1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?
Nisem apostelj? nisem svoboden? nisem li Jezusa Kristusa Gospoda našega videl? niste li vi moje delo v Gospodu?
2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
Če drugim nisem apostelj, ali vam sem, kajti pečat mojega aposteljstva ste vi v Gospodu.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
Moje zagovarjanje tem, kteri me sodijo, je to:
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
Jeli nimamo oblasti jesti in piti?
5 Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
Jeli nimamo oblasti sestro ženo s seboj voditi, kakor tudi drugi aposteljni in bratje Gospodovi in Kefa?
6 Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
Ali sam jaz in Barnaba nimava oblasti to delati?
7 What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from the flock’s milk?
Kdo služi za vojnika na lastne stroške kdaj? kdo sadi vinograd in od njegovega sada ne jé? ali kdo pase čredo in od mleka črede ne jé?
8 Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing?
Jeli po človeku to govorim? ne govori li to tudi postava?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,
Kajti v Mojzesovej postavi je pisano: "Ne zaveži gobca mlatečemu volu." Jeli Bog skrbi za vole?
10 or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.
Govori li vsakakor za nas? Dà, za voljo nas je pisano: "Z upanjem mora orati, kdor orje, in kdor mlati, od upanja svojega del imeti z upanjem."
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
Če smo vam mi duhovno posejali, veliko li je, če bomo mi vaše meseno želi?
12 If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we didn’t use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.
Če imajo drugi del te vaše oblasti, čemu ne s tem bolje mi? Ali nismo se poslužili te oblasti, nego vse prenašamo, da kakošne ovire ne damo evangelju Kristusovemu.
13 Don’t you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?
Ne veste, da ti, kteri opravljajo sveto službo, od svetinje jedó, kteri služijo oltarju, da se z oltarjem delé?
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
Tako je tudi Gospod naredil, da ti, kteri oznanjujejo evangelj, od evangelja žive.
15 But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.
Jaz pa ničesar tega nisem upotrebil in nisem napisal tega, da bi se tako zgodilo z menoj, kajti rajši umrem, nego da mi kdo mojo slavo uniči.
16 For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News.
Ker če oznanjam evangelj, ni mi se hvaliti, ker mi je to treba, a gorjé mi, če evangelja ne oznanjam.
17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.
Kajti če iz dobre volje to delam, plačo imam; če pa po sili, oskrbništvo mi je zaupano.
18 What then is my reward? That when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
Kaj je torej moja plača? da oznanjujoč evangelj zastonj dam evangelj Kristusov, da bi hudo ne upotrebil svoje oblasti v evangelji.
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
Kajti ko sem bil svoboden od vseh, storil sem se suženj vseh, da bi jih več pridobil.
20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;
In bil sem Judom kakor Jud, da bi Jude pridobil; a tem, kteri so bili pod postavo, kakor pod postavo, da bi pridobil te, kteri so bili pod postavo.
21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
Tistim pa, kteri so bili brez postave, kakor da bi bil brez postave, (dasi ravno ne brez postave Bogu, nego v postavi Kristusu, ) da bi pridobil tiste, kteri so bili brez postave.
22 To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.
Bil sem slabim kakor slab, da bi pridobil slabe. Vsem sem bil vse, da bi vsakakor neke zveličal.
23 Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
To pa delam za voljo evangelja, da bi del od njega prejel.
24 Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, so that you may win.
Ne veste, da tisti, kteri na tekališči tekó, vsi tekó, a eden prejema darilo? Tako tecite, da bi prejeli.
25 Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
Vsak pa, kteri se bori, zdržuje se od vsega: oni torej, da dobé strohljiv venec, a mi nestrohljiv.
26 I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,
Jaz torej tako tečem, ne kakor na negotovo; tako se borim, ne kakor bi po zraku mahal.
27 but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.
Nego tarem svoje telo in usužnjujem, da ne bi kako drugim oznanjevavši sam zavržljiv bil.
