1 Khawrin 12
1 Manuca rhoek, mueihla ah na mangvawt uh ham ka ngaih moenih.
But concerning spiritual [manifestations], 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.
Ye know that when ye were [of the] nations [ye were] led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye 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.
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 Te dongah kutdoe cungkuem om dae Mueihla tah amah boeiloeih ni.
But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 Bibinah khaw a cungluem la om dae Boeipa tah amah boeiloeih ni.
and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;
6 Pongthohnah khaw a cungkuem la om dae Pathen amah te cungkuem dongah cungkuem la tueng.
and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.
7 Tedae Mueihla kah a phoenah loh amih a rhoei nah ham rhip a paek coeng.
But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.
8 Pakhat te Mueihla loh cueihnah olka a paek tih, a tloe taengah Mueihla amah loh mingnah olka khaw,
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 Mueihla amah loh a tloe tangnah, Mueihla pakhat loh a tloe taengah hoeihnah kutdoe,
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 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.
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 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 things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.
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 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 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 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 Pum tah pakhat bueng van pawt tih pumrho muep om.
For also 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 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 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 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 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 the hearing? if all hearing, where 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 set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased [him].
19 Te dongah pumrho loh pakhat la boeih om koinih pum te melam a om eh?
But if all were one member, where the body?
20 Tedae tahae ah pumrho loh yet ngawn cakhaw pum pakhat ni a om.
But now the members [are] many, and the body one.
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 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 Tedae pum dongkah pumrho muep la aka poek loh tattloel la lat om om tangkik.
But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
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 [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 Tedae mamih kah hlangcong pumrho loh ngoe pawt cakhaw Pathen loh pum te a sombong tih aka vawt rhoek taengah hinyahnah muep a paek.
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 Te daengah ni pum dongah paekboenah a om pawt eh. Tedae pumrho amah te pakhat ham khaw mawn puei saeh.
that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern 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]; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
27 Nangmih tah Khrih kah pum neh cungvang ah a pumrho la na om uh.
Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.
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 set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; 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 [in possession of] miraculous powers?
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 gifts of healings? 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 desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
