1 Korintoarrei 9

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

Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? and are not ye 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, yet doubtless I am to you: for ye are in the Lord the seal of my apostleship.

3 Ene defensá examinatzen nautenac baithara, haur da:

And this is my answer to them that call me to account: have we not power to eat and to drink?

4 Ala extugu bothere iateco eta edateco?

have

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

we not power to lead about with us a sister a wife as well as other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

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

Or is it I only and Barnabas, that have not power 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?

Who ever goes a warfare at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and doth not eat of the fruit of it? or who feedeth a flock, and doth not eat of the milk of the flock?

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

Do I speak these things as a man only?

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

or saith not the law the same also? for it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." Now doth God take care 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 doth He say this indeed for our sakes? For it is certainly written for our sakes, that he, who ploweth, might plow in hope; and that he, who thresheth in hope, should partake of his hope.

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

If we then have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we 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 this power over you, may not we rather? though we have not used this power; but we bear all things, least we should cause any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

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

Do ye not know, that they who are employed about the sacrifices have their food from the temple? and they, who attend at the altar, are partakers with the altar?

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

So also the Lord hath ordained, that those who preach the Gospel should 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 availed myself of none of these things. Nor have I written these things, that it might be so done as to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any one should make this 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 preach the gospel, yet I have no ground for boasting; because I am under necessity to do it: and wo is me if I do not preach the Gospel.

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

Now if I do this willingly, I have a reward; and if unwillingly, yet I am intrusted with the commission, and I must execute it.

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

What is my reward then but this? that when I preach I may make the gospel of Christ not expensive, that so I may not abuse my power in the gospel.

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

For though I am free from all, yet I have made myself a servant to all, that I might 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 might gain the Jews; that is, to those, who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law:

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

and to those without the law as without the law, (not being without law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain those who are without the 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 the weak, that I might gain the weak: I became all things to all men, that I might by every means save some.

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

And this I do for the sake of the gospel, that I may be a fellow partaker of it.

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

Know ye not, that those, who run in a race, do all indeed run, but one only receiveth the prize? So run 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 that enters the lists is temperate in all things: they indeed do it that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible one.

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

I therefore so run, not as unobserved: I so fight, not as one that beateth the air:

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

but I mortify my body and bring it into subjection, least after having preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
