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?
के म स्वतन्त्र छैनँ? के म प्रेरित होइनँ? के मैले येशू हाम्रा प्रभुलाई देखेको छैनँ? के तिमीहरू परमप्रभुमा मेरा हातका सिप होइनौ र?
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.
म अरूको लागि प्रेरित नभए तापनि तिमीहरूको लागि त हुँ । तिमीहरू नै परमप्रभुमा मेरो प्रेरितको कामको प्रमाण हौ ।
3 My defense to those who examine me is this.
यो मलाई जाँच्न खोज्नेहरूलाई जवाफ होः
4 Have we no right to eat and to drink?
के हामीलाई खाने र पिउने अधिकार छैन?
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?
के अरू प्रेरितहरू, प्रभुका भाइहरू र केफासले गरेजस्तै हामीले पनि आफूसँग विश्वासी पत्नी लिएर हिँड्ने अधिकार छैन?
6 Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
अथवा के बारनाबास र मैले मात्र काम गर्नु पर्छ?
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?
कसले आफ्नै खर्चमा सिपाहीको रूपमा सेवा गर्छ? कसले दाखबारी लगाएर त्यसको फल खाँदैन र? कसले गाईवस्तु पालेर तिनीहरूबाट दूध पिउँदैन र?
8 Do I say these things according to human authority? Or does not the Law also say the same thing?
के मैले यी कुराहरू मानवीय अधिकारको आधारमा भनिरहेको छु? के व्यवस्थाले पनि यसै गर भन्दैन र?
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,
मोशाको व्यवस्थामा यस्तो लेखिएको छ, “दाइँ गर्दा गोरुलाई मोहोला नलगाओ ।” के परमेश्वरले साँच्चै गोरुहरूको मात्र वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ?
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.
के उहाँले हामीहरूका निम्ति नै यो बोलिरहनुभएको छैन र? यो हाम्रो निम्ति लेखिएको हो । किनभने खेत जोत्नेले बालीको आशा राखेर नै जोत्नुपर्छ र बाली चुट्नेले पनि बाली भित्र्याउने आशले नै चुट्नुपर्छ ।
11 If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
यदि हामीले तिमीहरूका बीचमा आत्मिक कुराहरू छर्यौँ भने तिमीहरूबाट भौतिक कुराहरूको कटनी गर्ने काम अति भयो र?
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.
यदि तिमीहरूबाट अरूहरूले हकको दाबी गर्छन् भने के हामीलाई त्योभन्दा बढता हक छैन र? तापनि हामीले यो हकको दाबी गरेनौँ । बरु, ख्रीष्टको सुसमाचारमा बाधा नबनौँ भनेर हामीले सबै सह्यौँ ।
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?
के मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्नेले मन्दिरबाट नै खानेकुरा पाउँछन् भन्ने तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन? वेदीमा सेवा गर्नेले वेदीमा चढाइएको कुराको हिस्सा पाउँछ भन्ने तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन र?
14 Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
त्यसरी नै सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्नेले त्यसैबाट जीविका चलाओस् भनेर परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभयो ।
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.
तर मैले यी कुनै पनि हकहरूको दाबी गरिनँ । र मेरो लागि केही गरियोस् भनेर म यो लेख्दिनँ । यो गर्व गर्ने कुरादेखि कसैले मलाई वञ्चित गर्छ भने म बरु मर्न तयार छु ।
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.
मैले सुसमाचार प्रचार गरेँ भनेर मैले घमण्ड गर्ने कारण नै छैन, किनभने मैले यो गर्नुपर्छ । यदि मैले सुसमाचार प्रचार गरिनँ भने मलाई धिक्कार छ ।
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.
किनकि यदि मैले आफूखुसी यसो गरेको छु भने मैले इनाम पाउँछु । तर यो आफूखुसी होइन भने मलाई सुम्पिएको जिम्मेवारी अझ पनि मसँग बाँकी नै छ ।
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.
त्यसो भए मेरो इनाम के हो? यही हो कि जब म प्रचार गर्छु, सित्तैँमा सुसमाचार प्रचार गरूँ र सुसमाचरमा मेरो हकको पूर्ण प्रयोग नगरूँ ।
19 For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
किनकि म सबै कुरामा स्वतन्त्र भए तापनि धेरैलाई जित्न सकौँ भनेर म सबैको दास भएँ ।
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;
यहूदीहरूलाई जित्नको लागि म यहूदीजस्तै बनेँ । व्यवस्थाको अधीनमा भएकाहरूलाई जित्नको निम्ति म व्यवस्थाको अधीनमा भएको जस्तै बनेँ । म आफैँ व्यवस्थाको अधीनमा नभए तापनि मैले यसो गरेँ ।
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.
म आफैँ परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाबाट बाहिर नभएर ख्रीष्टको व्यवस्थामा भए तापनि व्यवस्थाबाट बाहिर भएकाहरूलाई जित्नको निम्ति म व्यवस्थाबाट बाहिर भएजस्तै बनेँ । व्यवस्थाबाट बाहिर भएकाहरूलाई जित्न सकूँ भनेर मैले यसो गरेँ ।
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.
कमजोरहरूलाई जित्न सकूँ भनेर कमजोरहरूको लागि म कमजोर बनेँ । सबै उपायहरूद्वारा केहीलाई बचाउन सकूँ भनेर म सबै मानिसहरूका लागि सबै कुरा बनेको छु ।
23 Now I do all things for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
सुसमाचारको खातिर म सबै कुराहरू गर्छु ताकि यसका आशिष्हरूमा म सहभागी हुन सकूँ ।
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.
दौडमा सबै मानिसहरू दौडिन्छन्, तर एक जनाले मात्र पुरस्कार पाउँछ भन्ने कुरा के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन? त्यसैले, पुरस्कार पाउने गरी दौड ।
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.
एउटा खेलाडी सबै तालिमहरूमा आत्मसंयमी हुन्छ । तिनीहरूले नाश हुने माला पाउनको लागि यसो गर्छन्, तर हामी नाश नहुने माला पाऔँ भनेर दौडन्छौँ ।
26 I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
त्यसैले, म बिनाउदेश्य वा हावामा दौडन्नँ ।
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.
तर म आफ्नो शरीरलाई वशमा राख्छु र यसलाई दासजस्तै बनाउँछु, ताकि प्रचार गरेपछि म आफैँचाहिँ अयोग्य नबनूँ ।
