1 Corinthians 9
1 no to be free/freedom no to be apostle not! Jesus (Christ *K*) the/this/who lord: God me to see: see no the/this/who work me you to be in/on/among lord: God
Mimi si huru? Mimi si mtume? Mimi sikumwona Yesu Bwana wetu? Ninyi si matunda ya kazi yangu katika Bwana?
2 if another no to be apostle but indeed you to be the/this/who for seal (me *N(k)O*) the/this/who apostleship you to be in/on/among lord: God
Ikiwa mimi si mtume kwa wengine, angalau ni mtume kwenu ninyi. Kwa maana ninyi ni uthibitisho wa utume wangu katika Bwana.
3 the/this/who I/we defence the/this/who I/we to investigate to be this/he/she/it
Huu ndio utetezi wangu kwa wale wanaonichunguza mimi.
4 not no to have/be authority to eat and to drink
Je hatuna haki ya kula na kunywa?
5 not no to have/be authority sister woman: wife to take/go around as/when and the/this/who remaining apostle and the/this/who brother the/this/who lord: God and Cephas
Hatuna haki kuchukua mke aliye amini kama wafanyavyo mitume wengine, na ndugu wa Bwana, na Kefa?
6 or alone I/we and Barnabas no to have/be authority (the/this/who *k*) not to work
Au ni mimi peke yangu na Barnaba ambao tunapaswa kufanya kazi?
7 which? to battle one's own/private compensation once/when which? to plant vineyard and (out from *k*) (the/this/who fruit *N(k)O*) it/s/he no to eat or which? to shepherd flock and out from the/this/who milk the/this/who flock no to eat
Ni nani afanyaye kazi kama askari kwa gharama zake mwenyewe? Ni nani apandaye mzabibu na asile matunda yake? Au ni nani achungaye kundi asiyekunywa maziwa yake?
8 not according to a human this/he/she/it to speak or and the/this/who law this/he/she/it (no *N(k)O*) to say
Je ninasema haya kwa mamlaka ya kibinadamu? Sheria nayo haisemi haya?
9 in/on/among for the/this/who Moses law to write no to muzzle ox to thresh not the/this/who ox to concern the/this/who God
Kwa kuwa imeandikwa katika sheria ya Musa, “usimfunge ng'ombe kinywa apulapo nafaka.” Ni kweli kwamba hapa Mungu anajali ng'ombe?
10 or through/because of me surely to say through/because of me for to write that/since: since to owe upon/to/against hope the/this/who to plow to plow and the/this/who to thresh (the/this/who hope it/s/he *K*) upon/to/against hope (the/this/who *no*) to share
Au je hasemi hayo kwa ajili yetu? imeandikwa kwa ajili yetu, kwa sababu yeye alimaye nafaka inampasa kulima kwa matumaini, naye avunaye inampasa avune kwa matarajio ya kushiriki katika mavuno.
11 if me you the/this/who spiritual to sow great if me you the/this/who fleshly to reap
Ikiwa tulipanda vitu vya rohoni miongoni mwenu, Je! Ni neno kubwa kwetu tukivuna vitu vya mwilini kutoka kwenu?
12 if another the/this/who you authority to share no more me but no to use the/this/who authority this/he/she/it but all to endure in order that/to not one hindrance to give the/this/who gospel the/this/who Christ
Ikiwa wengine walipata haki hii kutoka kwenu, Je! Sisi si zaidi? Hata hivyo, hatukuidai haki hii. Badala yake, tulivumilia mambo yote badala ya kuwa kikwazo cha injili ya Kristo.
13 no to know that/since: that the/this/who the/this/who sacred to work (the/this/who *no*) out from the/this/who temple to eat the/this/who the/this/who altar to sit near/serve the/this/who altar to share
Hamjui ya kuwa wote wafanyao kazi hekaluni hupata chakula chao kutoka hekaluni? Hamjui ya kuwa wote watendao kazi madhabahuni hupata sehemu ya kile kilichotolewa madhabahuni?
14 thus(-ly) and the/this/who lord: God to direct the/this/who the/this/who gospel to proclaim out from the/this/who gospel to live
Kwa jinsi iyo hiyo, Bwana aliagiza ya kuwa wote wanaoitangaza injili sharti wapate kuishi kutokana na hiyo injili.
