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?
ཨཧཾ ཀིམ྄ ཨེཀཿ པྲེརིཏོ ནཱསྨི? ཀིམཧཾ སྭཏནྟྲོ ནཱསྨི? ཨསྨཱཀཾ པྲབྷུ ཪྻཱིཤུཿ ཁྲཱིཥྚཿ ཀིཾ མཡཱ ནཱདརྴི? ཡཱུཡམཔི ཀིཾ པྲབྷུནཱ མདཱིཡཤྲམཕལསྭརཱུཔཱ ན བྷཝཐ?
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.
ཨནྱལོཀཱནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏེ ཡདྱཔྱཧཾ པྲེརིཏོ ན བྷཝེཡཾ ཏཐཱཙ ཡུཥྨཏྐྲྀཏེ པྲེརིཏོ྅སྨི ཡཏཿ པྲབྷུནཱ མམ པྲེརིཏཏྭཔདསྱ མུདྲཱསྭརཱུཔཱ ཡཱུཡམེཝཱདྷྭེ།
3 My defense to those who examine me is this.
ཡེ ལོཀཱ མཡི དོཥམཱརོཔཡནྟི ཏཱན྄ པྲཏི མམ པྲཏྱུཏྟརམེཏཏ྄།
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
བྷོཛནཔཱནཡོཿ ཀིམསྨཱཀཾ ཀྵམཏཱ ནཱསྟི?
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?
ཨནྱེ པྲེརིཏཱཿ པྲབྷོ རྦྷྲཱཏརཽ ཀཻཕཱཤྩ ཡཏ྄ ཀུཪྻྭནྟི ཏདྭཏ྄ ཀཱཉྩིཏ྄ དྷརྨྨབྷགིནཱིཾ ཝྱཱུཧྱ ཏཡཱ སཱརྡྡྷཾ པཪྻྱཊིཏུཾ ཝཡཾ ཀིཾ ན ཤཀྣུམཿ?
6 Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
སཱཾསཱརིཀཤྲམསྱ པརིཏྱཱགཱཏ྄ ཀིཾ ཀེཝལམཧཾ བརྞབྦཱཤྩ ནིཝཱརིཏཽ?
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?
ནིཛདྷནཝྱཡེན ཀཿ སཾགྲཱམཾ ཀརོཏི? ཀོ ཝཱ དྲཱཀྵཱཀྵེཏྲཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏཏྥལཱནི ན བྷུངྐྟེ? ཀོ ཝཱ པཤུཝྲཛཾ པཱལཡན྄ ཏཏྤཡོ ན པིཝཏི?
8 Do I say these things according to human authority? Or does not the Law also say the same thing?
ཀིམཧཾ ཀེཝལཱཾ མཱནུཥིཀཱཾ ཝཱཙཾ ཝདཱམི? ཝྱཝསྠཱཡཱཾ ཀིམེཏཱདྲྀཤཾ ཝཙནཾ ན ཝིདྱཏེ?
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,
མཱུསཱཝྱཝསྠཱགྲནྠེ ལིཁིཏམཱསྟེ, ཏྭཾ ཤསྱམརྡྡཀཝྲྀཥསྱཱསྱཾ ན བྷཾཏྶྱསཱིཏི། ཨཱིཤྭརེཎ བལཱིཝརྡྡཱནཱམེཝ ཙིནྟཱ ཀིཾ ཀྲིཡཏེ?
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.
ཀིཾ ཝཱ སཪྻྭཐཱསྨཱཀཾ ཀྲྀཏེ ཏདྭཙནཾ ཏེནོཀྟཾ? ཨསྨཱཀམེཝ ཀྲྀཏེ ཏལླིཁིཏཾ། ཡཿ ཀྵེཏྲཾ ཀརྵཏི ཏེན པྲཏྱཱཤཱཡུཀྟེན ཀརྵྚཝྱཾ, ཡཤྩ ཤསྱཱནི མརྡྡཡཏི ཏེན ལཱབྷཔྲཏྱཱཤཱཡུཀྟེན མརྡྡིཏཝྱཾ།
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
ཡུཥྨཏྐྲྀཏེ྅སྨཱབྷིཿ པཱརཏྲིཀཱཎི བཱིཛཱནི རོཔིཏཱནི, ཨཏོ ཡུཥྨཱཀམཻཧིཀཕལཱནཱཾ ཝཡམ྄ ཨཾཤིནོ བྷཝིཥྱཱམཿ ཀིམེཏཏ྄ མཧཏ྄ ཀརྨྨ?
