1 Abhakorintho 12
1 Ingulu ye ebhiyanwa bhye emyoyo, bhamula na bhayala bhasu nitakwenda mubhulwe okusombokelwa.
Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t 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 heathen, 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 man 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 same 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 discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.
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 produces 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 Christ.
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 into 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 the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not 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.
If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not 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 hearing, where would the smelling be?
18 Nawe Nyamuanga amogele bhuli chungo echo omubhili nachitula ao endele omwene.
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
19 Na chisanga bhyona bhili chungo chimwi, omubhili gwakabheye aki?
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 Kulwejo oli ebhyungo ni bhyafu, nawe omubhili ni gumwi.
But now they 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 can’t tell 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.
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
23 Ne ebhungo ebhyo omubhili bhinu echitoga ati bhili ne echibhalo chitoto, echibhiyana echibhalo chafu.
Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,
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.
while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
25 Akolele kutyo koleleki bhwasiga kubhao obhutagani mumubhili, koleleki ebhyungo bhyona bhibhike kulwokwenda kwo omunu omwi.
that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
26 Akatungu echungo chimwi chikautala, ebhungo bhyona nibhyasha.
When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members 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 assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
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 various languages? Do all interpret?
31 Munomuno nimulonde ebhiyanwa ebhinene. Anyone nilibholesha injila eyobwana kukila jona.
But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
