1A hoep la ka om moenih a? Caeltueih la ka om moenih a? Mamih Boeipa Jesuh ka hmuh moenih a? Nangmih te Boeipa ah ka kutngo la na om uh moenih a?
1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?
2Hlang tloe taengah caeltueih la ka om pawt cakhaw nangmih ham ka om ngawn dae ta. Kai kah caeltueih coengnah kutnoek tah Boeipa ah nangmih na om uh ta.
2Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3Kai aka boelh rhoek taengah kai kah olthungnah tah he coeng ni.
3This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
4Ka caak tih ka ok ham saithainah la ka khueh uh pawt moenih a?
4Have we no right to food and to drink?
5A tloe caeltueih rhoek, Boeipa kah manuca rhoek neh Kephas bangla ngannu, ka yuu khaw khuen ham saithainah ka khueh uh pawt moenih a?
5Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?
6Kai neh Barnabas bueng long khaw saii pawt ham saithainah ka khueh rhoi moenih a?
6Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?
7Amah buhcun neh aka vathoh noek te unim? Misur a tue dae a thaih aka ca pawt te unim? Tuping a dawn tih tuping kah suktui aka o pawt te unim?
7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?
8Hekah he hlang lamloh ka thui moenih. Hekah he olkhueng long khaw a thui bal moenih.
8Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?
9Moses kah olkhueng dongah a daek coeng ta. Cang aka til vaito te a ka poi boeh. Vaito ham te Pathen a ngai a huet moenih a?
9For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
10Mamih ham khaw a thui van ta. Mamih ham khaw a daek coeng.Aka thol loh ngaiuepnah neh a thol ham a kuek. Cangtil long khaw ngaiuepnah neh a cabol ham om ta.
10Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.
11Kaimih loh nangmih taengah mueihla cangti ka tuh uh. Tedae kaimih loh nangmih kah te pumsa la ka at uh koinih rhoekoe aih ni ta.
11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
12A tloe rhoek loh nangmih kah saithainah he a cabol uh atah kaimih ngai pawt nim? Tedae hekah saithainah he ka rhoidoeng uh moenih. Tedae boeih ka ueh uh daengah ni tomtanah pakhat khaw om mueh la Khrih kah olthangthen te kam paek uh eh.
12If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
13Aka cim la aka saii rhoek loh Bawkim kah te a caak uh te na ming uh pawt nim? hmueihtuk aka bulbo rhoek loh hmueihtuk taengkah te a bawn ta.
13Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?
14Te vanbangla olthangthen aka doek rhoek te khaw olthangthen neh hing saeh tila Boeipa loh a uen coeng.
14In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
15Tedae kai loh hekah he khat khaw ka rhoidoeng moenih. Tekah bangla kai taengah om sak ham khaw hekah he ka daek moenih. Kai kah thangpomnah te a tlongtlai sak pawt atah ka duek te kai ham lat then ngai.
15But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.
16Olthangthen ka phong atah kai ham thangpomnah om mahpawt nim? A kueknah khaw kai ham tah lalh bal. Phong kolla om cakhaw anunae kai ham aih he.
16Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
17He he thahlue la ka saii atah thapang ka dang. Tedae ka ngaihak akhaw hnokhoemnah he kai n'kungsut coeng.
17If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.
18Te koinih kai ham mebang thapang nim aka om. Olthangthen ka phong he a yoeyap la ka khueh mai eh. Olthangthen dongah ka saithainah te ka lawn sak moenih.
18What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.
19Hlang boeih taeng lamkah aka loeih la ka om dae hlang boeih taengah kamah ka pinyen uh. Te daengah ni muep ka dang eh.
19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
20Judah rhoek taengah Judah la ka om daengah ni Judah rhoek te ka dang eh. Kamah tah olkhueng hmuiah ka om pawt dae olkhueng hmuikah rhoek taengah olkhueng hmuikah bangla ka om daengah ni olkhueng hmuikah rhoek te ka dang eh.
20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.
21Lailak rhoek taengah lailak bangla ka om dae Pathen taengah lailak la ka om pawt tih Khrih kah a rhimong dongah ni ka om. Te daengah ni lailak rhoek te ka dang eh.
21To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.
22Tattloel taengah tattloel la ka om daengah ni tattloel rhoek te ka dang eh. Hlang boeih taengah cungkuem la ka om daengah ni pakhat khaw ka khang tangloeng eh.
22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
23Olthangthen ham a soep ka saii daengah ni te te aka bawn la ka om eh.
23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
24Phalong khat ah aka yong rhoek loh boeih yong uh ngawn dae pakhat long ni kutdoe a dang tila na ming uh moenih a? Na yong uh van daengah ni na dang uh eh.
24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
25Te dongah aka loehlang boeih loh boeih kuemsuem saeh. Te pataeng khaw amih loh aka hmawn koi rhuisam ni a dang uh eh. Tedae mamih tah aka kuei ham ni n'thingthuel uh.
25Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.
26Te dongah khungrhap la kai ka yong van moenih. Yilh aka bop bangla ka thoek van moenih.
26Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
27Tedae ka pum he ka ngae tih ka phaep. Hlang tloe taengah amah kah a lolhmaih aka hoe la ka om boel eh.
27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
