< 1 Corinthians 9 >

1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have not I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord?
Afiꞌ duꞌa mae, au nda uꞌena hak fo suraꞌ taꞌo ia fee nggi sa. Huu Lamatualain denu au uu dui-bꞌengga neu atahori soꞌal Eni. Au o parna ita Yesus, hita Lamatuan. Au nenepaꞌaꞌ uꞌubꞌue ukundoo o E, boe ma basa hei o mimihere neu E boe, huu au tatao ngga.
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.
Mae atahori laen nda simbo au dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ dedꞌenun sa o, te neꞌo ama bubꞌuluꞌ ena mae, Lamatuaꞌ denu au uu dui-bꞌengga Eni hehelu-fufulin neu nggi. Mete ma hei nau sangga eni bukti na, na, mete hei tetende-nemberii mara. Huu hei feꞌe nenepaꞌaꞌ mo hita Lamatuan!
3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
Au ae utaa baliꞌ mbali atahori mana hiiꞌ a fua salaꞌ neu au, taꞌo ia:
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
Hei duꞌa mae, au o Barnabas nda miꞌena hak fo simbo nanaa-nininuꞌ mia atahori fo hai minoriꞌ ra sa, do?
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?
Hei duꞌa mae, hai nda miꞌena hak fo sao ina Kristen mana bisa tungga hai mii milalao ue-tataos sia mamanaꞌ laen ra, do? Tao-tao te Lamatuaꞌ dedꞌenun laen ra ro sira sao nara boe. Lamatuaꞌ odi nara onaꞌ naa boe. Petrus o tao onaꞌ naa boe!
6 Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
Do, hei duꞌa mae, akaꞌ au o Barnabas mesaꞌ nggi musi tao ues sangga doiꞌ, fo misodꞌa ma minori atahori?
7 What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and does not eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and does not drink from the flock’s milk?
Hei dudꞌuꞌa mara naa, netehun saa? Mete soldꞌadꞌu ra dei. Ara nda hasa sira nanaan ma bua-baꞌun sa. Mete atahori mana ue-tao sia osi anggor a. Esa nda ena-ai e nae, “Afiꞌ mua anggor boa nara!” Mete manatadꞌa ra. Naꞌena hak fo hese susu mia bibꞌi fo ana naneaꞌ ra.
8 Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or does not the law also say the same thing?
Au nda olaꞌ taꞌo naa tunggaꞌ a au, atahori biasa ia dudꞌuꞌan. Huu Lamatualain Hohoro-lalane nara o rafadꞌe dalaꞌ onaꞌ naa boe.
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,
Sia baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen nenesuraꞌ oi, “Leleꞌ sapi a tatabꞌu are fo ou hendi deke nara mia mbulen, afiꞌ rapa bafan fo nda naa nala sa.” Hei duꞌa mae Lamatualain nae hela neu fo akaꞌ sapi a naa nala, do?
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.
Hokoꞌ! Ana o olaꞌ nae tao mataꞌ nema nggita boe! Huu nenesuraꞌ oi, “Atahori mana tatati rae, ma atahori mana senggi etu oru ra, leleꞌ ara tao ues, ara o bubꞌuluꞌ rae, dei fo sira simbo babꞌanggin boe.” Onaꞌ naa boe, maloleꞌ mete ma dedꞌenuꞌ atahori Kristen ra bisa simbo babꞌanggiꞌ mia sira ue-tataos nara mbule-bꞌoa nara. Huu leleꞌ hai minori nggi dala-dalaꞌ mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen, naa onaꞌ atahori mana tao tine-osi sa sela nggari. Dadꞌi leleꞌ hai minori basa, na, nda saa sa boe mete ma hai simbo nanaa-nininuꞌ mia nggi. Huu naa memaꞌ nandaa!
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
12 If others partake of this right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.
Atahori laen mana nanori nggi naꞌena hak fo simbo nanaat no sudꞌiꞌ a saa laen mia nggi, to? Boe ma hai naa, taꞌo bee? Hai hak ma lenaꞌ se fai! Te ama bubꞌuluꞌ ena. Hai nda parna miꞌisusuuꞌ mendiꞌ hai hak ma taꞌo naa sa. Hai miꞌitataaꞌ sia dalaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ, fo nda tao kai-baaꞌ mbali nggi sa. No taꞌo naa, ama hii rena Kristus Hara-lii Malolen fo hai dui neu nggi.
13 Do not 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?
Duꞌa sobꞌa! Malangga agama mana nalalao sia atahori Yahudi ra Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ naa, rasodꞌa mia tutunu-hohotuꞌ fo atahori ra rendiꞌ a. Boe ma atahori mana lole-lau sia mei tunu-hotuꞌ a, bisa raa sisi mia banda fo atahori rendiꞌ a.
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
Onaꞌ naa boe, Lamatualain helu-fuli nae, atahori mana laoꞌ dui-bꞌengga Kristus Hara-lii Malolen, rasodꞌa mia sira ue-tataon buna-bꞌoan. Onaꞌ naa fo matetuꞌ.
15 But I have used none of these things, and I do not 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.
Mae au uꞌena hak usodꞌa taꞌo naa o, au nda hii tao taꞌo naa sa. Au suraꞌ susura ia nda uꞌena masud fo hei fee sudꞌiꞌ a saa sa. Dooꞌ ena au mete-seꞌu nggi te nda oꞌe saa-saa sia nggi sa boe. Dadꞌi malole lenaꞌ au mate, te hokoꞌ na atahori duꞌa rakandooꞌ a rae au mulai hule-huleꞌ.
