1 Corinthians 12

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

Me nuanom, mempɛ sɛ morenhu nsɛm a ɛfa Honhom Kronkron akyɛde no ho no.

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

Munim sɛ bere a na moyɛ abosonsomfo no, moyeraa kwan kɔɔ ahoni a awuwu no nkyɛn.

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.

Nea ɛsɛ sɛ mote ase ne sɛ, obiara a ɔwɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom akwankyerɛ no ka se “Yesu yɛ Awurade,” na ɔnnome Yesu.

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

Akyɛde no gu ahorow nanso Honhom koro no ara na ɛkyekyɛ.

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

Akwan ahorow bebree wɔ hɔ a wɔfa so som nanso Awurade koro no ara na wɔsom no.

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

Tumi ahorow bebree wɔ hɔ a wɔnam so som, nanso Onyankopɔn koro no ara na ɔma obiara tumi ma ɔde som.

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

Honhom Kronkron no nam yɛn mmaako mmaako so da ne ho adi wɔ akwan bi so ma ɛboa yɛn nyinaa.

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,

Honhom Kronkron no ma obi nyansa na Honhom Kronkron no ara nso ama obi osuahu.

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

Saa Honhom Kronkron no ara ma obi gyidi na ɔma obi nso tumi a ɔde sa nyarewa.

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.

Honhom Kronkron no ma obi tumi ma ɔyɛ anwonwade; obi nso, ɔma no tumi ma ɔka Onyankopɔn asɛm; na ɔfoforo nso ɔma no tumi ma ɔkyerɛ nsonoe a ɛda akyɛde a efi Honhom Kronkron no ne nea emfi Honhom Kronkron no mu. Honhom Kronkron no ma obi tumi ma ɔka kasa foforo na ɔma ɔfoforo nso tumi ma ɔkyerɛ kasa foforo no ase.

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

Ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron koro no ara na ɔyɛ eyinom nyinaa; akyɛde ahorow a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde ma obiara no, ɔde ma no.

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.

Kristo te sɛ onipadua baako a ɛwɔ akwaa bebree; ɛwɔ mu sɛ ɛwɔ akwaa bebree de, nanso ɛyɛ nipadua koro no ara.

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.

Wɔnam saa ɔkwan koro no ara so abɔ yɛn Yudafo ne amanamanmufo ne nkoa ne yɛn a yɛde yɛn ho no asu. Wɔnam Honhom Kronkron koro no so abɔ yɛn asu ahyɛ saa onipa koro no ara mu. Na wɔde saa Honhom Kronkron no ama yɛn nyinaa se yɛnnom.

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

Onipadua no ankasa nyɛ akwaa baako; ɛyɛ akwaa bebree.

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.

Sɛ nan ka se, “Esiane sɛ menyɛ nsa nti, menka nipadua no ho” a, ɛnyɛ ɛno na ɛremma no nyɛ nipadua no fa bi.

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.

Na sɛ aso ka se, “Esiane sɛ menyɛ aniwa nti, menka nipadua no ho” a, ɛnyɛ ɛno na ɛremma no nyɛ nipadua no fa bi.

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

Na sɛ nipadua no nyinaa yɛ aniwa a, anka ɛbɛyɛ dɛn ate asɛm? Na sɛ ɛyɛ aso a anka ɛbɛyɛ dɛn ahua ade?

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

Sɛnea Onyankopɔn pɛ no no na ɔde akwaa biara sii.

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

Sɛ nipadua no nyinaa yɛ akwaa koro a, anka nipadua no bɛyɛ dɛn?

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

Sɛnea ɛte no, akwaa gu ahorow, nanso nipadua no yɛ baako pɛ.

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.”

Eyi nti, aniwa ntumi nka nkyerɛ nsa se, “Wo ho nhia me!” Saa ara na eti rentumi nka nkyerɛ nan se, “Wo ho nhia me!”

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

Saa ara na yɛrentumi nyɛ biribiara a akwaa a ɛyɛ mmerɛw no nka ho mma ɛnyɛ yiye.

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,

Akwaa a yesusuw sɛ enni mu pii no mmom na yɛhwɛ no yiye, na nea ɛnyɛ fɛ wɔ nipadua ho no nso yɛhwɛ no yiye pa ara.

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

Na akwaa a edi mu no, saa ɔhwɛ no ho nhia no. Onyankopɔn ankasa nam ɔkwan bi so akeka nipadua no asisi anim de ahyɛ akwaa a wommu no no anuonyam.

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

Enti nkyekyɛmu biara nni nipadua no mu. Akwaa no nyinaa keka wɔn ho wɔn ho bɔ mu.

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

Sɛ akwaa baako ho ka a, akwaa a aka no nyinaa ho ka bi. Na sɛ wɔkamfo akwaa no bi a, anigye ka akwaa a aka no nyinaa.

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

Enti mo nyinaa moyɛ Kristo nipadua. Na mo mu biara yɛ nʼakwaa.

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.

Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ biribiara pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ asafo no mu: Nea edi kan, asomafo; nea ɛto so abien, adiyifo; nea ɛto so abiɛsa, akyerɛkyerɛfo; afei wɔn a wɔyɛ anwonwade na wɔn a wɔama wɔn tumi de sa yare anaa wɔboa afoforo anaa wɔkyerɛ wɔn kwan anaa wɔka kasa foforo.

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

Wɔn nyinaa nyɛ asomafo anaa adiyifo anaa akyerɛkyerɛfo. Ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔwɔ tumi a wɔde yɛ anwonwade

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

anaa wɔsa nyarewa, anaa wɔka kasa foforo anaa wɔkyerɛ nea wɔka no ase.

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

Monhwehwɛ akyɛde a ɛbɛboa mo yiye akyi kwan. Mɛkyerɛ mo ɔkwan foforo a eye pa ara.
