1 karinthinaḥ 12

1 he bhrātaraḥ, yūyaṁ yad ātmikān dāyān anavagatāstiṣṭhatha tadahaṁ nābhilaṣāmi|

And concerning spirituals, my brethren, I would have you know,

2 pūrvvaṁ bhinnajātīyā yūyaṁ yadvad vinītāstadvad avākpratimānām anugāmina ādhbam iti jānītha|

that ye have been pagans; and have been, without distinction, led away after idols, in which there is no speech.

3 iti hetorahaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ nivedayāmi, īśvarasyātmanā bhāṣamāṇaḥ ko'pi yīśuṁ śapta iti na vyāharati, punaśca pavitreṇātmanā vinītaṁ vinānyaḥ ko'pi yīśuṁ prabhuriti vyāharttuṁ na śaknoti|

I therefore inform you, that there is no man, that speaketh by the Spirit of God, who saith that Jesus is accursed: neither can a man say that Jesus is the Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

4 dāyā bahuvidhāḥ kintveka ātmā

Now there are diversities of gifts; but the Spirit is one.

5 paricaryyāśca bahuvidhāḥ kintvekaḥ prabhuḥ|

And there are diversities of ministrations; but the Lord is one.

6 sādhanāni bahuvidhāni kintu sarvveṣu sarvvasādhaka īśvara ekaḥ|

And there are diversities of energies; but God, who worketh all in all men, is one.

7 ekaikasmai tasyātmano darśanaṁ parahitārthaṁ dīyate|

And to each man, there is given a manifestation of the Spirit, that it may aid him.

8 ekasmai tenātmanā jñānavākyaṁ dīyate, anyasmai tenaivātmanādiṣṭaṁ vidyāvākyam,

To one, by the Spirit, there is given a word of wisdom; and to another, by the same Spirit, there is given a word of knowledge:

9 anyasmai tenaivātmanā viśvāsaḥ, anyasmai tenaivātmanā svāsthyadānaśaktiḥ,

to another, by the same Spirit, faith: to another, by the same Spirit, gifts of healing:

10 anyasmai duḥsādhyasādhanaśaktiranyasmai ceśvarīyādeśaḥ, anyasmai cātimānuṣikasyādeśasya vicārasāmarthyam, anyasmai parabhāṣābhāṣaṇaśaktiranyasmai ca bhāṣārthabhāṣaṇasāmaryaṁ dīyate|

and to another, miracles: and to another, prophecy: and to another, the discerning of spirits: and to another, divers kinds of tongues: and to another, the interpretation of tongues.

11 ekenādvitīyenātmanā yathābhilāṣam ekaikasmai janāyaikaikaṁ dānaṁ vitaratā tāni sarvvāṇi sādhyante|

But all these, worketh that one Spirit; and he distributeth to every one as he pleaseth.

12 deha ekaḥ sannapi yadvad bahvaṅgayukto bhavati, tasyaikasya vapuṣo 'ṅgānāṁ bahutvena yadvad ekaṁ vapu rbhavati, tadvat khrīṣṭaḥ|

For as the body is one, and in it are many members; and all those members of the body, though many, are one body; so also is the Messiah.

13 yato heto ryihūdibhinnajātīyadāsasvatantrā vayaṁ sarvve majjanenaikenātmanaikadehīkṛtāḥ sarvve caikātmabhuktā abhavāma|

For all of us, likewise, by one Spirit, have been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free; and all of us have drinked in one Spirit.

14 ekenāṅgena vapu rna bhavati kintu bahubhiḥ|

For a body also, is not one member, but many.

15 tatra caraṇaṁ yadi vadet nāhaṁ hastastasmāt śarīrasya bhāgo nāsmīti tarhyanena śarīrāt tasya viyogo na bhavati|

For if the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, on that account, not of the body?

16 śrotraṁ vā yadi vadet nāhaṁ nayanaṁ tasmāt śarīrasyāṁśo nāsmīti tarhyanena śarīrāt tasya viyogo na bhavati|

Or if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it, on that account, not of the body?

17 kṛtsnaṁ śarīraṁ yadi darśanendriyaṁ bhavet tarhi śravaṇendriyaṁ kutra sthāsyati? tat kṛtsnaṁ yadi vā śravaṇendriyaṁ bhavet tarhi ghraṇendriyaṁ kutra sthāsyati?

