1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? Am I not an emissary? Have I not seen Yeshua our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
Ane sendi mwaushe? Ane sendi tumwe? Ane sehalolile uYesu Ugosi witu? Amwese mfumozye mbombo yane hwa Yesu?
2 If to others I am not an emissary, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my office of emissary in the Lord.
Nkasiga enditume hwabhinje lelo hulimwe enditumwe amwe uhakika wetumwe wane hwa Yesu.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this.
Ane ehwiyumila hwa bhala bha bhawiini(bhabhanenya) ane.
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
Eshi ate setili ne haki alye na mwelee?
5 Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the emissaries, and the brothers of the Lord, and Kefa?
Setili ne haki ahumweje ushe pandwemo nate yali mweteshee neshishabhabhomba atumwe abhanje na holo bha Yesu nu Kefa?
6 Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
Awe nene ne mwene nu Barnaba tasetihwanziwa abhombe embombo?
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?
Awe sikali wele yabhomba embombo hugalama zyakwe yuyo? Wenu yalima eviyabho yasiga alya evyamgunda gwakwe? Wenu yasuga eng'ombe yasaamwela amazibha ge ng'ombe zyakwe?
8 Do I say these things according to human authority? Or does not the Law also say the same thing?
Eyanga ezi enongwa zya bhantu? Sheria nayo haisemi haya?
9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." Is it for the oxen that God cares,
Mu sheria zya Musa, zigile usaizije ilomu eng'ombe nepula eviyabho eshi epo izuliyanga mambo ge ng'ombe?
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.
Eshi jibha sayanga zya hulite enongwa ewzyo zitiyanga tete, umuntu yalima, alima asuhila huje ehailya wope yavuna avuna ohu asobhela huje embalye vyevuna.
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
Eshi ate nkashele tabhatutiye evya mmwoyo yabha nongwa ate nkatinune evintu vyenyu evyamubele?
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 Messiah.
Eshi abhanje nkashele mubhapela evintu, eshi ate handasetipeliwa ashile ebho, lelo ate tapumile tavumiliye zyonti aje tisananganye izu lya Ngulubhi.
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?
Eshi semumenye aje bhabhabhomba embombo mwikanisa bhalya evya mwikanisa? Shila muntu alyapa mbombo yakwe madhabahuni hupata sehemu ya kile kilichotolewa madhabahuni?
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
Ugusi uYesu ayanjile aje umuntu yalumbilila izu lya Ngulubhi bhalyanje humbombo iyo.
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.
Lelo ane sembamelile evi vyonti. Sigaesimba ega ehwanza aje amambo ega gabhombeshe shinza hunongwa yane ahelu ane enfwe, ashile umuntu aje agaluzanye ahwisumbe hwane.
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.
Nkashele elumbilila izu sewzilola ezyahwilumbe, lazima embombo eshi. Palwane ane nkasiga elumbilila izu!
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.
Nkembombe eshi hwigane lyane endi thawabu. Atasagahwigane lyane bado endinezyabhombe aje embe mwemeleli.
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.
Eshi ethawabu yane yenu huje endumbilile izu hugalama zyane nene niliyonayo katika injili.
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
Hata endimwaushe hwa bhonti, nahali boyi hwa bhonti, ili emba abhantu abhinjitee.
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;
Hwa Bhayahudi nali neshi Ayahudi, ili embaje Ayahudi. Hwa bhaala bhabhalinesheria nali nesheria, bhabhali nesheria ili embaja bhabhalinesheria. Nilifanya hivyo ingawa mimi binafsi sikuwa chini ya sheria.
21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Messiah), that I might win those who are without law.
Hwa bhaala basigabhane ne sheria, bhope nalinginebho iliembaje bhasebhane sheria ya Ngulubhi, enga ane senalihwonze ne sheria ya Musa, nahali ne sheria ya Kristi ili embaje bhonti.
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.
Hwa bhololo nali mwololo ili embaje abhololo. Nahali isho hwa bhantu bhonti ili embokole abhantu.
23 Now I do all things for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
Nane ebhomba amambo gonti hunongwa yizyu, ili nane enshiriki ulusayo.
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.
Eshi semumenye aje bhabhashindana ashembele bhabha bhabhinji lelo yapata isombo abha muntu umo? Namwe shembelaji ili mupate isombo elye womi.
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.
Bhabhomba enyango sebhabhomba embombo eyenje na bali amanyile. Ebho bhabha esho ili bhapate isombo lyali nanjiha, lelo ate tishembela ili tupate isombo lyasigalinanjiha.
26 I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
Nanee siga eshembela wene au akhome engumi, neshi ya khoma umwoyi.
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.
Eshi nane ehwilavya ubili gwane nagubhombe neshi uboyi, ebhomba esho huje nanabhalumbilila abhanje nane ensabhe muntu wakhanwe.
