1 Corinthians 12
1 But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.
Me nuanom, merebɛkyerɛ mo nsɛm a ɛfa Honhom Kronkron no akyɛdeɛ no mu. Anuanom, mepɛ sɛ mohunu nokorɛ no.
2 You are conscious that when you were Gentiles, in whatever way you were guided, you went after images without voice or power.
Monim sɛ ɛberɛ a na moyɛ abosonsomfoɔ no na ahoni a awuwu na ɛdi mo so de mo kɔ bɔne mu.
3 So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.
Deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mote aseɛ ne sɛ, obiara a ɔwɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom akwankyerɛ no ka sɛ “Yesu yɛ Awurade,” na ɔnnome Yesu.
4 Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.
Ɛwom sɛ Honhom Kronkron no ara na ɛkyɛ akyɛdeɛ no, nanso saa akyɛdeɛ no gu ahodoɔ.
5 And there are different sorts of servants, but the same Lord.
Akwan ahodoɔ bebree wɔ hɔ a wɔfa so som, nanso Awurade korɔ no ara na wɔsom no.
6 And there are different operations, but the same God, who is working all things in all.
Tumi ahodoɔ bebree wɔ hɔ a wɔnam so som, nanso Onyankopɔn korɔ no ara na ɔma obiara tumi ma wɔde som.
7 But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.
Honhom Kronkron no nam yɛn mmaako mmaako so da ne ho adi ɛkwan bi so ma ɛboa yɛn nyinaa.
8 For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:
Honhom Kronkron no ma obi nyansa na Honhom Kronkron no ara nso ama obi osuahunu.
9 To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;
Saa Honhom Kronkron no ara ma obi gyidie na ɔma obi nso tumi a ɔde sa nyarewa.
10 And to another the power of working wonders; and to another the prophet's word; and to another the power of testing spirits; to another different sorts of tongues; and to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues:
Honhom Kronkron no ma obi tumi ma ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ; obi nso, ɔma no tumi ma ɔka Onyankopɔn asɛm; na ɔfoforɔ nso ɔma no tumi ma ɔtumi kyerɛ nsonsonoeɛ a ɛda akyɛdeɛ a ɛfiri Honhom Kronkron no ne deɛ ɛmfiri Honhom Kronkron no mu. Honhom Kronkron no ma obi tumi ma ɔka kasa foforɔ na ɔma ɔfoforɔ nso tumi ma ɔkyerɛ kasa foforɔ no ase.
11 But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.
Ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron korɔ no ara na ɔyɛ yeinom nyinaa; akyɛdeɛ ahodoɔ a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde ma obiara no, ɔde ma no.
12 For as the body is one, and has a number of parts, and all the parts make one body, so is Christ.
Kristo te sɛ nipadua baako a ɛwɔ akwaa bebree; ɛwom sɛ ɛwɔ akwaa bebree, nanso ɛyɛ onipadua korɔ no ara.
13 For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit.
Wɔnam saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so abɔ yɛn Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ ne nkoa ne yɛn a yɛde yɛn ho no asu. Wɔnam Honhom Kronkron korɔ no so abɔ yɛn asu ahyɛ saa onipadua korɔ no ara mu. Na wɔde saa Honhom Kronkron no ama yɛn sɛ yɛnnom.
14 For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.
Nipadua no ankasa nyɛ akwaa baako; ɛyɛ akwaa bebree.
15 If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body.
Sɛ nan ka sɛ, “Esiane sɛ menyɛ nsa enti, menka onipadua no ho” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ ɔnyɛ onipadua no fa bi.
16 And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.
Na sɛ aso ka sɛ, “Esiane sɛ menyɛ aniwa enti, menka onipadua no ho” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ ɔnyɛ onipadua no fa bi.
17 If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? if all was hearing, where would be the smelling?
Na sɛ onipadua no nyinaa yɛ aniwa a, anka ɛbɛyɛ dɛn ate asɛm? Na sɛ ɛyɛ aso a anka ɛbɛyɛ dɛn ahua adeɛ?
18 But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him.
Sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ no no na ɔde akwaa biara siiɛ.
19 And if they were all one part, where would the body be?
Sɛ onipadua no nyinaa yɛ akwaa korɔ a, anka onipadua no bɛyɛ ɛdeɛn?
20 But now they are all different parts, but one body.
Sɛdeɛ ɛte no, akwaa gu ahodoɔ, nanso onipadua no yɛ baako pɛ.
21 And the eye may not say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Yei enti, aniwa ntumi nka nkyerɛ nsa sɛ, “wo ho nhia me!” Saa ara na etire rentumi nka nkyerɛ nan sɛ, “Wo ho nhia me!”
22 No, those parts which seem to be feeble are the more necessary;
Saa ara na yɛrentumi nyɛ biribiara a akwaa a ɛyɛ mmerɛ no nka ho mma ɛnyɛ yie.
23 And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;
Akwaa a yɛsusu sɛ ɛnni mu pii no mmom na yɛhwɛ no yie, na deɛ ɛnyɛ fɛ wɔ onipadua ho no nso yɛhwɛ no yie pa ara.
24 But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;
Na akwaa a ɛdi mu no, saa ɔhwɛ no ho nhia no. Onyankopɔn ankasa nam ɛkwan bi so akeka onipadua no asisi animu de ahyɛ akwaa a wɔmmuo no animuonyam.
25 So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.
Enti nkyekyɛmu biara nni onipadua no mu. Akwaa no nyinaa keka wɔn ho wɔn ho bom.
26 And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.
Sɛ akwaa baako ho ka a, akwaa a aka no nyinaa ho ka bi. Na sɛ wɔkamfo akwaa no bi a, anigyeɛ ka akwaa a aka no nyinaa.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and every one of you the separate parts of it.
Enti mo nyinaa moyɛ Kristo onipadua. Na mo mu biara yɛ nʼakwaa.
28 And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.
Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ biribiara pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ asafo no mu: Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan, asomafoɔ; deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu, adiyifoɔ; deɛ ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa, akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ; afei wɔn a wɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ ɛnna wɔn a wɔama wɔn tumi de sa yadeɛ anaa wɔboa afoforɔ anaa wɔkyerɛ wɔn ɛkwan anaa wɔka kasa foforɔ.
29 Are all Apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all the power of working wonders?
Wɔn nyinaa nyɛ asomafoɔ anaa adiyifoɔ anaa akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ. Ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔwɔ tumi a wɔde yɛ anwanwadeɛ
30 Are all able to take away disease? have all the power of tongues? are all able to give their sense?
anaa wɔsa nyarewa, anaa wɔka kasa foforɔ anaa wɔkyerɛ deɛ wɔka no ase.
31 But let your desires be turned to the more important things given by the Spirit. And now I am pointing out to you an even better way.
Monhwehwɛ akyɛdeɛ a ɛbɛboa mo yie akyiri kwan. Mɛkyerɛ mo ɛkwan foforɔ a ɛyɛ pa ara.
