1 Corinthians 12
1 Now, my fellow believers, [I will answer your questions] about the things God’s Spirit [enables believers to do]. I want you to know clearly [LIT] [about these things].
Ukhukongana nifikungilwa fya munumbula valukolo lwango saninoywa msite ukhulumanya.
2 You know that before you became Christians, various things led you to [worship] idols, which are unable to tell you [any of God’s message].
Mulumanyile ukhuta upu mukhale vakaya nukhagende lelaga ukhukonga ifihwani ifipunjiwe, khunjeila nchu nchooni mukhalongonjiwaga nincho.
3 So [the first thing] that I will tell you now is that it is not the Spirit of God who would cause anyone to say, “Jesus deserved to die,” and that the Holy Spirit is the only one who can enable anyone to say, “Jesus is [truly] the Lord.”
Pu leino ninogwa mulumanye ukhuta asikhuli na umo uveinchova mufikungilwa ifya mepo va Nguluve, umunu vuita, “UYeisu akotoliwe.” Asikhuli uviyakhiva iita, “UYeisu viNtwa epo yinave mwa mepo umbalanche.
4 There are various things [that God’s] Spirit enables [various believers to do], but it is that same Spirit [who enables us to do them].
Leino khulifikungilwa ifilipapingi pu umepo vei yula yula.
5 There are many different ways to serve [the Lord], but it is the same Lord [whom we all are serving].
Pu khuli vutangeili levulei papingi, pu uNtwa alei yula yula.
6 [We believers] have the power to do various [tasks], but it is the same God who gives all of us the power [to do] these things.
Pu khulei mbombo inchili papingi, uNguluve alei yula yulauveikhunchivomba imbombo nchooni muvooni.
7 [God’s] Spirit gives his power to each believer in order to benefit all the other [believers].
Pu khila munu ikhyupeilila uluvonekhelo lwa Mepo mbu kavi wa vooni.
8 To some, the Spirit gives the ability to speak very wise messages. To others, the same Spirit gives the ability to know [things that he reveals to them].
Pakhuva umunu yumo apevilwe nu mepo elimenyu eliavumunu pu uyunge elimenyu eilya vumanyi khu Mepo yulayula.
9 To others, the same Spirit gives the ability to believe [that God will work miracles]. To others, the Spirit gives the ability to heal [sick people].
Pu uyunge ikhupa ulweidukho khu Mepo yuywa ula, na khuyunge ekhikungilwa eikya khuponia khu Mepo umo.
10 To others, he gives the power [to perform] miracles. To others, he gives the ability to speak messages that come directly from God. To others, he gives the ability to tell [if a message is really from God or not]. To others he gives the ability to speak messages in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned]. To others, he gives the ability to tell the meaning of those messages [MTY].
Khuyunge emivombele eminonu, nu yunge uvunyamalago, na uyunge ukhuganulania eiMepo kyunge ukhuganula einjo veele.
11 It is the same Spirit who gives all these abilities. He gives whatever abilities he wants to give, to whatever person he wants to give them.
Pu uMepo alei yula yula uveivomba inchi nchooni ukhupa khila munu ikhikungilwa ukhukongana neikhiegelelo khyavulamunchi wa mwene yuywa.
12 Although a person’s body has many parts, all the parts form just one body [DOU]. It is like that [with those who belong to] Christ.
Ulwakhuva yieleihine ndumbeile gumo nagyoope gulienifimagikha fingi, ifimagikha fyooni fya mbeili gula gula vuvavwa nayu Klisite.
13 When we were baptized {When people baptized us}, the one [Holy] Spirit caused us to become one group [of believers]. It does not matter whether we are Jews or non-Jews. It does not matter whether we are slaves or not slaves. [When we believed in Christ], the one Spirit came to live [MET] within all of us.
Pakhuva mu Mepo umo ufwe tweivooni twa onchiwe ukhuva eimbeile ngumo, ukhuta tulei va Yuta, ama vayunani, tuve tulivavanda ama tuleivalegefu pu tweivooni Twa nywesiwe uMepo umo.
14 [Our] bodies do not have only one part. They have many parts [with various functions].
Ulwa khuva umbeili sagulikhimagikha khimo pufingi.
15 If our foot could [talk and] say [to us], “Because I am not [your] hand, I am not a part of [your] body,” it would still be a part of [our] body.
Pu khingave eikhilunde khiita, “Ulwa khuva une sameili khivokho, pusanilikhimagikha khya mbeili, pusayipela ukhuta khive sakhimagikha khya mbeili.
16 If our ear could [talk and] say, “Because I am not [your] eye, I am not a part of your body,” it would still be a part of our body.
Pu eingave eimbulukhutu yiita, “Ulwa khuva une saneileliho, une pusaneile khimagikha khya mbeile eiyo pusayipela ukhuta yieve sakhimagikha khya mbeili.
