1 Corinthians 12
1 Now about “spiritual gifts.” My brothers and sisters, I want to explain this to you.
ᎾᏃ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᎥᏝ ᎾᏂᎦᏔᎲᎾ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᏱᏨᏰᎵᏎᎭ.
2 You know that when you were pagans, you were deceived, being led astray by worshiping idols who couldn't even speak.
ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏥᎦᏔᎾᎥᎾ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ, ᏥᏕᏥᏍᏓᏩᏗᏒᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏅᎨᏫ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏰᎸᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏥᏕᏣᏘᏂᏙᎲᎩ.
3 Let me make it clear to you: no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, “Curse Jesus!” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord!” except by the Holy Spirit.
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏨᏃᎮᎮᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏓᏅᏙ ᏱᎬᏗ ᏱᎦᏬᏂᎭ, ᏥᏌ ᎠᏥᏍᎩᏅᏛᎯ ᎥᏝ ᏰᎵ ᏴᎬᏛ; ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᎩᎶ ᏥᏌ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏴᎬᏛ, ᎬᏂ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᏱᎬᏗᎭ.
4 Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they come from the same Spirit.
ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎠᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᏌᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ.
5 There are different kinds of ministries, but they come from the same Lord.
ᎠᎴ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᏌᏉ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ.
6 There are different ways of working, but they come from the same God, who is at work in all of them.
ᎠᎴ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏗᎬᏩᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎢᎨᎬᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᏌᏉ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎬᏩᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎢᎨᎬᏁᎯ ᎾᏂᎥᎢ.
7 The Spirit is given to each of us and is revealed for the good of all.
ᎬᏂᎨᏒᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎬᏁᎲ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎠᏂᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎨᏥᏁᎭ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎤᏅᏙᏗᏱ.
8 One person is given by the Spirit the ability to speak words of wisdom. Another is given a message of knowledge by the same Spirit.
ᎠᏏᏴᏫᏰᏃ ᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏐ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎠᏏᎾᏍᏛ ᎤᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗᏱ; ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᎠᎦᏔᎾᎢ ᎢᎦᎦᏛ ᎤᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏐᎢ;
9 Another receives the gift of strongly trusting in God by the same Spirit. Another receives gifts of healing from that one Spirit.
ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏐᎢ; ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᎠᏥᏁᎰ ᏧᏓᏅᏬᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏐᎢ;
10 Another is given the ability to perform miracles. Another receives the gift of prophecy. Another is given the gift of spiritual discernment. Another receives the ability to speak different languages, while another is given the gift of interpreting languages.
ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᎤᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱ; ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᎤᏙᎴᎰᎯᏍᏗᏱ; ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᏗᏓᏅᏙ ᏄᎾᏍᏛ ᏧᎪᎵᏰᏗᏱ; ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᎢᎸᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏓᎴᎩ ᏧᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗᏱ; ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏃ ᏧᏁᏢᏙᏗᏱ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏗᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ;
11 But all of these gifts are the work of the one and the same Spirit, sharing with each person as he alone chooses.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᏌᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᏕᎤᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎰᎢ, ᏓᏯᏙᎮᎰ ᎾᏂᎥ ᏧᎾᏁᎳᎩᎭ ᏧᎾᏤᎵ, ᎯᎠᏉ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎡᎵᏍᎬᎢ.
12 Just like the human body is one unit but has many parts—all the parts of the body even though there are many of them, make up one body—so is Christ.
ᎠᏰᎸᏰᏃ ᏌᏉᏉ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏥᏚᏫᏞᏫᏒ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏌᏉ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏚᏫᏞᏫᏒ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᎨᏒ, ᏌᏉᏉ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏥᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏄᏍᏗ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ.
13 For it was through one Spirit that we were all baptized into one body. It doesn't matter whether we are Jews or Greeks, slave or free—we all were given the one Spirit to drink.
ᏌᏉᎯᏰᏃ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ ᏂᏗᎥ ᏤᎦᏬᎥᎯ ᏌᏉ ᎠᏰᎸ ᎢᏰᎬᏁᎸᎯ, ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏗᏧᏏ ᎠᎴ ᏗᎦᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᏱᎩ; ᎾᏍᏉ ᏤᎩᎾᏝᎢ ᎠᎴ ᏤᎩᎾᏝᎢ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏱᎩ; ᎠᎴ ᏂᏗᎥ ᏌᏉᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎢᎦᏗᏔᏍᏗᏱ ᎢᏰᎬᏁᎸᎯ.
14 The body is not made of one part, but many parts.
ᎠᏰᎸᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏌᏉᏉ ᎤᏫᏞᏫᏒ ᏱᎩ, ᎤᏣᏘᏍᎩᏂ ᏚᏫᏞᏫᏒᎢ.
15 If the foot were to say, “Because I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body,” would that make it not part of the body?
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎣᎳᏏᏕᏂ ᎯᎠ ᏱᏄᏪᏒ, ᎠᏴ ᎤᏬᏰᏂ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏯᏆᏘᏝ, ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎪ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏳᏘᏝ?
16 If the ear were to say, “Because I'm not an eye, I'm not part of the body,” would that make it not part of the body?
ᎢᏳ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᎴᏂ ᎯᎠ ᏱᏄᏪᏒ, ᎠᏴ ᎠᎦᏔ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏯᏆᏘᏝ; ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎪ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏳᏘᏝ?
17 If the whole body was an eye, how could you hear anything? If the whole body was an ear, how could you smell anything?
ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎬ ᎠᏰᎸ ᎠᎦᏔ ᏱᎩ, ᎭᏢ ᎠᏛᎪᏙᏗ ᏱᎩ? ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎬ ᎠᏛᎪᏙᏗ ᏱᎩ, ᎭᏢ ᎣᏪᏩᏒᎢᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏱᎩ?
18 But God has arranged each part in the body, every last one of them, placing them just as he wanted.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏚᏫᏞᏫᏒ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏌᏉᎭ ᎨᏒ ᎾᎿᎭᎠᏰᎸ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏰᎸᏅᎢ.
19 If they were all the same part, what would happen to the body?
ᎢᏳᏃ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏌᏉᏉ ᎤᏫᏢ ᏱᎩ, ᎭᏢ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏱᎩ?
20 However, since there are many parts, they make up the body.
ᎤᏣᏘᏍᎩᏂ ᏕᎤᏫᏞᏫᏒ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏌᏉᏉ ᎠᏰᎸᎢ.
21 The eye can't tell the hand, “I don't need you,” or the head tell the feet, “I don't need you.”
ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᏔ ᎥᏝ ᎯᎠ ᎢᎬᏩᏪᏎᏗ ᏱᎩ ᎤᏬᏰᏂ, ᎥᏝ ᏱᎬᏯᏚᎵᎭ; ᎠᎴᏬ ᎠᏍᎪᎵ ᎥᏝ ᎯᎠ ᎢᏗᎬᏩᏪᏎᏗ ᏱᎩ ᏧᎳᏏᏕᏂ, ᎥᏝ ᏱᏗᏍᏛᏯᏑᎵᎭ.
22 Quite the opposite: some of those parts of the body that seem the most insignificant are the most essential.
ᎥᏝ, ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏤᎯ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏗᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᏥᏅᏩᏍᏙᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏟ ᎤᎵᏍᎨᏛ ᎨᏐᎢ.
23 In fact those parts of the body we do not consider to be decent to reveal we “honor” more by covering them up—what is indecent we treat with greater modesty!
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏤᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᏍᎦ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎢᏗᎦᎸᏉᏗ ᎢᎩᏰᎸᏒ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏗᎦᎸᏉᏗ ᏂᏕᏛᏁᎰᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏄᏬᏚᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᏛᏅᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏟ ᎤᏬᏚᎯᏳ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᏍᎪᎢ;
24 What's presentable doesn't need such covering up. God has so arranged the body that more honor is given to the parts that are less presentable.
ᎤᏬᏚᎯᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎦᏛᏅᎢ ᎥᏝ ᏳᏂᎬᎪᎢ; ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏚᏭᏓᏔᏂᏙᎸ ᎠᏰᎸᎢ, ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᏄᏩᏁᎸ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᎡᏍᎦ ᎨᏒᎢ;
25 This is so there wouldn't be any conflict within the body—the different parts should care equally for each other.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᎠᏰᎸ ᎢᎸᎯᏢ ᏧᎦᎴᏅᏛ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᏚᏫᏞᏫᏒ ᏧᎾᏓᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗᏳ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ.
26 So when one part is suffering, all the other parts of the body suffer with it, and when one part is treated well, then all the other parts of the body are happy too!
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏃ ᏌᏉ ᎤᏫᏢ ᏯᎩᎵᏲᎦ, ᏂᎦᏛ ᏚᏫᏢ ᎤᎾᏠᏯᏍᏗᎭ ᎠᏂᎩᎵᏲᎦ; ᎠᎴ ᎢᏳ ᏌᏉ ᎤᏫᏢ ᎦᎸᏉᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᏂᎦᏛ ᏚᏫᏢ ᎤᎾᏠᏯᏍᏗᎭ ᎠᎾᎵᎮᎵᎦ.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one makes up a part of it.
ᏂᎯᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏰᎸᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏚᏫᏞᏫᏒᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎨᏒᎢ.
28 In the church, God has arranged first for some to be apostles, secondly for some to be prophets, thirdly teachers. Then there are those who perform miracles, those with healing gifts, those who can help others, those good at administration, and those who can speak different languages.
ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏕᎤᏪᎧᏅ ᎠᏂᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎾᎿᎭᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬᎢ; ᎢᎬᏱ ᎨᏒ, ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ; ᏔᎵᏁᏃ ᎨᏒ, ᎠᎾᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ; ᏦᎢᏁᏃ ᎨᏒ, ᏗᎾᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ; ᎣᏂᏃ, ᎤᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᏧᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ; ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎨᎦᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᏧᎾᏓᏅᏬᏗᏱ, ᎠᎾᎵᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ, ᏄᏂᎬᏫᏳᏌᏕᎩ, ᎢᎸᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏓᎴᎩ ᏗᏂᏬᏂᏍᎩ.
29 Not everyone is an apostle, or a prophet, or a teacher, or able to perform miracles.
ᏂᎦᏛᏍᎪ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ? ᏂᎦᏛᏍᎪ ᎠᎾᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ? ᏂᎦᏛᏍᎪ ᏗᎾᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ? ᏂᎦᏛᏍᎪ ᎤᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᏧᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ?
30 Not all have healing gifts, or the ability to speak languages, or to interpret languages.
ᏂᎦᏛᏍᎪ ᏧᎾᏓᏅᏬᏗᏱ ᎨᎦᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎯ? ᏂᎦᏛᏍᎪ ᎢᎸᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏓᎴᎩ ᏓᏂᏬᏂᎭ? ᏂᎦᏛᏍᎪ ᎠᎾᏁᏢᏗᎭ?
31 But you should really want to have the most significant gifts. So now I will show you a far better way.