15 I/we then (no *no*) (to use *N(k)O*) none this/he/she/it no to write then this/he/she/it in order that/to thus(-ly) to be in/on/among I/we good for me more: rather to die or the/this/who pride me (in order that/to *K*) (none to empty *N(k)O*)
Lakini sijawadai haki zote hizi. Na siandiki haya ili jambo lolote lifanyike kwa ajili yangu. Ni heri mimi nife kuliko mtu yeyote kubatilisha huku kujisifu kwangu.
16 if for to speak good news no to be me pride necessity for me to lay on woe! (for *N(k)O*) me to be if not (to speak good news *N(k)O*)
Maana ikiwa naihubiri injili, sina sababu ya kujisifu, kwa sababu ni lazima nifanye hivi. Na ole wangu nisipoihubiri injili!
17 if for voluntarily this/he/she/it to do/require wage to have/be if then unwilling management to trust (in)
Kwa maana nikifanya hivi kwa hiari yangu, nina thawabu. Lakini ikiwa si kwa hiari, bado nina jukumu nililopewa kuwa wakili.
18 which? therefore/then (me *N(k)O*) to be the/this/who wage in order that/to to speak good news free to place the/this/who gospel (the/this/who Christ *K*) toward the/this/who not to use up the/this/who authority me in/on/among the/this/who gospel
Basi thawabu yangu ni nini? Ya kuwa nihubiripo, nitaitoa injili pasipo gharama na bila kutumia kwa utimilifu wa haki yangu niliyonayo katika Injili.
19 free/freedom for to be out from all all I/we to enslave in order that/to the/this/who greater to gain
Maana japo nimekuwa huru kwa wote, nilifanyika mtumwa wa wote, ili kwamba niweze kuwapata wengi zaidi.
20 and to be the/this/who Jew as/when Jew in order that/to Jew to gain the/this/who by/under: under law as/when by/under: under law (not to be it/s/he *NO*) by/under: under law in order that/to the/this/who by/under: under law to gain
Kwa Wayahudi nilikuwa kama Myahudi, ili niwapate Wayahudi. Kwa wale walio chini ya sheria, nilikuwa kama mmoja wao aliye chini ya sheria ili niwapate wale walio chini ya sheria. Nilifanya hivyo ingawa mimi binafsi sikuwa chini ya sheria.
21 the/this/who lawless as/when lawless not to be lawless (God *N(k)O*) but under law (Christ *N(k)O*) in order that/to to gain (the/this/who *no*) lawless
Kwa wale walio nje ya sheria, nilikuwa kama mmoja wao nje ya sheria, ingawa mimi binafsi sikuwa nje ya sheria ya Mungu, bali chini ya sheria ya Kristo. Nilifanya hivyo ili niwapate wale walio nje ya sheria.
22 to be the/this/who weak (as/when *K*) weak in order that/to the/this/who weak to gain the/this/who all to be (the/this/who *k*) all in order that/to surely one to save
Kwa walio wanyonge nilikuwa mnyonge, ili niwapate walio wanyonge. Nimekuwa hali zote kwa watu wote, ili kwa njia zote nipate kuwaokoa baadhi.
23 (all *N(K)O*) then to do/make: do through/because of the/this/who gospel in order that/to sharer it/s/he to be
Nami nafanya mambo yote kwa ajili ya injili, ili nipate kushiriki katika baraka.
24 no to know that/since: that the/this/who in/on/among stadium to run all on the other hand to run one then to take the/this/who prize thus(-ly) to run in order that/to to grasp
Hamjui ya kuwa katika mbio wote washindanao hupiga mbio, lakini apokeaye tuzo ni mmoja? Hivyo pigeni mbio ili mpate tuzo.
25 all then the/this/who to struggle all to self-control that on the other hand therefore/then in order that/to perishable crown to take me then incorruptible
Mwana michezo hujizuia katika yote awapo katika mafunzo. Hao hufanya hivyo ili wapokee taji iharibikayo, lakini sisi tunakimbia ili tupate taji isiyoharibika.
26 I/we then thus(-ly) to run as/when no uncertainly thus(-ly) to box as/when no air to beat up
Kwa hiyo mimi sikimbii bila sababu au napigana ngumi kama kupiga hewa.
27 but to wear out me the/this/who body and to enslave not how another to preach it/s/he failing to be
Lakini nautesa mwili wangu na kuufanya kama mtumwa, ili kwamba nijapokwisha kuwahubiri wengine, mimi mwenyewe nisiwe wa kukataliwa.
