1 Corinthians 12
1 And concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant;
Ann wè koulye a keksyon kado Sentespri bay la. Frè m' yo, mwen ta vle nou konnen sa ki vre sou keksyon kado sa yo.
2 you have known that you were nations, being carried away as you were led to the mute idols;
Nou chonje, lè nou pa t' ankò gen konfyans, nou te kite yo mennen nou jan yo vle devan zidòl ki pa t' kapab pale.
3 for this reason, I give you to understand that no one, speaking in the Spirit of God, says Jesus [is] accursed, and no one is able to say Jesus [is] LORD, except in the Holy Spirit.
Se poutèt sa mwen vle nou konn sa byen: Si Sentespri Bondye ap dirije lavi yon moun, li p'ap janm ka di: Madichon pou Jezi. Konsa tou, si Sentespri Bondye p'ap dirije lavi yon moun, li p'ap ka di Jezi se Seyè a.
4 And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;
Gen divès kalite don Sentespri a bay. Men, se menm Lespri Bondye a ki bay tout.
5 and there are diversities of ministries, and the same Lord;
Gen divès jan moun ka sèvi Bondye, men se yon sèl Seyè a n'ap sèvi.
6 and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God—who is working all in all.
Gen divès kalite travay nan sèvis la, men se yon sèl Bondye ki bay chak moun travay pa yo nan tout sèvis k'ap fèt.
7 And to each has been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;
Lespri Bondye a fè travay li yon jan nan lavi chak moun, men li fè l' pou byen tout moun.
8 for to one through the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
Lespri a bay yon moun don pou l' pale avèk bon konprann. Menm Lespri a bay yon lòt moun don pou l' pale avèk anpil konesans.
9 and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;
Se menm Lespri a ki bay yon moun lafwa, se li menm tou ki bay yon lòt don pou l' geri moun malad.
10 and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another [various] kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:
Lespri a bay yon moun don pou fè mirak, li bay yon lòt don pou l' bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye. Li bay yon lòt ankò don pou l' rekonèt travay move lespri yo ak travay Lespri Bondye a. Li bay yon moun don pou l' ka pale langaj, li bay yon lòt don pou l' ka esplike sa pawòl langaj la vle di.
11 and the one and the same Spirit works all these, dividing to each individually as He intends.
Men, se yon sèl Lespri a ki fè tou sa. Li bay chak moun yon kado diferan jan li vle.
12 For even as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ,
Konsa, Kris la se tankou yon kò ki gen anpil manm. Kò a toujou yon sèl kò, ou mèt wè li gen anpil manm.
13 for also in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all were made to drink one Spirit,
Se sak fè, nou menm, kit nou jwif, kit nou pa jwif, kit nou esklav, kit nou pa esklav, nou tout nou te resevwa batèm pou n' te ka fè yon sèl kò ansanm, pa pouvwa yon sèl Lespri a. Nou tout nou te bwè nan yon sèl Lespri a.
14 for also the body is not one member, but many.
Se pa yon sèl manm ki fè yon kò. Se anpil manm ki fè yon kò.
15 If the foot may say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it not, because of this, not of the body?
Si pye te ka di: Paske se pa yon men mwen ye, mwen p'ap fè pati kò a, se pa sa ki pou ta fè l' pa fè pati kò a vre.
16 And if the ear may say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it not, because of this, not of the body?
Si zòrèy te ka di: Paske se pa yon grenn je mwen ye, mwen p'ap fè pati kò a, se pa sa ki pou ta fè l' pa fè pati kò a vre.
17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? If the whole hearing, where the smelling?
Si tout kò a te yon grenn je, ki jan l' ta ka tande? Si l' te yon zòrèy, ki jan l' ta ka pran sant?
18 And now, God set the members, each one of them in the body, according as He willed,
Men, Bondye mete divès manm nan plas yo nan kò a, jan l' vle.
19 and if all were one member, where [is] the body?
Pa ta gen yon kò si tout te yon sèl kalite manm.
20 And now, indeed, [are] many members, but one body;
Konsa, gen anpil manm, men gen yon sèl kò.
21 and an eye is not able to say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
Nan kondisyon sa a, grenn je a pa ka di men an: Mwen pa bezwen ou. Tèt la pa ka di pye yo: Mwen pa bezwen nou.
22 But much more the members of the body seeming to be weaker are necessary,
Okontrè, manm ki parèt pi fèb nan kò nou, se yo ki pi nesesè.
23 and those that we think to be less honorable of the body, around these we put more abundant honor, and our unseemly things have more abundant seemliness,
Manm nou pa bay gwo konsiderasyon nan kò nou, nou pran swen yo plis pase lòt yo. Manm ki pa konvenab pou nou pale sou yo an sosyete, se yo menm ki resevwa yon swen apa.
24 and our seemly things have no need; but God tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to the lacking part,
Manm nan kò nou ki pi prezantab, yo pa bezwen tou sa. Bondye ranje kò a yon jan pou manm ki pa jwenn anpil konsiderasyon an se li ki jwenn plis swen pase lòt yo.
25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,
Konsa, pa gen divizyon nan kò a. Men tout manm yo yonn pran swen lòt menm jan an.
26 and whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with [it], or one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with [it];
Si yon manm nan kò a ap soufri, tout lòt yo ap soufri avè l' tou. Si yon manm resevwa lwanj, tout lòt yo kontan avèk li.
27 and you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Nou tout, nou se kò Kris la: nou chak se yon manm nan kò sa a.
28 And some, indeed, God set in the Assembly: first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterward powers, afterward gifts of healings, helpings, governings, various kinds of tongues.
Se konsa, nou wè nan legliz la Bondye mete apòt yo an premye, pwofèt yo an dezyèm, dirèktè yo an twazyèm. Apre sa, nou jwenn moun k'ap fè mirak, moun ki gen don pou geri moun malad, moun k'ap ede lòt, moun k'ap dirije, moun ki gen don pou pale divès lang.
29 [Are] all apostles? [Are] all prophets? [Are] all teachers? [Are] all powers?
Men, tout moun pa apòt, tout moun pa pwofèt, tout moun pa dirèktè, tout moun pa gen don pou fè mirak.
30 [Do] all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
Tout moun pa gen don pou geri moun malad. Tout moun pa gen don pou pale langaj, osinon pou esplike sans pawòl langaj la.
31 And earnestly desire the better gifts; and yet I show to you a far [more] excelling way:
Nan fon kè nou, se pou nou chache gen don ki pi enpòtan yo. Men, mwen pral moutre nou yon jan ki bon nèt. Pa gen pase li.
