1 Corinthians 12
1 In the next place, Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant about spiritual gifts.
Inge, ke ma kowos sim kac ke mwe sang sin Ngun Mutal. Mwet lili, nga kena kowos in etu ma pwaye kac uh.
2 You know that there was a time when you were Gentiles, going astray after idols that could not speak, just as you happened to be led.
Kowos etu lah ke pacl se kowos srakna moulkin moul in lohsr, kowos tuh kolyukla ke inkanek tafongla puspis tuh kowos in alu nu ke ma sruloala ma wangin moul la.
3 Therefore I tell you plainly that no one who speaks under the influence of the Spirit of God says ‘JESUS IS ACCURSED,’ and that no one can say ‘JESUS IS LORD,’ except under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
Nga lungse kowos in etu lah wangin sie mwet su kolyuk sin Ngun lun God ku in fahk, “Jesus elan selngawiyuk!” Oayapa wangin sie mwet ku in sifacna fahkak, “Jesus el Leum,” el fin tia kolyuk sin Ngun Mutal.
4 Gifts differ, but the Spirit is the same;
Oasr kain in mwe sang puspis lun ngun ac ma inge tia oana sie, tusruktu ma sin Ngun sefanna.
5 ways of serving differ, yet the Master is the same;
Oasr kain in kulansap ma tia oana sie, tusruktu ma inge kulansupu Leum sefanna.
6 results differ, yet the God who brings about every result is in every case the same.
Oasr kain in talan itukyang nu sin mwet uh ma tia oana sie, tusruktu God sefanna pa sang talan inge nu sin mwet nukewa.
7 To each man there is given spiritual illumination for the general good.
God El akkalemye nu sin kais sie mwet lah ngunal oasr in elos, tuh in mwe akwoye mwet nukewa.
8 To one is given the power to speak with wisdom through the Spirit; to another the power to speak with knowledge, due to the same Spirit;
Ngun el sang nu sin sie mwet mwe fahkak ke lalmwetmet, ac Ngun sacna el sang nu sin sie pacna mwet mwe fahkak ke etauk.
9 to another faith by the same Spirit; to another power to cure diseases by the one Spirit; to another supernatural powers;
Nuna Ngun sacna el sang lulalfongi nu sin sie mwet, ac nu sin siena mwet el sang ku in akkeyala mas.
10 to another the gift of preaching; to another the gift of distinguishing between true and false inspiration; to another varieties of the gift of ‘tongues’; to another the power to interpret ‘tongues.’
Ngun se inge el asang nu sin sie mwet ku in orek mwenmen; ac nu sin siena, ku in fahkak kas lun God; ac nu sin sie pac, ku in akilen inmasrlon mwe sang ma tuku sin Ngun me ac ma tia tuku sin Ngun me. Nu sin sie mwet el sang ku in kaskaskin siena kain in pusra, ac nu sin sie el sang ku in aketeya pusra inge.
11 All these result from one and the same Spirit, who distributes his gifts to each individually as he wills.
Tusruktu Ngun sacna pa oru ma inge nukewa. El sang nu sin kais sie mwet mwe sang su tia oana sie, fal nu ke lungse lal.
12 For just as the human body is one whole, and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many though they are, form but one body, so it is with the Christ;
Christ el oana sie mano ma oasr lah puspis kac; finne lah puspis oasr kac, a mano sefanna.
13 for it was by one Spirit that we were all baptized to form one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free men, and were all imbued with one Spirit.
Ouinge, kut nukewa baptaisla ke Ngun sacna nu ke mano sefanna — kut finne mwet Jew ku mwet sayen mwet Jew, kut finne mwet kohs ku mwet sukosok; ac God El okoama Ngun sefanna nu in kut nukewa.
14 The human body, I repeat, consists not of one part, but of many.
Tuh mano se tia orekla ke lah sefanna, a ke lah puspis.
15 If the foot says ‘Since I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ it does not on that account cease to belong to the body.
Sie nia fin fahk, “Mweyen nga tia pao, nga tia ma lun mano,” na mea pwaye lah el tia lahn mano sac?
16 Or if the ear says ‘Since I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it does not on that account cease to belong to the body.
Ac insrac fin fahk, “Mweyen nga tia atronmuta se, nga tia lahn mano sacn,” na mea, pwaye lah el tia lahn mano sac?
17 If all the body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If it were all hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
Mano nufon se fin atronmuta mukena, ac ku in lohng fuka? Ac fin insrac mukena, ac ku in ngok fuka?
18 But in fact God has placed each individual part just where he thought fit in the body.
A God El oakiya lah nukewa tia oana sie in mano se, fal nu ke lungse lal.
19 If, however, they all made up only one part, where would the body be?
Ac tuh wangin mano fin lah nukewa kac kain sefanna!
20 But in fact, although it has many parts, there is only one body.
Tusruktu, oasr lah puspis, a mano sefanna.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand ‘I do not need you,’ nor, again, the head to the feet ‘I do not need you.’
Ouinge, atronmuta el tia ku in fahk nu sel pao, “Nga tia enenekom!” Ac sifa tia pac ku in fahk nu sel nia, “Nga tia enenekom!”
22 No! Those parts of the body that seem naturally the weaker are indispensable;
Pwayeiya uh, lahn mano ma luman munas uh, arulana eneneyuk;
23 and those parts which we deem less honourable we surround with special honour; and our ungraceful parts receive a special grace which our graceful parts do not require.
ac lah ma kut nunku mu tia arulana yohk sripa, pa kut karingin wo uh; ac lah ma tia arulana wo in liyeyuk, kut nokomla in wo,
24 Yes, God has so constructed the body — by giving a special honour to the part that lacks it —
a lah ma wo in liyeyuk tia enenu in orek ouinge. God sifacna El orani lah nukewa ke mano in sie ouiya ma ac akwoye lah ma oasr enenu la.
25 As to secure that there should be no disunion in the body, but that the parts should show the same care for one another.
Ac ouinge wangin sralik in mano se, a lah nukewa akaringini.
26 If one part suffers, all the others suffer with it, and if one part has honour done it, all the others share its joy.
Sie lah fin keok, lah nukewa wi keok; sie lah fin kaksakinyuk, lah nukewa wi engan.
27 Together you are the Body of Christ, and individually its parts.
Kowos nukewa monin Christ, ac kais sie suwos lahn manol.
28 In the Church God has appointed, first, Apostles, secondly Preachers, thirdly Teachers; then he has given supernatural powers, then power to cure diseases, aptness for helping others, capacity to govern, varieties of the gift of ‘tongues.’
God El oakikowosi nukewa in acn suwos in church: acn se meet nu sin mwet sap, akluo mwet palu, aktolu mwet luti; na tufah elos su orek mwenmen, elos su itukyang ku nu se in akkeyala mas, ku mwet kasru, mwet kol, ku elos su kaskaskin siena kain pusra.
29 Can every one be an Apostle? can every one be a Preacher? can every one be a Teacher? can every one have supernatural powers?
Tia elos nukewa mwet sap ku mwet palu ku mwet luti. Tia mwet nukewa oasr ku yoro in orek mwenmen
30 Can every one have power to cure diseases? can every one speak in ‘tongues’? can every one interpret them?
ku in akkeyala mas ku in kaskaskin siena kain pusra, ku aketeya kalmen pusra inge.
31 Strive for the greater gifts.
Ke ma inge kowos in sang insiowos in suk mwe sang ma yohk sripa uh. Tusruktu inge nga ac akkalemye ouiya se ma wo liki nukewa.
