1 Ŵakolinto 12

1 Sambano achalongo achinjangu ngusaka mmanyilile yambone yankati mituuka jajikutyochela kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.

But, concerning the spiritually gifted, brethren, I am not wishing you to be ignorant.

2 Nkumanyilila kuti pamwaliji ngankwamanyilila Akunnungu, mwatawalikwe ni kulongoswa mpopelele minungu jangali ni umi yaani inyago.

Ye know that, when ye were of the nations, unto the dumb idols, howsoever ye were being led, ye were seduced.

3 Kwaligongo lyo ngusaka mmanyilile kuti, ngapagwa mundu jwakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwakukombola kuŵecheta, “Che Yesu alweseche.” Ni sooni ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kuŵecheta kuti, “Che Yesu ali Ambuje,” pangalongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.

Wherefore, I give you to know—that, no one, in God’s Spirit speaking, saith—Accursed Jesus! and, no one, can say—Lord Jesus! save in [the] Holy Spirit.

4 Jipali mituuka jakupisyangana, nambo Mbumu jwakupeleganya ali jumope.

But, distributions of gifts, there are, yet the same Spirit,

5 Sooni kutumichila kuli kwa kupisyangana nambo Ambuje ŵakutumichilwa ali ŵamope.

And, distributions of ministries, there are, and the same Lord,

6 Ni sooni kupali kupisyangana kwa masengo, nambo Akunnungu ali ŵalaŵala ŵakupanganya masengo gose kwa ŵandu wose.

And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God—who energiseth all things in all.

7 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akuliunukula kwa kila mundu kwa uŵele wakupisyangana kwaligongo lya upoche wa ŵandu wose.

But, unto each one, is given the manifesting of the Spirit, with a view to that which is profitable;

8 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akumpa mundu jwine liloŵe lya lunda, ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jujojo akumpa mundu jwine liloŵe lya umanyilisi yakuti pakusaka.

For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; —

9 Mbumu jujojo akumpa mundu jwine chikulupi, Mbumu jujojo akumpa mundu jwine ntuuka wa kwalamya ŵandu.

Unto a different one, faith, in the same Spirit, and, unto another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit,

10 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akumpa mundu jwine ntuuka wa kupanganya yakusimonjeka. Mbumu jujojo akumpa mundu jwine ntuuka wa kulondola, ni Mbumu jujojo akumpa mundu jwine ntuuka wa kujimanyilila mbumu ja unami ni Mbumu ja usyene. Ni mundu jwine akupegwa ntuuka wa kuŵecheta iŵecheto ineine ni mundu jwine akupegwa ntuuka wa kugopolela.

And, unto another, energies of mighty works, [and], unto another, prophesying, [and], unto another, discriminations of spirits, —unto a different one, kinds of tongues, and, unto another, translation of tongues; —

11 Nambo masengo gose go akugapanganya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jumo pejo, achingaŵilaga kila mundu ntuuka wakupisyangana mpela yakuti pakusaka nsyene.

But, all these, energiseth the one and the same Spirit, distributing unto each one, peculiarly, even as it is disposed.

12 Mpela ila chiilu yachitite kuŵa chimo chachili ni iŵalo yeijinji, ni iŵalo yo namuno ili yejinji, ikuchigumba chiilu chimo, ni yaitite kuŵa kwa Kilisito.

For, just as, the body, is one, and yet hath many members, but, all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so, also, the Christ; —

13 Pakuŵa uweji wose twabatiswe kwa Mbumu jumo tuŵe chiilu chimo, iŵaga tuli Ŵayahudi pane ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, iŵaga tuli achikapolo pane ŵandu ŵalechelelwe, wose twang'wechekwe Mbumu julajula jumo.

For, even to one Spirit, we all, into one body, have been immersed, —whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, —and, all, of one Spirit, have been caused to drink.

14 Pakuŵa chiilu nganichigumbikwa kwa chiŵalo chimo pe, nambo kwa iŵalo yejinji.

For, the body also, is not one member, but many:

15 Lukongolo lwatiji, “Une nganima nkono, kwapele une ngaŵa ŵa chiilu,” Ana lukongolo ngaluŵa lwa chiilu kwa ligongo lyo?

