1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?
Ba ni da’yanci ne? Ni ba manzo ba ne? Ni ban gan Yesu Ubangijinmu ba ne? Ba ku ne sakamakon aikina cikin Ubangiji ba?
2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
Ko da waɗansu ba su ɗauke ni a matsayin manzo ba, tabbatacce, ni manzo ne a gare ku! Gama ku ne hatimin manzancina a gaban Ubangiji.
3 My defence to those who examine me is this:
Wannan ita ce kāriyata ga waɗanda suke tuhumata game da manzancina.
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
Ba mu da’yancin ci da sha ne?
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?
Ba mu da’yancin tafiya tare da matar da muka aura mai bi kamar sauran manzanni da’yan’uwan Ubangiji da kuma Kefas suke yi?
6 Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
Ko ni da Barnabas ne kawai ba mu da’yanci a ɗauke mana aikin ci da kai?
7 What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from the flock’s milk?
Wa yake ciyar da kansa yayinda yake aikin soja? Wa yake shukar gonar inabi, da ba ya cin amfaninta? Wa yake kiwon garke, da ba ya sha madararsa?
8 Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing?
Ina faɗin wannan bisa ga ra’ayin mutum kawai ne? Ashe, Doka ma ba tă faɗa haka ba?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,
Gama yana a rubuce a cikin Dokar Musa cewa, “Kada ka sa wa saniya takunkumi sa’ad da yake sussukar hatsi.” Kuna tsammani a kan shanu ne Allah ya damu sa’ad da ya ce haka?
10 or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who ploughs ought to plough in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.
Babu shakka, ya yi maganan nan saboda mu ne. Ko ba haka ba? I, an rubuta wannan saboda mu ne, domin sa’ad da mai noma yake noma, mai sussuka kuma yana sussuka, suna wannan ne da bege za su sami rabonsu daga girbin.
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
In muka shuka iri na ruhaniya a cikinku, ashe, bai kamata mu yi girbin abin biyan bukatarmu daga gare ku ba?
12 If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we didn’t use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.
In waɗansu suna samun wannan taimako daga gare ku, ashe, mu ba mu fi cancanta mu samu ba? Amma ba mu yi amfani da wannan’yancin ba. A maimakon haka, mun jure da kome, domin kada mu hana bisharar Kiristi yaɗuwa.
13 Don’t you 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?
Ashe, ba ku san cewa waɗanda suke hidima a haikali suna samun abincinsu daga haikali ba ne, waɗanda kuma suke hidima a bagade suna samun rabo a hadayar da suka miƙa ba ne?
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
Haka ma Ubangiji ya umarta cewa ya kamata waɗanda suke wa’azin bishara, su sami abin biyan bukatarsu daga bisharar.
15 But I have used none of these things, and I don’t 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.
Amma ban yi amfani da ko ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan’yancin ba. Ba kuma ina rubuta muku wannan da fata za ku yi mini waɗannan abubuwa ba ne. Gwamma in mutu, da wani yă hana ni wannan abin taƙama.
16 For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News.
Duk da haka, sa’ad da ina wa’azin bishara, ba na taƙama, domin tilas ne a gare ni in yi wa’azi. Kaitona, in ban yi wa’azin bishara ba!
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.
In na yi wa’azi da yardar rai, ina da lada; in ba da yardar rai ba, ina dai cika amana da aka danƙa mini ne.
18 What then is my reward? That when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
To, mene ne ladana? Ladana kaɗai shi ne, in yi wa’azin bishara, in kuma yi shi a kyauta, yadda ba zan yi amfani da’yancina cikin wa’azin ba.
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
Ko da yake ina da’yanci ba na kuma ƙarƙashin kowa, na mai da kaina bawa ga kowa, domin in rinjayi mutane da yawa.
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, that I might gain those who are under the law;
Ga Yahudawa na zama kamar mutumin Yahuda, domin in rinjayi Yahudawa. Ga waɗanda suke ƙarƙashin doka kuma, na zama kamar wanda yake ƙarƙashin Dokar (ko da yake ni kaina ba na ƙarƙashin Doka), domin in rinjayi waɗanda suke ƙarƙashin Doka.
21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law towards God, but under law towards Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
Ga waɗanda ba su da Dokar kuwa, na zama kamar wanda ba shi da Dokar (ko da yake ba ni da’yanci daga dokar Allah, amma ina ƙarƙashin dokar Kiristi), domin in rinjayi waɗanda ba su da dokar.
22 To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.
Ga waɗanda ba su da ƙarfi, na zama marar ƙarfi, domin in rinjayi waɗanda ba su da ƙarfi. Na zama dukan abu ga dukan mutane, domin ko ta yaya in zai yiwu, in ceci waɗansu.
23 Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
Ina yin dukan waɗannan ne saboda bishara, domin in sami rabo a cikin albarkarta.
24 Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, so that you may win.
Ba ku sani ba cewa a gasar gudu, dukan masu gudu sukan yi gudu, amma guda ne kaɗai yakan sami lada? To, sai ku yi gudu yadda za ku sami lada.
25 Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
Duk’yan wasan gasa sukan hori kansu sosai. Sukan yi haka domin su sami rawanin da ba zai daɗe ba. Amma mu muna yi ne domin mu sami rawanin da zai dawwama.
26 I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,
To, ni fa ba gudu nake yi kamar mai gudu ba wurin zuwa ba. Dambena kuma ba naushin iska nake yi ba.
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 disqualified.
A’a, ina horon jikina in mai da shi bawana, saboda bayan na yi wa waɗansu wa’azi, ni kaina kada in kāsa cancantar samun lada.
