Korintotɔwo 1 12
1 Azɔ la, nɔviwo, medi be maŋlɔ nu na mi tso nunana tɔxɛ siwo Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la naa mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe la ŋu, elabena nyemedi be nugɔmemasemase aɖeke nanɔ wo ŋu o.
Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
2 Miaɖo ŋku edzi be hafi miazu kristotɔwo la, mienye trɔ̃subɔlawo. Mietso legba ɖeka gbɔ yi bubu gbɔ, eye wolé míaƒe susu hekplɔ mi trae le legba maƒonu siawo gbɔe.
You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
3 Medi be mianya be ame sia ame si tsɔ Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le nu ƒom la, mate ŋu agblɔ be, “Yesu ƒe fiƒode neva dziwò” o, eye ame aɖeke mate ŋu agblɔ nyateƒetɔe be, “Yesu nye Aƒetɔ” o, negbe to Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu me ko.
Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.
4 Azɔ la, nunana tɔxɛ ƒomevi geɖewo li gake Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe ɖeka ma koe nye wo katã ƒe dzɔtsoƒe.
Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 Subɔsubɔdɔ vovovowo li, ke Aƒetɔ ɖeka ma ko subɔm míele.
There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
6 Mawu toa mɔ vovovowo dzi wɔa eƒe dɔ le míaƒe agbenɔnɔ me, ke Mawu ɖeka ma ke koe wɔa eƒe dɔ to mí ame siwo katã nye etɔwo la dzi.
There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all.
7 Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ɖea Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ fiana toa mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me eye wòtoa esia dzi kpena ɖe hame blibo la ŋu.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
8 Gbɔgbɔ la naa ŋutete ame aɖe be wòaɖo aɖaŋu nyuie. Ame bubu anyo ŋutɔ le nusɔsrɔ̃ kple nufiafia me, eye esiae nye eya hã ƒe nunana tso Gbɔgbɔ ma ke gbɔ.
For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
9 Gbɔgbɔ la kee naa xɔse ame aɖe eye wònaa dɔyɔyɔ ƒe ŋusẽ ame bubu.
to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
10 Enaa ŋusẽ ame aɖewo be woawɔ nukunuwo, eye wònaa nyagblɔɖi kple mawunyagbɔgblɔ ƒe ŋusẽ ame bubuwo! Enaa ŋusẽ ame aɖewo be woanya nenye gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃woe le nu ƒom to ame siwo be Mawu ƒe nya gblɔm yewole la dzi loo alo nenye Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔe le nu ƒom nyateƒe. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, enaa ŋusẽ ame aɖe be wòate ŋu agblɔ gbe si mesrɔ̃ kpɔ o, eye wònaa ŋusẽ ame bubu siwo hã menya gbe ma o la be woase nu si gblɔm nuƒola la le gɔme.
and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.
11 Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe ɖeka ma ke koe naa ŋusẽ kple nunana siawo katã eye wòtiaa esi dze na mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe la na mí.
But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
12 Ŋutinu geɖewo le míaƒe ŋutilã ŋu, ke ŋutinu geɖe siawo la, ŋutilã ɖeka ko wozuna ne wotsɔ wo katã ƒo ƒu. Nenema tututue wòle le Kristo ƒe “ŋutilã” gome hã,
For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
13 elabena wotsɔ Gbɔgbɔ ɖeka ma de mawutsi ta na mí katã ɖe ŋutilã ɖeka me, eye mí katã mieno Gbɔgbɔ ɖeka ma, eɖanye Yudatɔ o, alo Grikitɔ o, kluvi alo ablɔɖevi o.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
14 Ɛ̃, ŋutinu geɖewo le ŋutilã la ŋu, menye ŋutinu ɖeka koe wɔ ŋutilã o.
For the body is not one member, but many.
15 Ne afɔ agblɔ be, “Nyemenye ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖe o, elabena nyemenye asi o” la, mefia be eya ta afɔ menye ŋutinu abe bubuawo ene o.
If the foot would say, “Because I am not the hand, I am not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.
