1 Ndị Kọrint 12
1 Ugbu a ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ka unu mata ihe gbasara onyinye nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-enye.
Now concerning spiritual gifts, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Unu matara na mgbe unu bụ ndị na-amaghị Chineke, e duru unu nʼotu ụzọ maọbụ nke ọzọ, duhie unu ụzọ iso arụsị ndị ahụ dara ogbi.
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn aside after dumb idols, just as ye were led: wherefore,
3 Ya mere, achọrọ m ka unu ghọta nke ọma na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-ekwu okwu site nʼodudu Mmụọ nke Chineke, pụrụ ị sị, “Ka Jisọs bụrụ onye a bụrụ ọnụ.” Ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla pụrụ ikwu, na “Jisọs bụ Onyenwe anyị,” ma ọ bụghị site na Mmụọ Nsọ.
I must acquaint you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus a curse: and no one can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost.
4 Onyinye amara dị iche iche dị, ma otu Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ na-enye ha niile.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit: and there are different offices, but the same Lord:
5 E nwekwara ụdị ije ozi dị iche iche, maọbụ otu Onyenwe anyị ahụ ka a na-ejere ozi.
and there are diversities of operations,
6 Ụdị ike dị iche iche nke eji arụ ọrụ dịkwa, ma otu Chineke ahụ na-etinye ike ndị a nʼime onye ọbụla iji jee ozi.
but it is the same God who worketh them all in every one.
7 Ọ na-enyekwa onye ọbụla amara izipụta ike nke Mmụọ Nsọ maka ọdịmma mmadụ niile.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the advantage of all.
8 Mmụọ Nsọ na-enye otu onye onyinye ikwu okwu amamihe, na-enyekwa onye ọzọ onyinye ịma ihe ọmụma, site nʼotu Mmụọ ahụ.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 Otu Mmụọ nsọ a na-enye onye ọzọ onyinye inwe okwukwe, na-enyekwa onye ọzọ onyinye inwe ike ịgwọ ọrịa.
to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 Onye ọzọ ka ọ na-enye onyinye ịrụ ọrụ ịtụnanya, onye ọzọ ike ibu amụma. Onye ọzọ ka ọ na-enye ike ịkọwa ụdị mmụọ dị iche iche, ma onye ọzọkwa ka ọ na-enye ike ịsụ asụsụ dị iche iche. Ma ọ na-enyekwa onye ọzọ ike ịkọwa ihe onye na-asụ asụsụ ndị a na-ekwu.
to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another the discerning of spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 Ọ bụ otu Mmụọ ahụ na-enye onyinye ndị a niile. Ọ na-enye onye ọbụla onyinye dị iche iche dịka Mmụọ Nsọ si kpebie.
but all these worketh that one and the same Spirit distributing to every one in particular as He sees fit.
12 Dịka ahụ anyị si nwe akụkụ dị iche iche, ma bụrụkwa otu ahụ, nʼagbanyeghị na o nwere ọtụtụ akụkụ, otu a ka anụ ahụ Kraịst dịkwa.
For as the body is one, and hath many members; but all the parts of this one body, though many, are but one body:
13 Site nʼotu Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ ka e mere anyị niile baptizim nʼotu nʼotu, ma ndị Juu ma ndị Griik, ma ohu ma ndị nwe onwe ha. E meela ka anyị ṅụọ ọbara ya, nʼime njikọ nke otu Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ.
so also is the mystical body of Christ; for by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, (whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free) and are all made to drink into one Spirit:
14 Ahụ mmadụ abụghị naanị otu akụkụ, kama o nwere ọtụtụ akụkụ ahụ.
for the body is not one member, but many.
15 Ọ bụrụ na ụkwụ asị, “Nʼihi na-abụghị m aka, esoghị nʼahụ,” nke a agaghị egbochi ya ka ọ gharakwa ịbụ otu nʼakụkụ anụ ahụ.
If the foot should say, "Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?
16 Otu a kwa, ọ bụrụ na ntị asị, “Ebe m na-abụghị anya abụghị m otu akụkụ anụ ahụ.” Okwu a kwa agaghị eme ka ntị ghara ịbụ akụkụ anụ ahụ.
And if the ear should say, "Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?
