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 gifts, brethren, I would not have you 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.
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn away after the idols that are dumb, even as ye have been 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.
Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Azɔ la, nunana tɔxɛ ƒomevi geɖewo li gake Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe ɖeka ma koe nye wo katã ƒe dzɔtsoƒe.
But there are diversities of gifts, though the same Spirit.
5 Subɔsubɔdɔ vovovowo li, ke Aƒetɔ ɖeka ma ko subɔm míele.
And there are diversities of services, but 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.
And there are diversities of mighty operations, but it is the same God who worketh all 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.
Now to every one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for usefulness.
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 man by the Spirit is given wise discourse; but to another speech communicative of knowledge by 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; to another the gifts of healing diseases 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.
to another miraculous powers; to another prophecy; to another discernments of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
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 all these things worketh that one and the same Spirit, distributing peculiar gifts to every one even as he wills.
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 hath many members, but all the members of that one body, though 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 by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made 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 should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, on this account, not 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?
And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it not therefore 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 eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
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 hath God placed the members, every one of them in the body, as he hath chosen.
19 Míaƒe ŋutilã anye nu wɔnuku aɖe ne wònye ŋutinu ɖeka koe wɔe!
But if the whole were one member, where were the body?
20 Eya ta Mawu wɔ ŋutinu geɖewo, ke ŋutilã ɖeka koe li.
But now the members indeed are many, but the body one.
21 Ŋku mate ŋu agblɔ na asi be, “Nyemehiã wò o.” Ta mate ŋu agblɔ na afɔ be, “Nyemehiã wò o.”
Nor can the eye say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Ŋutinu siwo míabu be wonye nu gblɔewo, eye womele vevie o la woe nye esiwo hiã wu.
Yea, much more the members of the body, which appear to be more feeble, 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,
and those parts which we esteem as the more dishonourable of the body, on them we bestow more abundant honour, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
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.
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered together the body, giving more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
25 Nu sia naa dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nɔa ŋutinuwo dome, ale ŋutinuawo tsɔa beléle na wo nɔewo abe woawo ŋutɔ ke ene.
that there might be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for 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.
And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be exalted, 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 ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
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.
And these also hath God placed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, directors, different kinds of tongues.
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 workers of miracles?
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?
have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? 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 zealously seek the gifts that are the best: and yet I shew unto you a more transcendently excellent way.