Though the foot should say—Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body?

16 Ni liwiwi lyatiji, “Pakuŵa une ngaŵa liso, une ngaŵa lya chiilu,” Ana liwiwi ngaliŵa lya chiilu kwa ligongo lyo?

And, though the ear should say—Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body?

17 Naga chiilu chose chikaliji liso kupikana kukaliji kwapi? Ni chiilu chose chikaliji liwiwi, mundu akakombwele chinauli kunusya?

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

18 Nambo Akunnungu aiŵisile iŵalo yose mu chiilu cha kila mundu mpela iŵatite pakusaka.

But, now, hath God set the members, each one of them in the body, even as he pleased.

19 Nambo iŵalo yose ikaliji chiŵalo chimo, chiilu chikaliji kwapi?

But, if they all had been one member, Where had been, the body?

20 Mpela yachitite kuŵa, chikwete iŵalo yejinji nambo chiilu chili chimo pe.

Now, however there are many members, yet one body;

21 Liso ngalikukombola kuusalila nkono, “Ngangunsaka!” Namose ntwe nawo ngaukukombola kugasalila makongolo kuti, “Ngangunsaka!”

[And] the eye cannot say unto the hand—I have no need of thee, —nor, again, the head, unto the feet—I have no need of you: —

22 Kupunda pele chiiwoneche kuti iŵalo ya chiilu yaili yakulepetala ni yaili yakusachilwa nnope.

Nay! much more, the members which seem to be weaker are necessary,

23 Sooni aila iŵalo yatukwiganisya kuti yangali uchimbichisyo ni yatukuichimbichisya, ni iŵalo ya chiilu yaikuwoneka ili ya soni ni itukuiunichila nnope.

And, the parts of the body which we deem to be less honourable, on these, more abundant honour, do we bestow, and, our uncomely parts, have, more abundant comeliness,

24 Nambo iŵalo yaikuwoneka pa meeso pa ŵandu, ngaikusaka kuunichikwa. Akunnungu nsyene achiŵisile chiilu mu chikotopasyo chanti yele ni kuipa uchimbichisyo aila iŵalo yaili yakulepetala.

Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together, —unto that which was lacking, giving more abundant honour; —

25 Kwapele kukaŵa ni kulekangana muchiilu, nambo iŵalo inayose igosane.

That there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have, the same, care, one for another;

26 Chiŵalo chimo chapotekaga iŵalo ine ikupoteka pamo nacho. Chiŵalo chimo chalapikwaga iŵalo ine ikusengwa pamo nacho.

And, whether one member, suffereth, all the members, suffer with it, or, a member is glorified, all the members, rejoice together.

27 Nipele ŵanyamwe wose ndi chiilu cha Kilisito, kila jumo jwenu ali chiŵalo cha chiilu cho.

Now, ye, are the body of Christ, and members severally; —

28 Mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, Akunnungu ŵaŵisile ŵandanda achinduna ni ŵaŵili ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵatatu ŵakwiganya, sooni ŵakupanganya yakusimonjeka ni sooni ŵaali ni mituuka jakulamya ŵakulwala, ni ŵakukombola kwakamusya ŵandu, ni ŵakukombola kwimilila masengo ni ŵakukombola kuŵecheta iŵecheto ineine.

And God hath, indeed, set, certain, in the assembly, —first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that mighty works, then gifts of healings, helps, guidings, kinds of tongues.

29 Ana wose ali achinduna? Ana wose ali ŵakulondola? Ana wose ali ŵakwiganya? Ana wose ali ŵakupanganya yakusimonjeka?

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all mighty works?

30 Ana wose akwete mituuka jakulamya ŵakulwala? Ana wose akuŵecheta iŵecheto ineine? Ana wose akwete ntuuka wa kugopolela iŵecheto ineine?

Have, all, gifts of healings? Do, all, with tongues, speak? Do, all, translate?

31 Nipele nlajile kwannope kupata mituuka jajili jekulungwa. Nambo sambano chinannosye litala lyambone kupunda matala gose.

Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out: —
