< 1 Corinthians 12 >
1 But, concerning the spiritually gifted, brethren, I am not wishing you to be ignorant.
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ha ũhoro wa iheo cia kĩĩroho-rĩ, ndikwenda mũikare mũrigĩtwo nĩguo.
2 Ye know that, when ye were of the nations, unto the dumb idols, howsoever ye were being led, ye were seduced.
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũteetĩkĩtie Ngai, nĩmwaguucagĩrĩrio na mũkerekerio kũrĩ mĩhianano ĩtangĩaria.
3 Wherefore, I give you to know—that, no one, in God’s Spirit speaking, saith—Accursed Jesus! and, no one, can say—Lord Jesus! save in [the] Holy Spirit.
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 But, distributions of gifts, there are, yet the same Spirit,
Na rĩrĩ, iheo iria iheanagwo nĩ mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Roho ũrĩa ũciheanaga no ũmwe.
5 And, distributions of ministries, there are, and the same Lord,
O na njĩra cia gũtungata nĩ mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Mwathani ũrĩa ũtungatagwo no ũmwe.
6 And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God—who energiseth all things in all.
Ningĩ kũrĩ mĩrutĩre ya wĩra mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Ngai no ũmwe ũrĩa ũhotithagia maũndũ mothe gwĩkĩka thĩinĩ wa andũ othe.
7 But, unto each one, is given the manifesting of the Spirit, with a view to that which is profitable;
Na rĩrĩ, o mũndũ nĩaheagwo ũndũ wa kuonania atĩ arĩ na Roho, naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩ wa kũguna andũ othe.
8 For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a 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 Unto a different one, faith, in the same Spirit, and, unto another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit,
nake ũngĩ akaheo wĩtĩkio nĩ Roho o ro ũcio, na ũngĩ akaheo iheo cia kũhonania nĩ Roho o ro ũcio,
10 And, unto another, energies of mighty works, [and], unto another, prophesying, [and], unto another, discriminations of spirits, —unto a different one, kinds of tongues, and, unto another, translation of tongues; —
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, energiseth the one and the same Spirit, distributing unto each one, peculiarly, even as it is disposed.
Maũndũ macio mothe nĩ wĩra wa Roho o ro ũcio ũmwe, nake agayagĩra o mũndũ o ũrĩa ekwenda.
12 For, just as, the body, is one, and yet hath many members, but, all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so, also, the 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, even to one Spirit, we all, into one body, have been immersed, —whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, —and, all, of one Spirit, have been caused 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 Though the foot should say—Because I am not a 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, though the ear should say—Because I am not an 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, an eye, where were the hearing? If, the whole were, hearing, where were, 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, hath God set the members, each one of them in the body, even as he pleased.
No ũrĩa kũrĩ, nĩ atĩ Ngai nĩ eekĩrire ciĩga ciothe thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, agĩciĩkĩra o ta ũrĩa eendaga ciikare.
19 But, if they all had been one member, Where had been, the body?
Ciĩga ciothe ingĩtuĩka nĩ kĩĩga kĩmwe-rĩ, mwĩrĩ naguo ũngĩkorwo ha?
20 Now, however there are many members, yet one body;
Ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ ciĩga nĩ nyingĩ, no mwĩrĩ nĩ ũmwe.
21 [And] the eye cannot say unto the hand—I have no need of thee, —nor, again, the head, unto 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 Nay! much more, the members which seem to be weaker are necessary,
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, ciĩga cia mwĩrĩ iria cionekaga itarĩ hinya, nĩcio irĩ bata makĩria,
23 And, the parts of the body which we deem to be less honourable, on these, more abundant honour, do we bestow, and, 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 Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together, —unto that which was lacking, giving 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 division in the body, but that the members might have, the same, care, one for another;
nĩgeetha gũtikae kũgĩa na nyamũkano thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, no nĩgeetha ciĩga ciaguo imenyanagĩrĩre o kĩĩga na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
26 And, whether one member, suffereth, all the members, suffer with it, or, a member is glorified, all the members, rejoice together.
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, ye, are the body of Christ, and members severally; —
Na rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ mwĩrĩ wa Kristũ, na o mũndũ wanyu nĩ kĩĩga kĩaguo.
28 And God hath, indeed, set, certain, in the assembly, —first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that mighty works, then gifts of healings, helps, guidings, kinds of tongues.
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 teachers? Are all mighty works?
Andũ othe nĩ atũmwo? Andũ othe nĩ anabii? Andũ othe nĩ arutani? Andũ othe nĩ aringi a ciama?
30 Have, all, gifts of healings? Do, all, with tongues, speak? Do, all, translate?
Andũ othe nĩmaheetwo iheo cia kũhonania? Andũ othe nĩmakĩaragia na thiomi? Andũ othe nĩmagĩtaũraga thiomi?
31 Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out: —
No rĩrĩ, mwĩriragĩriei iheo iria irĩ bata mũno. Na rĩu nĩngũmuonia njĩra ĩrĩa njega makĩria.
