1 Korintos 9
1 Miyaanan xor ahayn? Miyaanan rasuul ahayn? Miyaanan arkin Rabbigeenna Ciise? Miyeydnaan ahayn shuqulkayga xagga Rabbiga?
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?
2 Xataa haddaanan kuwa kale rasuul u ahayn, idinka waa idiin ahay, waayo, waxaad tihiin shaabadda rasuulnimadayda xagga Rabbiga.
Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 Daafacaaddayda aan kuwa i imtixaama iskaga daafaco waa tan.
This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
4 Miyaannan annagu jid u lahayn inaannu wax cunno oo wax cabno?
Have we no right to food and to drink?
5 Miyaannan jid u lahayn inaannu haweenay walaal ah kaxaysanno sida rasuullada kale iyo walaalaha Rabbiga iyo Keeyfas ay sameeyaan?
Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?
6 Mise aniga iyo Barnabas oo keliyaan jid u lahayn inaannan shaqayn?
Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?
7 Askarigee baa qarashkiisa weligiis iska bixiya? Yaa beer canab ah beera oo aan midhaheeda cunin? Ama yaa adhi daajiya oo aan caanaha adhiga dhamin?
Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?
8 Waxyaalahaas ma sida dad baan u leeyahay? Oo sharcigu miyuusan waxyaalahaas oo kale lahayn?
Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?
9 Waayo, waxaa ku qoran sharciga Muuse, Waa inaadan dibiga af xidhin markuu sarreenka burburinayo. Ma Ilaah baa dibiyada oo keliya dhawra,
For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
10 mise innagoo dhan buu inoola jeeda? Hubaal, aawadeen baa loo qoray, waayo, kan beerta qodaa waa inuu rajo ku qodo, kan tumaana waa inuu tumo isagoo rajaynaya inuu wax qayb u helo.
Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.
11 Haddaannu idinku beernay waxyaalaha ruuxa, ma wax weyn baa haddaannu waxyaalaha jidhka idinka urursaano?
If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
12 Qaar kale hadday waxaas jid idiinku leeyihiin, miyaannan annagu si ka badan idiinku lahayn? Hase ahaatee, waxan noo jidka ah kuma aannu isticmaalin, laakiin wax walba waannu u dulqaadannaa inaannan sina u joojin injiilka Masiix.
If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 Miyeydnaan ogayn kuwa waxyaalaha quduuska ah ka shaqeeyaa inay macbudka wax ka cunaan, kuwa meesha allabariga ka adeegaana inay meesha allabariga qayb ku leeyihiin?
Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?
14 Sidaas oo kale Rabbigu wuxuu amray in kuwa dadka injiilka ku wacdiyaa ay injiilka ku noolaadaan.
In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
15 Laakiin waxyaalahaas midkoodna kuma aan isticmaalin. Haddana waxyaalahan u qori maayo in sidaas la ii yeelo, waayo, waxaa ii roon inaan dhinto intii nin uun faankayga ka dhigi lahaa wax aan wax ka jirin.
But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.
16 Waayo, haddaan dadka injiilka ku wacdiyo, wax aan ku faano ma aha, waayo, wax baa i qasbaya, maxaa yeelay, waa ii hoog haddaanan dadka injiilka ku wacdiyin.
Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
17 Waayo, haddaan waxaas ku sameeyo doonistayda aawadeed, abaalgud baan helayaa, laakiin haddaanan doonistayda ku samayn, weli wakiilnimo baa laygu aaminay.
If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.
18 Haddaba abaalgudkaygu waa maxay? Waa in markaan injiilka dadka ku wacdiyo aan injiilka ka dhigo iibla'aan, si aanan ugu wada isticmaalin waxa ii jidka ah xagga injiilka.
What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.
19 Waayo, in kastoo aan xor ka ahaa dad oo dhan, dhammaan ayaan addoon isaga dhigay, si aan qaar kaloo badan u soo kordhiyo.
Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
20 Yuhuudda waxaan u noqday sida Yuhuudi oo kale, si aan Yuhuud kale u soo kordhiyo. Kuwa sharciga ka hooseeyana, sida mid sharciga ka hooseeya ayaan u noqday, aniga oo aan sharciga ka hoosayn, si aan kuwa sharciga ka hooseeya u soo kordhiyo.
To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.
21 Xagga kuwa aan sharciga lahayn, sida mid aan sharci lahayn ayaan u noqday anigoo aan ahayn mid sharci la' xagga Ilaah, laakiin sharci leh xagga Masiix, si aan u soo kordhiyo kuwa aan sharciga lahayn.
To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.
22 Xagga kuwa itaalka daran waxaan u noqday mid itaaldaran, si aan kuwa itaalka daran u soo kordhiyo. Dadka oo dhan ayaan wax kasta u noqday inaan si kastaba qaar ku badbaadiyo.
To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
23 Wax kasta waxaan u sameeyaa injiilka aawadiis, si aan u noqdo mid injiilka la qaybsada iyaga.
I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
24 Miyaanad ogayn in kuwa tartan ku ordaa ay wada ordaan, laakiin mid uun baa dheefta hela? Sidaas u orda inaad heshaan.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
25 Kii cayaarta aad ugu dadaalaa, wax walba ayuu iska dhawraa. Kuwaasu haddaba waxay sidaas u yeelaan inay taaj dhammaanaya helaan, innaguse waxaynu helaynaa mid aan dhammaanaynin.
Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.
26 Haddaba anigu uma ordo qasdila'aan, uma feedhtamo sida mid dabaysha ku dhufanaya.
Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
27 Laakiin jidhkaygaan dhibaa oo addoon ka dhigaa si markaan qaar kale injiilka ku wacdiyo aan qudhayda lay diidin.
No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
