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?
Ni ba yantacce bane? Ni ba Manzo ba ne? Ban ga Ubangijinmu Yesu ba? ba ku ne aikin hannuna cikin Ubangiji ba?
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.
Idan ni ba Manzo ba ne ga wadansu, hakika ni Manzo ne a gare ku. Ai kune shedar manzanci na cikin Ubangiji.
3 That is how I vindicate myself to those who criticize me.
Ga kariya ta zuwa masu zargi na,
4 Have we not a right to claim food and drink?
Ba mu da 'yanci mu ci mu sha?
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?
Ba mu da 'yanci mu dauki mace mai bada gaskiya kamar sauran manzanni da Kefas da 'yan'uwan Ubangiji?
6 Or again, is it only Barnabas and myself who are not at liberty to give up working with our hands?
ko ni da Barnabas ne kawai muka cancanci aiki?
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?
Wake aikin soja daga aljihunsa? Wake shuka gonar inabi baya ci daga 'ya'yan ta ba? Ko kuwa wake kiwon tumaki ba ya shan madarasu?
8 Am I making use of merely worldly illustrations? Does not the Law speak in the same tone?
Ina wannan zance da ikon mutum ne? Doka bata fadi haka ba?
9 For in the Law of Moses it is written, "Thou shalt not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain."
Gama a rubuce yake a attaura ta Musa cewa, Takarkari mai tattake hatsi kada a sa masa takunkumi. Amma shanu ne Ubangiji ke zance a kai?
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.
Ba don mu yake magana ba? An rubuta domin mu ne. Domin wanda yake noma, yayi cikin bege. mai tattake hatsi kuma yayi da begen samu.
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?
Idan mun yi shuka ta ruhaniya a rayuwarku, mai wuya ne mu girbi kayan ku na jiki?
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.
Idan wadansu sun mori wannan 'yanci a gurin ku, ba mu fi su cancanta ba? duk da haka bamu yi amfani da wannan 'yancin ba, maimakon haka, mun yi jimriya da duk abin da zaya hana bisharar Yesu Almasihu.
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?
Baku sani ba masu bauta a haikali suna samun abincinsu ne daga haikalin? Baku sani ba masu bauta a bagadi, suna da rabo daga abin da ake kawowa kan bagadin?
14 In the same way the Lord also directed those who proclaim the Good News to maintain themselves by the Good News.
Haka kuma Ubangiji ya umarta masu aikin bishara zasu ci abincinsu ta hanyar bishara.
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.
Amma ban yi amfani da wannan 'yanci ba, ba kuma ina rubuta maku domin ayi mani wani abu bane, na gwanmace in mutu maimakon wani ya hana ni wannan fahariya.
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!
Ko nayi shelar bishara, ba ni da dalilin fahariya domin ya zama dole in yi. Kaito na idan ban yi shelar bishara ba
17 And if I preach willingly, I receive my wages; but if against my will, a stewardship has nevertheless been entrusted to me.
Idan na yi hidimar nan da yardar zuciyata, ina da sakamako, idan kuma ba da yaddar zuciyata ba, harwa yau akwai nauwaya akai na.
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.
To menene sakamako na? shi ne in yi shelar bishara kyauta, da haka ba zan yi amfani the 'yanci na cikin bishara ba
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.
Ko da shike ni 'yantacce ne ga duka, amma na mai da kaina bawan kowa domin in ribato masu yawa,
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;
Ga yahudawa, na zama bayahude, domin in ribato yahudawa, ga wadanda ke karkashin shari'a, na maishe kaina kamarsu, domin in ribato wadanda ke karkashinta. Na aikata wannan ko da shike bana karkashin shari'a
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.
Ga wadanda basu karkashin shari'a, na maishe kaina kamar su. Ko da shike ban rabu da shari'ar Allah ba. Amma ina karkashin dokar Almasihu. Na yi haka ne domin in ribato wadanda ba sa karkashin shari'a.
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.
Ga marasa karfi, na maishe kaina kamar marar karfi, domin in ribato raunana. Na mai da kaina dukan abu ga dukan mutane domin in sami zarafin da zan ribato wadansu zuwa ceto.
23 And I do everything for the sake of the Good News, that I may share with my hearers in its benefits.
Ina dukan abu sabili da bishara, domin kuma in sami albarkar da ke cikinta
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.
Baku sani ba mutane da dama suna shiga tsere amma daya neke karbar sakamakon, saboda haka ku yi tsere domin ku karbi sakamako.
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.
Dan wasa yana motsa jiki da kame kansa. Yana yi saboda ya karbi wannan sakamako mai lalacewa, amma muna tsere domin mu karbi sakamako marar lalacewa.
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,
Saboda haka ba na tsere ko fada haka nan kamar mai bugun iska.
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.
Amma ina matse jiki na in maishe shi bawa, kada bayan na yi wa wadansu wa'azi ni kuma a karshe a fitar da ni.
