1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are ye 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 I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you: for ye are the seal of my apostleship 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 answer to them that examine me is this,
Misingna eibu chang yengba matamda kamdouna ei isana isabu ngakthokchabage haiba adu asini:
4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
Eigi thougalgidamak eina chanaba amadi thaknaba phangnabagi hak leitabra?
5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
Atoppa pakhonchatpasing, Ibungogi manaosing amadi Peter-gumna thajabi loinabibu eikhoigi khongchatsingda eikhoina punnabagi hak leitabra?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have we not power to forbear working?
Aduga hingnabagidamak thabak sugadaba adu Barnabas-ka ei khaktagara?
7 Who goeth a warfare at any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of its fruit? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
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 as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
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, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
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 saith he [this] altogether for our sakes? for our sakes, no doubt, [this] is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
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 have sown to you spiritual things, [is it] a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
Eikhoina nakhoigi narakta thawaigi oiba maru hullaga, hakchanggi oiba kannaba lokpa asi yamna henmallabra?
12 If others are partakers of [this] power over you, [are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel 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 ye not know that they who minister about holy things live [from the things] of the temple, and they who wait at the altar are partakers 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 hath the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live by the gospel.
Matou adugumna Aphaba Pao sandokpa makhoising aduna madugi mapanna hinggadabani haina Ibungona yathang pire.
15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for [it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying 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 though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel!
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 thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed 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 is my reward then? [Verily] that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my power in the gospel.
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 am free from all [men], yet I have made myself servant 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 And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that 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 them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ, ) that I might gain them that 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 [men], that I might 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 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with [you].
Aduga eina Aphaba Paogi maramgidamak amadi madugi yaipha thoujal adu nakhoiga saruk phangminnanaba pumnamak asi toujabani.
24 Know ye not, that they who run in a race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Lamjel tannabada lamjelloi pumnamakna chelli adubu amakhaktana mana phang-i haibadu nakhoi khangdabra? Adu oirabadi nakhoina mana adu phangnanaba chellu.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain 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 so run, not as uncertainly; so I fight, not as one that beateth the air:
Maram asina eina panthungpham khangdana chenba mi amagumna chende; aduga pandampham khangdana pangthinda thinba sanaroi amagumna lamba toude.
27 But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast-away.
Adubu atoppa misingbu changyengnaba aduda yaonaba kouraga ei isamakna managidamak matik chadaba oidanaba eina eigi hakchangbu cheina phanghanduna kalhanjei amasung madubu mapungphana khudum chanjei.
