1 Abhakorintho 12
1 Ingulu ye ebhiyanwa bhye emyoyo, bhamula na bhayala bhasu nitakwenda mubhulwe okusombokelwa.
Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
2 Omumenya lwa kutyo ao mwaliga muli bhapagani mwatangasibhwaga ne ebhisusano bhinu bhitakuloma, munjila jona jona jabhatangashaga.
You know that when you were unbelievers, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
3 Kulwejo, enenda mumenye kutya ataliwo wonawona unu kaika kwo Omwoyo gwa Nyamuanga naika ati, “Yesu afumilisibhwe.” Ataliwo wonawona unu alyaika ati, “Yesu ni Mukama,”atali okusokelela Mwoyo Mwelu.
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 Mbe bhiliwo ebhiyanwa bhya bhuli mbaga, tali Mwoyo Mwelu ni ulya ulya.
Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 Okufurubhenda kulio kwa bhuli mbaga, tali Omukama ni ulya ulya.
There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
6 Kajilio emilimo ja bhuli mbaga, nawe Nyamuanga unu kakola emilimo jona mubhanu bhona niwoyo oyo ela.
There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.
7 Mbe bhuli munu kayabhwa okuswelulilwa kwo Mwoyo kulwo omugaso gwa bhanu bhona.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
8 Kulwokubha omunu umwi ayabhilwe no Mwoyo omusango gwo obhwengeso, koundi nayabhwa omusango gwo obhumenyi okusoka ku Mwoyo ogwo gwo ela.
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 Ku undi Mwoyo namuyana elikilisha, ku undi Mwoyo namuyana echiyanwa echokuosha.
to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the one Spirit;
10 Oundi namuyana ebhikolwa bhya amanaga, no oundi okusosha obhulagi. Koundi namuyana obhutulo bhwo okugajula emyoyo, oundi namuyana obhutulo bhwokumenya jindimi, koundi okubhutabhuta jindimi.
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 Nawe Mwoyo niwe unu kakola emilimu jona jinu, okuyana bhuli munu echiyanwa okwingana lwakutyo kasola omwene enyele.
But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
12 Kunsonga lwakutyo omubhili ni gumwi, ka gugwatene ne ebhilungo bhyafu, ebhilungo bhyona bhili kumubhili gumwi, na nikwo kutyo jili na ku Kristo.
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 Messiah.
13 Kunsonga mu Mwoyo umwi eswe bhona chabhatijibhwe okubha mubhili gumwi, bhabhe Abhayaudi amo Abhayunani, chibhe bha bhagaya amo abhatwale, na bhona chanywesibhwe Mwoyo umwi.
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 Kunsonga omubhili gutali ebhala limwi, tali ni bhyafu.
For the body is not one member, but many.
15 Labha okugulu kukaika ati, “kulwokubha anye nitali kubhoko, anye nitali ebhala elyo omubhili,” okwaika kutyo kutakuganya okubha ebhala lyo omubhili.
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 Ka labha okutwi kukaika ati, okubha anye nitali liso, mbe anye nitali ebhala lyo okubhili,” obhwaiki obhwo bhutakuganya kusige okubha ebhala elyo omubhili.
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 Labha omubhili gwona gukabha liso, mbe okungwa kwakabeye aki? Labha omubhili gwona gukabha kutwi, mbe okuunyilisha kwakabeye aki?
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 Nawe Nyamuanga amogele bhuli chungo echo omubhili nachitula ao endele omwene.
But as a matter of fact, God has arranged the members of the body, each one of them, according to his design.
19 Na chisanga bhyona bhili chungo chimwi, omubhili gwakabheye aki?
If they were all the same member, where would the body be?
20 Kulwejo oli ebhyungo ni bhyafu, nawe omubhili ni gumwi.
So now there are many members, but one body.
21 Mbe eliso litakutula okubhwila okubhoko ati,”nitali na mulimo nawe.” Nolwo omutwe gutakutula okubhwila amagulu ati, “nitali na mulimo nemwe.”
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 Nawe ebhungo bhyo omubhili bhinu ebhibhonekana okubha ne echibhalo chitoto bhili nemilimo minene.
On the contrary, those members which seem to be weaker are essential,
23 Ne ebhungo ebhyo omubhili bhinu echitoga ati bhili ne echibhalo chitoto, echibhiyana echibhalo chafu.
and the parts which we think less honorable we treat with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with dignity,
24 Na ebhungo bhye ekisi mumeso bhitakusubha kuyabhwa echibhalo, kulwokubha bhyamalile okubha ne echibhalo. Nawe Nyamuanga abhitee amwi ebhungo bhyona, nokubhiyana echibhalo chafu bhinu bhitali na chibhalo.
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the lesser member,
25 Akolele kutyo koleleki bhwasiga kubhao obhutagani mumubhili, koleleki ebhyungo bhyona bhibhike kulwokwenda kwo omunu omwi.
that there may be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern for one another.
26 Akatungu echungo chimwi chikautala, ebhungo bhyona nibhyasha.
When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.
27 Mbe emwe olyanu muli mubhili gwa Kristo, ne ebhungo bhuli chimwi chwimwi kulubhala lwacho chigwatene na Kristo.
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
28 Mbe Nyamuanga mwikanisa ateyeo echokwamba jintumwa, echakabhili abhalagi, echakasatu abhalimu, okwiya bhanu bhona abhakola ebhikolwa ebhikulu, okwiya echiyanwa ebhyo okuosha, bhanu abhasakila, bhanu abhakola omulimu gwo ukutangasha, na bhona bhanu abhamenya jindimi eja bhuli mbaga.
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 Mbe eswe bhona chili ntumwa? Eswe bhona chili bhalagi? Eswe bhona chili bhalimu, Mbe eswe bhona echikola ebhikolwa ebhyo okulugusha?
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
30 Enibhusya, eswe bhona chili ne chiyanwa echo okuwosha? Eswe bhona echisimula kunyaika? Eswe bhona echigajula inyaika?
Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31 Munomuno nimulonde ebhiyanwa ebhinene. Anyone nilibholesha injila eyobwana kukila jona.
But earnestly desire the greater gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
