Korineto I 9
1 A OLE anei au he lunaolelo? Aole anei au ho kanaka kuokoa? Aole anei au i ike ia Iesu Kristo, i ko kakou Haku? Aole anei oukou ka'u i hana maloko o ka Haku?
Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2 Ina aole au he lunaolelo ia hai, he oiaio no, ia oukou no; no ka mea, o oukou no ka hoailona o ka'u lunaolelo ana maloko o ka Haku.
If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3 Eia ka'u olelo i ka poe hoohewa mai ia'u.
Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4 Aole anei e pono ia makou ke ai a me ka inu?
Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5 Aole anei e pono ia makou, ke kono mai i kaikuwahine, a i wahine na makou, e like me kekahi o na lunaolelo, a me na kaikuaana o ka Haku, a me Kepa?
Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 O maua wale no a me Barenaba, aole anei e hiki ia maua ke hooki i ka hana?
Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
7 Owai ka mea hele i ke kaua me ka uku ole ia mai? Owai ka mea kanu i ka malawaina, a ai ole i kona hua? Owai hoi ka i hanai i na holoholona, a ai ole i ka waiu o na holoholona?
Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8 He olelo kanaka anei keia mea a'u e olelo nei? Aole anei i olelo mai ke kanawai i keia mau mea?
Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9 No ka mea, ua palapalaia mai ma ke kanawai o Mose, Mai hoopani i ka waha o ka bipi nana e hehi i ka palaoa. Ke malama nei anei ke Akua i na bipi?
For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Ke olelo mai nei anei oia ia mea no kakou wale no? Ua palapalaia no kakou no, i lana ai ka manao o ka mea mahiai i kona mahi ai ana; a o ka mea hoiliili me ka manaolana e loaa ia ia ka mea i lana ai kona manao.
Or saith he [it] altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, [this] is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 Ina makou i lulu aku i ko ka Uhane maluna o oukou, he mea nui anei ke hoiliili makou i ko oukou mea na ke kino?
If we have sown unto you spiritual things, [is it] a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 Ina i loaa keia pono maluna o oukou na kekahi poe e, aole anei he oiaio, na makou kekahi? Aole nae makou i lawe i keia pono; ua hoomanawanui no makou i na mea a pau, o keakeaia ka euanelio a Kristo ia makou.
If others be partakers of [this] power over you, [are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 Aole anei oukou i ike i ka poe hana ma na mea laa, ua ai lakou i na mea laa? a me ka poe lawelawe ma ke kuahu, ua ai lakou i ko ko kuahu?
Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live [of the things] of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Pela no hoi i kauoha mai ai ka Haku, o ka poe hai aku i ka euanelio, e ola no lakou ma ka euanelio.
Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
15 Aole hoi au i lawe i kekahi o keia mau mea; aole hoi au i palapala aku i keia, i hanaia mai ia'u pela; no ka mea, he mea maikai ia'u ka make, he mea ino ke hoonele mai kekahi ia'u i keia kaena ana.
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for [it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
16 A ina i hai aku au i ka euanelio, aole i loaa ia'u ka mea e kaena ai; no ka mea, ua kauia mai keia hana maluna o'u; auwe hoi au, ke hai ole aku au i ka euanelio.
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
17 A ina e hana au i keia mea me ka makemake, ua loaa ia'u ka uku; aka, ina me ka makemake ole, ua haawiia mai he oihana na'u.
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed unto me.
18 Heaha hoi ka'u e ukuia mai? Eia, i ka'u ao ana aku, hai aku no au i ka euanelio a Kristo me ka uku ole ia mai, o lawe hewa au i ka'u pono ma ka euanelio.
What is my reward then? [Verily] that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
19 He kanaka kuokoa an, aka hoi, na hookauwa aka no wau na na kanaka a pau, i loaa nui mai lakou ia'u.
For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
20 A iwaena au o na Iudaio, ua like au me ka Iudaio, i loaa'i ia'u na Iudaio: a iwaena au o ka poe ma ke kanawai, ma ke kanawai hoi au, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe ma ke kanawai.
And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21 A iwaena au o ka poe kanawai ole, na like hoi au me ka mea kanawai ole, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe ka nawai ole. (Aole hoi au i haalele i ko ke Akua kanawai, ma ke kanawai o Kristo waa.)
To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ, ) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 Iwaena au o ka poe makau wale, ua like me ka mea makau wale hoi wau, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe makau wale Iwaena o na kanaka a pau, lilo ae la au i na mea a pau, i ola io ai kekahi ia'u.
To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all [men], that I might by all means save some.
23 Ke hana nei no hoi au i keia, no ka euanelio, i loaa pu ai ia'a ko laila hope.
And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with [you].
24 Aole anei oukou i ike i ka poe kukini, holo no lakou a pau, aka, hookahi wale no e loaa ka uku? Ma ka loaa oukou e kukini ai.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 O ka poe a pau i hooikaika i ka uku, ua pakiko no lakou ma na mea a pau. Ma ka lei mae wale lakou; aka, ma ka lei mae ole kakou.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 No ia mea, ke holo nei au me ke kulanalana ole; ke mokomoko nei au, aole hoi e like me ka mea e mokomoko ana i ka makani.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 Ke uumi nei au i kuu kino a lanakila maluna iho, o lilo paha wau i ke apono ole ia, mahope o kuu ao ana aku ia hai.
But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
