1 Corinthians 12

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

Na mo nga mea wairua, e oku teina, kahore ahau e pai kia kuware koutou.

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

E matau ana koutou, i a koutou e Tauiwi ana, he mea kahaki koutou ki nga whakapakoko reokore, me koutou i kahakina ra.

3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Yeshua is accursed.” No one can say, “Yeshua is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.

Koia ahau ka whakakite nei ki a koutou, e kore tetahi tangata, na te Wairua nei o te Atua ana korero, e ki, He mea kanga a Ihu: e kore ano e taea e tetahi te mea, Ko Ihu te Ariki, ki te kahore te Wairua Tapu.

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

Na, he maha nga wehewehenga o nga mea e homai ana, kotahi ano ia Wairua.

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

A he maha nga wehewehenga o nga minitatanga, kotahi ano ia Ariki.

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

He maha ano hoki nga tu ahua o nga mahi; kotahi ano ia Atua hei mahi i nga mea katoa i roto i te katoa.

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

Otira e homai ana ki tena, ki tena, te whakakitenga a te Wairua hei pai.

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,

E homai ana hoki ki tetahi e te Wairua te kupu whakaaro; ki tetahi atu ko te kupu matau, he mea na taua Wairua ano;

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

Ki tetahi atu ko te whakapono, na taua Wairua ra ano; ki tetahi atu ko nga mana whakaora, na taua Wairua ano:

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.

Ki tetahi atu ko nga mahi merekara; ki tetahi atu ko te mahi poropiti; ki tetahi atu ko te matauranga ki nga wairua; ki tetahi atu ko nga reo huhua; ki tetahi atu ko te whakamaoritanga i nga reo:

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

Na, ko enei mea katoa, he mea mahi na taua Wairua kotahi ra ano, ko ia hei tuwha i tana e pai ai ki tetahi, ki tetahi.

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 Messiah.

Pera hoki i te tinana e kotahi ana, he tini ano ona wahi, a ko nga wahi katoa o taua tinana kotahi, ahakoa tini, kotahi ano tinana; he pera hoki a te Karaiti.

13 For in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

Kotahi nei hoki te Wairua i iriiria ai tatou katoa ki roto ki te tinana kotahi, ahakoa nga Hurai, ahakoa nga Kariki, ahakoa herehere, ahakoa rangatira; kotahi tonu te Wairua i whakainumia mai ai tatou katoa.

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

Ehara hoki te tinana i te wahi kotahi, engari he tini.

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.

Ki te mea te waewae, He teka no te tinana ahau, ehara hoki ahau i te ringa; ehara ma tena e kahore ai ia hei wahi mo te tinana.

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.

Ki te mea te taringa, He teka no te tinana ahau, ehara hoki ahau i te kanohi; ehara ma tena e kahore ai ia hei wahi mo te tinana.

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

Mehemea hoki he kanohi te tinana katoa, kei hea te wahi hei whakarongo? Mehemea he whakarongo ta te katoa, kei hea te wahi hei hongi?

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

Ko tenei, kua oti i te Atua te whakanoho tenei wahi, tenei wahi, ki roto ki te tinana, ana hoki i pai ai.

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

Mehemea hoki kotahi ano wahi ratou katoa, kei hea te tinana?

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

Ko tenei, he tini nga wahi, kotahi ano te tinana.

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.”

E kore hoki te kanohi e ahei te mea ki te ringa, Kahore aku mahi mau: te mahunga ranei ki nga waewae, Kahore aku mahi ma korua.

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

Engari, ko nga wahi o te tinana e kiia ana he ngoikore, nui rawa te mahi ma era;

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,

Ko nga wahi hoki o te tinana e kiia ana e tatou he iti te honore, nui atu te honore e whakataua iho ana e tatou ki era; nui atu hoki te ataahua ki o tatou wahi marutuna;

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

Ko o tatou wahi ataahua ia kahore he aha e meatia ai; heoi he mea huihui marire na te Atua nga wahi o te tinana, he mea whakarite marie, nui atu hoki te honore i hoatu e ia ki te wahi i hapa:

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

Kia kore ai he wehewehenga o te tinana; engari kia kotahi tonu te whakaaro o nga wahi mo tetahi, mo tetahi.

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

A ki te mamae tetahi wahi, mamae tahi ana nga wahi katoa; ki te whakahonoretia tetahi wahi, hari tahi ana nga wahi katoa.

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

Na, ko koutou te tinana o te Karaiti, he wahi ano nona tenei, tenei.

28 God has set some in the assembly: first emissaries, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

A kua whakanohoia e te Atua etahi i roto i te hahi, ko nga apotoro ki mua, tuarua ko nga poropiti, tuatoru ko nga kaiwhakaako, muri iho ko nga merekara, me i reira ko nga mana whakaora, ki nga hoa mahi, ko nga kaiwhakahaere tikanga, ko nga reo h uhua.

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

He apotoro oti katoa? he poropiti oti katoa? he kaiwhakaako katoa? he kaimahi katoa i te merekara?

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

Kei te katoa oti nga mana whakaora? e korero katoa ana oti i nga reo? he kaiwhakamaori anake ranei?

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

Na, whaia nga mea homai papai rawa: tenei ia te ara tino pai rawa, maku e whakaatu ki a koutou.
