1 Korintuh 12
1 Ka püie, Ngmüimkhya bänaka mawng nami yuk lawki. Akcanga ahine nami jah ksing vai hlüei veng.
But concerning spiritual [manifestations], brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
2 Am nami jumei ham üng juktuh akthie sawhkhah khaia lam ning jah hmesak ve u.
Ye know that when ye were [of the] nations [ye were] led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led.
3 Acunakyase, Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya naw am a cehpüia khyang naw, “Jesuh ksekha na khai” acunüng, Ngmüimkhya ngcima lam sümnak am taki naw, “Jesuh cun Bawipa ni” tia am pyen thei ti cun ning jah ksingsak veng.
I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in [the power of the] Spirit of God, says, Curse [on] Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in [the power of the] Holy Spirit.
4 Ngmüimkhya bänak akce kce veki, cunsepi, Ngmüimkhya mat däka kyaki.
But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 Khutbi akce kce veki, cunsepi, Bawipa cun mata kyaki.
and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;
6 Bilawhnak thei akce kce veki, cunsepi, bilawhnak thei jah peki Pamhnam mat däka kyaki.
and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.
7 Ngmüimkhya khyang mat cia k'uma a ve cun avan mi dawnak vaia phäha kyaki ni.
But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.
8 Ngmüimkhya naw Khyang akcea veia themnaka ngthu pe lü, acuna Ngmüimkhya kung naw khyang akcea veia ngthu ksingkhyapnak peki.
For to one, by the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom; and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
9 Acuna Ngmüimkhya bä naw khyang akcea veia jumeinak pe lü, khyang akcea veia yainak be theia johit peki.
and to a different one faith, in [the power of] the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in [the power of] the same Spirit;
10 Ngmüimkhya naw khyang akcea veia müncankse bilawhnaka johit pe lü khyang akcea veia Pamhnama ngthu pyensaknak thei peki. Mata veia Ngmüimkhya üngka naw lawkia bänak ja akce üngka naw lawkia bänaka hngalangnak ksingnak peki. Khyang akcea veia ngthu akce kce pyen theinak pe lü akcea veia acuna ngthua suilam pyenak be thei peki.
and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.
11 Acunsepi khyang avana khana acune jah pawhki cun Ngmüimkhya mäta kyaki; amäta hlüa kba khyang mat cia veia bänak akce kce jah peki.
But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.
12 Khritaw cun ngban khawhah lawkia pumsa mata kba kyaki; Ngban khawhah am pyana kyase pi pumsa mata kyaki.
For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ.
13 Acun kba ni avan hin Judaha pi kyase, Krika pi kyase, mpyaa pi kyase, mpya am ni tia pi kyase, pumsa mat üng mi ve khaia Ngmüimkhya mat üng baptican mi khanki. Ngmüimkhya mat däk awk vaia jah peki.
For also in [the power of] one Spirit we have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.
14 Pumsa cun ngban mat dänga pyana am kya, ngban khawhah üng pyana kyaki.
For also the body is not one member but many.
15 Khaw naw “Kuta am ka kyakia kyase pumsa üng am ngpüi veng” a ti üng acuna phäha pumsa üng am ngpüikia am kya.
If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
16 Acunüng, nghnga naw, “Mika am ka kyakia kyase pumsa üng am ngpüi veng” a ti üng, acuna phäha pumsa üng am ngpüikia am kya.
And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
17 Pumsa avan cun mika akya päih vai sü ta ihawkba mi ngja khai ni? Avan ngjaknaka akya vai sü ta ihawkba ahawi mi ksing khai ni?
If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling?
18 Acukba Pamhnam naw am tängkia pumsa ngbane cun a ngjakhlüa a jah tak ni.
But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased [him].
19 Avan ngban mata mi kya päih üng, pumsa vai am ve.
But if all were one member, where the body?
20 Hin kba kyaki, ngban khawhah law se pi pumsa mat däka kyaki.
But now the members [are] many, and the body one.
21 Acunüng, mik naw kuta veia, “Am ning ngjahlü veng” am ti thei; lu naw pi khawa veia, “Ä, am ning ngjahlü veng” am ti thei.
The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.
22 Pumsa üng akjaw säiha mi ngaih am ngpüi xase i am mi pawh thei.
But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
23 Acunakyase, pumsa üng am mawngkia mi jah ngaiha ngbane ni mi jah künak säih; pumsa üng am dawkia mi jah hmuhe ni mi jah cäinak säih.
and those [parts] of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;
24 Dawkia ngbane cun jah dawsak vai am hlü ti u. Pamhnam amät naw am tängkia ngbane pumsa üng a jah tak hin mata hlü cun mat naw am mcei lü a leisawng vaia phäh ni.
but our comely [parts] have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to [the part] that lacked;
25 Pumsa üng ngpainak am ve, cunsepi am tängkia ngbane naw ami püi mceiei khaie.
that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.
26 Acunakyase, ngban mata khuikha üng ngban naküt khuikha hngakie; ngban mat mküiei üng jekyainak cun avan naw yahkie.
And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with [it]; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
27 Avan Khritawa pumsaa nami kyaki, mat ci cun a ngbana nami kyaki.
Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.
28 Pamhnama sangcim üng avan cun hnün a jah pet: akcüka ngsä he, anghnihnaka sahmae, akthumnaka jah mtheimthangkie; acun käna müncankse pawhkie; acun käna jah m’yai be theikie, acunüng khyang kpüikpakie, acunüng lam kdaw jah msüm theikie ja ngthu kce pyen theikia kyakie.
And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.
29 Khyang avan cun ngsä he, sahmae ja jah mtheimthangkiea am kya u. Avan naw müncankse pawhnak am ta u;
[Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all [in possession of] miraculous powers?
30 Avan naw hlikhaüa pawh m’yai be theikiea am kya. Avan naw ngthu akce kce pyen theikia am kya. Avan acuna ngthua suilam pyen be theikia am kya.
have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 Akdaw säih yah vai ja nami mlung üngta ua. Akdaw säih lam ka ning jah hmuh khai.
But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
