1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
Azɔ la, nɔviwo, medi be maŋlɔ nu na mi tso nunana tɔxɛ siwo Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la naa mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe la ŋu, elabena nyemedi be nugɔmemasemase aɖeke nanɔ wo ŋu o.
2 You know that when you were unbelievers, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
Miaɖo ŋku edzi be hafi miazu kristotɔwo la, mienye trɔ̃subɔlawo. Mietso legba ɖeka gbɔ yi bubu gbɔ, eye wolé míaƒe susu hekplɔ mi trae le legba maƒonu siawo gbɔe.
3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.
Medi be mianya be ame sia ame si tsɔ Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le nu ƒom la, mate ŋu agblɔ be, “Yesu ƒe fiƒode neva dziwò” o, eye ame aɖeke mate ŋu agblɔ nyateƒetɔe be, “Yesu nye Aƒetɔ” o, negbe to Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu me ko.
4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Azɔ la, nunana tɔxɛ ƒomevi geɖewo li gake Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe ɖeka ma koe nye wo katã ƒe dzɔtsoƒe.
5 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
Subɔsubɔdɔ vovovowo li, ke Aƒetɔ ɖeka ma ko subɔm míele.
6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.
Mawu toa mɔ vovovowo dzi wɔa eƒe dɔ le míaƒe agbenɔnɔ me, ke Mawu ɖeka ma ke koe wɔa eƒe dɔ to mí ame siwo katã nye etɔwo la dzi.
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ɖea Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ fiana toa mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me eye wòtoa esia dzi kpena ɖe hame blibo la ŋu.
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
Gbɔgbɔ la naa ŋutete ame aɖe be wòaɖo aɖaŋu nyuie. Ame bubu anyo ŋutɔ le nusɔsrɔ̃ kple nufiafia me, eye esiae nye eya hã ƒe nunana tso Gbɔgbɔ ma ke gbɔ.
9 to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the one Spirit;
Gbɔgbɔ la kee naa xɔse ame aɖe eye wònaa dɔyɔyɔ ƒe ŋusẽ ame bubu.
10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues.
Enaa ŋusẽ ame aɖewo be woawɔ nukunuwo, eye wònaa nyagblɔɖi kple mawunyagbɔgblɔ ƒe ŋusẽ ame bubuwo! Enaa ŋusẽ ame aɖewo be woanya nenye gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃woe le nu ƒom to ame siwo be Mawu ƒe nya gblɔm yewole la dzi loo alo nenye Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔe le nu ƒom nyateƒe. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, enaa ŋusẽ ame aɖe be wòate ŋu agblɔ gbe si mesrɔ̃ kpɔ o, eye wònaa ŋusẽ ame bubu siwo hã menya gbe ma o la be woase nu si gblɔm nuƒola la le gɔme.
11 But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe ɖeka ma ke koe naa ŋusẽ kple nunana siawo katã eye wòtiaa esi dze na mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe la na mí.
12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
Ŋutinu geɖewo le míaƒe ŋutilã ŋu, ke ŋutinu geɖe siawo la, ŋutilã ɖeka ko wozuna ne wotsɔ wo katã ƒo ƒu. Nenema tututue wòle le Kristo ƒe “ŋutilã” gome hã,
13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink of one Spirit.
elabena wotsɔ Gbɔgbɔ ɖeka ma de mawutsi ta na mí katã ɖe ŋutilã ɖeka me, eye mí katã mieno Gbɔgbɔ ɖeka ma, eɖanye Yudatɔ o, alo Grikitɔ o, kluvi alo ablɔɖevi o.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
Ɛ̃, ŋutinu geɖewo le ŋutilã la ŋu, menye ŋutinu ɖeka koe wɔ ŋutilã o.
15 If the foot would say, "Because I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body," that would not make it less a part of the body.
Ne afɔ agblɔ be, “Nyemenye ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖe o, elabena nyemenye asi o” la, mefia be eya ta afɔ menye ŋutinu abe bubuawo ene o.
