1 Korintos 9
1 Miyaanan xor ahayn? Miyaanan rasuul ahayn? Miyaanan arkin Rabbigeenna Ciise? Miyeydnaan ahayn shuqulkayga xagga Rabbiga?
Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not ye my work in the Lord?
2 Xataa haddaanan kuwa kale rasuul u ahayn, idinka waa idiin ahay, waayo, waxaad tihiin shaabadda rasuulnimadayda xagga Rabbiga.
If I am not an apostle to others, yet surely I am to you; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3 Daafacaaddayda aan kuwa i imtixaama iskaga daafaco waa tan.
This is my answer to those who question my authority.
4 Miyaannan annagu jid u lahayn inaannu wax cunno oo wax cabno?
Have we not a right to eat and drink?
5 Miyaannan jid u lahayn inaannu haweenay walaal ah kaxaysanno sida rasuullada kale iyo walaalaha Rabbiga iyo Keeyfas ay sameeyaan?
Have we not a right to carry about with us a sister as a wife, as well as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Mise aniga iyo Barnabas oo keliyaan jid u lahayn inaannan shaqayn?
Or am I alone and Barnabas bound to labor with our own hands?
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 ever serveth as a soldier at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard without eating its fruit? Or who tendeth a flock and doth not eat of the milk of the flock?
8 Waxyaalahaas ma sida dad baan u leeyahay? Oo sharcigu miyuusan waxyaalahaas oo kale lahayn?
Is it on man's authority that I am saying these things, or doth not the Law too say the same?
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: “Thou shalt not muzzle an ox while treading out grain.” Is it for oxen that God careth?
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.
Or doth he say it altogether on our account? On our account, no doubt, it was written, that he who plougheth ought to plough in hope, and that he who thrasheth should do it in the hope of partaking.
11 Haddaannu idinku beernay waxyaalaha ruuxa, ma wax weyn baa haddaannu waxyaalaha jidhka idinka urursaano?
If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap from you things for the body?
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 possess this right in relation to you, do not we still more? But we have not used this right; but we submit to all things, that we may occasion no hindrance to 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 ye not know, that they who minister in the offerings of the temple live from the temple? that they who serve at the altar share with the altar?
14 Sidaas oo kale Rabbigu wuxuu amray in kuwa dadka injiilka ku wacdiyaa ay injiilka ku noolaadaan.
In like manner also did the Lord ordain that they who preach the gospel should live 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 used no right of this kind; nor have I written thus that anything of this kind should be done for me; for it were better for me to die, than that any one should take from me what I glory in.
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.
For in preaching the gospel, I have nothing to glory in; for I am under a necessity to do so; yea, woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel!
17 Waayo, haddaan waxaas ku sameeyo doonistayda aawadeed, abaalgud baan helayaa, laakiin haddaanan doonistayda ku samayn, weli wakiilnimo baa laygu aaminay.
For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, still I have been intrusted with a stewardship.
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? It is that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel free of charge, that I use not to the full my right as a preacher of the gospel.
19 Waayo, in kastoo aan xor ka ahaa dad oo dhan, dhammaan ayaan addoon isaga dhigay, si aan qaar kaloo badan u soo kordhiyo.
For being free from all men, yet I made myself a servant to all, that I might gain the more;
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.
and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those under the Law, as under the Law, not being myself under the Law, that I might gain 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, as without the Law, being not without a law before God, but under the law of Christ, that I might gain 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, that I might gain the weak; I have become all things to all, that I might by all means save some.
23 Wax kasta waxaan u sameeyaa injiilka aawadiis, si aan u noqdo mid injiilka la qaybsada iyaga.
And I do all for the sake of the gospel, that I may with others partake of it.
24 Miyaanad ogayn in kuwa tartan ku ordaa ay wada ordaan, laakiin mid uun baa dheefta hela? Sidaas u orda inaad heshaan.
Know ye not, that of those who run in the race-course all run, but one receiveth the prize? Thus run, that ye may obtain.
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.
And every one who contendeth in the games is temperate in all things; they, however, to obtain a perishable crown, but we, an imperishable.
26 Haddaba anigu uma ordo qasdila'aan, uma feedhtamo sida mid dabaysha ku dhufanaya.
I therefore so run, not as one uncertain; I so fight, not as one striking the air;
27 Laakiin jidhkaygaan dhibaa oo addoon ka dhigaa si markaan qaar kale injiilka ku wacdiyo aan qudhayda lay diidin.
but I beat down my body, and bring it into subjection, lest perhaps, when I have been a herald to others, I should myself be rejected as unworthy.
