1 Corinthians 12
1 But, concerning the spiritually gifted, brethren, I am not wishing you to be ignorant.
Me nuanom, mempɛ sɛ morenhu nsɛm a ɛfa Honhom Kronkron akyɛde no ho no.
2 Ye know that, when ye were of the nations, unto the dumb idols, howsoever ye were being led, ye were seduced.
Munim sɛ bere a na moyɛ abosonsomfo no, moyeraa kwan kɔɔ ahoni a awuwu no nkyɛn.
3 Wherefore, I give you to know—that, no one, in God’s Spirit speaking, saith—Accursed Jesus! and, no one, can say—Lord Jesus! save in [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 But, distributions of gifts, there are, yet the same Spirit,
Akyɛde no gu ahorow nanso Honhom koro no ara na ɛkyekyɛ.
5 And, distributions of ministries, there are, and the same Lord,
Akwan ahorow bebree wɔ hɔ a wɔfa so som nanso Awurade koro no ara na wɔsom no.
6 And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God—who energiseth 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, unto each one, is given the manifesting of the Spirit, with a view to that which is profitable;
Honhom Kronkron no nam yɛn mmaako mmaako so da ne ho adi wɔ akwan bi so ma ɛboa yɛn nyinaa.
8 For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; —
Honhom Kronkron no ma obi nyansa na Honhom Kronkron no ara nso ama obi osuahu.
9 Unto a different one, faith, in the same Spirit, and, unto another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit,
Saa Honhom Kronkron no ara ma obi gyidi na ɔma obi nso tumi a ɔde sa nyarewa.
10 And, unto another, energies of mighty works, [and], unto another, prophesying, [and], unto another, discriminations of spirits, —unto a different one, kinds of tongues, and, unto another, translation of tongues; —
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, all these, energiseth the one and the same Spirit, distributing unto each one, peculiarly, even as it is disposed.
Ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron koro no ara na ɔyɛ eyinom nyinaa; akyɛde ahorow a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde ma obiara no, ɔde ma no.
12 For, just as, the body, is one, and yet hath many members, but, all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so, also, the 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, even to one Spirit, we all, into one body, have been immersed, —whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, —and, all, of one Spirit, have been caused to drink.
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 also, is not one member, but many:
Onipadua no ankasa nyɛ akwaa baako; ɛyɛ akwaa bebree.
15 Though the foot should say—Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, 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 And, though the ear should say—Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, 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 were the hearing? If, the whole were, hearing, where were, the smelling?
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, hath God set the members, each one of them in the body, even as he pleased.
Sɛnea Onyankopɔn pɛ no no na ɔde akwaa biara sii.
19 But, if they all had been one member, Where had been, the body?
Sɛ nipadua no nyinaa yɛ akwaa koro a, anka nipadua no bɛyɛ dɛn?
20 Now, however there are many members, yet one body;
Sɛnea ɛte no, akwaa gu ahorow, nanso nipadua no yɛ baako pɛ.
21 [And] the eye cannot say unto the hand—I have no need of thee, —nor, again, the head, unto the feet—I have no need of 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 Nay! much more, the members 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 And, the parts of the body which we deem to be less honourable, on these, more abundant honour, do we bestow, and, our uncomely parts, have, more abundant comeliness,
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 Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together, —unto that which was lacking, giving more abundant honour; —
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 might be no division in the body, but that the members might have, the same, care, one for another;
Enti nkyekyɛmu biara nni nipadua no mu. Akwaa no nyinaa keka wɔn ho wɔn ho bɔ mu.
26 And, whether one member, suffereth, all the members, suffer with it, or, a member is glorified, all the members, rejoice together.
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, ye, are the body of Christ, and members severally; —
Enti mo nyinaa moyɛ Kristo nipadua. Na mo mu biara yɛ nʼakwaa.
28 And God hath, indeed, set, certain, in the assembly, —first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that mighty works, then gifts of healings, helps, guidings, kinds of tongues.
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 mighty works?
Wɔn nyinaa nyɛ asomafo anaa adiyifo anaa akyerɛkyerɛfo. Ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔwɔ tumi a wɔde yɛ anwonwade
30 Have, all, gifts of healings? Do, all, with tongues, speak? Do, all, translate?
anaa wɔsa nyarewa, anaa wɔka kasa foforo anaa wɔkyerɛ nea wɔka no ase.
31 Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out: —
Monhwehwɛ akyɛde a ɛbɛboa mo yiye akyi kwan. Mɛkyerɛ mo ɔkwan foforo a eye pa ara.
