1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
Ei ining tamba mi ama nattra? Ei pakhonchatpa ama nattra? Eina eikhoigi Ibungo Jisu Christtabu ukhraba nattra? Aduga nakhoi eina Ibungogidamak sujaba eigi thabakki mahei nattra?
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.
Atoppasingna eibu pakhonchatpa ama oina loubidrabasu nakhoigi naphamdadi tasengnamak oijari. Maramdi nakhoigi punsina Ibungoga amata oiminnaba adugi maramna nakhoi nasamakna eihak pakhonchatpa amani haiba achumba adugi khudam changdam oiri.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this.
Misingna eibu chang yengba matamda kamdouna ei isana isabu ngakthokchabage haiba adu asini:
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
Eigi thougalgidamak eina chanaba amadi thaknaba phangnabagi hak leitabra?
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 Cephas?
Atoppa pakhonchatpasing, Ibungogi manaosing amadi Peter-gumna thajabi loinabibu eikhoigi khongchatsingda eikhoina punnabagi hak leitabra?
6 Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
Aduga hingnabagidamak thabak sugadaba adu Barnabas-ka ei khaktagara?
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?
Kanana masagi sel puthokchaduna lanmi oina thabak tounabage? Anggur ingkhol koiraga masagi ingkhol adudagi mahei chadaba kana leibage? Yao sanggu loiraga madudagi sanggom thaktaba yaosenba kana leibage?
8 Do I say these things according to human authority? Or does not the Law also say the same thing?
Masi eina mioibagi oiba wakhallon adugi matung inna haiba khaktara? Wayel Yathangnasu masiga chap manana haiba nattabra?
9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, "Do not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." Is it for the oxen that God cares,
Maramdi Moses-ki Wayel Yathangda asumna iduna lei: “Nahakna sallabasingbu mahei marong nethahannaba sijinaringeida makhoigi machin punphade.” Masida Tengban Mapuna khanbiriba asi sallabasing asi khaktagira?
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.
Mahakna hairiba asi eikhoida haiba nattabra? Tasengnamak masi eikhoigi maramda ibani. Maramdi khoiriba adunasu aduga lokliba adunasu mahei adugi saruk phanggani haibagi ashada makhoina thabak tougadabani.
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
Eikhoina nakhoigi narakta thawaigi oiba maru hullaga, hakchanggi oiba kannaba lokpa asi yamna henmallabra?
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 Christ.
Atoppasingna nakhoidagi masi asha tounabagi hak leirabadi, eikhoinasu hak adu henna leipham thoktabra? Adum oinamak eikhoina asigumba hak asi sijinnade. Madugi mahutta Christtagi Aphaba Pao-da apanba thoktanaba eikhoina pumnamak khaangli.
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?
Mapugi Sanglenda thougal touriba makhoina Mapugi Sanglendagi chananaba phangjei haibadu nakhoi khangdabra? Aduga iratpungda thougal touriba makhoina latnapungda katlakliba iratpot adugi saruk phangminei haibadu nakhoi khangdabra?
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
Matou adugumna Aphaba Pao sandokpa makhoising aduna madugi mapanna hinggadabani haina Ibungona yathang pire.
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.
Adubu haksing asidagi hak amata eina sijinnade. Aduga asumna nakhoina iphamda touhannabagi ashada eina masi ikhibasu natte. Maramdi eigi chaothokchaba asibu kanagumbana karisu nattaba oihallabadi eigidamak sikhibana henna phei.
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.
Adum oinamak eina Aphaba Pao sandokpa matamda eina chaothokpa ngamjade, maramdi madu eina sandoktaba yadabani. Aduga Aphaba Pao adu eina sandoktrabadi ei awabanida!
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.
Karigumba Aphaba Pao adu eina sandokningna sandoklabadi eigi mana lei. Adubu sandokningna sandoktrabasu Tengban Mapuna eingonda thabak asi sinnabagi maramna madu eina ithou ama oina touribani.
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.
Adu oirabadi eigi mana karino? Aphaba Paogi thabakkidamak eigi hak adu tandana amasung lemna Aphaba Pao sandokpa asimak eigi khudongchaba amani.
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
Ei ining tamba mi amani, kanagisu minai natte; adumakpu eina ngamliba makhei misingbu Christtagi maphamda puraknanaba isana isabu mi pumnamakki minai oihanjare.
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;
Jihudisingbu Christtada purakpa yanabagidamak Jihudisinggi marakta ei Jihudisinggumna oire. Aduga ei isamak Moses-ki Wayel Yathanggi makha ponna leitrabasu Wayel Yathanggi makha ponna leiba makhoi adubu Christtada purakpa yanabagidamak eina makhoigumna Wayel Yathanggi makha ponba oire.
21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
Maduga chap mannana Jihudigi Wayel Yathang makha pondaba atoppa phurupsing adubu Christtada purakpa yananabagidamak eina makhoigumna Wayel Yathanggi makha pondaba oire. Masimakna ei Tengban Mapugi Wayel Yathang adu inde haibadi natte; adubu ei Christtagi Wayel Yathanggi makha ponna leijari.
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.
Asonba makhoisinggi marakta, makhoibu Christtada purakpa yanabagidamak ei asonba amagumna oire. Asumna karigumba ngamjaba pambei amagi mapanna makhoi kharabu eina kanjanaba mi pumnamakki maphamda ei pumnamak oire.
23 Now I do all things for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
Aduga eina Aphaba Paogi maramgidamak amadi madugi yaipha thoujal adu nakhoiga saruk phangminnanaba pumnamak asi toujabani.
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.
Lamjel tannabada lamjelloi pumnamakna chelli adubu amakhaktana mana phang-i haibadu nakhoi khangdabra? Adu oirabadi nakhoina mana adu phangnanaba chellu.
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.
Sanaroi khudingmakna mangkhigadaba luhup adu phangnanabagidak pumnamakta masa khudum chanjanaba kanna sajel tou-i; adubu eikhoinadi mangba nairaroidaba luhup adu phangnanaba masi tou-i.
26 I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
Maram asina eina panthungpham khangdana chenba mi amagumna chende; aduga pandampham khangdana pangthinda thinba sanaroi amagumna lamba toude.
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.
Adubu atoppa misingbu changyengnaba aduda yaonaba kouraga ei isamakna managidamak matik chadaba oidanaba eina eigi hakchangbu cheina phanghanduna kalhanjei amasung madubu mapungphana khudum chanjei.
