1 Khawrin 12

1 Manuca rhoek, mueihla ah na mangvawt uh ham ka ngaih moenih.

But concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

2 Namtom rhoek bangla na om uh vaengah mueirhol olmueh taengla ngahngah m'mawt uh tih n'khuen uh te na ming uh.

You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to those dumb idols, as you might be led.

3 Pathen kah Mueihla neh aka cal loh, “Jesuh tah kosi ni,” a ti pawt te nangmih taengah kam phoe. Te dongah Mueihla Cim nen pawt atah, “Boeipa Jesuh,” a ti thai moenih.

For this reason, I make known to you, that no one, speaking by the Spirit of God, calls Jesus accursed: and no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

4 Te dongah kutdoe cungkuem om dae Mueihla tah amah boeiloeih ni.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit;

5 Bibinah khaw a cungluem la om dae Boeipa tah amah boeiloeih ni.

and there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;

6 Pongthohnah khaw a cungkuem la om dae Pathen amah te cungkuem dongah cungkuem la tueng.

and there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who makes them all effectual in all.

7 Tedae Mueihla kah a phoenah loh amih a rhoei nah ham rhip a paek coeng.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one, for the good of all.

8 Pakhat te Mueihla loh cueihnah olka a paek tih, a tloe taengah Mueihla amah loh mingnah olka khaw,

For to one is given, by the Spirit, the word of wisdom; to another, the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit;

9 Mueihla amah loh a tloe tangnah, Mueihla pakhat loh a tloe taengah hoeihnah kutdoe,

to another, faith, by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healing, by the same Spirit;

10 a tloe taengah thaomnah kah pongthohnah, a tloe taengah tonghma ol, a tloe taengah mueihla kah boelhkhoehnah, a tloe te namtom ol, pakhat te ol a kongnah a paek.

to another, the working of mighty deeds; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues.

11 Te dongah he boeih he Mueihla amah pakhat loh pakhat rhip taengah a tueng sak tih a ngaih bangla a tael pah.

But all these, the one and the same Spirit makes effectual, distributing to each, respectively, as he wills.

12 Pum tah pakhat la om tih pumrho muep om. Pum kah pumrho boeih loh muep om cakhaw a pum pakhat a om bangla Khrih khaw om van.

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

13 Mamih khaw, Judah rhoek khaw, Greek rhoek khaw, Sal khaw, aka loeih khaw mueihla pakhat dongah pum pakhat la boeih n'nuem uh. Te dongah mueihla pakhat la boeih n'tul coeng.

For by one Spirit we all were immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and we all have been made to drink of one Spirit.

14 Pum tah pakhat bueng van pawt tih pumrho muep om.

For the body is not one member, but many.

15 Kho loh, “Kut te kai moenih, pum kah a hut la ka om moenih,” ti koinih he kongah pum kah koe la a om pawt moenih.

If the foot shall say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body?

16 Hna long khaw, “Mik te kai moenih, pum kah koe la ka om moenih,” ti koinih he kongah pum kah koe la a om pawt moenih.

And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body?

17 Pum tah mik la boeih om koinih hnavue tah melam a om eh? Hnavue la boeih om koinih a bova tah metlam a him eh?

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

18 Tedae pumrho te Pathen loh rhip a khueh coeng. Amih pakhat rhip pum dongkah ham a ngaih ta.

But now God has placed the members, each of them, in the body, as it has pleased him.

19 Te dongah pumrho loh pakhat la boeih om koinih pum te melam a om eh?

And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20 Tedae tahae ah pumrho loh yet ngawn cakhaw pum pakhat ni a om.

But now there are many members, but one body.

21 Te dongah mik loh kut te, “Nang kan ngoe moenih,” te phoeiah lu loh kho te, “Nangmih kang ngoe moenih,” a ti thai moenih.

The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or again, the head to the feet: I have no need of you.

22 Tedae pum dongkah pumrho muep la aka poek loh tattloel la lat om om tangkik.

But much more are those members of the body necessary, which seem to be more feeble.

23 Pum kah sawtsit aka om la m'poek uh pumrho te khaw hinyahnah neh anah la n'thingcam uh. Mamih kah rhaidaeng long khaw thenrhuep a khueh khungdaeng.

And those members of the body, which, we think, are less honorable, around these we place the more abundant honor; and our uncomely members have the more abundant comeliness:

24 Tedae mamih kah hlangcong pumrho loh ngoe pawt cakhaw Pathen loh pum te a sombong tih aka vawt rhoek taengah hinyahnah muep a paek.

for our comely members have no need. But God has so arranged the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which is deficient,

25 Te daengah ni pum dongah paekboenah a om pawt eh. Tedae pumrho amah te pakhat ham khaw mawn puei saeh.

that there may be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same anxious care, one for another;

26 Te dongah pumrho pakhat loh a tloh atah pumrho loh boeih patang. Pumrho pakhat a thangpom atah pumrho boeih loh a omngaih puei.

and if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Nangmih tah Khrih kah pum neh cungvang ah a pumrho la na om uh.

Now, you are the body of Christ, and, as individuals, you are members.

28 Te dongah amih te Pathen loh hlangboel khuiah, lamhma la caeltueih rhoek, pabae ah tonghma rhoek, pathum ah saya rhoek neh thaomnah, hoeihnah kutdoe, talongkung rhoek, boelrhaikung rhoek, namtom ol neh rhep a khueh.

And God has placed some in the church, first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then mighty deeds; then gifts of healing; helps, governments, kinds of tongues.

29 Hlang boeih he caeltueih moenih. Hlang boeih he tonghma moenih. Hlang boeih he saya moenih. Hlang boeih he thaomnah moenih.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of mighty deeds?

30 Hlang boeih loh hoeihnah kutdoe a khueh uh moenih. Hlang boeih loh olka a thui moenih. Hlang boeih loh a thuicaih moenih.

Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

31 Tedae kutdoe tanglue te yakvawt uh lah. Te dongah longpuei he a puehkan la nangmih kan tueng pueng.

But seek earnestly the best gifts; and yet I show you a more excellent way.
