1 Wakorintho 12
1 Kuhusu kalama sa rohoni, kaka ni dada bhayangu nilondahee mdulai kumanya.
Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Mmanyili ya kuwa pamwayele bhapagani mwalongosibhu kufuata sanamu sasibelili kulongela, ki njela syoasela mwalongosibhu nasu.
Ye know that when ye were Gentiles [ye were] led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.
3 Kwa elu, nilona mmanyai kuwa ayehee yuyuoa yhola yainena kwa Roho wa K'yara nikijobha, “Yesu alaanibhu.” Ayehee yuyuoayhola yailota kujobha, “Yesu ndo Bwana,” kaibelili kuya kwa Roho ntakatifu.
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.
4 Basi kuyee ni kalama tofauti tofauti, bali Roho ndo ndo muene yhola.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 Na kuyee huduma tofauti, bali Bwana ndo muene yhola.
And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
6 Na kuyee ni aina sibhele sa mbhombho, kakiyele K'yara ndo muene yhola yaibhombha mbhombho syoa kup'etela bhoa.
And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.
7 Basi kila mmonga ipelibhwa ufunuo wa Roho kwa faida ya bhoa.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.
8 Mana munu mmonga apelibhu ni Roho lilobhi la hekima, ni yhongi lilobhi la maalifa kwa Roho yhola yhola.
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 Kwa yhongi akampela imani kwa Roho muene yhola, ni kwa bhamana kalama ya kuponya kwa Roho mmonga.
to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;
10 Kwa bhamana matendo gha nghofo, ni bhamana unabii. Ni kwa bhamana ubhuezo wa kunpambanula Roho, yhongi aina mbalimbali ya lugha, ni kwa yhongi kutafusili lugha.
and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 Kakiyele Roho ndo yholayhola yaibhomba mbhombho ese syoa, kumpela kila munu kalama kwa kadili ya uchaguzi wa muene yumuene.
but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.
12 Kwa mana kutya kabhele mbhele ummonga, nabhu unafiungo fingi, ni fiungo fyoa ndo fya mbhele bhola, khekhu kabhele ni Kristu.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
13 Kwa mana kup'etela Roho mmonga tete tabhoa tabatizibhu kuyambhele umonga, kujobhela tuye bhayaudi au bhayunani, kujobhela tuye bhatumwa au hulu, ni tabhoa tunywesibhwai Roho mmonga.
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 Kwa mana mbhele si kiungo kimonga, bali fingi.
For the body is not one member, but many.
15 Ikayelai kigolo kilajobha, “kwa ndabha nene so kibhoko, nene si sehemu ya mbhele,” Efu yifuanyahee yisiyi sehemu ya mumbhele.
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
16 Ni ikayelai mbholokhoto lilajobha, “kwa kuwa nene na lihu lepi, nene si sehemu yambhele,”
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
17 eyu yifuanya khotokuya ulaya lihu, ngakuyendaku kwa kup'elekela? kutya mbhele bhuowa ukayelai mbholokhoto ngakuyendaku kwa kunusya?
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 Kakiyele K'yara abhekili kila kiungo kya mbhele mahali paki kutya kaapangili muene.
But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
19 Ni kutya fyoa ngafiyele kiungo kimonga, mbhele nganyele ndaku?
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 Efu henu fiungo fingi, kakiyele mbhele ummonga.
But now they are many members, but one body.
21 Lihu libhwesya lepi kulijobhela kibhoko, “Niyelepi ni haja ni bhebhe.” Wala mutu wibhwesyalepi kuujobhela magolo, niyee ni haja ni muenga.”
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 Kakiyele fiungo fya mumbhele fyafibhonekana kuya ni heshima kidogo fihitajika zaidi.
Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
23 Ni fiungo fya mbhele fyatizanila fiye ni heshima kidogo, tukafipela heshima zaidi, ni fiungo fya yhoti fyafibelili kuya ni mvuto fiyele ni unofu zaidi.
and those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;
24 Ni henu fiungo fya yhoto fyafiyele ni mvuto fiyele hee ni haja kupelibhwa heshima, kwa kuwa tayari fiyele ni heshima. kakiyele K'yara afiunganisi fiungo fyoa pamonga, na afipelili heshima zaidi fhela fafibelili kuheshimibhwa.
whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked;
25 Akhetili ekhu ili pasiyi mgawanyiku kup'etela mbhele, bali fiungo fyoa fitunzanai kwa upendo wa ummonga.
that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
26 Ni wakati fiungo kimonga kikalamalai, fiungo fyoa filamala kwa pamonga. Au wakati kiungo kimonga kikaheshimiwai, fiungo fyoa fihobholelai kwa pamonga.
And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Henu muenga ndo mbhele wa Kristu, ni kiungo kila kimonga ki kyene.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.
28 Ni K'yara abhekili kup'etela mulikanisa hosi mitume, pili manabii, tatu bhalimu, kabhele bhala bhoa bhabhitenda matendo mabhaa, kabhele kalama sa uponyaji, bhala bhabhisaidila, bhala bhifuanya mbhombho ya kulongosya, ni bhoa bhabhayele ni aina mbalimbali sya lugha.
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [divers] kinds of tongues.
29 Ko tete tabhoa ta mitume? Tete tabhoa ni manabii? tete tabhoa tabhalimu? Ko tete tabhoa tifuanya matendo gha miujiza?
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles?
30 Ko tete tabhoa tuye ni kalama ya uponyaji? tete tabhoa tilongela kwa lugha? Tete tabhoa titafusili kwa lugha?
have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 Mlondai sana kalama sasiyele sibhaa. Nani nilabhalasya njela ya iyele inofu kuzidi.
But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And a still more excellent way shew I unto you.