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.
ཡུཥྨཱསུ ཡོ྅དྷིཀཱརསྟསྱ བྷཱགིནོ ཡདྱནྱེ བྷཝེཡུསྟརྷྱསྨཱབྷིསྟཏོ྅དྷིཀཾ ཀིཾ ཏསྱ བྷཱགིབྷི རྣ བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ? ཨདྷིཀནྟུ ཝཡཾ ཏེནཱདྷིཀཱརེཎ ན ཝྱཝཧྲྀཏཝནྟཿ ཀིནྟུ ཁྲཱིཥྚཱིཡསུསཾཝཱདསྱ ཀོ྅པི ཝྱཱགྷཱཏོ྅སྨཱབྷིཪྻནྣ ཛཱཡེཏ ཏདརྠཾ སཪྻྭཾ སཧཱམཧེ།
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?
ཨཔརཾ ཡེ པཝིཏྲཝསྟཱུནཱཾ པརིཙཪྻྱཱཾ ཀུཪྻྭནྟི ཏེ པཝིཏྲཝསྟུཏོ བྷཀྵྱཱཎི ལབྷནྟེ, ཡེ ཙ ཝེདྱཱཿ པརིཙཪྻྱཱཾ ཀུཪྻྭནྟི ཏེ ཝེདིསྠཝསྟཱུནཱམ྄ ཨཾཤིནོ བྷཝནྟྱེཏད྄ ཡཱུཡཾ ཀིཾ ན ཝིད?
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
ཏདྭད྄ ཡེ སུསཾཝཱདཾ གྷོཥཡནྟི ཏཻཿ སུསཾཝཱདེན ཛཱིཝིཏཝྱམིཏི པྲབྷུནཱདིཥྚཾ།
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.
ཨཧམེཏེཥཱཾ སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ ཀིམཔི ནཱཤྲིཏཝཱན྄ མཱཾ པྲཏི ཏདནུསཱརཱཏ྄ ཨཱཙརིཏཝྱམིཏྱཱཤཡེནཱཔི པཏྲམིདཾ མཡཱ ན ལིཁྱཏེ ཡཏཿ ཀེནཱཔི ཛནེན མམ ཡཤསོ མུདྷཱཀརཎཱཏ྄ མམ མརཎཾ ཝརཾ།
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.
སུསཾཝཱདགྷེཥཎཱཏ྄ མམ ཡཤོ ན ཛཱཡཏེ ཡཏསྟདྒྷོཥཎཾ མམཱཝཤྱཀཾ ཡདྱཧཾ སུསཾཝཱདཾ ན གྷོཥཡེཡཾ ཏརྷི མཱཾ དྷིཀ྄།
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.
ཨིཙྪུཀེན ཏཏ྄ ཀུཪྻྭཏཱ མཡཱ ཕལཾ ལཔྶྱཏེ ཀིནྟྭནིཙྪུཀེ྅པི མཡི ཏཏྐརྨྨཎོ བྷཱརོ྅རྤིཏོ྅སྟི།
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.
