1 Korintoarrei 9

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

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

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

if to others I am not an apostle — yet doubtless to you I am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.

3 Ene defensá examinatzen nautenac baithara, haur da:

My defence to those who examine me in this;

4 Ala extugu bothere iateco eta edateco?

have we not authority to eat and to drink?

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

have we not authority a sister — a wife — to lead about, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

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

or only I and Barnabas, have we not authority — not to work?

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?

who doth serve as a soldier at his own charges at any time? who doth plant a vineyard, and of its fruit doth not eat? or who doth feed a flock, and of the milk of the flock doth not eat?

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

According to man do I speak these things? or doth not also the law 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 hath been written, 'thou shalt not muzzle an ox treading out corn;' for the oxen doth God care?

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 because of us by all means doth He say [it]? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading [ought] of his hope to partake in hope.

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

If we to you the spiritual things did sow — great [is it] if we your fleshly things do reap?

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 do partake of the authority over you — not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ.

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

Have ye not known that those working about the things of the temple — of the temple do eat, and those waiting at the altar — with the altar are partakers?

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

so also did the Lord direct to those proclaiming the good news: of the good news to live.

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.

And I have used none of these things; neither did I write these things that it may be so done in my case, for [it is] good for me rather to die, than that any one may make my glorying void;

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

for if I may proclaim good news, it is no glorying for me, for necessity is laid upon me, and woe is to me if I may not proclaim good news;

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

for if willing I do this, I have a reward; and if unwillingly — with a stewardship I have been entrusted!

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

What, then, is my reward? — that proclaiming good news, without charge I shall make the good news of the Christ, not to abuse my authority in the good news;

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

for being free from all men, to all men I made myself servant, that the more I might gain;

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

and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, that those under law I might gain;

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

to those without law, as without law — (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) — that I might gain those without law;

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

I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some.

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

And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become;

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

have ye not known that those running in a race — all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain;

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

and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

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

I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air;

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

but I chastise my body, and bring [it] into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others — I myself may become disapproved.
