1 Corinthians 12
1 Now about “spiritual gifts.” My brothers and sisters, I want to explain this to you.
he bhrAtaraH, yUyaM yad AtmikAn dAyAn anavagatAstiSThatha tadahaM nAbhilaSAmi|
2 You know that when you were pagans, you were deceived, being led astray by worshiping idols who couldn't even speak.
pUrvvaM bhinnajAtIyA yUyaM yadvad vinItAstadvad avAkpratimAnAm anugAmina Adhbam iti jAnItha|
3 Let me make it clear to you: no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, “Curse Jesus!” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord!” except by the Holy Spirit.
iti hetorahaM yuSmabhyaM nivedayAmi, IzvarasyAtmanA bhASamANaH ko'pi yIzuM zapta iti na vyAharati, punazca pavitreNAtmanA vinItaM vinAnyaH ko'pi yIzuM prabhuriti vyAharttuM na zaknoti|
4 Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they come from the same Spirit.
dAyA bahuvidhAH kintveka AtmA
5 There are different kinds of ministries, but they come from the same Lord.
paricaryyAzca bahuvidhAH kintvekaH prabhuH|
6 There are different ways of working, but they come from the same God, who is at work in all of them.
sAdhanAni bahuvidhAni kintu sarvveSu sarvvasAdhaka Izvara ekaH|
7 The Spirit is given to each of us and is revealed for the good of all.
ekaikasmai tasyAtmano darzanaM parahitArthaM dIyate|
8 One person is given by the Spirit the ability to speak words of wisdom. Another is given a message of knowledge by the same Spirit.
ekasmai tenAtmanA jJAnavAkyaM dIyate, anyasmai tenaivAtmanAdiSTaM vidyAvAkyam,
9 Another receives the gift of strongly trusting in God by the same Spirit. Another receives gifts of healing from that one Spirit.
anyasmai tenaivAtmanA vizvAsaH, anyasmai tenaivAtmanA svAsthyadAnazaktiH,
10 Another is given the ability to perform miracles. Another receives the gift of prophecy. Another is given the gift of spiritual discernment. Another receives the ability to speak different languages while another is given the gift of interpreting languages.
anyasmai duHsAdhyasAdhanazaktiranyasmai cezvarIyAdezaH, anyasmai cAtimAnuSikasyAdezasya vicArasAmarthyam, anyasmai parabhASAbhASaNazaktiranyasmai ca bhASArthabhASaNasAmaryaM dIyate|
11 But all of these gifts are the work of the one and the same Spirit, sharing with each person as he alone chooses.
ekenAdvitIyenAtmanA yathAbhilASam ekaikasmai janAyaikaikaM dAnaM vitaratA tAni sarvvANi sAdhyante|
12 Just like the human body is one unit but has many parts—all the parts of the body even though there are many of them, make up one body—so is Christ.
deha ekaH sannapi yadvad bahvaGgayukto bhavati, tasyaikasya vapuSo 'GgAnAM bahutvena yadvad ekaM vapu rbhavati, tadvat khrISTaH|
13 For it was through one Spirit that we were all baptized into one body. It doesn't matter whether we are Jews or Greeks, slave or free—we all were given the one Spirit to drink.
yato heto ryihUdibhinnajAtIyadAsasvatantrA vayaM sarvve majjanenaikenAtmanaikadehIkRtAH sarvve caikAtmabhuktA abhavAma|
14 The body is not made of one part, but many parts.
ekenAGgena vapu rna bhavati kintu bahubhiH|
15 If the foot were to say, “Because I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body,” would that make it not part of the body?
tatra caraNaM yadi vadet nAhaM hastastasmAt zarIrasya bhAgo nAsmIti tarhyanena zarIrAt tasya viyogo na bhavati|
16 If the ear were to say, “Because I'm not an eye, I'm not part of the body,” would that make it not part of the body?
zrotraM vA yadi vadet nAhaM nayanaM tasmAt zarIrasyAMzo nAsmIti tarhyanena zarIrAt tasya viyogo na bhavati|
17 If the whole body was an eye, how could you hear anything? If the whole body was an ear, how could you smell anything?
kRtsnaM zarIraM yadi darzanendriyaM bhavet tarhi zravaNendriyaM kutra sthAsyati? tat kRtsnaM yadi vA zravaNendriyaM bhavet tarhi ghraNendriyaM kutra sthAsyati?
18 But God has arranged each part in the body, every last one of them, placing them just as he wanted.
kintvidAnIm IzvareNa yathAbhilaSitaM tathaivAGgapratyaGgAnAm ekaikaM zarIre sthApitaM|
19 If they were all the same part, what would happen to the body?
tat kRtsnaM yadyekAGgarUpi bhavet tarhi zarIre kutra sthAsyati?
20 However, since there are many parts, they make up the body.
tasmAd aGgAni bahUni santi zarIraM tvekameva|
21 The eye can't tell the hand, “I don't need you,” or the head tell the feet, “I don't need you.”
ataeva tvayA mama prayojanaM nAstIti vAcaM pANiM vadituM nayanaM na zaknoti, tathA yuvAbhyAM mama prayojanaM nAstIti mUrddhA caraNau vadituM na zaknotiH;
22 Quite the opposite: some of those parts of the body that seem the most insignificant are the most essential.
vastutastu vigrahasya yAnyaGgAnyasmAbhi rdurbbalAni budhyante tAnyeva saprayojanAni santi|
23 In fact those parts of the body we do not consider to be decent to reveal we “honor” more by covering them up—what is indecent we treat with greater modesty!
yAni ca zarIramadhye'vamanyAni budhyate tAnyasmAbhiradhikaM zobhyante| yAni ca kudRzyAni tAni sudRzyatarANi kriyante
24 What's presentable doesn't need such covering up. God has so arranged the body that more honor is given to the parts that are less presentable.
kintu yAni svayaM sudRzyAni teSAM zobhanam niSprayojanaM|
25 This is so there wouldn't be any conflict within the body—the different parts should care equally for each other.
zarIramadhye yad bhedo na bhavet kintu sarvvANyaGgAni yad aikyabhAvena sarvveSAM hitaM cintayanti tadartham IzvareNApradhAnam AdaraNIyaM kRtvA zarIraM viracitaM|
26 So when one part is suffering, all the other parts of the body suffer with it, and when one part is treated well, then all the other parts of the body are happy too!
tasmAd ekasyAGgasya pIDAyAM jAtAyAM sarvvANyaGgAni tena saha pIDyante, ekasya samAdare jAte ca sarvvANi tena saha saMhRSyanti|
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one makes up a part of it.
yUyaJca khrISTasya zarIraM, yuSmAkam ekaikazca tasyaikaikam aGgaM|
28 In the church, God has arranged first for some to be apostles, secondly for some to be prophets, thirdly teachers. Then there are those who perform miracles, those with healing gifts, those who can help others, those good at administration, and those who can speak different languages.
kecit kecit samitAvIzvareNa prathamataH preritA dvitIyata IzvarIyAdezavaktArastRtIyata upadeSTAro niyuktAH, tataH paraM kebhyo'pi citrakAryyasAdhanasAmarthyam anAmayakaraNazaktirupakRtau lokazAsane vA naipuNyaM nAnAbhASAbhASaNasAmarthyaM vA tena vyatAri|
29 Not everyone is an apostle, or a prophet, or a teacher, or able to perform miracles.
sarvve kiM preritAH? sarvve kim IzvarIyAdezavaktAraH? sarvve kim upadeSTAraH? sarvve kiM citrakAryyasAdhakAH?
30 Not all have healing gifts, or the ability to speak languages, or to interpret languages.
sarvve kim anAmayakaraNazaktiyuktAH? sarvve kiM parabhASAvAdinaH? sarvve vA kiM parabhASArthaprakAzakAH?
31 But you should really want to have the most significant gifts. So now I will show you a far better way.
