1 A m I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not ye my work in Lord?

Miyaanan xor ahayn? Miyaanan rasuul ahayn? Miyaanan arkin Rabbigeenna Ciise? Miyeydnaan ahayn shuqulkayga xagga Rabbiga?

2 I f I am not an apostle to others, yet at any rate I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in Lord.

Xataa haddaanan kuwa kale rasuul u ahayn, idinka waa idiin ahay, waayo, waxaad tihiin shaabadda rasuulnimadayda xagga Rabbiga.

3 M y defence to those who examine me is this:

Daafacaaddayda aan kuwa i imtixaama iskaga daafaco waa tan.

4 H ave we not a right to eat and to drink?

Miyaannan annagu jid u lahayn inaannu wax cunno oo wax cabno?

5 h ave we not a right to take round a sister wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

Miyaannan jid u lahayn inaannu haweenay walaal ah kaxaysanno sida rasuullada kale iyo walaalaha Rabbiga iyo Keeyfas ay sameeyaan?

6 O r I alone and Barnabas, have we not a right not to work?

Mise aniga iyo Barnabas oo keliyaan jid u lahayn inaannan shaqayn?

7 W ho ever carries on war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? or who herds a flock and does not eat of the milk of the flock?

Askarigee baa qarashkiisa weligiis iska bixiya? Yaa beer canab ah beera oo aan midhaheeda cunin? Ama yaa adhi daajiya oo aan caanaha adhiga dhamin?

8 D o I speak these things as a man, or does not the law also say these things?

Waxyaalahaas ma sida dad baan u leeyahay? Oo sharcigu miyuusan waxyaalahaas oo kale lahayn?

9 F or in the law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that is treading out corn. Is God occupied about the oxen,

Waayo, waxaa ku qoran sharciga Muuse, Waa inaadan dibiga af xidhin markuu sarreenka burburinayo. Ma Ilaah baa dibiyada oo keliya dhawra,

10 o r does he say altogether for our sakes? For for our sakes it has been written, that the plougher should plough in hope, and he that treads out corn, in hope of partaking of.

mise innagoo dhan buu inoola jeeda? Hubaal, aawadeen baa loo qoray, waayo, kan beerta qodaa waa inuu rajo ku qodo, kan tumaana waa inuu tumo isagoo rajaynaya inuu wax qayb u helo.

11 I f we have sown to you spiritual things, great if we shall reap your carnal things?

Haddaannu idinku beernay waxyaalaha ruuxa, ma wax weyn baa haddaannu waxyaalaha jidhka idinka urursaano?

12 I f others partake of this right over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.

Qaar kale hadday waxaas jid idiinku leeyihiin, miyaannan annagu si ka badan idiinku lahayn? Hase ahaatee, waxan noo jidka ah kuma aannu isticmaalin, laakiin wax walba waannu u dulqaadannaa inaannan sina u joojin injiilka Masiix.

13 D o ye not know that they who labour sacred things eat of the temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?

Miyeydnaan ogayn kuwa waxyaalaha quduuska ah ka shaqeeyaa inay macbudka wax ka cunaan, kuwa meesha allabariga ka adeegaana inay meesha allabariga qayb ku leeyihiin?

14 S o also the Lord has ordained to those that announce the glad tidings to live of the glad tidings.

Sidaas oo kale Rabbigu wuxuu amray in kuwa dadka injiilka ku wacdiyaa ay injiilka ku noolaadaan.

15 B ut I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

Laakiin waxyaalahaas midkoodna kuma aan isticmaalin. Haddana waxyaalahan u qori maayo in sidaas la ii yeelo, waayo, waxaa ii roon inaan dhinto intii nin uun faankayga ka dhigi lahaa wax aan wax ka jirin.

16 F or if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for it is woe to me if I should not announce the glad tidings.

Waayo, haddaan dadka injiilka ku wacdiyo, wax aan ku faano ma aha, waayo, wax baa i qasbaya, maxaa yeelay, waa ii hoog haddaanan dadka injiilka ku wacdiyin.

17 F or if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with an administration.

Waayo, haddaan waxaas ku sameeyo doonistayda aawadeed, abaalgud baan helayaa, laakiin haddaanan doonistayda ku samayn, weli wakiilnimo baa laygu aaminay.

18 W hat is the reward then that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless, so as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my right in the glad tidings.

Haddaba abaalgudkaygu waa maxay? Waa in markaan injiilka dadka ku wacdiyo aan injiilka ka dhigo iibla'aan, si aanan ugu wada isticmaalin waxa ii jidka ah xagga injiilka. Aad Buu Ugu Dadaalay Inuu Dad U Jiido Masiix

19 F or being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most.

Waayo, in kastoo aan xor ka ahaa dad oo dhan, dhammaan ayaan addoon isaga dhigay, si aan qaar kaloo badan u soo kordhiyo.

20 A nd I became to the Jews as a Jew, in order that I might gain the Jews: to those under law, as under law, not being myself under law, in order that I might gain those under law:

Yuhuudda waxaan u noqday sida Yuhuudi oo kale, si aan Yuhuud kale u soo kordhiyo. Kuwa sharciga ka hooseeyana, sida mid sharciga ka hooseeya ayaan u noqday, aniga oo aan sharciga ka hoosayn, si aan kuwa sharciga ka hooseeya u soo kordhiyo.

21 t o those without law, as without law, (not as without law to God, but as legitimately subject to Christ,) in order that I might gain without law.

Xagga kuwa aan sharciga lahayn, sida mid aan sharci lahayn ayaan u noqday anigoo aan ahayn mid sharci la' xagga Ilaah, laakiin sharci leh xagga Masiix, si aan u soo kordhiyo kuwa aan sharciga lahayn.

22 I became to the weak, weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some.

Xagga kuwa itaalka daran waxaan u noqday mid itaaldaran, si aan kuwa itaalka daran u soo kordhiyo. Dadka oo dhan ayaan wax kasta u noqday inaan si kastaba qaar ku badbaadiyo.

23 A nd I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them.

Wax kasta waxaan u sameeyaa injiilka aawadiis, si aan u noqdo mid injiilka la qaybsada iyaga. Dadaalka Loo Baahan Yahay Si Loo Lib Helo

24 K now ye not that they who run in race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.

Miyaanad ogayn in kuwa tartan ku ordaa ay wada ordaan, laakiin mid uun baa dheefta hela? Sidaas u orda inaad heshaan.

25 B ut every one that contends is temperate in all things: they then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

Kii cayaarta aad ugu dadaalaa, wax walba ayuu iska dhawraa. Kuwaasu haddaba waxay sidaas u yeelaan inay taaj dhammaanaya helaan, innaguse waxaynu helaynaa mid aan dhammaanaynin.

26 I therefore thus run, as not uncertainly; so I combat, as not beating the air.

Haddaba anigu uma ordo qasdila'aan, uma feedhtamo sida mid dabaysha ku dhufanaya.

27 B ut I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest having preached to others I should be myself rejected.

Laakiin jidhkaygaan dhibaa oo addoon ka dhigaa si markaan qaar kale injiilka ku wacdiyo aan qudhayda lay diidin.