17 Ọ bụrụ na ahụ niile bụ anya, olee ka ahụ ga-esi nụ ihe? Ọ bụrụkwa na ahụ mmadụ bụ naanị ntị ọ ga-esi aṅaa nụ isisi ihe ọbụla?
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? and if the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 Ma otu ihe si dị, Chineke debere nʼotu nʼotu akụkụ niile dị nʼahụ dịka o si chọọ.
But now God hath placed the members, every one of them in the body, as He pleased.
19 A sị na akụkụ niile dị nʼahụ bụ otu ihe, kedụ ebe ahụ ga-adị?
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 Otu ọ dị, ọ bụ ezie na ihe dị nʼahụ dị ọtụtụ, ma ha niile bụ otu ahụ.
whereas now there are many members, yet but one body.
21 Nʼihi nke a, anya enweghị ike ịgwa aka sị, “Achọghị m gị, nʼihi na ị dịghị m mkpa.” Isi agakwaghị agwa ụkwụ sị, “Achọghị m inyeaka gị.”
And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Kama ọ bụ akụkụ ahụ anyị ndị na-esighị ike bụ ndị dị anyị mkpa karịa.
But those parts of the body, which seem to be weaker, are much more necessary:
23 E e, akụkụ ndị ahụ anyị na-eche na ha adịghị mkpa ka anyị na-eji nsọpụrụ na-elekọta. Akụkụ ndị ahụ na-ekwesighị ile anya ka anyị na-enye ugwu, ma na-ekpuchi ha.
and those which we judge the less honorable parts we clothe with more abundant honor; and so our less comely parts have more comeliness added to them, of which our comely ones have no need.
24 Ma anyị adịghị esi otu a elekọta akụkụ ahụ ndị ahụ anya na-ahụ nʼụzọ pụrụ iche, nʼihi na Chineke kpachapụrụ anya mee ka akụkụ ndị ahụ dịkarịsịrị nta bụrụ nke anyị kwesiri inye nsọpụrụ karịa.
But God hath so blended the several parts of the body, giving greater honor to that which was deficient,
25 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, nkewa ọbụla adịghị nʼahụ mmadụ. Akụkụ ọbụla maara mkpa ibe ya, ha na-egborịtakwara onwe ha mkpa ha.
that there might be no schism in the body; but that all the members might have the same care one for another.
26 Ọ bụrụ na otu akụkụ enwe nsogbu, akụkụ ndị ọzọ ga-eketa oke na nsogbu ahụ. Ọ bụrụkwa na otu akụkụ emee ihe ga-eweta otuto ọ bụ ahụ niile na-enwe otuto ahụ.
And so if one member suffer all the members suffer with it; and if one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Ugbu a, unu niile nʼotu nʼotu bụ otu anụ ahụ Kraịst. Unu bụkwa akụkụ ahụ ya nʼotu nʼotu, bụrụkwa ndị dị mkpa nʼahụ ahụ.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and his members each of you in particular.
28 Nke a bụ ụfọdụ nʼime akụkụ dị iche iche Chineke tinyere na chọọchị; nke mbụ bụ ndị ozi, ndị amụma, ndị nkuzi, ndị na-arụ ọrụ ịtụnanya, ndị na-agwọ ọrịa, ndị pụrụ inyere mmadụ ibe ha aka, ndị nwere onyinye ịchịkọta ihe niile nʼusoro, na ndị na-asụ asụsụ dị iche iche.
And God hath placed you accordingly in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, and various kinds of tongues.
29 Ha niile, ha bụ ndị ozi? Ha niile ha bụ ndị amụma? Ha niile ha bụ ndị nkuzi? Ha niile ha bụ ndị ọrụ ebube?
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers?
30 Ha niile ha nwere onyinye ịgwọ ọrịa? Ha niile ha na-asụ nʼolu dị iche iche? Ha niile ha nwere onyinye nke ịkọwa asụsụ dị iche iche?
have all miraculous powers? have all the gifts of healing? do all speak many languages? do all interpret? but ye are all zealous for the best gifts.
31 Ugbu a, gbalịsienụ ike inweta onyinye kachasị dị elu karịa. Ma aga m ezi unu ụzọ nke kachasị ihe a niile mma.
Though I will shew you a way yet more excellent.
