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

¹[Ny amin'ny fanomezam-pahasoavana samy hafa] Ary ny amin'ny zava-panahy, ry rahalahy, dia tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo.

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

²Fantatrareo fa fony jentilisa ianareo, dia nentina tany amin'ny sampy moana araka izay nitaomana anareo.

³Therefore 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.

³Koa mampahafantatra anareo aho fa tsy misy olona ampitenenin'ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra ka manao hoe: Voaozona Jesosy; ary tsy misy mahay manaiky hoe: Jesosy no Tompo, raha tsy amin'ny Fanahy Masina. [ Gr. anatema]

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

⁴Zarazaraina ho samy hafa ny fanomezam-pahasoavana, nefa ny Fanahy dia iray ihany.

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

⁵Ary zarazaraina ho samy hafa ny fanompoana, nefa ny Tompo dia iray ihany.

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

⁶Ary zarazaraina ho samy hafa ny asa, nefa Andriamanitra dia iray ihany, Izay miasa ny zavatra rehetra amin'ny olona rehetra.

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

⁷Ary izy rehetra dia samy nomena ny fampisehoana ny Fanahy hahasoa. [ Na: fisehoan']

⁸For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

⁸Fa ny anankiray nomen'ny Fanahy teny fahendrena, ary ny anankiray teny fahalalana, araka izany Fanahy izany ihany,

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

⁹ary ny anankiray finoana, amin'izany Fanahy izany ihany, ary ny anankiray fanomezam-pahasoavana ho enti-mahasitrana, amin'izany Fanahy iray izany ihany,

¹⁰and 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.

¹⁰ary ny anankiray ny manao fahagagana, ary ny anankiray ny maminany, ary ny anankiray ny mahafantatra fanahy samy hafa, ary ny anankiray ny miteny amin'ny fiteny samy hafa tsy fantatra, ary ny anankiray ny mandika fiteny tsy fantatra. [ Gr. hery]

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

¹¹Ireo rehetra ireo dia asan'ny Fanahy iray ihany, zarazarainy ho azy rehetra avy araka ny sitrapony.

¹²For 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.

¹²Fa tahaka ny tena iray ihany, anefa maro no momba ny tena, ary ireo rehetra momba ny tena ireo, na dia maro aza, dia tena iray ihany, dia tahaka izany koa Kristy.

¹³For 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.

¹³Fa Fanahy iray ihany no nanaovam-batisa antsika rehetra ho tena iray, na Jiosy an jentilisa, na andevo na tsy andevo; ary isika rehetra dia efa nampisotroina ny Fanahy iray. [ Gr. Grika]

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

¹⁴Nefa ny momba ny tena tsy iray, fa maro.

¹⁵If 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.

¹⁵Raha ny tongotra hanao hoe: Satria tsy tanana aho, dia tsy mba momba ny tena, amin'izany dia tsy momba ny tena va izy?

¹⁶If 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.

¹⁶Ary raha ny sofina hanao hoe: Satria tsy maso aho, dia tsy mba momba ny tena,- koa amin'izany dia tsy momba ny tena va izy?

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

¹⁷Raha maso avokoa ny tena rehetra, aiza ary izay fandrenesana? Raha fandrenesana avokoa, aiza ary izay fanimboloana?

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

¹⁸Fa Andriamanitra efa nametraka izay rehetra momba ny tena, samy ho eo amin'ny tena araka ny sitrapony.

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

¹⁹Ary raha izay rehetra momba ny tena no tonga iray monja, aiza intsony izay tena?

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

²⁰Fa maro ny momba ny tena, nefa ny tena dia iray ihany.

²¹The 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.”

²¹Ary ny maso tsy mahazo manao amin'ny tanana hoe: Tsy mila anao aho; ary indray, ny loha tsy mahazo manao amin'ny tongotra hoe: Tsy mila anareo aho.

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

²²Fa mainka ilaintsika aza ny momba ny tena izay atao ho malemilemy kokoa noho ny sasany.

²³Those 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 propriety;

²³Ary ny momba ny tena izay ataontsika ho kely voninahitra kokoa dia tafiantsika voninahitra bebe kokoa; ary izay tsy misy haja amin'ny momba ny tenantsika no hajaintsika kokoa;

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

²⁴fa tsy mila izany ny efa misy haja rahateo amin'ny momba ny tenantsika. Fa tamin'ny nanamboaran'Andriamanitra ny tena, dia izay kely voninahitra no nomeny voninahitra bebe kokoa,

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

²⁵mba tsy hisy fisarahana eo amin'ny tena, fa mba hifampiahy ny momba ny tena rehetra.

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

²⁶Ary raha mijaly ny anankiray amin'ny momba ny tena, dia miara-mijaly avokoa izay rehetra momba ny tena; fa raha omem-boninahitra kosa ny anankiray amin'ny momba ny tena, dia miara-mifaly avokoa izay rehetra momba ny tena.

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

²⁷Ary ianareo no tenan'i Kristy, ka samy momba ny tenany avokoa araka ny anjaranareo avy.

²⁸God 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.

²⁸Ary Andriamanitra efa nanendry ny sasany teo amin'ny fiangonana, voalohany Apostoly, faharoa mpaminany, fahatelo mpampianatra, manaraka izany dia fahagagana, dia fanomezam-pahasoavana ho enti-mahasitrana, dia fanampiana, dia fitondrana, dia fiteny samy hafa tsy fantatra. [ Gr. hery]

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

²⁹Apostoly va izy rehetra? Mpaminany va izy rehetra? Mpampianatra va izy rehetra? Manao fahagagana va izy rehetra?

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

³⁰Manana fanomezam-pahasoavana ho enti-mahasitrana va izy rehetra? Miteny amin'ny fiteny tsy fantatra va izy rehetra? Mandika teny va izy rehetra?Nefa maniria fatratra ny fanomezam-pahasoavana lehibe indrindra; ary, indro, izay lalana tsara indrindra no atoroko anareo:

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

³¹Nefa maniria fatratra ny fanomezam-pahasoavana lehibe indrindra; ary, indro, izay lalana tsara indrindra no atoroko anareo:
