< 1 Corinthians 12 >

1 Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ha ũhoro wa iheo cia kĩĩroho-rĩ, ndikwenda mũikare mũrigĩtwo nĩguo.
2 You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũteetĩkĩtie Ngai, nĩmwaguucagĩrĩrio na mũkerekerio kũrĩ mĩhianano ĩtangĩaria.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ waragia ahotithĩtio nĩ Roho wa Ngai ũngiuga atĩrĩ, “Jesũ aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi,” na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kuuga atĩrĩ, “Jesũ nĩ Mwathani,” atatongoretio nĩ Roho Mũtheru.
4 Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit;
Na rĩrĩ, iheo iria iheanagwo nĩ mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Roho ũrĩa ũciheanaga no ũmwe.
5 And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;
O na njĩra cia gũtungata nĩ mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Mwathani ũrĩa ũtungatagwo no ũmwe.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.
Ningĩ kũrĩ mĩrutĩre ya wĩra mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Ngai no ũmwe ũrĩa ũhotithagia maũndũ mothe gwĩkĩka thĩinĩ wa andũ othe.
7 And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.
Na rĩrĩ, o mũndũ nĩaheagwo ũndũ wa kuonania atĩ arĩ na Roho, naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩ wa kũguna andũ othe.
8 To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
Roho ũcio nĩwe ũheaga mũndũ ũmwe ndũmĩrĩri ya ũũgĩ, na ũngĩ akaheo ũmenyo nĩ Roho o ro ũcio,
9 To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit;
nake ũngĩ akaheo wĩtĩkio nĩ Roho o ro ũcio, na ũngĩ akaheo iheo cia kũhonania nĩ Roho o ro ũcio,
10 To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.
nake ũngĩ akaheo hinya wa kũringa ciama, na ũngĩ akaheo ũrathi, na ũngĩ akaheo gũkũũrana maroho, na ũngĩ akaheo kwaria na thiomi mĩthemba mĩthemba, ningĩ ũngĩ akaheo ũhoti wa gũtaũra thiomi icio.
11 But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.
Maũndũ macio mothe nĩ wĩra wa Roho o ro ũcio ũmwe, nake agayagĩra o mũndũ o ũrĩa ekwenda.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.
Mwĩrĩ wa mũndũ nĩ ũmwe, o na gwatuĩka ũrĩ ciĩga nyingĩ; ningĩ o na gwatuĩka ciĩga ciaguo ciothe nĩ nyingĩ-rĩ, ciothe no mwĩrĩ o ũmwe. Ũguo noguo Kristũ atariĩ.
13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.
Nĩgũkorwo ithuothe twabatithirio na Roho ũmwe tũgĩtuĩka a mwĩrĩ ũmwe, o na tũrĩ Ayahudi kana tũrĩ Ayunani, tũrĩ ngombo o na kana tũtarĩ ngombo, na ithuothe tũkĩnyuithio Roho o ro ũcio ũmwe.
14 For the body also is not one member, but many.
Na rĩrĩ, mwĩrĩ ndũkoragwo na kĩĩga kĩmwe, no nĩ wa ciĩga nyingĩ.
15 If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
Kũgũrũ kũngiuga atĩ, “Tondũ ti niĩ guoko-rĩ, ndirĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũyũ,” Ũndũ ũcio ndũngĩtũma gũtige gũtuĩka kĩĩga kĩa mwĩrĩ ũcio.
16 And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
Nakuo gũtũ kũngiuga atĩ, “Tondũ ti niĩ riitho-rĩ, ndirĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũcio,” nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu gũtingĩtiga gũtuĩka kĩĩga kĩa mwĩrĩ ũcio.
17 If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
Mwĩrĩ wothe ũngĩkorwo no riitho-rĩ, kũigua tũngĩiguaga na kĩ? Mwĩrĩ wothe ũngĩkorwo no gũtũ-rĩ, kũnungĩra tũngĩnungagĩra na kĩ?
18 But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.
No ũrĩa kũrĩ, nĩ atĩ Ngai nĩ eekĩrire ciĩga ciothe thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, agĩciĩkĩra o ta ũrĩa eendaga ciikare.
19 And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
Ciĩga ciothe ingĩtuĩka nĩ kĩĩga kĩmwe-rĩ, mwĩrĩ naguo ũngĩkorwo ha?
20 But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.
Ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ ciĩga nĩ nyingĩ, no mwĩrĩ nĩ ũmwe.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help; nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.
Riitho rĩtingĩhota kwĩra guoko atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na bata nawe!” Naguo mũtwe wĩre magũrũ atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na bata na inyuĩ!”
22 Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, ciĩga cia mwĩrĩ iria cionekaga itarĩ hinya, nĩcio irĩ bata makĩria,
23 And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness.
nacio ciĩga iria tuonaga ta itarĩ cia gũtĩĩo mũno-rĩ, nĩcio tũheaga gĩtĩĩo kĩa mwanya. Nacio ciĩga iria tuonaga ta itagĩrĩire kuoneka nĩimenyagĩrĩrwo mũno,
24 But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,
o rĩrĩa ciĩga ciitũ iria itarĩ cia kũhithwo itabataragio nĩkũmenyererwo mũno. No Ngai nĩanyiitithanĩtie ciĩga cia mwĩrĩ na agatĩĩithia makĩria ciĩga iria ciagĩte gĩtĩĩo,
25 That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.
nĩgeetha gũtikae kũgĩa na nyamũkano thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, no nĩgeetha ciĩga ciaguo imenyanagĩrĩre o kĩĩga na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
26 And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.
Kĩĩga kĩmwe kĩngĩnyariirĩka, ciĩga iria ingĩ inyariirĩkaga hamwe nakĩo; nakĩo kĩĩga kĩmwe kĩngĩheo gĩtĩĩo-rĩ, o nacio ciĩga iria ingĩ nĩikenaga hamwe nakĩo.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members of member.
Na rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ mwĩrĩ wa Kristũ, na o mũndũ wanyu nĩ kĩĩga kĩaguo.
28 And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that miracles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.
Nakuo thĩinĩ wa kanitha, Ngai nĩathuurĩte mbere andũ amwe matuĩke atũmwo, a keerĩ anabii, a gatatũ arutani, o na ningĩ kũgĩe na aringi a ciama, o na arĩa marĩ na iheo cia kũhonania mĩrimũ, na arĩa marĩ na ũhoti wa gũteithia arĩa angĩ, na arĩa marĩ na iheo cia ũtabarĩri, na arĩa maaragia na thiomi mĩthemba mĩthemba.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?
Andũ othe nĩ atũmwo? Andũ othe nĩ anabii? Andũ othe nĩ arutani? Andũ othe nĩ aringi a ciama?
30 Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
Andũ othe nĩmaheetwo iheo cia kũhonania? Andũ othe nĩmakĩaragia na thiomi? Andũ othe nĩmagĩtaũraga thiomi?
31 But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.
No rĩrĩ, mwĩriragĩriei iheo iria irĩ bata mũno. Na rĩu nĩngũmuonia njĩra ĩrĩa njega makĩria.