16 Nu ka nàbu ne èse to wògblɔ be, “Nyemenye ŋutilã la ƒe akpa aɖeke o elabena to ko menye, nyemenye ŋku o”? Ɖe esia awɔe be megade blibo abe ŋutinu ɖeka ene oa?
If the ear would say, “Because I am not the eye, I am not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.
17 Ne ŋutilã blibo la nye ŋku ko la, ekema aleke wòawɔ hafi ase nu? Alo ne wò ŋutilã blibo la nye to gã ɖeka la, aleke nàwɔ hafi ase nane ƒe ʋeʋẽ?
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
18 Ke, menye nenemae Mawu wɔ mí o. Ewɔ míaƒe ŋutilã ƒe ŋutinu geɖewo eye wòtsɔ ŋutinu ɖe sia ɖe ɖo afi si tututu wòdi be wòanɔ.
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
19 Míaƒe ŋutilã anye nu wɔnuku aɖe ne wònye ŋutinu ɖeka koe wɔe!
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 Eya ta Mawu wɔ ŋutinu geɖewo, ke ŋutilã ɖeka koe li.
But now they are many members, but one body.
21 Ŋku mate ŋu agblɔ na asi be, “Nyemehiã wò o.” Ta mate ŋu agblɔ na afɔ be, “Nyemehiã wò o.”
The eye cannot tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
22 Ŋutinu siwo míabu be wonye nu gblɔewo, eye womele vevie o la woe nye esiwo hiã wu.
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
23 Ɛ̃, dzi dzɔa mí ŋutɔ be ŋutinu aɖewo le mía ŋu, eye wodzena abe bubu mele wo ŋu o ene. Míeɣlaa ŋutinu siwo ame bubuwo makpɔ o,
Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,
24 ke míeɣlaa ŋutinu siwo ame bubuwo ate ŋu akpɔ la nenema o. Ale Mawu wɔ ŋutilã le mɔ sia nu be míatsɔ bubu kple beléle na ŋutinu tɔxɛ aɖewo, ne menye nenema o la, adze abe ɖe womele vevie tututu o ene.
while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
25 Nu sia naa dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nɔa ŋutinuwo dome, ale ŋutinuawo tsɔa beléle na wo nɔewo abe woawo ŋutɔ ke ene.
that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
26 Ne fukpekpe va ŋutinu ɖeka dzi la, ŋutinu bubuawo katã kpea fu kplii, ke ne wode bubu ŋutinu ɖeka ŋu la, bubuawo katã tsoa aseye.
When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Nu si mele agbagba dzem be magblɔ lae nye esi. Mí katã míeƒo ƒu zu Kristo ƒe ŋutilã ɖeka, eye mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nye eƒe ŋutinu ɖeka si le vevie.
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
28 Nu siawoe nye ɖoƒe siwo Mawu ɖo ɖe eƒe hame si nye eƒe ŋutilã me la dometɔ aɖewo. Gbãtɔ, apostolowo; evelia, nyagblɔɖilawo; etɔ̃lia, nufialawo; emegbe nukunuwɔlawo, dɔyɔlawo, kpekpeɖeŋunalawo, dɔdzikpɔlawo, ame siwo ƒoa nu kple gbegbɔgblɔ bubu ƒomeviwo.
God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
29 Ame sia amee nye apostoloa? Ao! Ame sia amee nye nyagblɔɖilaa? Ao! Ame sia amee nye nufialaa? Ɖe ŋusẽ le ame sia ame si be wòawɔ nukunuwoa?
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
30 Ɖe ame sia ame si xɔ amenuveve ƒe nunana ate ŋu ayɔ dɔ dɔnɔwoa? Kura o! Ɖe Mawu na ŋusẽ mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe be míaƒo nu le gbe siwo míesrɔ̃ kpɔ o la mea? Ɖe ame sia ame ate ŋu ase nu si gbe bubu gblɔlawo le gbɔgblɔm, eye wòaɖe egɔmea?
Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?
31 Ao, ke midze agbagba be miaƒe asi nasu nunana siwo le vevie wu esiawo la dzi. Azɔ la, mina maƒo nu na mi tso mɔ bubu aɖe si nyo wu esiawo katã la ŋu.
But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