16 And if the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," that would not make it less a part of the body.
Nu ka nàbu ne èse to wògblɔ be, “Nyemenye ŋutilã la ƒe akpa aɖeke o elabena to ko menye, nyemenye ŋku o”? Ɖe esia awɔe be megade blibo abe ŋutinu ɖeka ene oa?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
Ne ŋutilã blibo la nye ŋku ko la, ekema aleke wòawɔ hafi ase nu? Alo ne wò ŋutilã blibo la nye to gã ɖeka la, aleke nàwɔ hafi ase nane ƒe ʋeʋẽ?
18 But as a matter of fact, God has arranged the members of the body, each one of them, according to his design.
Ke, menye nenemae Mawu wɔ mí o. Ewɔ míaƒe ŋutilã ƒe ŋutinu geɖewo eye wòtsɔ ŋutinu ɖe sia ɖe ɖo afi si tututu wòdi be wòanɔ.
19 If they were all the same member, where would the body be?
Míaƒe ŋutilã anye nu wɔnuku aɖe ne wònye ŋutinu ɖeka koe wɔe!
20 So now there are many members, but one body.
Eya ta Mawu wɔ ŋutinu geɖewo, ke ŋutilã ɖeka koe li.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."
Ŋku mate ŋu agblɔ na asi be, “Nyemehiã wò o.” Ta mate ŋu agblɔ na afɔ be, “Nyemehiã wò o.”
22 On the contrary, those members which seem to be weaker are essential,
Ŋutinu siwo míabu be wonye nu gblɔewo, eye womele vevie o la woe nye esiwo hiã wu.
23 and the parts which we think less honorable we treat with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with dignity,
Ɛ̃, dzi dzɔa mí ŋutɔ be ŋutinu aɖewo le mía ŋu, eye wodzena abe bubu mele wo ŋu o ene. Míeɣlaa ŋutinu siwo ame bubuwo makpɔ o,
24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the lesser member,
ke míeɣlaa ŋutinu siwo ame bubuwo ate ŋu akpɔ la nenema o. Ale Mawu wɔ ŋutilã le mɔ sia nu be míatsɔ bubu kple beléle na ŋutinu tɔxɛ aɖewo, ne menye nenema o la, adze abe ɖe womele vevie tututu o ene.
25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern for one another.
Nu sia naa dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nɔa ŋutinuwo dome, ale ŋutinuawo tsɔa beléle na wo nɔewo abe woawo ŋutɔ ke ene.
26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.
Ne fukpekpe va ŋutinu ɖeka dzi la, ŋutinu bubuawo katã kpea fu kplii, ke ne wode bubu ŋutinu ɖeka ŋu la, bubuawo katã tsoa aseye.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
Nu si mele agbagba dzem be magblɔ lae nye esi. Mí katã míeƒo ƒu zu Kristo ƒe ŋutilã ɖeka, eye mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nye eƒe ŋutinu ɖeka si le vevie.
28 God has set some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of tongues.
Nu siawoe nye ɖoƒe siwo Mawu ɖo ɖe eƒe hame si nye eƒe ŋutilã me la dometɔ aɖewo. Gbãtɔ, apostolowo; evelia, nyagblɔɖilawo; etɔ̃lia, nufialawo; emegbe nukunuwɔlawo, dɔyɔlawo, kpekpeɖeŋunalawo, dɔdzikpɔlawo, ame siwo ƒoa nu kple gbegbɔgblɔ bubu ƒomeviwo.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
Ame sia amee nye apostoloa? Ao! Ame sia amee nye nyagblɔɖilaa? Ao! Ame sia amee nye nufialaa? Ɖe ŋusẽ le ame sia ame si be wòawɔ nukunuwoa?
30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
Ɖe ame sia ame si xɔ amenuveve ƒe nunana ate ŋu ayɔ dɔ dɔnɔwoa? Kura o! Ɖe Mawu na ŋusẽ mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe be míaƒo nu le gbe siwo míesrɔ̃ kpɔ o la mea? Ɖe ame sia ame ate ŋu ase nu si gbe bubu gblɔlawo le gbɔgblɔm, eye wòaɖe egɔmea?
31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
Ao, ke midze agbagba be miaƒe asi nasu nunana siwo le vevie wu esiawo la dzi. Azɔ la, mina maƒo nu na mi tso mɔ bubu aɖe si nyo wu esiawo katã la ŋu.
