1 Corinthians 12

1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

N naataani, yaali n nua U Tienu Foŋanma paabu, n ki bua ke i ye yanbɔnma nni.

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

I bani ke yin den tie nilanba, i den cedi ke bi dia yi, ke i ŋua ya buli n ki maadi, nani ban den tundi yi maama.

3 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.

Lanyapo i, ke n kadi ki maadi yi, ke obá ki ye, ki maadi U Tienu Foŋanma yeli po, ki ba yedi: “Sola Jesu!” Ama obá kan fidi ki yedi: “Jesu tie O Diedo! “li nan ya ki tie U Tienu Foŋanma yeli po yaa ka.

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

Bu paabu buoli yabi, ama foŋanyenma baba i;

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

I tuoncagbuoli yabi, ama O Diedo yendo baba i;

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

I tuonbuoli yabi, ama tienyendu baba n tuuni lan ya tuona kuli tikuli po.

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

Yuakuli baa mi foŋanma paabu, ke bu tie todli li nitaanli kuli po.

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

Lanwani i, yendo ba fidi ki baa Foŋanma paabu, ke bu tie yanfuoma, o tiano mo ń baa paabu, ke bu tie maabanma, ama foŋanyenma baba ya paabu i.

9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,

nitiano mo ba fidi ki baa ti dudugdi ya paabu, ke bu ñani foŋanyenma yeni kani, nitɔa mo ń baa ku tebgu ya paabu, ama foŋanyanma liga i.

10 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.

One ba fidi ki baa yaalidgu tuona paabu, nitɔa mo ń baa U Tienu sawalpuama paabu; o tiano mo ń baa ya paabu n ba todi o, wan fidi ki gagdi mi foŋanma yeni ya cicili n sieni; nitiano mo ba fidi ki baa ki ya maadi i maabuoli, tiano mo ń fidi ki ya sɔgindi i maabuoli.

11 But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

Foŋanyenma yeni liga n tuuni lan ya tuona kuli, ki puuni yuakuli nani wan bua maama.

12 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.

Kelima nani u gbanu ń tie yendu, ki nan pia ti gbannandi boncianla yeni, nani u gbanu gbannandi kuli, hali tin dɔa maama kuli, taani ki tie gbanyendu baba, Kiristu mo tie yeni i.

13 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.

Bi batise tikuli foŋanyenma baba yeli po i, ki ti taani ki tie gbanyendu, ti tie Juufi yo oo, Gileki bii nilanba yoo, yonbi bii (die n bá niba) bulcinba yo oo; tikuli ñuni foŋanyenma baba ya kani i.

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

Lanwani i, u gbanu ki tie gbannanyengu baba ka, ama ya gbannandi buoli n yabi.

15 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.

li taali ya bi yedi: “Min ki tie nuu yeni, mii ye u gbanu nni” lani ya po ba fidi ki cedi lan da ye u gbanu nni ii?

16 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.

Li tubli ba fidi ki yedi: “Mii tie nunbu ka, lani ya po mii ji taa yeni u gbanu” lanyapo li ji kan ye taa yeni u gbanu uu?

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

U gbanu kuli ya bi tie nunbu, u bi ba tieni ledi, ki ya gbia mi maama; bii u bi ya tie nunbu, u bi ba tieni ledi, ki ya nubni u nuulu.

18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

Mɔlane, U tienu bili gbannangu kuli u gbanu nni wan bua maama.

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

Ti gbannandi kuli ya bi taani ki tie gbannanyengu, u gbanu bi baa ye le i?

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

Lanwani i, Mɔlane ti gbannandi yabi, ama gbanyendu baba i

21 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.”

Bu nunbu kan fidi ki maadi u nuu: “Mii pia a buama”; nani li yuli ń kan fidi ki maadi a taana: “Mii bua i maama”.

22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

Ama ya gbannandi n naani ke ti tadi ki cie yeni, tini mo n pia mi buama u gbanu po.

23 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,

Lanwani i, tin maali ke ya gbannandi n ki dagdi yeni jilma yeni, ti fangi tini i, ti ŋanbi ki wuondi ti fee gbannandi ki cie ya gbannandi n sieni.

24 while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

Ama ya gbannandi n ki tie fee yaadi, li ki buali tin wuoni ti. U Tienu bili ki tugni gbannangu kuli ki bua ke yaadi n ki dagdi yeni jilma yeni ń baa jilma.

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

Lan fidi ke paadma ń da ye u gbanu nni, ama ke ti gbannandi ń ya todi tiyadi.

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

Gbannanyengu ya kɔni, ti gbannandi kuli taani gu ki kɔni i; gbannanyengu ya baa ti kpiagdi, ti gbannandi kuli mangdi bi pala yeni gu.

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

I tie Kiristu gbanu i, ki tie o gbannandi, yuakuli o yuli po.

28 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.

U Tienu cili ki kaani o nitaanli nni bi tondiba i, mi liema bi sawalpuaba, mi taama yiko gbanbanda (tundkaaba), li puoli po, yaaba n tie yaalidgu bona ye, ke yaaba n tebi a yiema ye; bi todkaaba mo ye, bi gobdikaaba mo ye, ke yaaba n maadi i maabuoli mo ye.

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

Bi kuli tie tondiba yo oo? Bi kuli tie sawalpuaba yo oo? Bi kuli tie tundkaaba y o oo?

30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?

Bi kuli pia yaalidgu tuona paabu uu? Bi kuli pia bi yianba tebma paabu uu? Bi kuli fidi ki maadi i maabuoli ii? Bi kuli ba fidi ki sɔgni i maabuoli ii?

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

Lanwani i, yin ya bua ya paabu n ŋani ki cie. N go ba waani yi ya sanu n ŋani ki cie.
