1 Korintiyawa 9
1 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?
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?
2 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.
If I am not an apostle to others, yet at least I am to you, for ye are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 Wannan ita ce kāriyata ga waɗanda suke tuhumata game da manzancina.
My defense to those who examine me is this.
4 Ba mu da’yancin ci da sha ne?
Have we no, not a right to eat and to drink?
5 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?
Have we no, not a right to lead about a sister wife, as also the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Ko ni da Barnabas ne kawai ba mu da’yanci a ɗauke mana aikin ci da kai?
Or have only I and Barnabas no right not to be occupied earning a living?
7 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?
Who ever enlists in an army at his own wage? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat from the milk of the flock?
8 Ina faɗin wannan bisa ga ra’ayin mutum kawai ne? Ashe, Doka ma ba tă faɗa haka ba?
Do I say these things according to man, or does not the law also say these things?
9 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?
For it is written in the law of Moses thou shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain. Is God concerned about oxen,
10 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.
or does he speak altogether for our sake? For our sake, for it was written, He who plows ought to plow with hope, and he who threshes with his hope, with hope to share.
11 In muka shuka iri na ruhaniya a cikinku, ashe, bai kamata mu yi girbin abin biyan bukatarmu daga gare ku ba?
If we sowed spiritual things to you, is it a great thing if we will reap your carnal things?
12 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.
If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good news of the Christ.
13 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?
Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar?
14 Haka ma Ubangiji ya umarta cewa ya kamata waɗanda suke wa’azin bishara, su sami abin biyan bukatarsu daga bisharar.
And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good news to live from the good news.
15 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.
But I have used none of these things, and I did not write these things so that it should be done to me this way. For it is good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my boasting empty.
16 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!
For if I preach the good news, it is not a source of pride for me, for an obligation is laid upon me. And woe is to me if I do not preach the good news.
17 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.
For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission.
18 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.
What then is my reward? That, while preaching the good news, I may make the good news of the Christ without charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the good news.
19 Ko da yake ina da’yanci ba na kuma ƙarƙashin kowa, na mai da kaina bawa ga kowa, domin in rinjayi mutane da yawa.
For although being free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that I might gain the more.
20 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.
And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews, to those under law, as under law, so that I might gain those under law,
21 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.
to those without law, as without law (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ), so that I might gain men without law.
22 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.
To the weak I became as weak, so that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that by all means I might save some.
23 Ina yin dukan waɗannan ne saboda bishara, domin in sami rabo a cikin albarkarta.
And I do this for sake of the good news, so that I might become a fellow participant of it.
24 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.
Know ye not that those who run in an arena, indeed all run, but one receives the prize? So run that ye may seize it.
25 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.
And every man who strives for mastery exercises self-control in all things. Indeed therefore those men do it so that they might obtain a perishable crown, but we an imperishable.
26 To, ni fa ba gudu nake yi kamar mai gudu ba wurin zuwa ba. Dambena kuma ba naushin iska nake yi ba.
I therefore run this way, not as aimlessly. I fight this way, not as flaying air.
27 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.
But I give my body a black eye and subdue it, lest somehow having preached to others, I myself might become disqualified.
