1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Me nuanom, merebɛkyerɛ mo nsɛm a ɛfa Honhom Kronkron no akyɛdeɛ no mu. Anuanom, mepɛ sɛ mohunu nokorɛ no.
2 You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.
Monim sɛ ɛberɛ a na moyɛ abosonsomfoɔ no na ahoni a awuwu na ɛdi mo so de mo kɔ bɔne mu.
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.
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 diversities of graces, but the same Spirit;
Ɛwom sɛ Honhom Kronkron no ara na ɛkyɛ akyɛdeɛ no, nanso saa akyɛdeɛ no gu ahodoɔ.
5 And there are diversities of ministries, 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 diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.
Tumi ahodoɔ bebree wɔ hɔ a wɔnam so som, nanso Onyankopɔn korɔ no ara na ɔma obiara tumi ma wɔde som.
7 And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.
Honhom Kronkron no nam yɛn mmaako mmaako so da ne ho adi ɛkwan bi so ma ɛboa yɛn nyinaa.
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;
Honhom Kronkron no ma obi nyansa na Honhom Kronkron no ara nso ama obi osuahunu.
9 To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit;
Saa Honhom Kronkron no ara ma obi gyidie na ɔma obi nso tumi a ɔde sa nyarewa.
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.
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 things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.
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 hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.
Kristo te sɛ nipadua baako a ɛwɔ akwaa bebree; ɛwom sɛ ɛwɔ akwaa bebree, nanso ɛyɛ onipadua korɔ no ara.
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.
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 also is not one member, but many.
Nipadua no ankasa nyɛ akwaa baako; ɛyɛ akwaa bebree.
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?
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 should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
Na sɛ aso ka sɛ, “Esiane sɛ menyɛ aniwa enti, menka onipadua no ho” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ ɔnyɛ onipadua no fa bi.
17 If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were 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 hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.
Sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ no no na ɔde akwaa biara siiɛ.
19 And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
Sɛ onipadua no nyinaa yɛ akwaa korɔ a, anka onipadua no bɛyɛ ɛdeɛn?
20 But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.
Sɛdeɛ ɛte no, akwaa gu ahodoɔ, nanso onipadua no yɛ baako pɛ.
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.
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 Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.
Saa ara na yɛrentumi nyɛ biribiara a akwaa a ɛyɛ mmerɛ no nka ho mma ɛnyɛ yie.
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.
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 our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,
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 That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.
Enti nkyekyɛmu biara nni onipadua no mu. Akwaa no nyinaa keka wɔn ho wɔn ho bom.
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.
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 members of member.
Enti mo nyinaa moyɛ Kristo onipadua. Na mo mu biara yɛ nʼakwaa.
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.
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 doctors?
Wɔn nyinaa nyɛ asomafoɔ anaa adiyifoɔ anaa akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ. Ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔwɔ tumi a wɔde yɛ anwanwadeɛ
30 Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
anaa wɔsa nyarewa, anaa wɔka kasa foforɔ anaa wɔkyerɛ deɛ wɔka no ase.
31 But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.
Monhwehwɛ akyɛdeɛ a ɛbɛboa mo yie akyiri kwan. Mɛkyerɛ mo ɛkwan foforɔ a ɛyɛ pa ara.
