12:1
Περὶ δὲ τῶν πνευματικῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ θέλω ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν.
De spiritualibus autem, nolo vos ignorare fratres.
ወበእንተሂ ዘመንፈስ ቅዱስ ኢንፈቅድ አኀዊነ ትኩኑ አብዳነ አላ ታእምሩ።
Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.
12:2
οἴδατε ὅτι ὅτε ἔθνη ἦτε πρὸς τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ ἄφωνα ὡς ἂν ἤγεσθε ἀπαγόμενοι.
Scitis quoniam cum gentes essetis, ad simulacra muta prout ducebamini euntes.
ትካትኒ እንዘ አረሚ አንትሙ ተአምሩ ከመ አማልክተ በሃማነ ታመልኩ ወአጣዖክሙ ወተፃእፃእክሙ ወተሐወሩ ኀበ ወሰዱክሙ።
You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
12:3
διὸ γνωρίζω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἐν πνεύματι θεοῦ λαλῶν λέγει, ἀνάθεμα Ἰησοῦς, καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται εἰπεῖν, κύριος Ἰησοῦς, εἰ μὴ ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
Ideo notum vobis facio, quod nemo in Spiritu Dei loquens, dicit anathema Jesu. Et nemo potest dicere, Dominus Jesus, nisi in Spiritu Sancto.
ወበእንተዝ እሜህረክሙ ከመ አልቦ ዘይነብብ በመንፈሰ እግዚአብሔር ወይብል ውጉዝ ኢየሱስ ወአልቦ ዘይክል ብሂለ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ዘእንበለ ዘመንፈስ ቅዱስ ላዕሌሁ።
Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.
12:4
Διαιρέσεις δὲ χαρισμάτων εἰσίν, τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα·
Divisiones vero gratiarum sunt, idem autem Spiritus :
ወመክፈልታተ ሱታፌ ሀብት ህልው እንዘ አሐዱ መንፈስ።
Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
12:5
καὶ διαιρέσεις διακονιῶν εἰσιν, καὶ ὁ αὐτὸς κύριος·
et divisiones ministrationum sunt, idem autem Dominus :
ወመክፈልታተ ምግባር ህልው እንዘ አሐዱ እግዚአብሔር።
There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
12:6
καὶ διαιρέσεις ἐνεργημάτων εἰσίν, ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς θεός, ὁ ἐνεργῶν τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν.
et divisiones operationum sunt, idem vero Deus qui operatur omnia in omnibus.
ወመክፈልታተ ኀይል ህልው እንዘ አሐዱ እግዚአብሔር ዘይገብር ኵሎ ውስተ ኵሉ።
There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all.
12:7
ἑκάστῳ δὲ δίδοται ἡ φανέρωσις τοῦ πνεύματος πρὸς τὸ συμφέρον.
Unicuique autem datur manifestatio Spiritus ad utilitatem.
እስመ ለለአሐዱ ዘዘዚኣሁ ጸጋሁ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ወለኵሉ በበ መክፈልቱ እንዘ እግዚእ ይረድእ።
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
12:8
ᾧ μὲν γὰρ διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος δίδοται λόγος σοφίας, ἄλλῳ δὲ λόγος γνώσεως κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα,
Alii quidem per Spiritum datur sermo sapientiae : alii autem sermo scientiae secundum eumdem Spiritum :
ወለለ አሐዱ ይሁቦ ገሃደ በከመ ይደልዎ ወይበቍዖ ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ ቃለ ጥበብ ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ ቃለ አእምሮ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ።
For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
12:9
ἑτέρῳ πίστις ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ πνεύματι, ἄλλῳ δὲ χαρίσματα ἰαμάτων ἐν τῷ ἑνὶ πνεύματι,
alteri fides in eodem Spiritu : alii gratia sanitatum in uno Spiritu :
ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ ሃይማኖተ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ ፈውሰ ወአሕይዎ።
to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
12:10
ἄλλῳ δὲ ἐνεργήματα δυνάμεων, ἄλλῳ δὲ προφητεία, ἄλλῳ δὲ διάκρισις πνευμάτων, ἑτέρῳ γένη γλωσσῶν, ἄλλῳ δὲ ἑρμηνεία γλωσσῶν·
alii operatio virtutum, alii prophetia, alii discretio spirituum, alii genera linguarum, alii interpretatio sermonum.
ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ አሶተ ዘይስዕር መናፍስተ ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ ምግባረ ረድኤት ወኀይል ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ ተነብዮ ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ፍካሬ ያእምር ወቦ ለዘይሁቦ ያእምር ፍካሬ ዘነገረ በሐውርት።
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.
12:11
πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἐνεργεῖ τὸ ἓν καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα, διαιροῦν ἰδίᾳ ἑκάστῳ καθὼς βούλεται.
Haec autem omnia operatur unus atque idem Spiritus, dividens singulis prout vult.
