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 you 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 doubtless I am to you; for you 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 in this:
4 Ba mu da’yancin ci da sha ne?
do we not have authority 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?
Do we not have authority to lead about a sister—a 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 do only Barnabas and I have no authority not to work?
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 serves as a soldier at his own expense at any time? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock and does not eat of 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 speak these things according to man? Or does the Law not 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 in the Law of Moses it has been written: “you will not muzzle an ox treading out grain”; does God care for the 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 by all means does He say [it] because of us? Yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading [ought] of his hope to partake in hope.
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 to you the spiritual things—[is it] great if we reap your fleshly 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 partake of the authority over you—[do] we not more? But we did not use this authority, but we bear all things, that we may give no 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?
Have you not known that those working about the things of the temple eat of the temple, and those waiting at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Haka ma Ubangiji ya umarta cewa ya kamata waɗanda suke wa’azin bishara, su sami abin biyan bukatarsu daga bisharar.
So also the LORD directed to those proclaiming the good news to live of 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.
And I have used none of these things; neither did I write these things that it may be so done in my case, for [it is] good for me rather to die, than that anyone may make my glorying void;
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 may proclaim good news, it is no glorying for me, for necessity is laid on me, and woe is to me if I may not proclaim 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 willingly, I have a reward; and if unwillingly—I have been entrusted with a stewardship!
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 proclaiming good news, without charge I will make the good news of the Christ, not to abuse my authority 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 being free from all men, I made myself servant to all men, that the more I might gain;
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 like a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those under law as under law, 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)—that I might gain those 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 weak, that I might gain the weak; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some.
23 Ina yin dukan waɗannan ne saboda bishara, domin in sami rabo a cikin albarkarta.
And I do this because of the good news, that I may become a fellow-partaker 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.
have you not known that those running in a race—all indeed run, but one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain;
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 everyone who is striving is temperate in all things; these, indeed, then, that they may receive a corruptible garland, but we an incorruptible;
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, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating 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 bruise my body, and bring [it] into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others—I myself may become disapproved.