And if the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? Or if it were all hearing, where would be the smelling?

18 kintvidānīm īśvareṇa yathābhilaṣitaṁ tathaivāṅgapratyaṅgānām ekaikaṁ śarīre sthāpitaṁ|

But now hath God placed every one of the members in the body, according to his pleasure.

19 tat kṛtsnaṁ yadyekāṅgarūpi bhavet tarhi śarīre kutra sthāsyati?

And if they were all one member, where would be the body?

20 tasmād aṅgāni bahūni santi śarīraṁ tvekameva|

But now they are many members, yet but one body.

21 ataeva tvayā mama prayojanaṁ nāstīti vācaṁ pāṇiṁ vadituṁ nayanaṁ na śaknoti, tathā yuvābhyāṁ mama prayojanaṁ nāstīti mūrddhā caraṇau vadituṁ na śaknotiḥ;

The eye cannot say to the hand, Thou art not needful to me: nor can the head say to the feet, Ye are not needful to me.

22 vastutastu vigrahasya yānyaṅgānyasmābhi rdurbbalāni budhyante tānyeva saprayojanāni santi|

But rather, those members which are accounted feeble, are indispensable.

23 yāni ca śarīramadhye'vamanyāni budhyate tānyasmābhiradhikaṁ śobhyante| yāni ca kudṛśyāni tāni sudṛśyatarāṇi kriyante

And those which we think dishonorable in the body, on them we heap more honor; and those that are uncomely, on them we put the more decoration.

24 kintu yāni svayaṁ sudṛśyāni teṣāṁ śobhanam niṣprayojanaṁ|

For the honorable members in us, have no need of honor: for God hath tempered the body, and given more honor to the member which is inferior;

25 śarīramadhye yad bhedo na bhavet kintu sarvvāṇyaṅgāni yad aikyabhāvena sarvveṣāṁ hitaṁ cintayanti tadartham īśvareṇāpradhānam ādaraṇīyaṁ kṛtvā śarīraṁ viracitaṁ|

that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members, equally, might care for one another;

26 tasmād ekasyāṅgasya pīḍāyāṁ jātāyāṁ sarvvāṇyaṅgāni tena saha pīḍyante, ekasya samādare jāte ca sarvvāṇi tena saha saṁhṛṣyanti|

so that, when one member is in pain, they will all sympathize; and if one member is exalted, all the members will be exalted.

27 yūyañca khrīṣṭasya śarīraṁ, yuṣmākam ekaikaśca tasyaikaikam aṅgaṁ|

Now ye are the body of Messiah, and members in your place.

28 kecit kecit samitāvīśvareṇa prathamataḥ preritā dvitīyata īśvarīyādeśavaktārastṛtīyata upadeṣṭāro niyuktāḥ, tataḥ paraṁ kebhyo'pi citrakāryyasādhanasāmarthyam anāmayakaraṇaśaktirupakṛtau lokaśāsane vā naipuṇyaṁ nānābhāṣābhāṣaṇasāmarthyaṁ vā tena vyatāri|

For God hath placed in his church, first, legates; after them, prophets; after them, teachers; after them, workers of miracles; after them, the gifts of healing, and helpers, and leaders, and various kinds of tongues.

29 sarvve kiṁ preritāḥ? sarvve kim īśvarīyādeśavaktāraḥ? sarvve kim upadeṣṭāraḥ? sarvve kiṁ citrakāryyasādhakāḥ?

Are they all legates? Are they all prophets? Are they all teachers? Are they all workers of miracles?

30 sarvve kim anāmayakaraṇaśaktiyuktāḥ? sarvve kiṁ parabhāṣāvādinaḥ? sarvve vā kiṁ parabhāṣārthaprakāśakāḥ?

Have all of them the gifts of healing? Do they all speak with tongues? Or do they all interpret?

31 yūyaṁ śreṣṭhadāyān labdhuṁ yatadhvaṁ| anena yūyaṁ mayā sarvvottamamārgaṁ darśayitavyāḥ|

And if ye are emulous of the superior gifts, on the other hand, I show to you a better way.
