1 Korintoarrei 9

1 Eznaiz Apostolu? eznaiz libre? eztut Iesus Christ gure Iauna ikussi? etzarete çuec ene lana gure Iaunean?

Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen the Lord Jesus? are you not my work in the Lord?

2 Baldin bercén Apostolu ezpanaiz, çuen berere banaiz: ecen ene Apostolutassunaren cigulua çuec çarete gure Iaunean.

If I am not an apostle to others, but I am to you at least: for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

3 Ene defensá examinatzen nautenac baithara, haur da:

My defence to those calling me in question is this.

4 Ala extugu bothere iateco eta edateco?

Have we not a right to eat and drink?

5 Ala eztugu bothere emazte arreba baten gucietan erabilteco, berce Apostoluéc, eta Iaunaren anayéc, eta Cephasec beçala?

Have we not a right to lead about a sister as a wife, as the other apostles also, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

6 Edo, nic neurorrec eta Barnabasec eztugu bothere lanic ez eguiteco?

Have I and Barnabas alone not the right to forbear working?

7 Norc guerlaric eguiten du bere despendioz behinere? norc landatzen du mahasti, eta haren fructutic eztu iaten? edo norc bazcatzen du arthaldea, eta arthaldearen eznetic eztu edaten?

Whoever goes to war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard, and does not eat the fruit of it? or who shepherdizes a flock, and does not eat of the milk of the flock?

8 Ala guiçonaren arauez gauça hauc erraiten ditut? ala Legueac-ere eztitu gauça hauc erraiten?

Whether do I speak these things according to a man? or does not the law indeed say these things?

9 Ecen Moysesen Leguean scribatua da, Eztraucac ahoa lothuren idi bihitzen ari denari. Ala artha du idiéz Iaincoac?

For in the law of Moses it has been written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that plows. Is there a care to God for oxen,

10 Ala haur guciz guregatic erraiten du? segur haur guregatic scribatua da: ecen sperançatan behar du laboratzen duenac, laboratu: eta bihitzen duenac participant içateco sperançatan.

or does he speak it altogether on account of us? For it was written on account of us, That the one plowing ought to plow in hope, and the one threshing in hope of partaking.

11 Baldin guc çuey gauça spiritualac erein badrauzquiçuegu, gauça handia da çuen carnalac biltzen baditugu?

If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

12 Baldin berceac bothere hunetan çuen artean participant badirade, ceren ez cineçago gu? baina eztugu bothere hunez vsatu vkan: aitzitic gauça guciac suffritzen ditugu, Christen Euangelioari empatchuric batre eztemogunçát.

If others partake of your bounty, shall not we the more? But we have not used this privilege, but we bear all things, in order that we may not give a hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

13 Eztaquiçue ecen sacrificioac eguiten dituztenéc, gauça sacrificatuetaric iaten dutela? eta aldarean emplegatzen diradenéc, aldarearequin perticipatzen dutela?

Do you not know that those working in the sacrifices eat those things of the temple; and those serving the altar partake of the altar?

14 Hala gure Iaunac-ere ordenatu vkan draue Euangelioa predicatzen duteney, Euangeliotic vici diraden.

So also the Lord has commanded those preaching the gospel to live of the gospel.

15 Badaric-ere nic gauça hautaric batez-ere eztut vsatu vkan. Eta gauça hauc eztitut scribatu, hala niri eguin daquidançat: ecen hobe nuque hil nendin ecen ez nehorc ene glorificamendua ezdeusetara deçan.

But I have used none of these things. But I have not written these things that it may be so in me: for it is good for me rather to die than that any one shall make void my boasting.

16 Ecen Euangelizatzen badut-ere, eztut ceren gloria nadin: ecen necessitateac eraguiten draut: eta maledictione niri-baldin euangeliza ezpadeçat.

For if I preach the gospel, there is no boasting to me; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I may not preach the gospel.

17 Ecen baldin gogotic haur eguiten badut, sari dut: baina baldin gogoz garaitic eguiten badut, dispensationea eman içan çait.

For if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if unwillingly, I have been intrusted with a dispensation.

18 Cer sari dut beraz? Euangelioa predicatzen dudanean, Christen Euangelioa deus hartu gabe predica deçadan, ezteçadan gaizqui vsat neure bothereaz Euangelioan.

Then what is my reward? that preaching the gospel, I may render the gospel free from charge, in order that I may not use my right in the gospel.

19 Ecen gucietaric libre banaiz-ere, gucien suiectioneco neure buruä eguin vkan dut, gende guehiago irabaz deçadançát.

For being free from all, I rendered myself servant to all, that I may gain the more.

20 Eta eguin içan natzaye Iuduey Iudu beçala, Iuduac irabaz ditzadançát: Leguearen azpico diradeney, Leguearen azpico baninz beçala, Leguearen azpian diradenac irabaz ditzadançát.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I may gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, not myself being under law, that I may gain those under the law;

21 Legue gabey Legue gabe baninz beçala, (Legue gabe ezpanaiz-ere Iaincoagana, baina Christen Leguearen azpico) Legue gabeac irabaz ditzadançát.

to those without law, I became as without law, not being without the law of God, but under the law of Christ, that I may gain those without law.

22 Eguin içan natzaye infirmoey infirmo beçala, infirmoac irabaz ditzadançát: guciey eguin içan natzaye gauça gucia, guciz batzu salua ditzadançat.

To the weak I became as weak, that I may gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I may indeed save some.

23 Eta haur eguiten dut Euangelioagatic, çuequin batean participant hartan eguin nadinçát.

But I do all these things for the sake of the gospel, that I may be its fellow-partaker.

24 Eztaquiçue ecen stadioan laster eguiten dutenéc, guciéc laster eguiten badutela, baina batec precioa hartzen duela? hala laster eguiçue non har baiteçaqueçue.

Do you not know that those running in the stadium, indeed all run, and one receives the prize? So run, that you may receive it.

25 Eta combatitzen den gucia, regimenduz gauça gucietan vici da: eta hec eguiten duté coroa corrumpituren den baten vkaiteagatic: baina guc corrumpituren eztenagatic.

But every one contesting is abstinent in all things, they indeed also that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

26 Nic bada hala laster eguiten dut, ez eztaquidala nola: hala bataillatzen naiz, ez aireari baneraunsa beçala.

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly, do I thus fight not as beating the air:

27 Baina gaztigatzen dut neure gorputza, eta suiectionetara erekarten: eceinere maneraz bercey, predicatu ondoan, neuror reprobatu eriden eznadinçát.

but I keep my body under, and enslave it, lest having preached the gospel to others, I myself may become disapproved.