ወለኵሉ ዝንቱ አሐዱ ውእቱ መንፈስ ቅዱስ ዘይረድኦሙ ለኵሎሙ ወባሕቱ ለኵሎሙ ይከፍሎሙ በከመ ፈቀደ።
But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
12:12
Καθάπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα ἕν ἐστιν καὶ μέλη πολλὰ ἔχει, πάντα δὲ τὰ μέλη τοῦ σώματος πολλὰ ὄντα ἕν ἐστιν σῶμα, οὕτως καὶ ὁ Χριστός·
Sicut enim corpus unum est, et membra habet multa, omnia autem membra corporis cum sint multa, unum tamen corpus sunt : ita et Christus.
ወበከመ አሐዱ ሥጋነ ብዙኅ መለያልይ ብነ እንዘ አሐዱ ሥጋነ ከማሁ ክርስቶስኒ።
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 Christ.
12:13
καὶ γὰρ ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι ἡμεῖς πάντες εἰς ἓν σῶμα ἐβαπτίσθημεν, εἴτε Ἰουδαῖοι εἴτε Ἕλληνες, εἴτε δοῦλοι εἴτε ἐλεύθεροι, καὶ πάντες ἓν πνεῦμα ἐποτίσθημεν.
Etenim in uno Spiritu omnes nos in unum corpus baptizati sumus, sive Judaei, sive gentiles, sive servi, sive liberi : et omnes in uno Spiritu potati sumus.
ወንሕነ በአሐዱ መንፈስ ወበአሐዱ ሥጋ ተጠመቅነ ኵልነ እለሂ እምአይሁድ ወእለሂ እምአረሚ ወእመኒ ነባሪ ወእመኒ አግዓዚ እስመ ኵልነ አሐደ መንፈሰ ሰተይነ።
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
12:14
καὶ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα οὐκ ἔστιν ἓν μέλος ἀλλὰ πολλά.
Nam et corpus non est unum membrum, sed multa.
ወለሥጋነሂ ብዙኅ መለያልዩ ወአኮ አሐዱ።
For the body is not one member, but many.
12:15
ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ πούς, ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ χείρ, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος·
Si dixerit pes : Quoniam non sum manus, non sum de corpore : num ideo non est de corpore ?
እመኒ ትቤ እግር አንሰ ኢኮንኩ እደ ወኢኮንኩ እምውስተ ነፍስት አኮ ዘንተ ብሂላ ዘኢትከውን እምውስተ ነፍስት።
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.
12:16
καὶ ἐὰν εἴπῃ τὸ οὖς, ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὀφθαλμός, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος·
Et si dixerit auris : Quoniam non sum oculus, non sum de corpore : num ideo est de corpore ?
ወእመኒ ትቤ እዝን አንሰ ኢኮንኩ ዐይነ ወኢኮንኩ እምውስተ ነፍስት አኮ ዘንተ ብሂላ ዘኢትከውን እምነፍስት።
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.
12:17
εἰ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα ὀφθαλμός, ποῦ ἡ ἀκοή; εἰ ὅλον ἀκοή, ποῦ ἡ ὄσφρησις;
Si totum corpus oculus : ubi auditus ? Si totum auditus : ubi odoratus ?
ወእመሰ ኵሉ ነፍስትነ ዐይን ውእቱ አይቴ እምኮነ እዝን ወእመሰ ኵሉ ነፍስትነ እዝን አይቴ እምኮነ አፍ ወአንፍ።
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
12:18
νυνὶ δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἔθετο τὰ μέλη, ἓν ἕκαστον αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ σώματι καθὼς ἠθέλησεν.
Nunc autem posuit Deus membra, unumquodque eorum in corpore sicut voluit.
ወይእዜኒ አስተናበሮ እግዚአብሔር ወሠርዖ ለመለያልይነ ዘዘዚኣሁ በውስተ ነፍስትነ በከመ ውእቱ ፈቀደ።
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
12:19
εἰ δὲ ἦν τὰ πάντα ἓν μέλος, ποῦ τὸ σῶμα;
Quod si essent omnia unum membrum, ubi corpus ?
ወእመሰ ኵሉ መሌሊት አሐዱ አይቴ እምኮነ ነፍስት።
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
12:20
νῦν δὲ πολλὰ μὲν μέλη, ἓν δὲ σῶμα.
Nunc autem multa quidem membra, unum autem corpus.
ወይእዜኒ መሌሊቱ ብዙኅ ወነፍስቱ አሐዱ።
But now they are many members, but one body.
12:21
οὐ δύναται δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς εἰπεῖν τῇ χειρί, χρείαν σου οὐκ ἔχω, ἢ πάλιν ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῖς ποσίν, χρείαν ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔχω·
Non potest autem oculus dicere manui : Opera tua non indigeo : aut iterum caput pedibus : Non estis mihi necessarii.
ወኢትክል ዐይን ትበላ ለእድ ኢይፈቅደኪ ወካዕበ ኢትክል ርእስ ትበሎሙ ለኵሎሙ ኢይፈቅደክሙ።
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.”
