1 Korantien 12

1 N naataani, yaali n nua U Tienu Foŋanma paabu, n ki bua ke i ye yanbɔnma nni.

Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

2 I bani ke yin den tie nilanba, i den cedi ke bi dia yi, ke i ŋua ya buli n ki maadi, nani ban den tundi yi maama.

You know that when you were pagans, you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

3 Lanyapo i, ke n kadi ki maadi yi, ke obá ki ye, ki maadi U Tienu Foŋanma yeli po, ki ba yedi: “Sola Jesu!” Ama obá kan fidi ki yedi: “Jesu tie O Diedo! “li nan ya ki tie U Tienu Foŋanma yeli po yaa ka.

Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4 Bu paabu buoli yabi, ama foŋanyenma baba i;

There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 I tuoncagbuoli yabi, ama O Diedo yendo baba i;

There are different ministries, but the same Lord.

6 I tuonbuoli yabi, ama tienyendu baba n tuuni lan ya tuona kuli tikuli po.

There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.

7 Yuakuli baa mi foŋanma paabu, ke bu tie todli li nitaanli kuli po.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

8 Lanwani i, yendo ba fidi ki baa Foŋanma paabu, ke bu tie yanfuoma, o tiano mo ń baa paabu, ke bu tie maabanma, ama foŋanyenma baba ya paabu i.

To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,

9 nitiano mo ba fidi ki baa ti dudugdi ya paabu, ke bu ñani foŋanyenma yeni kani, nitɔa mo ń baa ku tebgu ya paabu, ama foŋanyanma liga i.

to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,

10 One ba fidi ki baa yaalidgu tuona paabu, nitɔa mo ń baa U Tienu sawalpuama paabu; o tiano mo ń baa ya paabu n ba todi o, wan fidi ki gagdi mi foŋanma yeni ya cicili n sieni; nitiano mo ba fidi ki baa ki ya maadi i maabuoli, tiano mo ń fidi ki ya sɔgindi i maabuoli.

to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

11 Foŋanyenma yeni liga n tuuni lan ya tuona kuli, ki puuni yuakuli nani wan bua maama.

All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.

12 Kelima nani u gbanu ń tie yendu, ki nan pia ti gbannandi boncianla yeni, nani u gbanu gbannandi kuli, hali tin dɔa maama kuli, taani ki tie gbanyendu baba, Kiristu mo tie yeni i.

The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

13 Bi batise tikuli foŋanyenma baba yeli po i, ki ti taani ki tie gbanyendu, ti tie Juufi yo oo, Gileki bii nilanba yoo, yonbi bii (die n bá niba) bulcinba yo oo; tikuli ñuni foŋanyenma baba ya kani i.

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.

14 Lanwani i, u gbanu ki tie gbannanyengu baba ka, ama ya gbannandi buoli n yabi.

For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.

15 li taali ya bi yedi: “Min ki tie nuu yeni, mii ye u gbanu nni” lani ya po ba fidi ki cedi lan da ye u gbanu nni ii?

If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

16 Li tubli ba fidi ki yedi: “Mii tie nunbu ka, lani ya po mii ji taa yeni u gbanu” lanyapo li ji kan ye taa yeni u gbanu uu?

And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

17 U gbanu kuli ya bi tie nunbu, u bi ba tieni ledi, ki ya gbia mi maama; bii u bi ya tie nunbu, u bi ba tieni ledi, ki ya nubni u nuulu.

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?

18 Mɔlane, U tienu bili gbannangu kuli u gbanu nni wan bua maama.

But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

19 Ti gbannandi kuli ya bi taani ki tie gbannanyengu, u gbanu bi baa ye le i?

If they were all one part, where would the body be?

20 Lanwani i, Mɔlane ti gbannandi yabi, ama gbanyendu baba i

As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21 Bu nunbu kan fidi ki maadi u nuu: “Mii pia a buama”; nani li yuli ń kan fidi ki maadi a taana: “Mii bua i maama”.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”

22 Ama ya gbannandi n naani ke ti tadi ki cie yeni, tini mo n pia mi buama u gbanu po.

On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

23 Lanwani i, tin maali ke ya gbannandi n ki dagdi yeni jilma yeni, ti fangi tini i, ti ŋanbi ki wuondi ti fee gbannandi ki cie ya gbannandi n sieni.

and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,

24 Ama ya gbannandi n ki tie fee yaadi, li ki buali tin wuoni ti. U Tienu bili ki tugni gbannangu kuli ki bua ke yaadi n ki dagdi yeni jilma yeni ń baa jilma.

whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

25 Lan fidi ke paadma ń da ye u gbanu nni, ama ke ti gbannandi ń ya todi tiyadi.

so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.

26 Gbannanyengu ya kɔni, ti gbannandi kuli taani gu ki kɔni i; gbannanyengu ya baa ti kpiagdi, ti gbannandi kuli mangdi bi pala yeni gu.

If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

27 I tie Kiristu gbanu i, ki tie o gbannandi, yuakuli o yuli po.

Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.

28 U Tienu cili ki kaani o nitaanli nni bi tondiba i, mi liema bi sawalpuaba, mi taama yiko gbanbanda (tundkaaba), li puoli po, yaaba n tie yaalidgu bona ye, ke yaaba n tebi a yiema ye; bi todkaaba mo ye, bi gobdikaaba mo ye, ke yaaba n maadi i maabuoli mo ye.

And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

29 Bi kuli tie tondiba yo oo? Bi kuli tie sawalpuaba yo oo? Bi kuli tie tundkaaba y o oo?

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

30 Bi kuli pia yaalidgu tuona paabu uu? Bi kuli pia bi yianba tebma paabu uu? Bi kuli fidi ki maadi i maabuoli ii? Bi kuli ba fidi ki sɔgni i maabuoli ii?

Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

31 Lanwani i, yin ya bua ya paabu n ŋani ki cie. N go ba waani yi ya sanu n ŋani ki cie.

But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.
