristusa Gospoda našega videl? niste li vi moje delo v Gospodu?
2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
Če drugim nisem apostelj, ali vam sem, kajti pečat mojega aposteljstva ste vi v Gospodu.
3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
Moje zagovarjanje tem, kteri me sodijo, je to:
4 Have we not right to eat and to drink?
Jeli nimamo oblasti jesti in piti?
5 Have we not right to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
Jeli nimamo oblasti sestro ženo s seboj voditi, kakor tudi drugi aposteljni in bratje Gospodovi in Kefa?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we right to forbear working?
Ali sam jaz in Barnaba nimava oblasti to delati?
7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
Kdo služi za vojnika na lastne stroške kdaj? kdo sadi vinograd in od njegovega sada ne jé? ali kdo pase čredo in od mleka črede ne jé?
8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
Jeli po človeku to govorim? ne govori li to tudi postava?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the grain. Doth God take care for oxen?
Kajti v Mojzesovej postavi je pisano: "Ne zaveži gobca mlatečemu volu." Jeli Bog skrbi za vole?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
Govori li vsakakor za nas? Dà, za voljo nas je pisano: "Z upanjem mora orati, kdor orje, in kdor mlati, od upanja svojega del imeti z upanjem."
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
Če smo vam mi duhovno posejali, veliko li je, če bomo mi vaše meseno želi?
12 If others be partakers of this authority over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this authority; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
Če imajo drugi del te vaše oblasti, čemu ne s tem bolje mi? Ali nismo se poslužili te oblasti, nego vse prenašamo, da kakošne ovire ne damo evangelju Kristusovemu.
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
Ne veste, da ti, kteri opravljajo sveto službo, od svetinje jedó, kteri služijo oltarju, da se z oltarjem delé?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
Tako je tudi Gospod naredil, da ti, kteri oznanjujejo evangelj, od evangelja žive.
15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
Jaz pa ničesar tega nisem upotrebil in nisem napisal tega, da bi se tako zgodilo z menoj, kajti rajši umrem, nego da mi kdo mojo slavo uniči.
16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
Ker če oznanjam evangelj, ni mi se hvaliti, ker mi je to treba, a gorjé mi, če evangelja ne oznanjam.
17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
Kajti če iz dobre volje to delam, plačo imam; če pa po sili, oskrbništvo mi je zaupano.
18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my authority in the gospel.
Kaj je torej moja plača? da oznanjujoč evangelj zastonj dam evangelj Kristusov, da bi hudo ne upotrebil svoje oblasti v evangelji.
19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
Kajti ko sem bil svoboden od vseh, storil sem se suženj vseh, da bi jih več pridobil.
20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
In bil sem Judom kakor Jud, da bi Jude pridobil; a tem, kteri so bili pod postavo, kakor pod postavo, da bi pridobil te, kteri so bili pod postavo.
21 To them that are without law, as without law, ( being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ, ) that I might gain them that are without law.
Tistim pa, kteri so bili brez postave, kakor da bi bil brez postave, (dasi ravno ne brez postave Bogu, nego v postavi Kristusu, ) da bi pridobil tiste, kteri so bili brez postave.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
Bil sem slabim kakor slab, da bi pridobil slabe. Vsem sem bil vse, da bi vsakakor neke zveličal.
23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
To pa delam za voljo evangelja, da bi del od njega prejel.
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Ne veste, da tisti, kteri na tekališči tekó, vsi tekó, a eden prejema darilo? Tako tecite, da bi prejeli.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
Vsak pa, kteri se bori, zdržuje se od vsega: oni torej, da dobé strohljiv venec, a mi nestrohljiv.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
Jaz torej tako tečem, ne kakor na negotovo; tako se borim, ne kakor bi po zraku mahal.
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Nego tarem svoje telo in usužnjujem, da ne bi kako drugim oznanjevavši sam zavržljiv bil.