17 If our body were only an eye, (we would not be able to hear./how could we hear?) [RHQ] If our body were only an ear, (we would not be able to smell [anything]!/how could we smell [anything]?) [RHQ]
Pu umbeili gyooni gunave liho pukhukhale khwiva ndakhu ukhupulekha? Pu eingave umbeili gyooni gwiva mbulukhutu pukhukhale khwiva ndakhu ukhunusya?
18 But the truth is that God has put all the parts of our bodies together exactly as he wanted to put them.
Pu leino uNguluve aveikhile pasima khila khimagikha eikhya mbeile nduvu asagile yumwene.
19 If [our body] had only one part, it would not be a body. [RHQ]
Pu eingave fyooni fyale five khimagikha khimo umbeile pugukhale gwiva ndakhu?
20 But the truth is that there are many parts [in our body], but it is still only one body.
Pu leino humbe ifi magikha fingi pu mbeile guleigumo.
21 That is why if our eye [could talk], it should never say to our hand, “I do not need you!” And if our head [could talk], it should not say to our feet, “I do not need you!”
Eliho salienogile ukhuta khukhivokho sanili nu vufumbwe nuve pu naguntwe sagukhate khufilunde sanilinu vufumbwe numwe.
22 Instead, the parts of our body that seem to be weaker are the ones that are absolutely necessary.
Pu leino ifimagikha fya mbeili ifyufivonekha ukhuta fikhwimekhiwa padebe fyu filondiwa ukhulutiila.
23 And the parts that we do not think highly of are the parts that we clothe carefully. And we protect carefully those parts that we do not show to people.
Nifimagikha ifya mbeile ifyutusaga ukhuta fikhwimekhiwa padebe tukhufyimekhaga fincho.
24 The parts that are [all right to] show people, we do not need to protect. Instead, God, who has put all the parts of our bodies together, causes us to care for in a special way the parts that we think are less important.
Pu nafifimagikha fyieto ifisafivonekha finonu safili navufumwe uwakhwimekhiwa ulwa khuva fimalile ukhwimekhiwa, pu uNguluve afilunganinche ifimagikha fyooni pupaninie hange afyimekhe fincho fila ifisafikhwimekhiwa.
25 He does that in order that all the parts of our body will work together harmoniously [LIT], and so that all the parts will care for all the other parts equally.
Agaile ewo ukhuta pulekhe ukhuva nukhulekhehana mumbeile, pu ifimagikha fyooni fitanganaga ndugano lumo.
26 If one part of our body hurts, [it is as though] all the parts of our body are hurting. If we pay special attention to one part of our body, [it is as though] all the parts of our body feel pleasure [MET].
Nu pu useikhi ugu eikhi magikha khimo khilemile pu ifimagikha fyooni fiva fiva filemile, pu vulevule ikhimagikha khimo khingimikhiwe fyooni fiva fyimekhiwe.
27 [Everything I have just said about how the parts of our bodies relate to each other applies to how] all of you who belong to Christ [should relate to each other]. Each of you belongs to him, [but you have not all been given the same abilities and work].
Pu ifimagikha fyooni fihovokha pupaninie umwe leino muleimbivi gwa Klisite nu muleifimagikha khila khimagikha khili khyene.
28 God has placed apostles in our congregations. Apostles are first [in rank]. Next [in rank] are those who speak messages which come directly from God. Next [in rank] are those who teach [spiritual truth]. Then there are those who have the power to work miracles, those who have the ability to heal [sick people], those who have the ability to help [others], those who have the ability to govern [the affairs of the congregation], and those who have the ability to speak [messages] in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned].
Nu uNguluve aveikhile taasi mupelela avavanda, puaveikhile na vanyamalago, avamanyisi puleino vala vooni avivomba imbaha pu nafifikungilwa ifya vuponi, vala avitungila vala avavivomba imbomboeiyakhulongoncha na vala ava leininchovele inchilipapingi.
29 Certainly not all [believers] are apostles. [RHQ] They all do not have the ability to speak messages that come directly from God. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to teach [spiritual truth]. [RHQ] They do not all have the power to work miracles. [RHQ]
Pu ufwe tweivoni tulivasuhwa, tweivoni tulivanya malago, ufwe tweivoni tulivamanyisi? pu ufwe tweivoni tuvomba imbombo incha fidego?
30 They do not all have the ability to heal people. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to speak [messages] in languages [MTY] [they have not learned]. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to tell others the meaning of those messages. [RHQ] [Certainly not!]
Pu ufwe tweivoni tulinikhikungilwa eikya vuponi? Ufwe tweivoni tweinchova munjovele ufwe tweivoni tuganula injovele.
31 But you should eagerly desire to have [the abilities that will help other believers] the most (OR, [the abilities that God considers] to be the most important). But now I will tell you the best way [to use the abilities that God’s Spirit has given you].
Mlondage fincho ifi kungilwa ifivaha pu une yanikhuva vanesya injila einonu ukhulutiila.
