< 1 Corinthians 12 >

1 About spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ha ũhoro wa iheo cia kĩĩroho-rĩ, ndikwenda mũikare mũrigĩtwo nĩguo.
2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to idols who could not speak, in whatever ways you were led by them.
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũteetĩkĩtie Ngai, nĩmwaguucagĩrĩrio na mũkerekerio kũrĩ mĩhianano ĩtangĩaria.
3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who speaks by the Spirit of God can say, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by 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 Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.
Na rĩrĩ, iheo iria iheanagwo nĩ mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Roho ũrĩa ũciheanaga no ũmwe.
5 There are different ministries, but the same Lord;
O na njĩra cia gũtungata nĩ mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Mwathani ũrĩa ũtungatagwo no ũmwe.
6 and there are different kinds of work, but it is the same God who makes them possible in everyone.
Ningĩ kũrĩ mĩrutĩre ya wĩra mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Ngai no ũmwe ũrĩa ũhotithagia maũndũ mothe gwĩkĩka thĩinĩ wa andũ othe.
7 Now to each one is given the outward display of the Spirit for the benefit of all.
Na rĩrĩ, o mũndũ nĩaheagwo ũndũ wa kuonania atĩ arĩ na Roho, naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩ wa kũguna andũ othe.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.
Roho ũcio nĩwe ũheaga mũndũ ũmwe ndũmĩrĩri ya ũũgĩ, na ũngĩ akaheo ũmenyo nĩ Roho o ro ũcio,
9 To another is given faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit.
nake ũngĩ akaheo wĩtĩkio nĩ Roho o ro ũcio, na ũngĩ akaheo iheo cia kũhonania nĩ Roho o ro ũcio,
10 To another is given deeds of power, and to another prophecy. To another is given the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation 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 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, giving the gifts to each one individually, as he chooses.
Maũndũ macio mothe nĩ wĩra wa Roho o ro ũcio ũmwe, nake agayagĩra o mũndũ o ũrĩa ekwenda.
12 For as the body is one and has many members and all are members of the same body, so it is with 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 by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bound or free, and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
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 is not a single member, but many.
Na rĩrĩ, mwĩrĩ ndũkoragwo na kĩĩga kĩmwe, no nĩ wa ciĩga nyingĩ.
15 If the foot says, “Since I am not the hand, I am not part of the body,” it is not any less a part 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 if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not part of the body,” it is not any less a part 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 would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
Mwĩrĩ wothe ũngĩkorwo no riitho-rĩ, kũigua tũngĩiguaga na kĩ? Mwĩrĩ wothe ũngĩkorwo no gũtũ-rĩ, kũnungĩra tũngĩnungagĩra na kĩ?
18 But God arranged each part of the body as he designed it.
No ũrĩa kũrĩ, nĩ atĩ Ngai nĩ eekĩrire ciĩga ciothe thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, agĩciĩkĩra o ta ũrĩa eendaga ciikare.
19 If they were all the same member, where would the body be?
Ciĩga ciothe ingĩtuĩka nĩ kĩĩga kĩmwe-rĩ, mwĩrĩ naguo ũngĩkorwo ha?
20 So now they are many members, but only one body.
Ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ ciĩga nĩ nyingĩ, no mwĩrĩ nĩ ũmwe.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you.” Nor does the head say to 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 But the members of the body that appear to be weaker are essential,
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, ciĩga cia mwĩrĩ iria cionekaga itarĩ hinya, nĩcio irĩ bata makĩria,
23 and the parts of the body that we think are less honorable, we give them greater honor, and our unpresentable members have more dignity.
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 Now our presentable members have no need to be treated with dignity, for they already have dignity. But God has joined all the members together, and he gave more honor to those that lacked it.
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 He did this so there may be no division within the body, but that the members should care for one another with the same affection.
nĩgeetha gũtikae kũgĩa na nyamũkano thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, no nĩgeetha ciĩga ciaguo imenyanagĩrĩre o kĩĩga na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
26 So when one member suffers, all the members suffer together; or when one member is honored, 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 you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.
Na rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ mwĩrĩ wa Kristũ, na o mũndũ wanyu nĩ kĩĩga kĩaguo.
28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then those who do powerful deeds, then gifts of healing, those who provide helps, those who do the work of administration, and those who have various 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 of them apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do powerful deeds?
Andũ othe nĩ atũmwo? Andũ othe nĩ anabii? Andũ othe nĩ arutani? Andũ othe nĩ aringi a ciama?
30 Do all of them have gifts of healing? Do all of them speak with tongues? Do all of them interpret tongues?
Andũ othe nĩmaheetwo iheo cia kũhonania? Andũ othe nĩmakĩaragia na thiomi? Andũ othe nĩmagĩtaũraga thiomi?
31 Zealously seek the greater gifts. But I will show you a more excellent way.
No rĩrĩ, mwĩriragĩriei iheo iria irĩ bata mũno. Na rĩu nĩngũmuonia njĩra ĩrĩa njega makĩria.
