< 1 Corinthians 9 >

1 Am I not free? Am I not an Apostle? Can it be denied that I have seen Jesus, our Lord? Are not you yourselves my work in the Lord?
Na da hahawane halegale lalebe dunu! Na da asunasi dunu! Na da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu ba: i dagoi! Na da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu Ea hawa: hamoiba: le, dilia da Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi esala.
2 If to other men I am not an Apostle, yet at any rate I am one to you; for your very existence as a Christian Church is the seal of my Apostleship.
Be eno dunu da na da asunasi dunu hame amo sia: sea, dilia da na da asunasi dunu amo dafawaneyale dawa: mu da defea. Dilia da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu Ema madelagiba: le esala, amo hou da na da asunasi dunudafa amo olelesa.
3 That is how I vindicate myself to those who criticize me.
Dunu da nama lasogole sia: sea, na da na hou agoane gaga: sa.
4 Have we not a right to claim food and drink?
Na hawa: hamobeba: le, na hano amola ha: i manu lamu da defeala: ?
5 Have we not a right to take with us on our journeys a Christian sister as our wife, as the rest of the Apostles do--and the Lord's brothers and Peter?
Na da asunasi dunu eno Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu Ea eyalali amola Bida ili defele, Yesu Ea hou lalegagui uda lale amola sigi masunu, amo na hamomu da defeala: ?
6 Or again, is it only Barnabas and myself who are not at liberty to give up working with our hands?
O defea hame galea, na amola Banabase ani fawane da ania wali esaloma: ne lamu liligi lamusa: , loboga hawa: hamomu da defeala: ?
7 What soldier ever serves at his own cost? Who plants a vineyard and yet does not eat any of the grapes? Or who tends a herd of cattle and yet does not taste their milk?
Dadi gagui dunu da gegesea, eno dunu da ema bidi iaha. Ifabi ouligisu dunu da ea waini sagai fage naha. Sibi ouligisu da ea sibi dodo maga: me naha.
8 Am I making use of merely worldly illustrations? Does not the Law speak in the same tone?
Be amo osobo bagade fedege sia: fawane na da hame olelesa. Gode Sia: Dedei Hamoma: ne Sia: i da amo hou defele olelesa.
9 For in the Law of Moses it is written, "Thou shalt not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain."
Mousese ea Sema amo ganodini ninia amane idisa, “Dilia gagoma ha: i manu lama: ne, bulamagau amo gagoma osagima: ne asunasisia, bulamagau ea lafi mae la: gima.”
10 Is God simply thinking about the oxen? Or is it really in our interest that He speaks? Of course, it was written in our interest, because it is His will that when a plough-man ploughs, and a thresher threshes, it should be in the hope of sharing that which comes as the result.
Be amo sia: da ninima olelema: ne dedei diala. Nowa dunu da osobo gidinasea, amola nowa dunu da ha: i manu faisia, ela da ha: i manu bidi lamusa: dawa: beba: le, hawa: hamosa.
11 If it is we who sowed the spiritual grain in you, is it a great thing that we should reap a temporal harvest from you?
Ania fedege agoane a: silibu liligi hawa: agoane dilia gilisisu amo ganodini bugi dagoi. Amaiba: le, ania dilima osobo bagade liligi faimu da defea.
12 If other teachers possess that right over you, do not we possess it much more? Yet we have not availed ourselves of the right, but we patiently endure all things rather than hinder in the least degree the progress of the Good News of the Christ.
Dunu eno da dilima amo liligi bidi agoane labeba: le, amo da defea ganiaba, anima amo liligi imunu da baligiliwane defea gala: loba. Be amo mae dawa: le, ania da dilima liligi hame lai. Be dilia Sia: Ida: iwane, Yesu Gelesu Ea hou olelesu liligi, amo noga: le hame nabasa: besa: le, ania da se nabimu hame hihi galu.
13 Do you not know that those who perform the sacred rites have their food from the sacred place, and that those who serve at the altar all alike share with the altar?
Dilia dawa: ! Dunu ilia Debolo Diasu amo ganodini hawa: hamobeba: le, ilia ha: i manu Debolo ouligisu dunuma i liligi naha. Amola dunu ilia gobele salasu hou oloda da: iya hawa: hamosa, ilia da gobele salimusa: , ha: i manu ligisi amo mogili la: idi naha.
14 In the same way the Lord also directed those who proclaim the Good News to maintain themselves by the Good News.
Amo hou defele, Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu da logo fodoi amane. Nowa da Ea Sia: olelesea, ilia hawa: hamosudafa hamobeba: le, bidi lamu.
15 But I, for my part, have not used, and do not use, my full rights in any of these things. Nor do I now write with that object so far as I myself am concerned, for I would rather die than have anybody make this boast of mine an empty one.
