Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Am not I free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord?
1Ya nga tia mwet sukosok se? Ya nga tia mwet sap? Ku nga soenna liyal Jesus Leum lasr? Ac kowos tia fokin orekma luk nu sin Leum?
2And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
2Mwet saya uh finne tia akilen lah nga sie mwet sap, tuh kowos eteyu! Ke sripen moul lowos kupasryang nu sin Leum, kowos sifacna mwe akpwayeye lah nga sie mwet sap.
3My defence with them that do examine me is this.
3Pacl mwet uh akkolukyeyu uh, pa inge top luk nu selos:
4Have not we power to eat and to drink?
4Ya tia fal nga in eis mwe mongo ac mwe nim ke orekma luk uh?
5Have we not power to carry about a woman, a sister, as well as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
5Ya ac tia fal nga in eis sie mutan Christian kiuk in wiyu in fufahsryesr luk, oana mwet sap ngia ac mwet wien Leum ac Peter elos oru?
6Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?
6Ku mea, ya nga na Barnabas pa enenu in orekma tuh kut in suk ma kut in moul kac?
7Who serveth as a soldier at any time, at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth the flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
7Ma ya solse se su enenu in sifacna moli ma el orekmakin ke pacl in mweun uh? Pia mwet ima se su tia kang fahko ke ima grape lal sifacna? Su mwet shepherd se su tia nim titi ke sheep natul sifacna?
8Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say these things?
8Mwe srikasrak ma nga fahk inge tia ma sik sifacna, a Ma Sap lal Moses fahk oapana.
9For it is written in the law of Moses: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
9Kut rit in Ma Sap fahk mu, “Nik kowos kapriya oalin soko cow mukul ke kom orekmakunul in lolongya wheat uh.” Na fuka, ya God El nunku yohk ke cow mukul mukena?
10Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope; and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.
10Ya El tia fahk ma inge kacsr ke El fahk ouingan? Aok, pwaye lah ma ingan tuh simla kacsr. Mwet se ma pikin fohk uh in akfisrasryela, ac mwet se ma kosrani, fah oru orekma lalos ac finsrak tuh elos fah ipeis ke ma kosrani sac.
11If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?
11Kut yukwiya fita lun ngun insiowos — ya tia fal tuh kut in eis kosrani lasr suwos ke mwe kasru lun mano?
12If others be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest we should give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
12Fin oasr ku lun mwet saya in eis ma inge suwos me, ya ku lasr uh tia yohk lukelos? Tusruktu kut tiana orekmakin ku se inge. A kut muteng ma nukewa in oru tuh in wangin kutena mwe tukulkul in kutong Pweng Wo ke Christ.
13Know you not, that they who work in the holy place, eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar, partake with the altar?
13Kowos etu na lah mwet su kulansap in Tempul elos eis mwe mongo nalos ke ma lun Tempul, ac ke elos kisakunang mwe kisa fin loang uh elos eis ip lalos kac.
14So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel.
14In ouiya sacna, Leum God El sap tuh elos su fahkak Pweng Wo fah eis mwe moul lalos ke fahkak lalos ke Pweng Wo.
15But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die, rather than that any man should make my glory void.
15Tusruktu nga soenna orekmakin suwohs inge, ac nga tia pac simis ma inge in pwanang ngan mutawauk in orekmakin keik sifacna. Mansis nga in misa liki tuh sie mwet in eisla likiyu suwohs luk in konkin ke ma inge!
16For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me, for a necessity lieth upon me: for woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel.
16Wangin sripa nga in konkin lah nga fahkak Pweng Wo. God El nuna sapkin nu sik tuh nga in oru. Ac fuka kolukiya nu sik nga fin tia fahkak Pweng Wo!
17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me:
17Nga fin oru orekma luk ke lungse luk sifacna, na fal nga in eis mwe moul kac. Tusruktu nga oru oana kunokon se nu sik, mweyen God El ase nu sik in oru orekma se inge.
18What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
18Na mea molin ma nga oru uh? Ac pa na inge: nga insewowo in fahkak Pweng Wo ac tiana siyuk in moul nu sik, ac nga tia pacna suk in akfalyeyuk orekma luk ke Pweng Wo uh.
19For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.
19Nga mwet sukosok se, ac nga tia mwet kohs lun kutena mwet. Tusruktu nga sifacna oru tuh nga in mwet kohs lun mwet nukewa, tuh nga in pwanma mwet puspis tuh elos in lulalfongi in Christ.
20And I became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:
20Ke nga orekma yurin mwet Jew, nga moul oana sie mwet Jew, tuh nga in kifasulosme. Finne nga sifacna nga tia oan ye Ma Sap lal Moses, a nga moul oana ngan oan ye Ma Sap ke nga orekma yorolos su oan ye Ma Sap, tuh nga in oayapa kifasulosme.
21To them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under the law. To them that were without the law, as if I were without the law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that were without the law.
21In lumah sacna, ke nga orekma yurin mwet sayen mwet Jew, nga moul oana sie selos, ac nga tia fahsr tukun Ma Sap lun mwet Jew, tuh nga in pwanma mwet sayen mwet Jew nu ke moul. Tia kalmen ouiya se inge pa nga seakos ma sap lun God, tuh pwayeiya uh nga oan ye ma sap lun Christ.
22To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.
22Inmasrlon mwet su munas in lulalfongi, nga oru tuh nga in munas oana sie selos, tuh nga in kifasulosme. Ke ma inge nga ekla ma nukewa nu sin mwet nukewa, tuh nga in ku in molela kutu selos ke kutena inkanek nga ku in orekmakin.
23And I do all things for the gospel’s sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.
23Nga oru ma inge nukewa ke sripen Pweng Wo, tuh nga in wi ipeis ke mwe insewowo kac.
24Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.
24Kowos etu na lah mwet kasrusr puspis wi kasrusr akutun, a mwet sefanna selos eis molin kutangla. Ke ma inge, kasrusr ouingan tuh kowos in ku in eis molin kutangla.
25And every one that striveth for the mastery, refraineth himself from all things: and they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible one.
25Mwet srital nukewa eisalosyang nu ke mwe akpah upa puspis, tuh elos fah ku in sunya sie tefuro sukawil, a kut orekma nu ke sie tefuro su ma na nwe tok.
26I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air:
26Pa oru nga kasrusr suwosna in sun saflaiya, ac nga oana sie mwet fisik su tia fisik ke wangin sripa.
27But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.
27Nga arulana akkeye monuk ke puopo, ac sifacna karinginyu tuh nga in tia sufalla tukun nga fahkak Pweng Wo ac pwanma mwet nu ke moul in srike.