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 do not preach the Good News.
Mae au ufadꞌe atahori ukundooꞌ a soꞌal Kristus Hara-lii Malolen, te naa nda dadꞌi netehuuꞌ fo au olaꞌ naeꞌ sa. Au musi ufadꞌe atahori soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ, huu Lamatuaꞌ mana denu au taꞌo naa ena. Mete ma au nda tao tungga ue-tatao ngga onaꞌ naa sa, na, au soe ena ma! Neꞌo huku-dokiꞌ a dai au.
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.
Mete ma au tao ue-tataos ia ra huu akaꞌ au hihii-nanau ngga, na, au hambu sudꞌi a saa naa ra, onaꞌ atahori mana tao ues ra simbo nggadꞌiꞌ neuꞌ ena. Te mete ma au tao ue-tataos huu Lamatuaꞌ mana denu au, na naa laen. Ana namahere au unea sudꞌiꞌ a saa mafelit naa ra.
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.
Dadꞌi mete ma taꞌo naa, na nggadꞌi ngga saa? Au nda parlu simbo nggadꞌiꞌ sa? Au dui-bꞌengga Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen te nda oꞌe saa sa boe. Naa mana tao au umuhoꞌo seli. Boe ma nemehoꞌo ngga na, onaꞌ au nggadꞌi ngga boe. Dadꞌi mae au uꞌena hak mataꞌ-mataꞌ onaꞌ atahori mana naꞌena ue-tataos fo dui-bꞌengga Hara-lii Malolen, te au nda nau pake basa hak ngga naa ra sa.
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
Au ia, atahori bebꞌas mana tao ues tungga hihii-nanau ngga. Atahori nda raꞌena hak fo denu au tao ues ia do naa sa. Mae onaꞌ naa o, au tao ao ngga onaꞌ ate, fo basa atahori raꞌena hak denu au. No taꞌo naa, au bisa tulu-fali atahori hetar lenaꞌ fai fo ara raꞌatataaꞌ tungga Lamatualain.
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;
Dadꞌi mete ma au uꞌubꞌue o atahori Yahudi ra, na, tao ao ngga onaꞌ atahori Yahudi ra, fo tulu-fali atahori Yahudi ra fo rahine Lamatuaꞌ. Mete ma au uꞌubꞌue o atahori mana toꞌu rahereꞌ Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen, au tao tungga Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen, naa fo au bisa tulu-fali se fo rahine Lamatuaꞌ, (mae au uhine ae, tao tungga Hohoro-Lalanen naa, nda bisa tao au malole o Lamatualain sa).
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.
Mete ma au uꞌubꞌue o atahori nda feꞌe rahine Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen, au dadꞌi onaꞌ se boe, fo ꞌoo se risiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ. (Au nda mboꞌi hendi Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen fo Ana naꞌondaꞌ fee baꞌi Musa, te aleꞌ ia au usodꞌa endiꞌ Kristus Hohoro-lalanen).
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.
Soaꞌ neu atahori rala nda manabeꞌiꞌ ra sa, na au tao rala ngga onaꞌ nda manabeꞌiꞌ sa boe, fo bisa kokoe se risiꞌ Lamatualain. Soaꞌ neu basa atahori, au tao ao ngga onaꞌ se, naa fo ona bee na, au bisa tulu-fali fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori ruma.
23 Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
Au tao basa dalaꞌ ia ra, naa fo basa atahori bisa ramahere Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen. No taꞌo naa, hita bisa hambu babꞌanggiꞌ sia basa dala maloleꞌ ra, fo Lamatualain hii nae fee nggita.
24 Do not you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, so that you may win.
Au fee nekendandaaꞌ mia mana rela masesesuꞌ ra. Atahori hetar tungga relaꞌ, te manasesu maꞌahuluꞌ a, akaꞌ atahori esaꞌ a. Dadꞌi hei esa-esa musi melaꞌ mihereꞌ fo sesu miꞌihuluꞌ soaꞌ neu Lamatualain.
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.
Basa atahori mana tungga relaꞌ, musi relaꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ tungga neu akaꞌ saa fo mana nanoriꞌ a nafadꞌe, to? Ara tao ues ritaꞌ mamate nara onaꞌ naa, fo hambuꞌ a solo langgaꞌ sesesuꞌ mana dei fo mopoꞌ a. Te hita tao ues hambu nggadꞌiꞌ mana naꞌatataaꞌ losa doo na neu.
26 I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,
Dadꞌi au nda elaꞌ leli sa. Te au uhehere uhereꞌ fo elaꞌ ndoos losa nggaris mateꞌen. Mete ma neꞌesasamaꞌ au o mana matutuꞌ ra, na, au nda tutu anin sa, te au tutu dai se.
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.
Au tao tungga dalan ma unori no tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ fo bisa uꞌutataaꞌ. Huu mete ma au ufadꞌe atahori laen ra soꞌal Lamatualain, tao-tao te au mesaꞌ nggo ulena-langga hohoro-lalaneꞌ, neꞌo Lamatualain nda simbo au sia masesesuꞌ naa sa.