12:22
ἀλλὰ πολλῷ μᾶλλον τὰ δοκοῦντα μέλη τοῦ σώματος ἀσθενέστερα ὑπάρχειν ἀναγκαῖά ἐστιν,
Sed multo magis quae videntur membra corporis infirmiora esse, necessariora sunt :
ወብከ መሌሊት ዝኩ ዘታስተሐቅሮ ፈድፋደ መፍቅድከ።
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
12:23
καὶ ἃ δοκοῦμεν ἀτιμότερα εἶναι τοῦ σώματος, τούτοις τιμὴν περισσοτέραν περιτίθεμεν, καὶ τὰ ἀσχήμονα ἡμῶν εὐσχημοσύνην περισσοτέραν ἔχει,
et quae putamus ignobiliora membra esse corporis, his honorem abundantiorem circumdamus : et quae inhonesta sunt nostra, abundantiorem honestatem habent.
ወዝኩ ዘታንእሶ ያፈድፍድ ለከ ክብረ።
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,
12:24
τὰ δὲ εὐσχήμονα ἡμῶν οὐ χρείαν ἔχει. ἀλλὰ ὁ θεὸς συνεκέρασεν τὸ σῶμα, τῷ ὑστερουμένῳ περισσοτέραν δοὺς τιμήν,
Honesta autem nostra nullius egent : sed Deus temperavit corpus, ei cui deerat, abundantiorem tribuendo honorem,
ወቶስሖ እግዚአብሔር ለነፍስትነ ወአክበሮ ፈድፋደ ለመሌሊት ንኡስ።
while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
12:25
ἵνα μὴ ᾖ σχίσματα ἐν τῷ σώματι, ἀλλὰ τὸ αὐτὸ ὑπὲρ ἀλλήλων μεριμνῶσιν τὰ μέλη.
ut non sit schisma in corpore, sed idipsum pro invicem sollicita sint membra.
ከመ ኢይትአበዩ በበይናቲሆሙ መለያልይነ ከመ ይዕሪ ክብረ ወከመሰ ኢይትአበይ አባልነ።
that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
12:26
καὶ εἴτε πάσχει ἓν μέλος, συνπάσχει πάντα τὰ μέλη· εἴτε δοξάζεται μέλος, συνχαίρει πάντα τὰ μέλη.
Et si quid patitur unum membrum, compatiuntur omnia membra : sive gloriatur unum membrum, congaudent omnia membra.
ለእመ አሐዱ አባል ሐመ የሐምም ምስሌሁ ኵሉ ነፍስትነ ወእመኒ ተፈሥሐ አሐዱ አባል ይትፌሣሕ ምስሌሁ ኵሉ ነፍስትነ።
When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
12:27
ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε σῶμα Χριστοῦ καὶ μέλη ἐκ μέρους.
Vos autem estis corpus Christi, et membra de membro.
አንትሙኬ ሥጋሁ ለክርስቶስ ወአባሉ በበ መክፈልትክሙ።
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
12:28
καὶ οὓς μὲν ἔθετο ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ πρῶτον ἀποστόλους, δεύτερον προφήτας, τρίτον διδασκάλους, ἔπειτα δυνάμεις, ἔπειτα χαρίσματα ἰαμάτων, ἀντιλήμψεις, κυβερνήσεις, γένη γλωσσῶν.
Et quosdam quidem posuit Deus in ecclesia primum apostolos, secundo prophetas, exinde doctores, deinde virtutes, exinde gratias curationum, opitulationes, gubernationes, genera linguarum, interpretationes sermonum.
ወእለሰ ሤሞሙ እግዚአብሔር ለቤተ ክርስቲያን ቀዳሚ ሐዋርያተ ወዳግመ ነቢያተ ወሣልሰ መምህራነ ወእምዝ ዘትእምርት ወኀይል ወእምዝ ዘአሶት ወዘረድኤት ወአምህርት ወዘነገረ በሐውርት።
God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
12:29
μὴ πάντες ἀπόστολοι; μὴ πάντες προφῆται; μὴ πάντες διδάσκαλοι; μὴ πάντες δυνάμεις;
Numquid omnes apostoli ? numquid omnes prophetae ? numquid omnes doctores ?
ቦኑ ይከውኑ ኵሎሙ ሐዋርያተ ወቦኑ ኵሎሙ ነቢያተ ወቦኑ ኵሎሙ መምህራነ ወቦኑ ለኵሉ ኀይለ ትእምርት።
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
12:30
μὴ πάντες χαρίσματα ἔχουσιν ἰαμάτων; μὴ πάντες γλώσσαις λαλοῦσιν; μὴ πάντες διερμηνεύουσιν;
numquid omnes virtutes ? numquid omnes gratiam habent curationum ? numquid omnes linguis loquuntur ? numquid omnes interpretantur ?
ወዘአኮ ለኵሉ ጸጋ አሶት ወቦኑ ኵሎሙ በነገረ በሐውርት ይነብቡ ወቦኑ ኵሎሙ መምህራን ወቦኑ ኵሎሙ መፈክራን።
Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?
12:31
ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ χαρίσματα τὰ μείζονα. καὶ ἔτι καθ’ ὑπερβολὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῖν δείκνυμι.
Aemulamini autem charismata meliora. Et adhuc excellentiorem viam vobis demonstro.
ቅንኡ ለእንተ ተዐቢ ጸጋ ወዓዲ እንተ ትኄይስ ፍኖተ እሜህረክሙ።
But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
