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 spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish 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.
You know that when you were heathen you went astray after dumb idols, wherever he be 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.
Wherefore I want you to understand that no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in 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.
there are various forms of service, 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 varieties of work, and the same God, who works in all.
7 Lespri Bondye a fè travay li yon jan nan lavi chak moun, men li fè l' pou byen tout moun.
Now to each man has been given his manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
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 man by the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, to another a word of insight by 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 one man by the same Spirit is given faith, to another gifts of healing by the one 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.
to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, 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 gives power to all, distributing his gifts to each as he 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 members, and all the members of the body, although they be many, are one body; so also is 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.
And we can see this, for in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jew or Gentile, whether slave or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 Se pa yon sèl manm ki fè yon kò. Se anpil manm ki fè yon kò.
For the body is not one member, 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 a hand, I am not part a part the body," would it not indeed be a part 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.
Or if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," would it be any less a part 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 were hearing? If all were hearing, where were smelling?
18 Men, Bondye mete divès manm nan plas yo nan kò a, jan l' vle.
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as it has pleased him.
19 Pa ta gen yon kò si tout te yon sèl kalite manm.
If all were one member, where would the body be?
20 Konsa, gen anpil manm, men gen yon sèl kò.
But now there are many members, 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 you". nor again of head to the feet, "I have no need for you."
22 Okontrè, manm ki parèt pi fèb nan kò nou, se yo ki pi nesesè.
On the contrary, we need those members of the body which seem to be weaker;
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.
upon those parts of the body which we esteem less honorable, we bestow more abundant honor, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
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.
For whereas our comely parts have no need, God has tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that member in which lacked;
25 Konsa, pa gen divizyon nan kò a. Men tout manm yo yonn pran swen lòt menm jan an.
that there should be no disunion in the body, but that members mutual care for one another.
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.
When one member suffers, all the others suffer with it; and when one member is honored, all the members are glad with it.
27 Nou tout, nou se kò Kris la: nou chak se yon manm nan kò sa a.
Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.
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 God has appointed those in the church to be first of all apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers. then workers of miracles, healers, helpers, administrators, users of various 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? teachers? workers of 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.
Have all 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.
Desire earnestly the greater gifts. And yet I will go on to show you a still more excellent way.
