1 Kolinitō 12

1 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi foaki fakalaumālie, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ke mou taʻeʻilo.

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

2 ‌ʻOku mou ʻilo naʻa mou nofo ko e ngaahi Senitaile, naʻe ʻāvea ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi tamapua noa, ʻo hangē ko hono taki ʻakimoutolu.

You know that when you were unbelievers, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

3 Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku lea ʻi he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ʻe pehē ʻe ia, ko e malaʻia ʻa Sisu: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa pehē, ko e ʻEiki ʻa Sisu, ka ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by God's Rukha says, "Yeshua is accursed." No one can say, "Yeshua is Lord," but by the Rukha d'Qudsha.

4 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi foaki kehekehe, ka ko e Laumālie pe taha.

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Rukha.

5 Pea ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi tauhi kehekehe, ka ko e ʻEiki pe taha.

There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.

6 Pea ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi ngāue kehekehe, ka ko e ʻOtua pe taha ʻoku fai kotoa pē ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.

There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.

7 Ka kuo foaki ʻae fakahā ʻoe Laumālie ki he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ke feʻaongaʻaki.

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Rukha for the profit of all.

8 He kuo foaki ki he tokotaha ʻi he Laumālie ʻae lea ʻoe poto; ki he tokotaha ʻae lea ʻoe ʻilo ʻi he Laumālie ko ia;

For to one is given through the Rukha the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Rukha;

9 Ki he tokotaha ʻae tui ʻi he Laumālie ko ia; ki he tokotaha ʻae foaki ʻoe fakamoʻui ʻi he Laumālie ko ia;

to another faith, by the same Rukha; and to another gifts of healings, by the one Rukha;

10 Ki he tokotaha ʻae fai ʻoe ngaahi mana; ki he tokotaha ʻae kikite; ki he tokotaha ʻae ʻilo ki he ngaahi laumālie; ki he tokotaha ʻae lea kehekehe; ki he tokotaha hono fakamatala ʻoe ngaahi lea:

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 Ka ʻoku langaʻi eni kotoa pē ʻe he Laumālie pe taha ko ia, ʻo vahevahe taki taha ki he tangata kotoa pē ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe.

But the one and the same Rukha works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

12 He ʻoku hangē ʻoku taha pe ʻae sino, ka ʻoku lahi hono ngaahi kupu, pea ko e ngaahi kupu kotoa pē ʻoe sino pe taha ko ia ʻoku lahi, ka ko e sino pe taha ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻa Kalaisi.

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 Meshikha.

13 He kuo tau papitaiso kotoa pē ʻi he Laumālie pe taha ki he sino pe taha, pe ko ha kakai Siu pe ko ha kakai Senitaile, ko ha pōpula pe ha tauʻatāina; pea naʻe fakainu ʻakitautolu kotoa pē ki he Laumālie pe taha.

For in one Rukha we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink of one Rukha.

14 He ʻoku ʻikai ko e kupu pe taha ʻae sino, ka ʻoku lahi.

For the body is not one member, but many.

15 Kapau ʻe lea ʻae vaʻe, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ko e nima au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe sino au;” pea ʻoku ʻikai ai ʻi he sino ia?

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 Pea kapau ʻe lea ʻae telinga, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ko e mata au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe sino au;” pea ʻoku ʻikai ai ʻi he sino ia?

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 Ka ne ko e mata ʻae sino kotoa, pea ʻe ʻi fē ʻae fanongo? Pea ka ne ko e fanongo ʻae kupu kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻi fē ʻae nanamu?

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 Ka ko eni, kuo fakahoko ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kupu taki taha kotoa pē ʻi he sino, ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe ia.

But as a matter of fact, God has arranged the members of the body, each one of them, according to his design.

19 Pea ka ne ko e kupu pe taha ʻaia kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻi fē ʻae sino?

If they were all the same member, where would the body be?

20 Ka ko eni, ko e ngaahi kupu ʻoku lahi ka ko e sino pe taha.

So now there are many members, but one body.

21 Pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lea ʻae mata ki he nima, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻaonga kiate au:” pea pehē ʻe he ʻulu ki he vaʻe, “ʻOku ʻikai te mo ʻaonga kiate au.”

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 ‌ʻIkai, ka ko e ngaahi kupu ko ia ʻoe sino, ʻaia ʻoku matamatavaivai, ʻoku lahi hake hono ʻaonga:

On the contrary, those members which seem to be weaker are essential,

23 Pea ko e ngaahi kupu ko ia ʻoe sino, ʻoku tau mahalo ki ai ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻenau matamatalelei, ʻoku tau tokanga lahi ʻaupito ki ai; pea ko hotau ngaahi potu taʻematamatalelei ʻoku ai hono matamatalelei lahi hake ʻaupito.

and the parts which we think less honorable we treat with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with dignity,

24 He ko hotau ngaahi potu matamatalelei, ʻoku ʻikai hanau masiva: ka kuo fakatatau fakataha ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae sino, ʻo ne foaki ʻae matamatalelei lahi hake ʻaupito ki he potu ko ia ʻoku masiva:

whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the lesser member,

25 Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha mavahevahe ʻi he sino; ka koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻae fetokangaʻaki pe ʻe he ngaahi kupu kotoa pe.

that there may be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern for one another.

26 Pea kapau ʻe mamahi ʻae kupu ʻe taha, ʻoku mamahi mo ia ʻae ngaahi kupu kotoa pē; pea ka fakahikihiki ʻae kupu ʻe taha, ʻoku fiefia mo ia ʻae kupu kotoa pē.

When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.

27 Pea ko eni, ko e sino ʻo Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, pea ko e ngaahi kupu taki taha.

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

28 Pea kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae niʻihi ʻi he siasi, ko e ʻuluaki ko e kau ʻaposetolo, ko hono ua ko e kau palōfita, ko hono tolu ko e kau akonaki, hoko mo ia ʻae kau fai meʻa mana, hoko mo e ngaahi foaki ʻoe fakamoʻui, mo e kau tokoni, mo e kau enginaki, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻilo ʻae lea kehekehe.

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 He ko e ʻaposetolo kotoa pē? He ko e palōfita kotoa pē? He ko e akonaki kotoa pē? He ko e kau fai meʻa mana kotoa pē?

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?

30 ‌ʻOku maʻu kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi foaki ʻoe fakamoʻui? ʻOku lea kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea kehekehe? ʻOku fakamatala lea kotoa pē?

Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

31 Ke mou holi lahi ki he ngaahi foaki fungani lelei. Pea ʻoku ou toe fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae hala ʻoku lelei lahi.

But earnestly desire the greater gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
