1 Korint 12
1 Ann wè koulye a keksyon kado Sentespri bay la. Frè m' yo, mwen ta vle nou konnen sa ki vre sou keksyon kado sa yo.
Now concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
2 Nou chonje, lè nou pa t' ankò gen konfyans, nou te kite yo mennen nou jan yo vle devan zidòl ki pa t' kapab pale.
Ye know that, while Gentiles, ye were being carried away to the voiceless idols, as ye were led.
3 Se poutèt sa mwen vle nou konn sa byen: Si Sentespri Bondye ap dirije lavi yon moun, li p'ap janm ka di: Madichon pou Jezi. Konsa tou, si Sentespri Bondye p'ap dirije lavi yon moun, li p'ap ka di Jezi se Seyè a.
Therefore I make known to you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is accursed, and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.
4 Gen divès kalite don Sentespri a bay. Men, se menm Lespri Bondye a ki bay tout.
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 Gen divès jan moun ka sèvi Bondye, men se yon sèl Seyè a n'ap sèvi.
And there are varieties of services, and the same Lord.
6 Gen divès kalite travay nan sèvis la, men se yon sèl Bondye ki bay chak moun travay pa yo nan tout sèvis k'ap fèt.
And there are varieties of functions, but it is the same God who works all in all.
7 Lespri Bondye a fè travay li yon jan nan lavi chak moun, men li fè l' pou byen tout moun.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each man toward that which is beneficial.
8 Lespri a bay yon moun don pou l' pale avèk bon konprann. Menm Lespri a bay yon lòt moun don pou l' pale avèk anpil konesans.
For to one, the word of wisdom is given through the Spirit, and to another, the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
9 Se menm Lespri a ki bay yon moun lafwa, se li menm tou ki bay yon lòt don pou l' geri moun malad.
to a different man, faith by the same Spirit, and to another, gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
10 Lespri a bay yon moun don pou fè mirak, li bay yon lòt don pou l' bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye. Li bay yon lòt ankò don pou l' rekonèt travay move lespri yo ak travay Lespri Bondye a. Li bay yon moun don pou l' ka pale langaj, li bay yon lòt don pou l' ka esplike sa pawòl langaj la vle di.
and to another, workings of miracles, and to another, prophecy, and to another, discerning of spirits, and to a different man, kinds of tongues, and to another, the interpretation of tongues.
11 Men, se yon sèl Lespri a ki fè tou sa. Li bay chak moun yon kado diferan jan li vle.
But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each man individually as it wills.
12 Konsa, Kris la se tankou yon kò ki gen anpil manm. Kò a toujou yon sèl kò, ou mèt wè li gen anpil manm.
For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.
13 Se sak fè, nou menm, kit nou jwif, kit nou pa jwif, kit nou esklav, kit nou pa esklav, nou tout nou te resevwa batèm pou n' te ka fè yon sèl kò ansanm, pa pouvwa yon sèl Lespri a. Nou tout nou te bwè nan yon sèl Lespri a.
For also by one Spirit we are all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or freemen, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 Se pa yon sèl manm ki fè yon kò. Se anpil manm ki fè yon kò.
For the body also is not one part, but many.
15 Si pye te ka di: Paske se pa yon men mwen ye, mwen p'ap fè pati kò a, se pa sa ki pou ta fè l' pa fè pati kò a vre.
If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.
16 Si zòrèy te ka di: Paske se pa yon grenn je mwen ye, mwen p'ap fè pati kò a, se pa sa ki pou ta fè l' pa fè pati kò a vre.
And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.
17 Si tout kò a te yon grenn je, ki jan l' ta ka tande? Si l' te yon zòrèy, ki jan l' ta ka pran sant?
If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
18 Men, Bondye mete divès manm nan plas yo nan kò a, jan l' vle.
But now God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body just as he intended.
19 Pa ta gen yon kò si tout te yon sèl kalite manm.
And if they were all one part, where would be the body?
20 Konsa, gen anpil manm, men gen yon sèl kò.
But now of course there are many body-parts, but one body.
21 Nan kondisyon sa a, grenn je a pa ka di men an: Mwen pa bezwen ou. Tèt la pa ka di pye yo: Mwen pa bezwen nou.
And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Okontrè, manm ki parèt pi fèb nan kò nou, se yo ki pi nesesè.
Instead, much more the parts of the body that seem to be more feeble are necessary.
23 Manm nou pa bay gwo konsiderasyon nan kò nou, nou pran swen yo plis pase lòt yo. Manm ki pa konvenab pou nou pale sou yo an sosyete, se yo menm ki resevwa yon swen apa.
And those things of the body presumed to be without esteem, we place around these more abundant worth. And our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety,
24 Manm nan kò nou ki pi prezantab, yo pa bezwen tou sa. Bondye ranje kò a yon jan pou manm ki pa jwenn anpil konsiderasyon an se li ki jwenn plis swen pase lòt yo.
whereas our presentable parts have no need. Instead, God united the body together, having given more abundant worth to the part that lacks,
25 Konsa, pa gen divizyon nan kò a. Men tout manm yo yonn pran swen lòt menm jan an.
so that there would be no schisms in the body, but that the parts would have the same care for each other.
26 Si yon manm nan kò a ap soufri, tout lòt yo ap soufri avè l' tou. Si yon manm resevwa lwanj, tout lòt yo kontan avèk li.
And if one part suffers, all the parts suffer together, or one part is honored, all the parts rejoice together.
27 Nou tout, nou se kò Kris la: nou chak se yon manm nan kò sa a.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and body-parts individually.
28 Se konsa, nou wè nan legliz la Bondye mete apòt yo an premye, pwofèt yo an dezyèm, dirèktè yo an twazyèm. Apre sa, nou jwenn moun k'ap fè mirak, moun ki gen don pou geri moun malad, moun k'ap ede lòt, moun k'ap dirije, moun ki gen don pou pale divès lang.
And in the church God has placed men who are first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.
29 Men, tout moun pa apòt, tout moun pa pwofèt, tout moun pa dirèktè, tout moun pa gen don pou fè mirak.
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles?
30 Tout moun pa gen don pou geri moun malad. Tout moun pa gen don pou pale langaj, osinon pou esplike sans pawòl langaj la.
Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31 Nan fon kè nou, se pou nou chache gen don ki pi enpòtan yo. Men, mwen pral moutre nou yon jan ki bon nèt. Pa gen pase li.
But be zealous for the better gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
