1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
Pacino cindi, li nkansuni kwambeti mubule kuba ne lwinshibo pa bipo bya Mushimu Uswepa.
2 You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
Mucishi cena kwambeti kamutana mwinshiba Lesa mwalikuba mwataika munshila shingi, kayi mwalikupailila tumbwanga tutacikonsho kwamba.
3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.
Ecebo cakendi ndamwambilingeti kuliya muntu ukute Mushimu wa Lesa wela “kushingana Yesu.” Kayi muntu wabula Mushimu Uswepa nkela kwambeti “Yesu eMwami.”
4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Pali bipo bya Mushimu Uswepa byapusana pusana bikute kupewa kufuma ku Mushimu Uswepa umo.
5 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
Pali nshila shapusanapusana shakusebenselamo, nsombi ni Mwami umo wa kusebensela.
6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all.
Pali ncito shakusebenselamo shapusana pusana, nsombi ni Mwami umo ukute kupa ncito kubantu bonse.
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
Mushimu Uswepa ukute kubonekela munshila yopeleyo ku muntu uliyense, kwambeti byonse bintu binyamfwenga bantu bonse.
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
Mushimu Uswepa ukute kupa muntu cipo cakwamba mwamano, kumuntu naumbi Mushimu Uswepa ukute kumupa cipo calwinshibo nekupa mano bantu.
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
Mushimu Uswepa wopelowo ukute kupa bantu nabambi cipo cakuba ne lushomo, nabambi ukute kubapa cipo ca ngofu shakusengula.
10 and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.
Nabambi ukute kubapa ngofu shakwinsa bishikukankamanisha, kuli nabambi ukute kubapa cipo cakushinshima. Kuli nabambi ukute kubapa lwinshibo lwa kupusanya pakati pabintu bilafumunga ku Mushimu Uswepa ne bintu bilafumunga kumbi. Kuli nabambi ukute kubapa cipo cakwamba milaka yapusana pusana yabula kwishibikwa, kayi nekupa nabambi cipo ca kusansulula iyo milaka.
11 But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
Mushimu Uswepa wopelowo eukute kwinsa bintu byonsebyo. Ukute kupa muntu uliyense cipo camwelela kumuyabila.
12 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 Christ.
Klistu ulyeti mubili ukute bilama bingi. Nikukabeti bilama nibingi nsombi mubili ni umo.
13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
Nambi njafwe Bayuda nambi bakunsa, basha nambi babula kuba basha nsombi twense twalatambula lubatisho mu Mushimu Uswepa umo kwambeti tube mubili umo. Lesa ewalatupa twense Mushimuwo kwambeti tunwe.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
Cilama cimo nkacela kupanga mubili, mubili wapangwa ne bilama bingi.
15 If the foot would say, “Because I am not the hand, I am not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.
“Na mwendo wambeti pakwinga ntame cikasa nkandipo cilama ca mubili, neco nkacela kupesheti cibule kuba lubasu lya mubili.
16 If the ear would say, “Because I am not the eye, I am not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.
Na litwi lyambeti pakwinga ntame linso, neco nkandipo cilama camubili” Ico nkacela kupesheti cibule kuba cilama ca mubili, sena ngacibeco?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
Na mubili wonse newalaba linso, inga muntu nakute kunyumfweconi? Nambi niwalaba litwi, inga muntu nakute kunyumfweconi lyema?
18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
Lino mbuli ncocibele, Lesa mwine ewalapanga bilama mu mubili byapusana pusana kwelana nekuyanda kwakendi.
19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?
Nkapela kuba mubili na bilama byonse kabili cilama cimo.
20 But now they are many members, but one body.
Bilama ni bingi nsombi mubili ni umo.
21 The eye cannot tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
Neco linso nkalyela kwambila cikasa eti nkandikusunipo, nawo mutwi nkawela kwambila mwendo eti nkandikusunipo.
22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
Paliya cela kwinshika na bilama nabimbi bikute kuboneketi biliya ncito bibulako kumubili.
23 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,
Bilama mbyotukute kuboneti biliya ncito embyotwela kupa bulemu kupita byonse. Bilama bikute kupa nsoni embyotukute kufweka.
24 while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
Bilama bikute kuboneka cena nkatukute kubifweka. Lesa walapamankanya pamo bilama byamubili kwambeti bipe bulemu bulayandikinga.
25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
Walenseco kwambeti mubili kautapansana, nsombi kwambeti cilama ciliconse cisebenselenga cinendi.
26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
Cilama cimo canyumfwa kubaba, bilama byonse bikute kunyamfwa kubaba. Cilama cimo capewa bulemu, byonse bikute kukondwa.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
Mwense njamwe mubili wa Klistu uliyense nicilama camubili uyu.
28 God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
Lesa walabika bantu mu mubungano wa bantu ba Lesa cakutanguna walabika batumwa, kukonkapo walabika bashinshimi, pakupwililisha walabika beshikwiyisha. Walabika bantu nabambi balikuba nengofu sha kwinsa bishikukankamanisha, nabambi bakute ngofu shakusengula ne kunyamfwa nabambi, kayi nekuba batangunishi nambi kwamba milaka yabula kwishibikwa.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
Bonse nkabela kuba batumwa, bonse nkabela kuba bashinshimi, bonse nkabela kuba beshikwiyisha, bonse nkabela kuba nengofu shakwinsa bintu bishikukankamanisha
30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?
nambi kusengula, kayi bonse nkabela kuba nengofu shakwamba milaka yabula kwishibikwa, nambi kuba nengofu shakusansulula bintu bilambwanga.
31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
Amwe kamubikani myoyo yenu pabipo bilayandikinga. Lino ndimulesheni nshila yaina kupita shonse.
