1Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi foaki fakalaumālie, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ke mou taʻeʻilo.
1Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2ʻOku mou ʻilo naʻa mou nofo ko e ngaahi Senitaile, naʻe ʻāvea ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi tamapua noa, ʻo hangē ko hono taki ʻakimoutolu.
2You know that when you were pagans, you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku lea ʻi he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ʻe pehē ʻe ia, ko e malaʻia ʻa Sisu: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa pehē, ko e ʻEiki ʻa Sisu, ka ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
3Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
4Pea ko eni, ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi foaki kehekehe, ka ko e Laumālie pe taha.
4There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.
5Pea ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi tauhi kehekehe, ka ko e ʻEiki pe taha.
5There are different ministries, but the same Lord.
6Pea ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi ngāue kehekehe, ka ko e ʻOtua pe taha ʻoku fai kotoa pē ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
6There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.
7Ka kuo foaki ʻae fakahā ʻoe Laumālie ki he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ke feʻaongaʻaki.
7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8He kuo foaki ki he tokotaha ʻi he Laumālie ʻae lea ʻoe poto; ki he tokotaha ʻae lea ʻoe ʻilo ʻi he Laumālie ko ia;
8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,
9Ki he tokotaha ʻae tui ʻi he Laumālie ko ia; ki he tokotaha ʻae foaki ʻoe fakamoʻui ʻi he Laumālie ko ia;
9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10Ki he tokotaha ʻae fai ʻoe ngaahi mana; ki he tokotaha ʻae kikite; ki he tokotaha ʻae ʻilo ki he ngaahi laumālie; ki he tokotaha ʻae lea kehekehe; ki he tokotaha hono fakamatala ʻoe ngaahi lea:
10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11Ka ʻoku langaʻi eni kotoa pē ʻe he Laumālie pe taha ko ia, ʻo vahevahe taki taha ki he tangata kotoa pē ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe.
11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.
12He ʻoku hangē ʻoku taha pe ʻae sino, ka ʻoku lahi hono ngaahi kupu, pea ko e ngaahi kupu kotoa pē ʻoe sino pe taha ko ia ʻoku lahi, ka ko e sino pe taha ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻa Kalaisi.
12The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.
13He kuo tau papitaiso kotoa pē ʻi he Laumālie pe taha ki he sino pe taha, pe ko ha kakai Siu pe ko ha kakai Senitaile, ko ha pōpula pe ha tauʻatāina; pea naʻe fakainu ʻakitautolu kotoa pē ki he Laumālie pe taha.
13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.
14He ʻoku ʻikai ko e kupu pe taha ʻae sino, ka ʻoku lahi.
14For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.
15Kapau ʻe lea ʻae vaʻe, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ko e nima au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe sino au;” pea ʻoku ʻikai ai ʻi he sino ia?
15If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
16Pea kapau ʻe lea ʻae telinga, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ko e mata au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe sino au;” pea ʻoku ʻikai ai ʻi he sino ia?
16And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
17Ka ne ko e mata ʻae sino kotoa, pea ʻe ʻi fē ʻae fanongo? Pea ka ne ko e fanongo ʻae kupu kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻi fē ʻae nanamu?
17If 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?
18Ka ko eni, kuo fakahoko ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kupu taki taha kotoa pē ʻi he sino, ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe ia.
18But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.
19Pea ka ne ko e kupu pe taha ʻaia kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻi fē ʻae sino?
19If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20Ka ko eni, ko e ngaahi kupu ʻoku lahi ka ko e sino pe taha.
20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21Pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lea ʻae mata ki he nima, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻaonga kiate au:” pea pehē ʻe he ʻulu ki he vaʻe, “ʻOku ʻikai te mo ʻaonga kiate au.”
21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”
22ʻIkai, ka ko e ngaahi kupu ko ia ʻoe sino, ʻaia ʻoku matamatavaivai, ʻoku lahi hake hono ʻaonga:
22On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23Pea ko e ngaahi kupu ko ia ʻoe sino, ʻoku tau mahalo ki ai ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻenau matamatalelei, ʻoku tau tokanga lahi ʻaupito ki ai; pea ko hotau ngaahi potu taʻematamatalelei ʻoku ai hono matamatalelei lahi hake ʻaupito.
23and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
24He ko hotau ngaahi potu matamatalelei, ʻoku ʻikai hanau masiva: ka kuo fakatatau fakataha ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae sino, ʻo ne foaki ʻae matamatalelei lahi hake ʻaupito ki he potu ko ia ʻoku masiva:
24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha mavahevahe ʻi he sino; ka koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻae fetokangaʻaki pe ʻe he ngaahi kupu kotoa pe.
25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.
26Pea kapau ʻe mamahi ʻae kupu ʻe taha, ʻoku mamahi mo ia ʻae ngaahi kupu kotoa pē; pea ka fakahikihiki ʻae kupu ʻe taha, ʻoku fiefia mo ia ʻae kupu kotoa pē.
26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27Pea ko eni, ko e sino ʻo Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, pea ko e ngaahi kupu taki taha.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.
28Pea kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae niʻihi ʻi he siasi, ko e ʻuluaki ko e kau ʻaposetolo, ko hono ua ko e kau palōfita, ko hono tolu ko e kau akonaki, hoko mo ia ʻae kau fai meʻa mana, hoko mo e ngaahi foaki ʻoe fakamoʻui, mo e kau tokoni, mo e kau enginaki, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻilo ʻae lea kehekehe.
28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.
29He ko e ʻaposetolo kotoa pē? He ko e palōfita kotoa pē? He ko e akonaki kotoa pē? He ko e kau fai meʻa mana kotoa pē?
29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30ʻOku maʻu kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi foaki ʻoe fakamoʻui? ʻOku lea kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea kehekehe? ʻOku fakamatala lea kotoa pē?
30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
31Ke mou holi lahi ki he ngaahi foaki fungani lelei. Pea ʻoku ou toe fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae hala ʻoku lelei lahi.
31But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.
