1 Ukorintiyawa 12

1 Kitene nfilizunu nfip milau, nuana nilime nin nishono, na ndi nin su iso nin kulon ghe ba.

Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2 Iyiru nenge kubi ko na iwa di anan sali fiu Kutellẹ, iwa wunu minu udu kiti ticil mituri na iwa dofin nij ghinu.

You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.

3 Bara nani ndi nin su iyinin na umon masu uliru nin Fip Kutellẹ a woro “Yisa unan la'anari,” anani na umon wasa a woro “Yisa Cikilari,” se nin Nfip milau.

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.

4 Nene unizu nfip migangang duku, a Nfip mirume

Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit;

5 . Nituawe di ngangang, a Cikilari urum.

And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;

6 A nit wa duku ngangang, nani Kutellẹ kurumere nati kogha uni yinin use nani.

And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.

7 Nene kogha ina nighe nkanang Nfip milau bara ulinbun nkogha.

And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.

8 Bara kiti nmon ana ni Nfip nliru nhikima, a mn tutung agbulang licasarak nan nya Nfip mirume.

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

9 Nan nya Nfip mirume ana ni uyinnu sa uyenu, a umn ufillun Nfip nshizunu nin tikonu.

To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit;

10 Kiti nmong nituwa tigoh, kiti nmon uanabci, kiting mong tutung uyinu maferuferu nfip, kitinmon tilem ngangang a kiti nmon tutung ukpilizu tilem tilem.

To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.

11 Vat nani Nfip mirumere din su katwa nan na mine, adin nizu kogha ku ussamme, nafo na ame nfere.

But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.

12 Nafo na kidowe di kirum nin niti nitiku gbardang tutung vat nitinite nin kidowo kirumere, nanere Kriste di.

For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.

13 Nafo na udi nan nya Nfip mirume iwa shintin nari vat nan nya kidowo kirume, Ayahudawa sa Ahelenawa, sa Acin sa nono kilari, iwa tinari vat tisono nan nya Nfip mirume.

For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.

14 Bara na kidowe di kirumari ba, amma ki karin.

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

15 Kubunu nwa woro, “Na meng ucharari ba, na meng di kubiri kidowo ba,” na uso na meng kidowa ba.

If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

16 Kutuf nwa kuru kuworo “Na meng liyiziari ba, na mmyen nin duku nin kidowo ba,” na uso na ame kubiri kidowari ba.

And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

17 Ankuru kidowe vat liyiziari, ulanzu wa yutu nweri? Andi kidowe vat kutufari, ulanzu kuyya wa yitu nweri?

If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

18 Vat nani Kutellẹ na cioe ko kome kubiri kidowo kiti kanga na ame na di nin suwe.

But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.

19 Andi tutung kidowe di kubiri kurumari, kidowe wa yitu nwe?

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

20 Negene idi niti niti gbardang, amma kidowe kirumari cas.

But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.

21 Na lizi wasa li woro ucara “Na ndi nin bukatafe ba,'' A na liti ma bellu kubunu, “Na ndi nin bukata fe ba,”

And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help; nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.

22 Bara abiri kidowo alenge na tidin yenju fo na ni dinin katwa ba, ni di mun kang.

Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.

23 Anin abiri kidowe na tidin yenju nafo na imon icine ba, na ti ni ani ngongong, anin abiri alenge na ti sali sa uyenju tini ani ughantinu kang.

And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness.

24 Nengene abiri alenge na a sali nin bellen ghatinu, ina malu ghatinuani, negene Kutellẹ na malu udofuzu anin vat ligowe, anin ghantina kang alenge na isali mun.

But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,

25 Ana su nani bara iwa se usalin nmunu nati nan nya kidowe, bara abirie nan mino ati, usu mine so nani urume.

That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.

26 Nani kubiri kurum nwa lanza ukul, vat ngisin nabiri lanza ligowe nin kone. Sa nkon kubiri nwase ughanitinu, ngisine su liburi libo ligowe nin kunin.

And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Nengene anung kidowo in Kristiari abiri ngangang kidowo me.

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

28 Kutellẹ na fere nan nya nikilisiyẹ ucizune anan kadura, a Anabawa, a Pasto, anan tat anan dursuzu ni nyerte nin na lenge na idin su nitwa nin likara Kutellẹ, nin nanan shizinu nin tikonu, nin nalege na din buzunu anit, nan nalenge na idin su nitwa nan nya ti wofis, nan na lenge na idin bellu tilen ngangang.

And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that miracles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.

29 Vat bite anan kadurarie? Vat bite a Pastoarie? Vat bite anan dursuzu niyertearie? Sa vat bite din su nitwa nin likara Kutellẹ?

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?

30 Vat bite di nin fillu nshizunu nin tikonua? Vat bite din su uliru nin tilen ugangangha? Vat bite din kpiluzu uliru nin tilen ugangagha?

Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

31 Na tisu ntok nnizu Kutellẹ ugbardang. Meng ma nin dursu minu libau longo na likati vat nin lau.

But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.
