1 Corinthians 9

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Am I not free? Am I not an Apostle? Have I not seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?	1 ألست انا رسولا. ألست انا حرا. أما رأيت يسوع المسيح ربنا. ألستم انتم عملي في الرب.
2 And if I am not an Apostle to others, yet still I am to you. For you are the seal of my Apostleship in the Lord.	2 ان كنت لست رسولا الى آخرين فانما انا اليكم رسول لانكم انتم ختم رسالتي في الرب.
3 My defense with those who question me is this:	3 هذا هو احتجاجي عند الذين يفحصونني.
4 Do we not have the authority to eat and to drink?	4 ألعلنا ليس لنا سلطان ان نأكل ونشرب.
5 Do we not have the authority to travel around with a woman who is a sister, just as do the other Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?	5 ألعلنا ليس لنا سلطان ان نجول باخت زوجة كباقي الرسل واخوة الرب وصفا.
6 Or is it only myself and Barnabas who do not have the authority to act in this way?	6 ام انا وبرنابا وحدنا ليس لنا سلطان ان لا نشتغل.
7 Who has ever served as a soldier and paid his own stipend? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat from its produce? Who pastures a flock and does not drink from the milk of the flock?	7 من تجند قط بنفقة نفسه. ومن يغرس كرما ومن ثمره لا يأكل. او من يرعى رعية ومن لبن الرعية لا يأكل.
8 Am I saying these things according to man? Or does the law not also say these things?	8 ألعلي اتكلم بهذا كانسان ام ليس الناموس ايضا يقول هذا.
9 For it is written in the law of Moses: “You shall not bind the mouth of an ox, while it is treading out the grain.” Is God here concerned with the oxen?	9 فانه مكتوب في ناموس موسى لا تكم ثورا دارسا. ألعل الله تهمه الثيران.
10 Or is he saying this, indeed, for our sake? These things were written specifically for us, because he who plows, ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes, too, in hope of receiving the produce.	10 ام يقول مطلقا من اجلنا. انه من اجلنا مكتوب. لانه ينبغي للحراث ان يحرث على رجاء وللدارس على رجاء ان يكون شريكا في رجائه.
11 If we have sown spiritual things in you, is it important if we harvest from your worldly things?	11 ان كنا نحن قد زرعنا لكم الروحيات أفعظيم ان حصدنا منكم الجسديات.
12 If others are sharers in this authority over you, why are we not more entitled? And yet we have not used this authority. Instead, we bear all things, lest we give any hindrance to the Gospel of Christ.	12 ان كان آخرون شركاء في السلطان عليكم أفلسنا نحن بالاولى. لكننا لم نستعمل هذا السلطان بل نتحمل كل شيء لئلا نجعل عائقا لانجيل المسيح.
13 Do you not know that those who work in the holy place eat the things that are for the holy place, and that those who serve at the altar also share with the altar?	13 ألستم تعلمون ان الذين يعملون في الاشياء المقدسة من الهيكل يأكلون. الذين يلازمون المذبح يشاركون المذبح.
14 So, too, has the Lord ordained that those who announce the Gospel should live by the Gospel.	14 هكذا ايضا امر الرب ان الذين ينادون بالانجيل من الانجيل يعيشون.
15 Yet I have used none of these things. And I have not written so that these things may be done for me. For it is better for me to die, rather than to let anyone empty out my glory.	15 اما انا فلم استعمل شيئا من هذا. ولا كتبت هذا لكي يصير فيّ هكذا. لانه خير لي ان اموت من ان يعطل احد فخري.
16 For if I preach the Gospel, it is not glory for me. For an obligation has been laid upon me. And woe to me, if I do not preach the Gospel.	16 لانه ان كنت ابشر فليس لي فخر اذ الضرورة موضوعة عليّ. فويل لي ان كنت لا ابشر.
17 For if I do this willingly, I have a reward. But if I do this reluctantly, a dispensation is granted to me.	17 فانه ان كنت افعل هذا طوعا فلي اجر. ولكن ان كان كرها فقد استؤمنت على وكالة.
18 And what, then, would be my reward? So, when preaching the Gospel, I should give the Gospel without taking, so that I may not misuse my authority in the Gospel.	18 فما هو اجري اذ وانا ابشر اجعل انجيل المسيح بلا نفقة حتى لم استعمل سلطاني في الانجيل.
19 For when I was a free man to all, I made myself the servant of all, so that I might gain all the more.	19 فاني اذ كنت حرا من الجميع استعبدت نفسي للجميع لاربح الاكثرين.
20 And so, to the Jews, I became like a Jew, so that I might gain the Jews.	20 فصرت لليهود كيهودي لاربح اليهود. وللذين تحت الناموس كاني تحت الناموس لاربح الذين تحت الناموس.
21 To those who are under the law, I became as if I were under the law, (though I was not under the law) so that I might gain those who were under the law. To those who were without the law, I became as if I were without the law, (though I was not without the law of God, being in the law of Christ) so that I might gain those who were without the law.	21 وللذين بلا ناموس كاني بلا ناموس. مع اني لست بلا ناموس الله بل تحت ناموس للمسيح. لاربح الذين بلا ناموس.
22 To the weak, I became weak, so that I might gain the weak. To all, I became all, so that I might save all.	22 صرت للضعفاء كضعيف لاربح الضعفاء . صرت للكل كل شيء لاخلّص على كل حال قوما.
23 And I do everything for the sake of the Gospel, so that I may become its partner.	23 وهذا انا افعله لاجل الانجيل لاكون شريكا فيه.
24 Do you not know that, of those who run in a race, all of them, certainly, are runners, but only one achieves the prize. Similarly, you must run, so that you may achieve.	24 الستم تعلمون ان الذين يركضون في الميدان جميعهم يركضون ولكن واحدا يأخذ الجعالة. هكذا اركضوا لكي تنالوا.
25 And one who competes in a contest abstains from all things. And they do this, of course, so that they may achieve a corruptible crown. But we do this, so that we may achieve what is incorruptible.	25 وكل من يجاهد يضبط نفسه في كل شيء. اما اولئك فلكي يأخذوا اكليلا يفنى واما نحن فاكليلا لا يفنى.
26 And so I run, but not with uncertainty. And so I fight, but not by flailing in the air.	26 اذا انا اركض هكذا كانه ليس عن غير يقين. هكذا اضارب كاني لا اضرب الهواء.
27 Instead, I chastise my body, so as to redirect it into servitude. Otherwise, I might preach to others, but become myself an outcast.	27 بل اقمع جسدي واستعبده حتى بعد ما كرزت للآخرين لا اصير انا نفسي مرفوضا
