Ebirabo bya Mwoyo Mutukuvu

12 (A)Abooluganda, ssaagala mmwe obutategeera ebikwata ku birabo ebya Mwoyo. (B)Mumanyi nti bwe mwali Abaamawanga mwabuzibwabuzibwanga ne mutwalibwa eri ebifaananyi ebitayogera. (C)Noolwekyo njagala mutegeere nti tewali muntu aba ne Mwoyo wa Katonda n’ayogera nti, “Yesu akolimirwe.” Era tewali n’omu asobola okwogera nti, “Yesu ye Mukama waffe,” wabula ku bwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu.

(D)Waliwo ebirabo bya ngeri nnyingi, naye Mwoyo abigaba y’omu. Waliwo engeri nnyingi ez’okuweererezaamu, naye Mukama aweerezebwa y’omu. (E)Waliwo okukola kwa ngeri nnyingi kyokka Katonda asobozesa bonna mu byonna bye bakola y’omu.

(F)Mwoyo Mutukuvu yeeragira mu buli omu olw’okugasa bonna. (G)Omu Omwoyo amuwa okwogera ekigambo eky’amagezi, omulala Omwoyo oyo omu n’amuwa okuyiga n’ategeera. (H)Omulala Omwoyo y’omu n’amuwa okukkiriza, n’omulala n’amuwa obuyinza okuwonyanga abalwadde. 10 (I)Omu, Omwoyo amuwa okukolanga ebyamagero, n’omulala n’amuwa okwogera eby’obunnabbi, ate omulala n’amuwa okwawulanga emyoyo emirungi n’emibi. Omulala amuwa okwogera ennimi ezitali zimu, n’omulala n’amuwa okuzivvuunula. 11 (J)Naye Omwoyo akola ebyo byonna y’omu, y’agabira buli muntu ng’Omwoyo oyo bw’ayagala.

Omubiri guli gumu naye ebitundu byagwo bingi

12 (K)Kuba omubiri nga bwe guli ogumu, ne guba n’ebitundu bingi, ate ebitundu byonna ne byegatta ne biba omubiri gumu, kale, ne Kristo bw’ali bw’atyo. 13 (L)Bwe tutyo ffenna twabatizibwa mu Mwoyo omu, ne tufuuka omubiri gumu, oba Bayudaaya, oba baamawanga, oba baddu, oba ba ddembe, era ne tunywa ku Mwoyo oyo omu.

14 Kubanga omubiri tegulina kitundu kimu, naye gulina ebitundu bingi. 15 Singa ekigere kigamba nti, “Nze siri mukono, noolwekyo siri kitundu kya mubiri,” ekyo tekikifuula butaba kitundu kya mubiri. 16 Era singa okutu kugamba nti, “Siri liiso, noolwekyo siri kitundu kya mubiri,” ekyo kikiggyako okubeera ekitundu ky’omubiri? 17 Kale singa omubiri gwonna gwali liiso, olwo okuwulira kwandibadde wa? Era singa omubiri gwonna gwali kutu, olwo okuwunyiriza kwandibadde wa? 18 (M)Naye kaakano Katonda yakola ebitundu bingi eby’enjawulo n’alyoka abifuula omubiri gwaffe nga bwe yayagala. 19 Singa byonna byali ekitundu kimu olwo omubiri gwandibadde wa? 20 (N)Naye kaakano ebitundu bingi naye ng’omubiri guli gumu.

21 Eriiso terisobola kugamba mukono nti, “Ggwe sikwetaaga,” oba n’omutwe teguyinza kugamba bigere nti, “Mmwe sibeetaaga.” 22 Era ebitundu ebyo eby’omubiri ebirabika ng’ebisinga obunafu bye byetaagibwa ennyo. 23 Era n’ebitundu ebyo eby’omubiri bye tulowooza obutaba bya kitiibwa bye bisinga okwambazibwa, n’ebitundu ebitukwasa ensonyi bye tusinga okulabirira, 24 so ng’ebitundu byaffe ebisinga okwolekebwa mu bantu tebikyetaaga. Bw’atyo Katonda bwe yakola omubiri, ebitundu ebyandibadde biragajjalirwa n’abyongera ekitiibwa, 25 olwo omubiri ne guteeyawulamu naye ebitundu byonna, ne biyambagana byokka ne byokka. 26 Ekitundu ekimu bwe kirumwa, ebitundu ebirala byonna birumirwa. Era ekitundu ekimu bwe kigulumizibwa, ebitundu byonna bijaguliza wamu nakyo.

27 (O)Kale mwenna awamu muli mubiri gwa Kristo, era buli omu ku mmwe kitundu kyagwo. 28 (P)Era abamu Katonda yabateekawo mu kkanisa: abasooka be batume, abookubiri be bannabbi, n’abookusatu be bayigiriza, ne kuddako abakola eby’amagero, ne kuddako abalina ebirabo eby’okuwonya endwadde, n’okuyamba abali mu kwetaaga, abakulembeze, era n’aboogezi b’ennimi. 29 Bonna batume? Bonna bannabbi? Bonna bayigiriza? Bonna bakola ebyamagero? 30 (Q)Bonna balina ekirabo ky’okuwonya endwadde? Bonna boogera mu nnimi? Bonna bavvuunula ennimi? 31 (R)Kale mwegombenga ebirabo ebisinga obukulu, naye ka mbalage ekkubo eddungi erisinga gonna.

Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity

12 Now (A)concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know (B)that[a] you were Gentiles, carried away to these (C)dumb[b] idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus [c]accursed, and (D)no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

(E)There are [d]diversities of gifts, but (F)the same Spirit. (G)There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God (H)who works [e]all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given (I)the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another (J)the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, (K)to another faith by the same Spirit, to another (L)gifts of healings by [f]the same Spirit, 10 (M)to another the working of miracles, to another (N)prophecy, to another (O)discerning of spirits, to another (P)different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, (Q)distributing to each one individually (R)as He wills.

