1 Korinčanima 12
1 O darima Duha ne bih, braćo, htio da budete u neznanju.
Now, my fellow believers, [I will answer your questions] about the things God’s Spirit [enables believers to do]. I want you to know clearly [LIT] [about these things].
2 Znate kako ste se dok bijaste pogani, zavedeni, zanosili nijemim idolima.
You know that before you became Christians, various things led you to [worship] idols, which are unable to tell you [any of God’s message].
3 Zato vam obznanjujem: nitko tko u Duhu Božjem govori ne kaže: “Prokletstvo Isusu”. I nitko ne može reći: “Gospodin Isus” osim u Duhu Svetom.
So [the first thing] that I will tell you now is that it is not the Spirit of God who would cause anyone to say, “Jesus deserved to die,” and that the Holy Spirit is the only one who can enable anyone to say, “Jesus is [truly] the Lord.”
4 Različiti su dari, a isti Duh;
There are various things [that God’s] Spirit enables [various believers to do], but it is that same Spirit [who enables us to do them].
5 i različite službe, a isti Gospodin;
There are many different ways to serve [the Lord], but it is the same Lord [whom we all are serving].
6 i različita djelovanja, a isti Bog koji čini sve u svima.
[We believers] have the power to do various [tasks], but it is the same God who gives all of us the power [to do] these things.
7 A svakomu se daje očitovanje Duha na korist.
[God’s] Spirit gives his power to each believer in order to benefit all the other [believers].
8 Doista, jednomu se po Duhu daje riječ mudrosti, drugomu riječ spoznanja po tom istom Duhu;
To some, the Spirit gives the ability to speak very wise messages. To others, the same Spirit gives the ability to know [things that he reveals to them].
9 drugomu vjera u tom istom Duhu, drugomu dari liječenja u tom jednom Duhu;
To others, the same Spirit gives the ability to believe [that God will work miracles]. To others, the Spirit gives the ability to heal [sick people].
10 drugomu čudotvorstva, drugomu prorokovanje, drugomu razlučivanje duhova, drugomu različiti jezici, drugomu tumačenje jezika.
To others, he gives the power [to perform] miracles. To others, he gives the ability to speak messages that come directly from God. To others, he gives the ability to tell [if a message is really from God or not]. To others he gives the ability to speak messages in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned]. To others, he gives the ability to tell the meaning of those messages [MTY].
11 A sve to djeluje jedan te isti Duh dijeleći svakomu napose kako hoće.
It is the same Spirit who gives all these abilities. He gives whatever abilities he wants to give, to whatever person he wants to give them.
12 Doista, kao što je tijelo jedno te ima mnogo udova, a svi udovi tijela iako mnogi, jedno su tijelo - tako i Krist.
Although a person’s body has many parts, all the parts form just one body [DOU]. It is like that [with those who belong to] Christ.
13 Ta u jednom Duhu svi smo u jedno tijelo kršteni, bilo Židovi, bilo Grci, bilo robovi, bilo slobodni. I svi smo jednim Duhom napojeni.
When we were baptized {When people baptized us}, the one [Holy] Spirit caused us to become one group [of believers]. It does not matter whether we are Jews or non-Jews. It does not matter whether we are slaves or not slaves. [When we believed in Christ], the one Spirit came to live [MET] within all of us.
14 Ta ni tijelo nije jedan ud, nego mnogi.
[Our] bodies do not have only one part. They have many parts [with various functions].
15 Rekne li noga: “Nisam ruka, nisam od tijela”, zar zbog toga nije od tijela?
If our foot could [talk and] say [to us], “Because I am not [your] hand, I am not a part of [your] body,” it would still be a part of [our] body.
16 I rekne li uho: “Nisam oko, nisam od tijela”, zar zbog toga nije od tijela?
If our ear could [talk and] say, “Because I am not [your] eye, I am not a part of your body,” it would still be a part of our body.
