1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
Mii die n yuli kaa? Mii tie Jesu tondo kaa yoo? Mii den laa ti Diedo Jesu kaa? Yii tie min den soani o Diedo po ki baa yaaba kaa?
2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my office of apostle in the Lord.
Baa nitoaba yaa nua ke n tie o Diedo tondo yinba wani nua ke n tie yeni, kelima yinba n tie ya maalima n doagidi ke n tie o Diedo tondo.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this.
Lani n tie min maadi maama ki baa ga n yuli leni yaaba n kuliti nni.
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
Naani tii pia li bali ki ya baadi ti jiema leni tin baa ñu yaala?
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?
Tii pia li bali ki taa pua yua n daani Jesu nani Jesu tondiba yaaba n sieni, leni wani o Diedo waamu leni pieli n tiendi maama?
6 Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
Bi mini leni banabasa bebe n baa tuuni li tuonli tiladi ki ya baadi li bonjekaala ti yema po.
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?
Hme baa kua minteela leni o yuceli piama? Hme baa hu i tilondi ki nan kan hmani li bonluonkaala? Hme baa kpaa u naakulu ki nan ño mi naahanma?
8 Do I say these things according to human authority? Or does not the Law also say the same thing?
Min maadi ya maama yeni, naani n maadi nani bi nisaaliba n nua maama bebe bi? Li balimaama wani ki yedi yeni kaa?
9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, "Do not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." Is it for the oxen that God cares,
Li diani Musa balimaama nni ki yedi: han da yilini o nua ñoabu takunkumi wan hmaadi ti disiandi ya yogunu. Naani U Tienu den yagini o yama i ne po yoo?
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 the hope of having a share.
Bi o maadi tinba bebe yaapo? Li diani yeni tinba yaapo saa. Li pundi ke yua n ko bu kpaabu leni yua n hmaadi ti siandi kuli n ya sugini ke bi baa baa bi biinu lienni.
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
Ti ya den buli yi kani ya bondi n tie U Tienu Fouma bonla, nani li baa bia ti ya yendi yi kani yi bonpiakaala?
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.
Nitoaba ya pia li bali ki baa ga yi kani handuna bonla, tinba kaa pia ki cie yoo? Ama tii den ga yi kani nani tin pia li bali ki baa ga maama. Ti den tuo ki ga fala buolu kuli ki juuni li po, ke bonlaba kuli n da pigini kilisiti laabaalihamo po.
13 Do you not 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?
Yii bani ke yaaba n tuuni U Tienu diegu tuonli baa baadi bi jiema U Tienu diegu nni kaa yoo? Ke yaaba n tuuni li padibinbinli kani baadi bi biinu baa padi yaala nni?
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
Likuli yenma o Diedo bili ke yaaba n tuuni o Laabaalihamo tuonli n ya baadi yaala n dagidi bi yema po o Laabaalihamo tuonli nni.
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.
Ama mii tieni nani n bali n puni nni u sanu maama baa waamu. Min diani yipo ya maama moala na mo, laa tie ke min baa liba ka. N ya kpe, lani n mani n po ki cie min tieni yeni. Niloba kan fie nni min kpiagidi n yuli yaala yaapo.
16 For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, because I am compelled to do this. Woe to me if I do not preach the Good News.
Min wangi o laabaalihamo yeni, n kan kpiagi n yuli lipo, kelima li tie n po yiladi. Fala n baa n po n ya wangi o laabaalihamo.
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.
N ya bi wangi o laabaalihamo n yama po, n bi baa ga i panpaani, ama min wangi o laabaalihamo tiladi ke laa tie n yama po yeni, n tuuni U Tienu n piani nni ya tuonli.
18 What then is my reward? That, when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
Lanwani n panpaani tie be? I tie line, ke n wangi o laabaalihamo lingi panpaaniba kuli, ki naa baa o laabaalihamo tondo n pia li bali ki ya baadi yaala.
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
Baa ke n die n yuli kaa tie oba kuli naacemo, n puni n yuli ki tua bi niba kuli naacemo, ki baa dani min fidi ya bianu kuli ban cua o Diedo kani.
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, not being myself under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;
N ya ye jufinba siiga, n tie nani n tie jufi yeni, ke min fidi ki dadi ba. N ya ye bani li balimaama n die yaaba siiga, n tua nani li die n moko yeni, ke min fidi ki dadi ki cuani li balimaama n die yaaba.
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.
Li balimaama n kaa die yaaba moko ya siiga, n tua nani maa die nni yeni, baa ke mi die nni, kelima kilisiti balimaama die nni, ke min fidi ki dadi li balimaama n kaa die yaaba.
22 To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, that I may by all means save some.
N ya ye yaaba n tadi U Tienu sanhoadima nni siiga, n tie nani yua n tadi yeni, ke min fidi ki gobidi ki cuani baa o Diedo kani. N moandi yeni li bonla kuli nni ki ya tie nani bi niba kuli n tie maama, ke lan tie yaala kuli nni min fidi ki faabi bi nitianba.
23 Now I do all things for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
N tiendi lankuli o laabaalihamo po, ke min fidi ki baa n mo ya biinu o laabaalihamo halimani nni.
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.
Yi bani ke yaaba n boagidi ki baa sani mi nuama kuli yen sani, ama niyendo bebe n baa baa i panpaani, bi yeni kaa? Sani mani maama ke yi mo baa ba i panpaani.
25 Now everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
Yua n bua ki tua liiga yua jelibuolu kuli nni yen kubi li kuali o gbanandi po li bonla boncianli po. O tiendi yeni kelima o bua ki baa ya panpaani n baa pendi po. Ama tinba wani tiendi yeni ki bua ki baa ya panpaani n kan pendi hali abada.
26 I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
Lanwani n tiini mi nuama, ama mii tiini yaali ka, n go tie nani yua n tiendi ya jeligu n tie ki kubi a nikula, mii kubi mi fawaama ka.
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 rejected.
N wangi n gbanandi fala ki paani ti cain, kelima mii bua ki waani nitoala o laabaalihamo, ki yuandi ki sua ke bi yedi ke mini nba ki dagidi, ki ñani nni.
