1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Yeshua our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
Ime mena son bi na? Ime mena wu whu Rji na? Ime mena to Yesu Irji mbu na? Ana biyi bi tindu ni me ni blater Rji na?
2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my office of apostle in the Lord.
Idan me na wu blater Rji nibari na u me bla niyiwu, Biyi bi Zame ndi kapyeme nime nitabatar ni ndumu ni bla ter Rji.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this.
Wayi yiter wa me Kle kpamu idan ndi ba tre nitu mu.
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
Kina hei yanci wa kiri ndi sou na?
5 Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Kipha?
Kina hei ni yanci wa ki ba vayi mbu iwah, na wa ibru bi tundu Baci, ni mir vayi ni ndu Rji naba Kefas na?
6 Or have only Bar-Naba and I no right to not work?
Biya kome ni Barnabas megye ki na hei ni iko u kambu ni ndu?
7 What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and does not eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and does not drink from the flock's milk?
Anha ni ti ndu soja ni tuma ki mu? Anha ni ron biri ni woma da na rhi iya ma na? wu nha ni ho lando dana so u imasesan mba na?
8 Do I say these things according to human authority? Or does not the Law also say the same thing?
Biya me tre tre yi ni gbegble ter ndi mu? Bina to di doka me tre tokina?
9 For it is written in the Law of Mushe, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." Is it for the oxen that God cares,
U ni doka Musa a tre di na yau takunkumi ni wa ni mla biri tei na. A hi jiji lando wandi Irji ni kwa ha?
10 or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in the hope of having a share.
Ana si tre ni tumbu, indi na? ba han ta wu ndi indi u yoh sor, anife indi wa ase tat take hiri, wa wumw du tei ni suron riri anife.
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
U kita cu wu ru haniya ni yiwu ani kpe rigra ma duta girbi kpibi wu kpah ni yi?
12 If others partake of this right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Meshikha.
Indan bari ba te yana yi ni yi, kina zan ba na? Ama ki na miye yanci kina kita de ki vu suron ni koga don ki na kpa tre Bishara Kristi ti meme na zuta tendu Bishara Yesu Almasihu.
13 Do you not know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?
Bina to biwa ba tindu ni mi tar Rji ba fe hla ni sau mba ni kiyi na? Biwa basi tindu ni tra Rji ba hai ni rabo mba ni kpi biwa ba rhi ni myi hai kalin.
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
Ana kiwi Rji tre bi tendu ni terma Bishara bari da sau ni tunko bishara.
15 But I have used none of these things, and I do not write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.
Ama ime mina miye yanci ri me na me na nah du ba ti kep ni muna; croma du me kwuu ni du indi hana ni me ni bubu grie ni tu kpe u bi yi.
16 For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, because I am compelled to do this. Woe to me if I do not preach the Good News.
Indan me bla tre bishara me ha hei ni kpe wu wurwo ni suron na a hei nimu hello du me ti ndu ki. Ani meme ni idan me na bla tre Bishara
17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.
Meta tei wayi ni suron mu riri, me kpa kpe wa Irji a zinimu u bima. Ama hle ta na ti ni suron riri na. u me rhi he ni nauwaya nitu mu.
18 What then is my reward? That, when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
Wagye a rabo mu? U meta bla tre Rji me ya ni no Bishara nina kpa gbe wa a hi yancu mu ni ti bishara na.
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
Ko da ike iwo mu na sa kpe na mi kati grah ni ndi don mi ndi gbron gbuglu wu ye ni Rji.
20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;
Ni Yahudawa, me k'mati bayabude, don ndi gbi yahuda. Ni bi wa ba hei ni zha bi blah ter, do kpa me, mi hei ni mi mba meni gbi wa ba hei ni zha bi blah tre me ti na ki ko da shike mi na hei ni bi blah tre na.
21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Meshikha), that I might win those who are without law.
Bi wa bana hei ni karkashi sharia na ime me k'ma hei na bi wa ba na he ni shari'a na ko shike me na hamma ni shiriya u Rji na Du naki me hei karkashi doka Rji me ti naki me ndi kpadi bi wa ba na he mi sharia na.
22 To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, that I may by all means save some.
Ni biwa bana hei ni gbegble na, me hei naki niba don me gbro bi hama ne gbengblen.
23 Now I do all things for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
Me tei kogye don bishara me ndi yoh woh ni min biwa ba kiti ndu don me ndi kpa albarka game.
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.
Bina to ndi indi gbugbu u bari ni gasa tsutsu, u bi waba tsutsu a, indi riri ni kpah sakamaka na?
25 Now everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
Indi u tsutsu ani mla kpama ti naki dafe gbegble kpama du hyi gyegyer. Ba tei naki du ba kpakpe wa ni ti meme wu bi gasa tsutsu bati nda kpa kpe wa ni kri ko'b ana wu te meme na.
26 I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
Anayi me tsutsu na me na he ni manufei na, yada me ti dambe an a kama me ndi da si tsi ni gwugwu na.
27 but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
Me mean ni kpa mu ti u yah, na mi gra don idan me bla tre Rji ni bari ime tumu mika na ti meme na.
