1 Korinti 9

1 Hagi nagra kina vahe omani'nofi? Nagra Jisasi aposol eri'za vahera omani'nofi? Jisasina Rantimofona onke'nofi? Tamagra Ramofonte eri'za eri'noa raga'a omani'nazafi?

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?

2 Hianagi mago'a vahe'mo'zama antahi'zana aposol vahera omani'ne nehazanagi, tamage tamagritera aposol vahe nagra mani'noe. Na'ankure Ramofonte aposol eri'za eri'noa zamofo nena raga'a tamagra mani'naze.

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.

3 Nagra refkoma hunantaza vahekura amanage hu'na kenona hunezmantoe.

My defense to those who examine me is this:

4 Mizantigna huta kave ene tinema erisuna zamo'a, e'i knarera osu'nefi?

Have we no right to eat and to drink?

5 Aposol naga'ene Jisasi aganahe'zane Pita'enema hu'nazaza huta zmentintine a'nea eri'neta, zmavareta vanoma hanunana, e'i knarera osu'nefi?

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?

6 Hanki, Banabasi'ene nagrane tagra'ake zago eri'za erita kegava hanuke'za, mago'amo'za anara osugahazafi?

Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?

7 Ha'ma nehia sondia vahera, agra'a eri'zama'arera, agra'a miza senentefi? I'o ru vahe'mo'za mizana nemize. Iza'o waini hozama kri'nemo'a, raga'a krepia tagino nonefi? Iza'o sipisipi afuzaga kegava nehimo'a, ami rima'a tatino nonefi? Ozo agra tatino nene.

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?

8 Nagra vahe antahi'za avaririna kea nehufi? Anumzamofo kasegemo'ene hu'neaza nehue.

Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing?

9 Na'ankure Mosese kasegefina krente'ne, Tamagra bulimaka'o afu'mo'ma witi akru'ma nehresifina, agitera ana'okinenkeno anampintira ne'zana zogino neneno witia hareno hu'neana bulimakaonku hu'nefi? A'o. (Diu-Kas 25:4) Anumzamo'a bulimakao afukuke ama kea hu'nefi? A'o.

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,

10 Ama tamage tagriku hu'nefi? Izo, tagriku huno krente'ne, hoza erisimo ne'zama nesigu amuhara nehanigeno, witi akru hare'nimo enena anampinti'ma ne'zama refko huno erisigu amuhara hugahie. Mono eri'za vahera, mono'ma zamasamisaza vahe'mo'za, miza sezmanteho.

or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.

11 Tagrama Avamumofo avimzama tamagripima negrita, amega tavufgare zama tamagripinti erisunazamo knarera osugahio? E'inahu avu'ava zamo'a nezama krinonaza vasageankna nehune.

If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?

12 Hanki mago'amo'za kema eme huama haza ruga'a vahe'ma zamaza nehanuta, tagri'enena tagesga huta mizana ontamigosazafi? Tagra hugazanagi nosune. Na'ankure Kraisi Knare Musenkemofo kama renkni rezanku anaknaza e'nerue.

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.

13 Ra mono nompima eri'zama e'neriza vahe'mo'za, kresramana vunaku ra mono nompi eri'za neaza ne'zampinti, ne'zazmia e'nerize. Ana hanige'za kre sramnavu itare eri'za e'neriza vahe'mo'za, ne'za zmia Kresramana vu itareti e'nerizanki tamagra ontahi'nazo?

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?

14 E'inahu kna kante, Ramo'a huno, Iza'zo mono ke hanaza vahe'mo'za, zamaza hu'zana, mono kema hanage'za antahisaza vahepinti erigahaze. (Luk 10:7-9)

Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.

15 Hu'neanagi nagra hugazanagi nosue. Nagra ama avoma kreneramuana, mago'za hunantehogura nosue. Na'ankure nagrama agi omane vahekna hu'na frisugeno'a, knare hugahie.

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.

16 Na'ankure nagra Knare Musenke hanuazankura nagia e'origahue. Mono kema hu'zana Anumzamo huo huno hunante'nea eri'zanki'na ana eri'zama e'orisuna nagra havizantfa hugahie.

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.

17 Nagra navesite'ma Knare Musenkema huama'ma nehusimpaga mizani'a erusine. Hianagi nagra navesitera e'noruanki Anumzamo antahinamino, kegava huo hunante'nea eri'zanki'na e'nerue.

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.

18 Nagra na'a mizani'a erigahue? Nagrama Knare Musenkema tmasamua zankura miza seho hunormantoe, ana hu'negu Knare Musenkerera mizana eriga'zanagi e'norue.

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.

19 Na'ankure mago vahetera kina vahekna osu'noe, nagra hakare vahe'mofo kazokzo eri'za vahe mani'ne'na, rama'a vahera zamavregahue.

For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

20 Jiu vahe'ma zmavarenakura zamagrikna hu'na mani'ne'na nezmavroe, nagra'a kasegemofo agorga omani'noanagi, kasegemofo agorga mani namokizmia, kasegemofo agorga mani vahe kna hu'ne'na nezmavroe.

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;

21 Kasegema e'ori namokizmima zmavrenakura, kasege e'ori vahe kna hu'na mani'ne'na nezmavaroe. Nagra Anumzamofo kasegema avariri zantera mani'noanagi, nagra Kraisi kasegemofo agorga'a mani'nena, kasegemofo agorga'a omani'namokizmi nezmavroe.

to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.

22 Hanavezimi omne'nemokizmirera, hanaveni'a omne vahe kna hu'na mani'ne'na nezmavroe. Nagra maka vahetera zamagrama mani'naza avutigati hu'na mani'ne'na nezmavre'na, mago'amokizmia zmagu'vazino zmaho'ma kenigu mika'zana nehue.

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.

23 Ama ana miko'zama nehuana, Knare Musenkegu hu'na nehue. E'ina hanige'na anampintira nagra'a asomura erigahue.

Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

24 Zmagare zokago vahe'mo'za zmagama razafina, hakare vahe'mo'za zmaga nerazanangi, magoke'mo zamagatereno mizana e'nerianki ontahi'nazo? E'ina hukna kante tamaganeretma mizana erigahaze.

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.

25 Mika'mo'za zokagopima ufrenaku'ma hazamo'za, zamufamofo zamesizana maka'zampina kegava nehu'za, zamagra zamesi'zana novaririze. Mizama eri'zana osiagnafi meno haviza nehie. Hianagi tagrama erisuna mizamo'a mevava hugahie.

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.

26 E'ina hu'negu nagrama nagama neroana, uhanatigahue hu'na hu'nore uhanatinaku nagare'na nevue. E'inahu kanteke nagrama nazama atroana, amne zahopina notroanki, ahegahue hu'na huazana nehoe.

I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,

27 Vahe'mokizmi mono ke zmasamite'na, ru nagrani'a miza e'orizanku, nagrani'a navufga hanaveti'na amasagugeno, nagri navesi'za nevaririe.

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.
