1 Ukorintiyawa 12
1 Kitene nfilizunu nfip milau, nuana nilime nin nishono, na ndi nin su iso nin kulon ghe ba.
In the next place, Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant about spiritual gifts.
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 there was a time when you were Gentiles, going astray after idols that could not speak, just as you happened to be 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.
Therefore I tell you plainly that no one who speaks under the influence of the Spirit of God says ‘JESUS IS ACCURSED,’ and that no one can say ‘JESUS IS LORD,’ except under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
4 Nene unizu nfip migangang duku, a Nfip mirume
Gifts differ, but the Spirit is the same;
5 . Nituawe di ngangang, a Cikilari urum.
ways of serving differ, yet the Master is the same;
6 A nit wa duku ngangang, nani Kutellẹ kurumere nati kogha uni yinin use nani.
results differ, yet the God who brings about every result is in every case the same.
7 Nene kogha ina nighe nkanang Nfip milau bara ulinbun nkogha.
To each man there is given spiritual illumination for the general good.
8 Bara kiti nmon ana ni Nfip nliru nhikima, a mn tutung agbulang licasarak nan nya Nfip mirume.
To one is given the power to speak with wisdom through the Spirit; to another the power to speak with knowledge, due to the same Spirit;
9 Nan nya Nfip mirume ana ni uyinnu sa uyenu, a umn ufillun Nfip nshizunu nin tikonu.
to another faith by the same Spirit; to another power to cure diseases by the one Spirit; to another supernatural powers;
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 gift of preaching; to another the gift of distinguishing between true and false inspiration; to another varieties of the gift of ‘tongues’; to another the power to interpret ‘tongues.’
11 Vat nani Nfip mirumere din su katwa nan na mine, adin nizu kogha ku ussamme, nafo na ame nfere.
All these result from one and the same Spirit, who distributes his gifts to each individually as he wills.
12 Nafo na kidowe di kirum nin niti nitiku gbardang tutung vat nitinite nin kidowo kirumere, nanere Kriste di.
For just as the human body is one whole, and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many though they are, form but one body, so it is with the 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 it was by one Spirit that we were all baptized to form one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free men, and were all imbued with one Spirit.
14 Bara na kidowe di kirumari ba, amma ki karin.
The human body, I repeat, consists not of one part, but of many.
15 Kubunu nwa woro, “Na meng ucharari ba, na meng di kubiri kidowo ba,” na uso na meng kidowa ba.
If the foot says ‘Since I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ it does not on that account cease to belong to 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.
Or if the ear says ‘Since I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it does not on that account cease to belong to the body.
17 Ankuru kidowe vat liyiziari, ulanzu wa yutu nweri? Andi kidowe vat kutufari, ulanzu kuyya wa yitu nweri?
If all the body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If it were all hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
18 Vat nani Kutellẹ na cioe ko kome kubiri kidowo kiti kanga na ame na di nin suwe.
But in fact God has placed each individual part just where he thought fit in the body.
19 Andi tutung kidowe di kubiri kurumari, kidowe wa yitu nwe?
If, however, they all made up only one part, where would the body be?
20 Negene idi niti niti gbardang, amma kidowe kirumari cas.
But in fact, although it has many parts, there is only 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,”
The eye cannot say to the hand ‘I do not need you,’ nor, again, the head to the feet ‘I do not need you.’
22 Bara abiri kidowo alenge na tidin yenju fo na ni dinin katwa ba, ni di mun kang.
No! Those parts of the body that seem naturally the weaker are indispensable;
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 those parts which we deem less honourable we surround with special honour; and our ungraceful parts receive a special grace which our graceful parts do not require.
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.
Yes, God has so constructed the body — by giving a special honour to the part that lacks it —
25 Ana su nani bara iwa se usalin nmunu nati nan nya kidowe, bara abirie nan mino ati, usu mine so nani urume.
As to secure that there should be no disunion in the body, but that the parts should show the same care for one 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.
If one part suffers, all the others suffer with it, and if one part has honour done it, all the others share its joy.
27 Nengene anung kidowo in Kristiari abiri ngangang kidowo me.
Together you are the Body of Christ, and individually its parts.
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.
In the Church God has appointed, first, Apostles, secondly Preachers, thirdly Teachers; then he has given supernatural powers, then power to cure diseases, aptness for helping others, capacity to govern, varieties of the gift of ‘tongues.’
29 Vat bite anan kadurarie? Vat bite a Pastoarie? Vat bite anan dursuzu niyertearie? Sa vat bite din su nitwa nin likara Kutellẹ?
Can every one be an Apostle? can every one be a Preacher? can every one be a Teacher? can every one have supernatural powers?
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?
Can every one have power to cure diseases? can every one speak in ‘tongues’? can every one interpret them?
31 Na tisu ntok nnizu Kutellẹ ugbardang. Meng ma nin dursu minu libau longo na likati vat nin lau.
Strive for the greater gifts.
