Men Korint I 9
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1KAIDIN nai maiodar? Kaidin wanporon amen nai? I jota udialer Iejuj atail Kaun? Kaidin ai wiawia pan Kaun o komail?
1Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2Ma i jota wanporon amen on me tei ko, a on komail; pwe komail kajale pan ai koa en wanporon pan Kaun o.
2If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3Iduen i kin japenki, ma meamen kin kalelapok re i.
3Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4A jota muei ow kit er, en mana o nim?
4Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5A jota muei on kit er, en paudeki li amen, me pan ian kit jailok jili, duen me wanporon tei kan, o ri en Kaun o, o Kepaj kin wiada?
5Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6De nai o Parnapaj eta me a jota muei on liki jan dodok en pa at?
6Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
7Ij me kin ian mauin ap pwain pein i? Ij me wiada mat en wain eu, me jota kin kan kijan wa? Ij me kin kamana pwin man akan me jota kin kan pil en didi en man oko?
7Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8Mepukat i jota kin inda nin tiak en aramaj akan, pwe kaidin kapun o me pil majanier due?
8Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9Pwe a intinidier nan kapun en Mojej: Koe der pira pena au en kau ol amen, me kin tiaka pajan korn. Iaduen, Kot kin apapwali kau ol akan?
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?
10De kaidin pweki kit, me a kotin majaniekier mepukat? Pwe me kin japajap, en kaporoporeki a dodok; o me kin dolun en kaporoporeki, me a pan ian ale kijan wa.
10Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11Pwe ma kit wiai on komail japajap nenin, a kaidin me kajampwal kot, me komail pan apwali kit ni pali uduk.
11If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12A ma a muei on me tei kan, ale jan omail dipijou kan, nan kit me jo mau on jan irail? Ari jo, kit jota kol on kit tiak wet, a je men mia ni at apwal akan, pwe jen de karompwa ronamau en Krijtuj.
12If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13Komail jota aja, me irail, me jopijokki jaraui, pil manamana jan nan im en kaudok, o me irail, me kin papan pei jaraui, pil aleki pwaij ar jan pei jaraui?
13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14Iduen Kaun o kotin majani, me irail, me padaki ronamau, pil pan manaki ronamau.
14Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
15A nai jota kin kol on ia eu ren mepukat, o i jota intin wei mepukat, pwe komail en kapwai on ia mepukat, pwe a mau on ia en mela, mon amen pan kawela mar ai.
15But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
16Pwe ma i padaki ronamau, jota me i en juaiki, pwe i en udan wiada; pwe jued on ia, ma i jota padaki ronamau.
16For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
17Pwe ma i peren kida dodok wet, i pan ale katin, a ma i kan wiada, nan kujoned mia, i en wiada.
17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
18Ari, ia katin pai ni ai padaki ronamau ap jota pwaipwai, pwe i ender akapwaipwaiki jan ronamau meakot.
18What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
19Pwe nai me udan maiodar jan amen amen, ari jo, i wia kin ia ladun amen amen, pwe i en kamaurela me toto duen i kak on.
19For though I be free from all men , yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
20I wia kin ia Juj amen on Juj akan, pwen kamaurela Juj akan; o on irail, me mi pan kapun, dueta pan kapun amen, pwen kamaur ir ala, me mi pan kapun; ari jo, nai jolar mi pan kapun.
20And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21On irail me jota mi pan kapun, i wia kin ia me jota mi pan kapun amen; ari jo, kaidin nai me likin kapun mon Kot, pwe I kin mi pan kapun en Krijtuj, pwen kamaurela me jota mi pan kapun.
21To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22On me luet akan, i wia kin ia me luet amen, pwen kamaurela me luet akan. Nai wiala jon karoj on amen amen, pwen kamaurela akai waja karoj.
22To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men , that I might by all means save some.
23I me i kin wiawia pweki ronamau, pwe i en ian i pwai jaijki.
23And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you .
24Komail jota aja, duen men weir en tan, irail karoj kin tan, a amen ta, me pan ale pai? Komail ari en tan idipok, pwe komail en ale.
24Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25A amen amen me aktan idipok, kin ijejol pokon. Irail kin wia me, pwen ale mar kamon a kitail, pwen ale me jo kamon.
25And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26Arai ari aktan jopuiok; nai kin pepei, a kaidin dueta me woki nan wawa;
26I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27Pwe i kin jok pon war ai, pwen katenedi, pwe i de padaki on akai, ap pein lokidokila.
27But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
