1 IRV Moi azad nohoi naki? Moi Jisu para chuni lua das nohoi naki? Moi amikhan laga Prabhu Jisu ke dikhai nai naki? Apunikhan ami logote Prabhu nimite kam kura manukhan nohoi naki? BSB BSB: Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?
2 IRV Jodi ami dusara khan nimite Jisu para chuni lua das nohoi koilebi, apunikhan nimite tu ase nohoi. Kile koile Prabhu laga das kam kura khan tu apunikhan hey ami laga gavahee asey. BSB BSB: Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 IRV Etu hey ami laga raksha ase jun khan para amike sai thakey: BSB BSB: This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
4 IRV Khalua kura khan tu ami laga adhikar nohoi naki? BSB BSB: Have we no right to food and to drink?
6 IRV Nohoile, khali Barnabas aru moi hey kam kuri kena khabo lagey? BSB BSB: Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?
7 IRV Kun ekta sipahi kam kuri kena nijor key tankha dey? Kun ekta bagan kura manu bagan kuri kena nijor bagan laga guti khabole adhikar nai? Nohoilebi kun ekta bhera saa manu nijor laga bhera khan ke sai kena taikhan laga dood nakhai? BSB BSB: Who 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?
8 IRV Etu khan kua tu ami manukhan laga adhikar hisab tey kua nohoi naki? Nohoile Isor laga kanoon tey eneka asey nohoi? BSB BSB: Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?
9 IRV Kile koile Moses laga kanoon tey eneka likhi kena ase," Goru laga mukh tey rusi para bandhi kena bon kuri nadibi jitia tai dhan khan ke theng para chipai kena ghuri thaka homoite." BSB BSB: For 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?
10 IRV Na, Moses tu khali amikhan nimite hei koi ase? Kile mane eitu manikhan nimite likhi kene ase, kile jun kheti khunde aru kun dhan guti ke alag kore, tai duijon bi hajira pabo lage. BSB BSB: Isn’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.
11 IRV Jodi amikhan aatma laga bhijon khan apunikhan majote phelai, tinehoile apunikhan amikhan ke dhunia laga guti bi dibole napare naki? BSB BSB: If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
12 IRV Jodi dusra khan apuni uporte kiba pabole adhikar ase koile, apunikhan bi taikhan uporte pabole adhikar ase nohoi? Kintu amikhan eitu adhikar tu lobole para nai. Ulta Khrista laga susamachar kaam digdar nohobole nimite tai khan ke khusi koribole diye. BSB BSB: If 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.
13 IRV Apunikhan najane, jun mandir nimite kaam kore, tai tu mandir laga kaam khan he khai; aru jun Isor ghor te khalua khan sai, tai tu Isor ghor laga khalua he khai? BSB BSB: Do 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?
14 IRV Thik eitu nisena, Probhu pora hukum dise jun Khrista laga susamachar koi diya kaam kore tai laga hajira tu susamachar pora he pabo. BSB BSB: In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
15 IRV Kintu moi eitu adhikar khan eku bi luwa nai. Kile koile ami eitu likha tu kiba pabole nimite likha nohoi, kile koile etu likhi kena phutani kora pora tu ami nimite mori ja tu he bhal hobo. BSB BSB: But 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.
16 IRV Kile koile jetiya moi susamachar prochar kore, eitu te ami eku phutani dikhabole motlab nai, kile mane eitu tu ami laga jimedari he ase. Aru ami uporte dukh hobole dibi jodi ami susamachar tu prochar nakure! BSB BSB: Yet 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!
17 IRV Kile koile jodi ami nijor echha pora prochar korile, moi nimite enam ase. Kintu jodi echha nathake, juntu kaam ami uporte jimedari kori dise. BSB BSB: If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.
18 IRV Tinehoile ami laga enam tu ki ase? Ami jetiya susamachar tu prochar kore ami eku bi dan naloi, eneka hoile he ami susamachar laga nam pora khusi- khusi koribole sesta nakoribo. BSB BSB: What 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.
19 IRV Kile koile ami tu sob pora hoikena thakilebi, ami nijor ke dusra khan laga noukor bonai dise, eneka hoile ami aru bi bisi pabo. BSB BSB: Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
20 IRV Yehudi jati khan nimite ami bi Yehudi hoi jaise, eneka hoile Yehudi jati khan ke jiti lobo. Aru ami nijor bi niom bhitor te thaka nai, kintu jun khan niom bhitor te ase, tai khan uporte jiti bo nimite ami nijor ke niom bhitor te thaka ekjon kuri loise. BSB BSB: To 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.
21 IRV Aru jun khan niom bahar te ase, ami nijor ke niom bahar te thaka ekjon hoi jaise eneka hoile niom bahra te thaka khan ke jiti lobo(asol tey ami Isor laga niom bahra te nohoi, kintu Khrista laga kanun bhitor te ase). BSB BSB: To 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.
22 IRV Komjor khan nimite ami bi komjor hoi jaise, eneka hoile komjor khan ke jiti lobo. Moi sob khan nimite sob hoi jaise, eneka hoile ami keneka hoilebi kunba khan ke bacha bole paribo. BSB BSB: To 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.
23 IRV Ami eitu khan sob tu susamchar nimite he kori ase, eneka hoile ami bi eitu laga ekta bhag hobo. BSB BSB: I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
24 IRV Apunikhan najane, polabole laga khela te sob khilari khan polai, kintu khali ekjon he inam loi? Etu nimite eneka pora polabi jeneka pora apuni eitu jiti lobo. BSB BSB: Do 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.
25 IRV Jun khan etu khela te bhag loi, tai khan tu ekdom bhal pora nijor ke taiyari kore. Tai khan eitu kora tu prithibi laga inam pabole nimite kore, kintu amikhan tu ketiya bi khotom nahua inam nimite kore. BSB BSB: Everyone 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.
26 IRV Eitu karone moi polai, ekjon eku motlab natha ki kena nohoi; moi larai kore, ekjon hawa te mari thaka nisena nohoi. BSB BSB: Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
27 IRV Kintu ami nijor gaw ke dhuri loi aru moi laga sewak bonai loi, eneka hoile jetiya ami dusra khan ke prochar kora pichete, ami nijor ke haribole nadibo. BSB BSB: No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