17 Kad bi sve tijelo bilo oko, gdje bi bio sluh? Kad bi sve bilo sluh, gdje bi bio njuh?
If our body were only an eye, (we would not be able to hear./how could we hear?) [RHQ] If our body were only an ear, (we would not be able to smell [anything]!/how could we smell [anything]?) [RHQ]
18 A ovako, Bog je rasporedio udove, svaki od njih u tijelu, kako je htio.
But the truth is that God has put all the parts of our bodies together exactly as he wanted to put them.
19 Kad bi svi bili jedan ud, gdje bio bilo tijelo?
If [our body] had only one part, it would not be a body. [RHQ]
20 A ovako, mnogi udovi - jedno tijelo!
But the truth is that there are many parts [in our body], but it is still only one body.
21 Ne može oko reći ruci: “Ne trebam te”, ili pak glava nogama: “Ne trebam vas.”
That is why if our eye [could talk], it should never say to our hand, “I do not need you!” And if our head [could talk], it should not say to our feet, “I do not need you!”
22 Naprotiv, mnogo su potrebniji udovi tijela koji izgledaju slabiji.
Instead, the parts of our body that seem to be weaker are the ones that are absolutely necessary.
23 A udove koje smatramo nečasnijima, okružujemo većom čašću. I s nepristojnima se pristojnije postupa,
And the parts that we do not think highly of are the parts that we clothe carefully. And we protect carefully those parts that we do not show to people.
24 a pristojni toga ne trebaju. Nego, Bog je tako sastavio tijelo da je posljednjem udu dao izobilniju čast
The parts that are [all right to] show people, we do not need to protect. Instead, God, who has put all the parts of our bodies together, causes us to care for in a special way the parts that we think are less important.
25 da ne bude razdora u tijelu, nego da se udovi jednako brinu jedni za druge.
He does that in order that all the parts of our body will work together harmoniously [LIT], and so that all the parts will care for all the other parts equally.
26 I ako trpi jedan ud, trpe zajedno svi udovi; ako li se slavi jedan ud, raduju se zajedno svi udovi.
If one part of our body hurts, [it is as though] all the parts of our body are hurting. If we pay special attention to one part of our body, [it is as though] all the parts of our body feel pleasure [MET].
27 A vi ste tijelo Kristovo i, pojedinačno, udovi.
[Everything I have just said about how the parts of our bodies relate to each other applies to how] all of you who belong to Christ [should relate to each other]. Each of you belongs to him, [but you have not all been given the same abilities and work].
28 I neke postavi Bog u Crkvi: prvo za apostole, drugo za proroke, treće za učitelje; onda čudesa, onda dari liječenja; zbrinjavanja, upravljanja, razni jezici.
God has placed apostles in our congregations. Apostles are first [in rank]. Next [in rank] are those who speak messages which come directly from God. Next [in rank] are those who teach [spiritual truth]. Then there are those who have the power to work miracles, those who have the ability to heal [sick people], those who have the ability to help [others], those who have the ability to govern [the affairs of the congregation], and those who have the ability to speak [messages] in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned].
29 Zar su svi apostoli? Zar svi proroci? Zar svi učitelji? Zar svi čudotvorci?
Certainly not all [believers] are apostles. [RHQ] They all do not have the ability to speak messages that come directly from God. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to teach [spiritual truth]. [RHQ] They do not all have the power to work miracles. [RHQ]
30 Zar svi imaju dare liječenja? Zar svi govore jezike? Zar svi tumače?
They do not all have the ability to heal people. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to speak [messages] in languages [MTY] [they have not learned]. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to tell others the meaning of those messages. [RHQ] [Certainly not!]
31 Čeznite za višim darima! A evo vam puta najizvrsnijega!
But you should eagerly desire to have [the abilities that will help other believers] the most (OR, [the abilities that God considers] to be the most important). But now I will tell you the best way [to use the abilities that God’s Spirit has given you].