Unity and Diversity in One Body(S)

12 For (T)as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, (U)so also is Christ. 13 For (V)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—(W)whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and (X)have all been made to drink [g]into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.

15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now (Y)God has set the members, each one of them, in the body (Z)just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?

20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no [h]schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now (AA)you are the body of Christ, and (AB)members individually. 28 And (AC)God has appointed these in the church: first (AD)apostles, second (AE)prophets, third teachers, after that (AF)miracles, then (AG)gifts of healings, (AH)helps, (AI)administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But (AJ)earnestly desire the [i]best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

12 Pour ce qui concerne les dons spirituels, je ne veux pas, frères, que vous soyez dans l'ignorance.

Vous savez que, lorsque vous étiez païens, vous vous laissiez entraîner vers les idoles muettes, selon que vous étiez conduits.

C'est pourquoi je vous déclare que nul, s'il parle par l'Esprit de Dieu, ne dit: Jésus est anathème! et que nul ne peut dire: Jésus est le Seigneur! si ce n'est par le Saint Esprit.

Il y a diversité de dons, mais le même Esprit;

diversité de ministères, mais le même Seigneur;

diversité d'opérations, mais le même Dieu qui opère tout en tous.

Or, à chacun la manifestation de l'Esprit est donnée pour l'utilité commune.

En effet, à l'un est donnée par l'Esprit une parole de sagesse; à un autre, une parole de connaissance, selon le même Esprit;

à un autre, la foi, par le même Esprit; à un autre, le don des guérisons, par le même Esprit;

10 à un autre, le don d'opérer des miracles; à un autre, la prophétie; à un autre, le discernement des esprits; à un autre, la diversité des langues; à un autre, l'interprétation des langues.

11 Un seul et même Esprit opère toutes ces choses, les distribuant à chacun en particulier comme il veut.

12 Car, comme le corps est un et a plusieurs membres, et comme tous les membres du corps, malgré leur nombre, ne forment qu'un seul corps, ainsi en est-il de Christ.

13 Nous avons tous, en effet, été baptisés dans un seul Esprit, pour former un seul corps, soit Juifs, soit Grecs, soit esclaves, soit libres, et nous avons tous été abreuvés d'un seul Esprit.

14 Ainsi le corps n'est pas un seul membre, mais il est formé de plusieurs membres.

15 Si le pied disait: Parce que je ne suis pas une main, je ne suis pas du corps-ne serait-il pas du corps pour cela?

16 Et si l'oreille disait: Parce que je ne suis pas un oeil, je ne suis pas du corps, -ne serait-elle pas du corps pour cela?

17 Si tout le corps était oeil, où serait l'ouïe? S'il était tout ouïe, où serait l'odorat?

18 Maintenant Dieu a placé chacun des membres dans le corps comme il a voulu.

19 Si tous étaient un seul membre, où serait le corps?

20 Maintenant donc il y a plusieurs membres, et un seul corps.

21 L'oeil ne peut pas dire à la main: Je n'ai pas besoin de toi; ni la tête dire aux pieds: Je n'ai pas besoin de vous.

22 Mais bien plutôt, les membres du corps qui paraissent être les plus faibles sont nécessaires;

23 et ceux que nous estimons être les moins honorables du corps, nous les entourons d'un plus grand honneur. Ainsi nos membres les moins honnêtes reçoivent le plus d'honneur,

24 tandis que ceux qui sont honnêtes n'en ont pas besoin. Dieu a disposé le corps de manière à donner plus d'honneur à ce qui en manquait,

25 afin qu'il n'y ait pas de division dans le corps, mais que les membres aient également soin les uns des autres.

26 Et si un membre souffre, tous les membres souffrent avec lui; si un membre est honoré, tous les membres se réjouissent avec lui.

27 Vous êtes le corps de Christ, et vous êtes ses membres, chacun pour sa part.

28 Et Dieu a établi dans l'Église premièrement des apôtres, secondement des prophètes, troisièmement des docteurs, ensuite ceux qui ont le don des miracles, puis ceux qui ont les dons de guérir, de secourir, de gouverner, de parler diverses langues.

29 Tous sont-ils apôtres? Tous sont-ils prophètes? Tous sont-ils docteurs?

30 Tous ont-ils le don des miracles? Tous ont-ils le don des guérisons? Tous parlent-ils en langues? Tous interprètent-ils?

31 Aspirez aux dons les meilleurs. Et je vais encore vous montrer une voie par excellence.

Concerning Spiritual Gifts

12 Now about the gifts of the Spirit,(A) brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.(B) You know that when you were pagans,(C) somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.(D) Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”(E) and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”(F) except by the Holy Spirit.(G)

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(H) distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone(I) it is the same God(J) at work.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.(K) To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,(L) to another a message of knowledge(M) by means of the same Spirit, to another faith(N) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing(O) by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,(P) to another prophecy,(Q) to another distinguishing between spirits,(R) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a](S) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(T) and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

Unity and Diversity in the Body

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body,(U) so it is with Christ.(V) 13 For we were all baptized(W) by[c] one Spirit(X) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(Y)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(Z) 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.(AA)

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed(AB) the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.(AC) 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.(AD)

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ,(AE) and each one of you is a part of it.(AF) 28 And God has placed in the church(AG) first of all apostles,(AH) second prophets,(AI) third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing,(AJ) of helping, of guidance,(AK) and of different kinds of tongues.(AL) 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[d]?(AM) Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire(AN) the greater gifts.

Love Is Indispensable

And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
