< 1 Corinthians 12 >

1 In the next place, Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant about spiritual gifts.
Vinu walongu wayangu, nfira muvimani visoweru vya mafupu ga Rohu Mnanagala, neni nfira mwenga muvimani unakaka kuusu vitwatira avi.
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.
Muvimana kuwera, pamberi pa mwenga kuwera wantu yawammana Mlungu, mlongoziwitwi munjira zya kuviguwira vinyagu.
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.
Su muvimani kuwera kwahera muntu yoseri yakalongoziwa na Rohu gwa Mlungu kaweza kutakula, “Yesu kapangiritwi!” Ntambu iraayi muntu yoseri hapeni kawezi kutakula, “Yesu ndo Mtuwa,” Pakalongoziwa ndiri na Rohu Mnanagala.
4 Gifts differ, but the Spirit is the same;
Kwana ntambu yingi yingi ya mafupu ga shirohu, kumbiti Rohu yumu hera yakalaviya mafupu aga.
5 ways of serving differ, yet the Master is the same;
Kwana ntambu yingi yingi zya kutendera, kumbiti Mtuwa yakatenderwa ndo yumu hera.
6 results differ, yet the God who brings about every result is in every case the same.
Kwana ntambu yingi yingi ya kutenda lihengu, kumbiti Mlungu yumu hera yakatenda mahengu goseri kwa wantu woseri, wapananwa makakala ga kutenda lihengu lyoseri kwa woseri.
7 To each man there is given spiritual illumination for the general good.
Roho Mnanagala kalilanguziya kwa njira zya ntambu yingi yingi kwa kila muntu kwa mota ya woseri.
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;
Rohu kampanana muntu yumu ujumbi wa luhala na muntu yumonga ujumbi wa malifa ga kuvimana vitwatira, ntambu yakafira Rohu ulaa ayu.
9 to another faith by the same Spirit; to another power to cure diseases by the one Spirit; to another supernatural powers;
Rohu ulaa ayu kampanana muntu yumu njimiru na muntu yumonga kapananwa lifupu lya kuponiziya wantu.
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.’
Rohu Mnanagala kampanana yumu lifupu lya kutenda mauzauza, yumonga kapananwa lifupu lya kuwubwera ujumbi wa Mlungu, yumonga kapananwa lifupu lya uwezu wa kutakula mafupu ga ntambu yingiyingi yagalawiti kwa Rohu na vyavilawiti ndiri kwa Rohu. Kampanana yumonga lifupu lya kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri na muntu gwingi kapananwa uwezu wa kutakulira shilii shashitakulitwi.
11 All these result from one and the same Spirit, who distributes his gifts to each individually as he wills.
Kumbiti goseri aga ndo mahengu ga Rohu ulaa ulii yumu hera, yakambagulira kila muntu lifupu lya ntambu yingi yingi, ntambu yakafira mweni.
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;
Handa shimba yimu ntambu yaiwera na viwungiru vivuwa, tembera yana viwungiru vivuwa, vitenda nshimba yimu, ndo ntambu yaiwera vilaa kwa Kristu.
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.
Toziya twenga, patuwera Twawayawudi ama wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, wamanda ama wantu walekiziwa, twawoseri tubatizwa kwa Rohu yumu mushimba yimu ayi, na twawoseri tupananwa Rohu yumu ayu.
14 The human body, I repeat, consists not of one part, but of many.
Vilaa nshimba yahera shiwungiru shimu hera, kumbiti iwera na viwungiru vivuwa.
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.
Handa ligulu melitakuliti, “Toziya neni naliwoku ndiri, su neni gwa nshimba ndiri,” Hashi, ligulu meliweri ndiri lya nshimba?
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.
Handa likutu melitakuliti, “Toziya neni nalisu ndiri, su neni gwa nshimba ndiri?” Hashi, likutu meliweri lya nshimba ndiri? Ndala!
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?
Handa nshimba yoseri meiweri lisu, hashi, muntu mekapikaniri ntambu gaa? Handa nshimba yoseri meiweri likutu, muntu mekawezi hashi kunusiya?
18 But in fact God has placed each individual part just where he thought fit in the body.
Kumbiti ntambu yayiwera, Mlungu kavituliti hweri viwungiru vyoseri avi ntambu yingi yingi munshimba, ntambu yakafiriti.
19 If, however, they all made up only one part, where would the body be?
Handa viwungiru vyoseri meviweri shiwungiru shimu, nshimba meiweri koshi?
20 But in fact, although it has many parts, there is only one body.
Nakaka kuwera, kwana viwungiru vivuwa, kumbiti nshimba yimu hera.
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.’
Su lisu hapeni liwezi kuligambira liwoku, “Neni nukufira ndiri.” Ama mtuwi hapeni guwezi kugagambira magulu, “Nuwafira ndiri mwenga.”
22 No! Those parts of the body that seem naturally the weaker are indispensable;
Kumbiti pamuhera na hangu, ilanguziya kuwera viwungiru vilii vya nshimba viwoneka legilegi kumbiti vyana mana nentu.
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.
Na viwungiru vilii vyatulihola kuwera vifiruwa ndiri ligoya likulu, ndo yatuvilola nentu hweri, viwungiru vya nshimba vyaviwoneka ndiri kuwera viherepa nentu, vilolerwa hweri.
24 Yes, God has so constructed the body — by giving a special honour to the part that lacks it —
Kumbiti viwungiru vimonga vifira ndiri kulembeziwa. Mlungu mweni kayitula nshimba mumpangu, su kavipanana ligoya ng'anji viwungiru vilii vyavipungukiwitwi ligoya.
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.
Su nakuwera ubagula munshimba, kumbiti viwungiru vyoseri vya ntambu yingi yingi vililoleri vyeni kwa vyeni.
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.
Handa shiwungiru shimu pashitendua, su viwungiru vyoseri vyankulitenduwa pamuhera nashu na shiwungiru shimu pashikwiswa, viwungiru vimonga vyoseri vinemelera pamuhera nashu.
27 Together you are the Body of Christ, and individually its parts.
Su mwawoseri mwenga mwanshimba ya Kristu, kila yumu gwenu kashiwungiru sha nshimba ayi.
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.’
Mlungu katula mushipinga sha wantu vyawamjimira Yesu, kwanja wantumintumi, pili wambuyi wakuwi, ntatu wafunda, shakapanu kawatula walii yawawera na lifupu lya kutenda mauzauza, wamonga lifupu lya kuponiziya na kuwatanga wamonga, ama kuwalonguziya womberi na wamonga lifupu lya kutakula luga zyazimanika ndiri.
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?
Woseri wawera ndiri wantumintumi ama wambuyi wa Mlungu ama wafunda. Na kila muntu ndiri kana makakala ga kutenda mauzauza,
30 Can every one have power to cure diseases? can every one speak in ‘tongues’? can every one interpret them?
ama woseri ndiri yawaweza kuponiziya ama kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri ama kutakulira shilii shashitakulwa.
31 Strive for the greater gifts.
Su mfiri mafupu makulu nentu. Naneni hanuwalanguziyi njira iherepa nentu kuliku zyoseri azi.
