Berean Standard Bible
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?
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?
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.
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.
3Pacl mwet uh akkolukyeyu uh, pa inge top luk nu selos:
3This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
4Ya tia fal nga in eis mwe mongo ac mwe nim ke orekma luk uh?
4Have we no right to food and to drink?
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?
5Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?
6Ku mea, ya nga na Barnabas pa enenu in orekma tuh kut in suk ma kut in moul kac?
6Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?
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?
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?
8Mwe srikasrak ma nga fahk inge tia ma sik sifacna, a Ma Sap lal Moses fahk oapana.
8Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?
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?
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?
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.
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.
11Kut yukwiya fita lun ngun insiowos — ya tia fal tuh kut in eis kosrani lasr suwos ke mwe kasru lun mano?
11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
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.
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.
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.
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?
14In ouiya sacna, Leum God El sap tuh elos su fahkak Pweng Wo fah eis mwe moul lalos ke fahkak lalos ke Pweng Wo.
14In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
17If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.
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.
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.
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.
19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
23Nga oru ma inge nukewa ke sripen Pweng Wo, tuh nga in wi ipeis ke mwe insewowo kac.
23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
26Pa oru nga kasrusr suwosna in sun saflaiya, ac nga oana sie mwet fisik su tia fisik ke wangin sripa.
26Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
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.
27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
