< 1 Akorinitho 12 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ha ũhoro wa iheo cia kĩĩroho-rĩ, ndikwenda mũikare mũrigĩtwo nĩguo.
Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
2 Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũteetĩkĩtie Ngai, nĩmwaguucagĩrĩrio na mũkerekerio kũrĩ mĩhianano ĩtangĩaria.
You know that when you were unbelievers, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
3 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.
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.
4 Na rĩrĩ, iheo iria iheanagwo nĩ mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Roho ũrĩa ũciheanaga no ũmwe.
Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 O na njĩra cia gũtungata nĩ mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Mwathani ũrĩa ũtungatagwo no ũmwe.
There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
6 Ningĩ kũrĩ mĩrutĩre ya wĩra mĩthemba mĩthemba, no Ngai no ũmwe ũrĩa ũhotithagia maũndũ mothe gwĩkĩka thĩinĩ wa andũ othe.
There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.
7 Na rĩrĩ, o mũndũ nĩaheagwo ũndũ wa kuonania atĩ arĩ na Roho, naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩ wa kũguna andũ othe.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
8 Roho ũcio nĩwe ũheaga mũndũ ũmwe ndũmĩrĩri ya ũũgĩ, na ũngĩ akaheo ũmenyo nĩ Roho o ro ũcio,
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 nake ũngĩ akaheo wĩtĩkio nĩ Roho o ro ũcio, na ũngĩ akaheo iheo cia kũhonania nĩ Roho o ro ũcio,
to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the one Spirit;
10 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.
and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 Maũndũ macio mothe nĩ wĩra wa Roho o ro ũcio ũmwe, nake agayagĩra o mũndũ o ũrĩa ekwenda.
But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
12 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.
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 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.
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 of one Spirit.
14 Na rĩrĩ, mwĩrĩ ndũkoragwo na kĩĩga kĩmwe, no nĩ wa ciĩga nyingĩ.
For the body is not one member, but many.
15 Kũgũrũ kũngiuga atĩ, “Tondũ ti niĩ guoko-rĩ, ndirĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũyũ,” Ũndũ ũcio ndũngĩtũma gũtige gũtuĩka kĩĩga kĩa mwĩrĩ ũcio.
If the foot would say, "Because I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body," that would not make it less a part of the body.
16 Nakuo gũtũ kũngiuga atĩ, “Tondũ ti niĩ riitho-rĩ, ndirĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũcio,” nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu gũtingĩtiga gũtuĩka kĩĩga kĩa mwĩrĩ ũcio.
And if the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," that would not make it less a part of the body.
17 Mwĩrĩ wothe ũngĩkorwo no riitho-rĩ, kũigua tũngĩiguaga na kĩ? Mwĩrĩ wothe ũngĩkorwo no gũtũ-rĩ, kũnungĩra tũngĩnungagĩra na kĩ?
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18 No ũrĩa kũrĩ, nĩ atĩ Ngai nĩ eekĩrire ciĩga ciothe thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, agĩciĩkĩra o ta ũrĩa eendaga ciikare.
But as a matter of fact, God has arranged the members of the body, each one of them, according to his design.
19 Ciĩga ciothe ingĩtuĩka nĩ kĩĩga kĩmwe-rĩ, mwĩrĩ naguo ũngĩkorwo ha?
If they were all the same member, where would the body be?
20 Ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ ciĩga nĩ nyingĩ, no mwĩrĩ nĩ ũmwe.
So now there are many members, but one body.
21 Riitho rĩtingĩhota kwĩra guoko atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na bata nawe!” Naguo mũtwe wĩre magũrũ atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na bata na inyuĩ!”
The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."
22 Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, ciĩga cia mwĩrĩ iria cionekaga itarĩ hinya, nĩcio irĩ bata makĩria,
On the contrary, those members which seem to be weaker are essential,
23 nacio ciĩga iria tuonaga ta itarĩ cia gũtĩĩo mũno-rĩ, nĩcio tũheaga gĩtĩĩo kĩa mwanya. Nacio ciĩga iria tuonaga ta itagĩrĩire kuoneka nĩimenyagĩrĩrwo mũno,
and the parts which we think less honorable we treat with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with dignity,
24 o rĩrĩa ciĩga ciitũ iria itarĩ cia kũhithwo itabataragio nĩkũmenyererwo mũno. No Ngai nĩanyiitithanĩtie ciĩga cia mwĩrĩ na agatĩĩithia makĩria ciĩga iria ciagĩte gĩtĩĩo,
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the lesser member,
25 nĩgeetha gũtikae kũgĩa na nyamũkano thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, no nĩgeetha ciĩga ciaguo imenyanagĩrĩre o kĩĩga na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
that there may be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern for one another.
26 Kĩĩga kĩmwe kĩngĩnyariirĩka, ciĩga iria ingĩ inyariirĩkaga hamwe nakĩo; nakĩo kĩĩga kĩmwe kĩngĩheo gĩtĩĩo-rĩ, o nacio ciĩga iria ingĩ nĩikenaga hamwe nakĩo.
When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.
27 Na rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ mwĩrĩ wa Kristũ, na o mũndũ wanyu nĩ kĩĩga kĩaguo.
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
28 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.
God has set some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of tongues.
29 Andũ othe nĩ atũmwo? Andũ othe nĩ anabii? Andũ othe nĩ arutani? Andũ othe nĩ aringi a ciama?
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
30 Andũ othe nĩmaheetwo iheo cia kũhonania? Andũ othe nĩmakĩaragia na thiomi? Andũ othe nĩmagĩtaũraga thiomi?
Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31 No rĩrĩ, mwĩriragĩriei iheo iria irĩ bata mũno. Na rĩu nĩngũmuonia njĩra ĩrĩa njega makĩria.
But earnestly desire the greater gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
