1 Ukorintiyawa 9

1 Na meng in shutu ba? Na Meng gono katawari ba? Na Meng wa yene Yisa Cikilari bite ba? Na anug hère katuwa nacara nighere nan nya Ncikilari ba?

Am I not an Apostle? am I not fre? have I not sene Iesus Christ oure lorde?

2 Andi na Meng gono kadurari kiti namon ba, ai kiti mine ndi, bara anughere ba dursu annit meng gono kadura, nan nya Ncikilari.

Are not ye my worke in the lorde. Yf I be not an Apostle vnto other yet am I vnto you. For the seale of myne Apostleshippe are ye in the lorde.

3 Ulelere ukesu kiti nale nge na udi dumu zuni.

Myne answer to them that axe me is this.

4 Na arike nwanya tileoti sono ba?

Have we not power to eate and to drynke?

5 Na wanya yira awani ba anan nyinnu Kutellẹ nafo kagisin nanan kadura, nin nuwana nan nya Ncikilari ame Bitrus.

Ether have we not power to leade about a sister to wyfe as wel as other Apostles and as the brethren of the lorde and Cephas?

6 Sa Barnabas nin mi arikere ba su katuwa casa?

Ether only I and Barnabas have not power this to do?

7 Ghari di katuwa nafo kusoja, ame leo nin litime? Ghari ba bilisu imon nan nya a wanya aleo ba? Sa Ghari basu libiya ninab sa uwuru asonu madare?

who goeth a warfare eny tyme at his awne cost? who planteth a vynearde and eateth not of the frute? Who fedeth a flocke and eateth not of the mylke?

8 Ndi belle ule imone bara likara nnit usurne? Na uduka bellin nano ba?

Saye I these thinges after the manner of men? Or sayth not the lawe the same also?

9 Nafo na udi ninyerte nduka Musa, “Yenje uwa tursu fina unu kubi na adi katuwa kunen nileo.” Kidege innari cas Kutellẹ min nania?

For it ys written in the lawe of Moses. Thou shall not mosell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne. Doth God take thought for oxen?

10 Na ame din nliru kitene bite ba? Iwa nyertin bara arikere, bara ulle na adi nikawa na asu nin ti kibinai, unan su kinorso na asu nin ti kibinai nworu aba se kubi ngirbe.

Ether sayth he it not all to gedder for oure sakes? For oure sakes no doute this is written: that he which eareth shuld eare in hope: and that he which thressheth in hope shuld be parttaker of his hope.

11 Asa ti bilisa imon Ruhu nanya mine, uba yitu gbardang kagha arike nwase imon lisosin nye kiti mine?

Yf we sowe vnto you spirituall thynges: is it a greate thynge yf we reepe youre carnall thynges

12 Andi amon di pirizu imon na idi imine kiti mine, na arike dumun nile na ikatin ba? Na nanere ba, na tina se ileli imone ba. Tima teru ayi bara ti wa wantin uliru nlai Kristi.

Yf other be parttakers of this power over you? wherfore are not we rather. Neverthelesse we have not vsed this power: but suffre all thinges lest we shuld hynder the gospell of Christ.

13 Na anug yiru ba nworu allenge na idin su katuwa kutyin nlira iba se imonli mine kutyin nlire? Inung alle na idi katuwa kitene nbadagi, adi nli imonli me kikene bagade?

Do ye not vnderstoder how that they which minister in the temple have their fyndynge of the temple? And they which wayte at the aulter are partakers with ye aultre?

14 Nanere, Kutellẹ wa ni uduka aworo ulle na adin bellu nlai, iba se imonli me kiti nbellu nliru nlai.

Even so also dyd ye lorde ordayne that they which preache ye gospell shuld live of the gospell.

15 Vat nin nani, nan nsa se imomon nanya nile imone vatt ile imone bara inan su menku imomon ba, ukatin nku nin nworo anung yene ufo figiri nighe so uhem.

But I have vsed none of these thinges. Nether wrote I these thinges that it shuld be so done vnto me. For it were better for me to dye the yt eny man shnld take this reioysinge from me

16 Asa ndin bellu uliru nlai, na nile imon na iba fo figiri ba, bara ikifoi nsu nani, kash nin mi asa na nbelle uliru a nlai ba.

In that I preache the gospell I have nothinge to reioyce of. For necessite is put vnto me. Wo is it vnto me yf I preache not the gospell.

17 Bare nwa su illenge imone nani nin kibinai kirum, mba seru ulada andi na nin kibinai kirum ba ndu nin katuwa kanga na iwa nie.

If I do it with a good will I have a rewarde. But yf I do it agaynst my will an office is committed vnto me.

18 Iyaghari ulada nighe? nworu uwa bellu uliru nlai meng ba ni uliru nlai sa useru nimomon, nan baseru ile imon na nyene inaghari nanya nliru kulelle.

What is my rewarde then? Verely that whe I preache the gospell I make the gospell of Christ fre yt I misvse not myne auctorite in ye gospel

19 Bara nani meng shutu na cara na nit vat, nlawa kucin kiti nanit vat, bara nnan wunno annit vat.

For though I be fre from all men yet have I made my silfe servaunt vnto all men that I myght wynne the moo.

20 Kiti na yahudawa so nafo kuyahudawa, bara nna wuno ayahudawa, kiti na ilenge na imin nduka, nso nafoo allenge na imin (vat nin nani, na meng min ushara ba) nnan wunun alle na imnin ushara.

Vnto the Iewes I became as a Iewe to winne ye Iewes. To the that were vnder the lawe was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe to wynne the that were vnder the lawe.

21 Kiti nale na isali nin nshara, meng wan so nafo unan nsalin nshara. (na Meng litinighe na nta unan nsalin nshara ba kiti Kutellẹ ndi nanya nduka Kristi) nnan wunno alle na isali nan nya nshara.

To them that were without lawe be ca I as though I had bene without lawe (whe I was not without lawe as perteyninge to god but vnder a lawe as concerninge Christ) to wynne the that were without lawe.

22 Kiti nan nsali likara, meng so unan sali likara anan sali likara nso imon vat kiti anit vat bara ko niyagh Meng tucu among.

To the weake became I as weake to wynne the weake. In all thinge I fassioned my silfe to all men to save at ye lest waye some.

23 Nchin su imon vat bbara ubellen nliru Kutellẹ, bara Meng ma nan se upiru nan nya imari me.

And this I do for the gospels sake that I might have my parte therof.

24 Na anung yiru nwo nanyan cum vat anang cume din su ucume, ama waseme minere asa asere uduke? Bara nani sun ucum ilii uduke.

Perceave ye not how that they which runne in a course runne all yet but one receaveth the rewarde. So runne that ye maye obtayne.

25 Unan katwa ncum din zulu kidowo me ayita nin minu nnu nanyan vat nzulu kidowo me. Inung dinsu iseru uduk ulenge na udin nanuzu, ama arik din cum tinan seru uduk un salin nanuzu.

Euery man yt proveth masteryes abstaineth from all thinges. And they do it to obtayne a corruptible croune: but we to obtayne an vncorruptible croune:

26 Bara nani, na meng din cum sa ukpiluzu ba a na ndas libau nfunu ba.

I therfore so runne not as at an vncertayne thinge. So fyght I not as one yt beateth the ayer:

27 Ama meng kifu kidowo ning nning ta kinin kucin, bara kimalin wazi ninghe kiti namong, na meng wang iwa nazue mung ba.

but I tame my body and bringe it into subieccio lest after that I have preached to other I my silfe shuld be a castawaye.