ཨེཏེན མཡཱ ལབྷྱཾ ཕལཾ ཀིཾ? སུསཾཝཱདེན མམ ཡོ྅དྷིཀཱར ཨཱསྟེ ཏཾ ཡདབྷདྲབྷཱཝེན ནཱཙརེཡཾ ཏདརྠཾ སུསཾཝཱདགྷོཥཎསམཡེ ཏསྱ ཁྲཱིཥྚཱིཡསུསཾཝཱདསྱ ནིཪྻྱཡཱིཀརཎམེཝ མམ ཕལཾ།
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
སཪྻྭེཥཱམ྄ ཨནཱཡཏྟོ྅ཧཾ ཡད྄ བྷཱུརིཤོ ལོཀཱན྄ པྲཏིཔདྱེ ཏདརྠཾ སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ དཱསཏྭམངྒཱིཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
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;
ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱན྄ ཡཏ྄ པྲཏིཔདྱེ ཏདརྠཾ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏེ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཨིཝཱབྷཝཾ། ཡེ ཙ ཝྱཝསྠཱཡཏྟཱསྟཱན྄ ཡཏ྄ པྲཏིཔདྱེ ཏདརྠཾ ཝྱཝསྠཱནཱཡཏྟོ ཡོ྅ཧཾ སོ྅ཧཾ ཝྱཝསྠཱཡཏྟཱནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏེ ཝྱཝསྠཱཡཏྟཨིཝཱབྷཝཾ།
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.
ཡེ ཙཱལབྡྷཝྱཝསྠཱསྟཱན྄ ཡཏ྄ པྲཏིཔདྱེ ཏདརྠམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ སཱཀྵཱད྄ ཨལབྡྷཝྱཝསྠོ ན བྷཱུཏྭཱ ཁྲཱིཥྚེན ལབྡྷཝྱཝསྠོ ཡོ྅ཧཾ སོ྅ཧམ྄ ཨལབྡྷཝྱཝསྠཱནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏེ྅ལབྡྷཝྱཝསྠ ཨིཝཱབྷཝཾ།
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.
དུརྦྦལཱན྄ ཡཏ྄ པྲཏིཔདྱེ ཏདརྠམཧཾ དུརྦྦལཱནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏེ དུརྦྦལཨིཝཱབྷཝཾ། ཨིཏྠཾ ཀེནཱཔི པྲཀཱརེཎ ཀཏིཔཡཱ ལོཀཱ ཡནྨཡཱ པརིཏྲཱཎཾ པྲཱཔྣུཡུསྟདརྠཾ ཡོ ཡཱདྲྀཤ ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཏསྱ ཀྲྀཏེ ྅ཧཾ ཏཱདྲྀཤཨིཝཱབྷཝཾ།
23 Now I do all things for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
ཨིདྲྀཤ ཨཱཙཱརཿ སུསཾཝཱདཱརྠཾ མཡཱ ཀྲིཡཏེ ཡཏོ྅ཧཾ ཏསྱ ཕལཱནཱཾ སཧབྷཱགཱི བྷཝིཏུམིཙྪཱམི།
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.
པཎྱལཱབྷཱརྠཾ ཡེ དྷཱཝནྟི དྷཱཝཏཱཾ ཏེཥཱཾ སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ ཀེཝལ ཨེཀཿ པཎྱཾ ལབྷཏེ ཡུཥྨཱབྷིཿ ཀིམེཏནྣ ཛྙཱཡཏེ? ཨཏོ ཡཱུཡཾ ཡཐཱ པཎྱཾ ལཔྶྱདྷྭེ ཏཐཻཝ དྷཱཝཏ།
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.
མལླཱ ཨཔི སཪྻྭབྷོགེ པརིམིཏབྷོགིནོ བྷཝནྟི ཏེ ཏུ མླཱནཱཾ སྲཛཾ ལིཔྶནྟེ ཀིནྟུ ཝཡམ྄ ཨམླཱནཱཾ ལིཔྶཱམཧེ།
26 I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
ཏསྨཱད྄ ཨཧམཔི དྷཱཝཱམི ཀིནྟུ ལཀྵྱམནུདྡིཤྱ དྷཱཝཱམི ཏནྣཧི། ཨཧཾ མལླཨིཝ ཡུདྷྱཱམི ཙ ཀིནྟུ ཚཱཡཱམཱགྷཱཏཡནྣིཝ ཡུདྷྱཱམི ཏནྣཧི།
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.
ཨིཏརཱན྄ པྲཏི སུསཾཝཱདཾ གྷོཥཡིཏྭཱཧཾ ཡཏ྄ སྭཡམགྲཱཧྱོ ན བྷཝཱམི ཏདརྠཾ དེཧམ྄ ཨཱཧནྨི ཝཤཱིཀུཪྻྭེ ཙ།