Be na da amo hou mae dawa: le, na labe amo lamu hame dawa: i galu. Amola amo labe lama: ne, na da wali meloa hame dedesa. Agoai hou na higabeba: le, na da mae edegele, hidadea bogomu da defea. Na moloidafa gasa fi hou da udigili liligi amo ba: sa: besa: le, na da na bidi gasawane adole ba: mu higasa.
16 If I go on preaching the Good News, that is nothing for me to boast of; for the necessity is imposed upon me; and alas for me, if I fail to preach it!
Na da Gode Ea Sia: Ida: iwane olelebeba: le, gasa fi agoane sia: mu da defea hame. Na da Yesu Gelesu nama sia: beba: le fawane olelesa. Na da amo sia: hame olelesea, se bagade nabimu.
17 And if I preach willingly, I receive my wages; but if against my will, a stewardship has nevertheless been entrusted to me.
Na da na hanaiba: le amo hawa: hamosa ganiaba, na da bidi lamu na da dawa: la: loba. Be Gode da amo hawa: hamosu nama ilegeiba: le, na da bidi mae dawa: iwane hamonana.
18 What are my wages then? The very fact that the Good News which I preach will cost my hearers nothing, so that I cannot be charged with abuse of my privileges as a Christian preacher.
Amaiba: le, na da adi bidi lama: bela: ? Na da Gode Ea Sia: Ida: iwane udigili bidi mae lalewane hahawane olelesa. Amo hahawane hou da nagili bidi gala.
19 Though free from all human control, I have made myself the slave of all in the hope of winning as many converts as possible.
Na da halegale lalabe. Na da dunu eno ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu hame. Be na hou afadenene, na da dunu bagohame Yesu Ea logoga hiougima: ne, bu na da dunu huluane ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane nisu hamosa.
20 To the Jews I have become like a Jew in order to win Jews; to men under the Law as if I were under the Law--although I am not--in order to win those who are under the Law;
Na da Yu dunu Yesuma hiougima: ne, na da Yu dunuma gilisili hawa: hamosea, Yu dunu ilia hou defele hamosa. Na da Mousese ea Sema amoga hame la: gi. Be na da amo Semaga la: gi dunuma gilisisia, amo dunu Yesuma hiougima: ne, na da Mousese ea Sema defele hawa: hamosa.
21 to men without Law as if I were without Law--although I am not without Law in relation to God but am abiding in Christ's Law--in order to win those who are without Law.
Amo hou defele, na da Dienadaile dunu ilima gilisili hawa: hamosea, na da Yu sema mae dawa: le, Dienadaile dunu Yesuma hiougima: ne, ilia hou defele hamosa. Amo bai da na Gode Ea Sema hame naba, mae dawa: ma. Na da Yesu Gelesu Ea sema nabawane hamonana.
22 To the weak I have become weak, so as to gain the weak. To all men I have become all things, in the hope that in every one of these ways I may save some.
Be gasa hame dafawaneyale dawa: su dunu ilima na gilisili hawa: hamosea, amo dunu Yesuma hiougima: ne, na da gasa hame dunu agoane ba: sa. Amaiba: le, na da dunu huluane ilia hou defele, na da logo huluane amoga na da ili Yesuma hiougima: ne, ilia hou defele hamosa.
23 And I do everything for the sake of the Good News, that I may share with my hearers in its benefits.
Amo hou huluane, na da Gode Sia: Ida: iwane fidima: ne amola na hou amo ganodini hahawane ba: ma: ne, hamosa.
24 Do you not know that in the foot-race the runners all run, but that only one gets the prize? You must run like him, in order to win with certainty.
Dilia huluane dawa: ! Hehenasu hedesu amo ganodini, dunu bagohame hehenasa. Be dunu afadafa fawane da baligili hehenabeba: le, bidi lasa. Dilia bidi lamusa: dawa: beba: le, baligiliwane hehenama.
25 But every competitor in an athletic contest practices abstemiousness in all directions. They indeed do this for the sake of securing a perishable wreath, but we for the sake of securing one that will not perish.
Hehenasu dunu huluane da habuga bidi lamu hanaiba: le, hi da: i hodo ea hou fane legesa. Amo habuga bidi lasu liligi da dasasu liligi. Be ninia da hame dasamu bidi lama: ne hehenasa.
26 That is how I run, not being in any doubt as to my goal. I am a boxer who does not inflict blows on the air,
Amaiba: le, na da hehenasu la: di bidiga doaga: musa: , moloiwane hehenasa. Na da loboga gegesu dunu agoane. Na da loboga hisi udigili hame fasa.
27 but I hit hard and straight at my own body and lead it off into slavery, lest possibly, after I have been a herald to others, I should myself be rejected.
Na da amo hehenasu hamoma: ne eno dunuma misa: ne sia: sa. Be Gode da na udigili esaloma: ne, na hehenasu logo hedofasa: besa: le, nisu da Na da: i hodo ga: nasima: ne amola na da: i hodo amoma na da ouligisuwane esaloma: ne, na da: i hodo fasa.
