Korineto I. 9
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1A OLE anei au he lunaolelo? Aole anei au ho kanaka kuokoa? Aole anei au i ike ia Iesu Kristo, i ko kakou Haku? Aole anei oukou ka'u i hana maloko o ka Haku?
1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?
2Ina aole au he lunaolelo ia hai, he oiaio no, ia oukou no; no ka mea, o oukou no ka hoailona o ka'u lunaolelo ana maloko o ka Haku.
2If 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.
3Eia ka'u olelo i ka poe hoohewa mai ia'u.
3My defense to those who examine me is this:
4Aole anei e pono ia makou ke ai a me ka inu?
4Have we no right to eat and to drink?
5Aole anei e pono ia makou, ke kono mai i kaikuwahine, a i wahine na makou, e like me kekahi o na lunaolelo, a me na kaikuaana o ka Haku, a me Kepa?
5Have 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?
6O maua wale no a me Barenaba, aole anei e hiki ia maua ke hooki i ka hana?
6Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
7Owai ka mea hele i ke kaua me ka uku ole ia mai? Owai ka mea kanu i ka malawaina, a ai ole i kona hua? Owai hoi ka i hanai i na holoholona, a ai ole i ka waiu o na holoholona?
7What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from the flock’s milk?
8He olelo kanaka anei keia mea a'u e olelo nei? Aole anei i olelo mai ke kanawai i keia mau mea?
8Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing?
9No ka mea, ua palapalaia mai ma ke kanawai o Mose, Mai hoopani i ka waha o ka bipi nana e hehi i ka palaoa. Ke malama nei anei ke Akua i na bipi?
9For 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,
10Ke olelo mai nei anei oia ia mea no kakou wale no? Ua palapalaia no kakou no, i lana ai ka manao o ka mea mahiai i kona mahi ai ana; a o ka mea hoiliili me ka manaolana e loaa ia ia ka mea i lana ai kona manao.
10or 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.
11Ina makou i lulu aku i ko ka Uhane maluna o oukou, he mea nui anei ke hoiliili makou i ko oukou mea na ke kino?
11If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
12Ina i loaa keia pono maluna o oukou na kekahi poe e, aole anei he oiaio, na makou kekahi? Aole nae makou i lawe i keia pono; ua hoomanawanui no makou i na mea a pau, o keakeaia ka euanelio a Kristo ia makou.
12If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we didn’t use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.
13Aole anei oukou i ike i ka poe hana ma na mea laa, ua ai lakou i na mea laa? a me ka poe lawelawe ma ke kuahu, ua ai lakou i ko ko kuahu?
13Don’t 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?
14Pela no hoi i kauoha mai ai ka Haku, o ka poe hai aku i ka euanelio, e ola no lakou ma ka euanelio.
14Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
15Aole hoi au i lawe i kekahi o keia mau mea; aole hoi au i palapala aku i keia, i hanaia mai ia'u pela; no ka mea, he mea maikai ia'u ka make, he mea ino ke hoonele mai kekahi ia'u i keia kaena ana.
15But I have used none of these things, and I don’t 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.
16A ina i hai aku au i ka euanelio, aole i loaa ia'u ka mea e kaena ai; no ka mea, ua kauia mai keia hana maluna o'u; auwe hoi au, ke hai ole aku au i ka euanelio.
16For 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 don’t preach the Good News.
17A ina e hana au i keia mea me ka makemake, ua loaa ia'u ka uku; aka, ina me ka makemake ole, ua haawiia mai he oihana na'u.
17For 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.
18Heaha hoi ka'u e ukuia mai? Eia, i ka'u ao ana aku, hai aku no au i ka euanelio a Kristo me ka uku ole ia mai, o lawe hewa au i ka'u pono ma ka euanelio.
18What 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.
19He kanaka kuokoa an, aka hoi, na hookauwa aka no wau na na kanaka a pau, i loaa nui mai lakou ia'u.
19For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
20A iwaena au o na Iudaio, ua like au me ka Iudaio, i loaa'i ia'u na Iudaio: a iwaena au o ka poe ma ke kanawai, ma ke kanawai hoi au, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe ma ke kanawai.
20To 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;
21A iwaena au o ka poe kanawai ole, na like hoi au me ka mea kanawai ole, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe ka nawai ole. (Aole hoi au i haalele i ko ke Akua kanawai, ma ke kanawai o Kristo waa.)
21to 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.
22Iwaena au o ka poe makau wale, ua like me ka mea makau wale hoi wau, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe makau wale Iwaena o na kanaka a pau, lilo ae la au i na mea a pau, i ola io ai kekahi ia'u.
22To 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.
23Ke hana nei no hoi au i keia, no ka euanelio, i loaa pu ai ia'a ko laila hope.
23Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
24Aole anei oukou i ike i ka poe kukini, holo no lakou a pau, aka, hookahi wale no e loaa ka uku? Ma ka loaa oukou e kukini ai.
24Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, so that you may win.
25O ka poe a pau i hooikaika i ka uku, ua pakiko no lakou ma na mea a pau. Ma ka lei mae wale lakou; aka, ma ka lei mae ole kakou.
25Every 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.
26No ia mea, ke holo nei au me ke kulanalana ole; ke mokomoko nei au, aole hoi e like me ka mea e mokomoko ana i ka makani.
26I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,
27Ke uumi nei au i kuu kino a lanakila maluna iho, o lilo paha wau i ke apono ole ia, mahope o kuu ao ana aku ia hai.
27but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.
