1 Korintoarrei 14
1 Çarreitzate chariteari, eta çareten dohain spiritual guthicioso, baina guehienic prophetiza deçaçuen.
Hotly pursue this love, yet seek earnestly spiritual gifts, and chiefly that you may prophesy.
2 Ecen lengoage arrotzez minço dena etzaye guiçoney minço, baina Iaincoari: ecen nehorc eztu ençuten, eta spirituz mysterioac erraiten ditu.
For he who speaks in a "tongue" speaks not to man but to God, for no one understands him, but in the Spirit he utters secret truths.
3 Baina prophetizatzen duena, guiçoney minço çaye edificationetan, eta exhortationetan, eta consolationetan.
But he who prophesies addresses words to men that build up, encourage, and console.
4 Lengoage arrotzez minço denac, bere buruä edificatzen du: baina prophetizatzen duenac, Eliçá edificatzen du.
He who speaks in a tongue upbuilds himself; but he who prophesies upbuilds the church.
5 Nahi dut bada çuec gucioc lengoage diuersez minça çaitezten, baina nahiago prophetiza deçaçuen ecen handiago da prophetizatzen duena ecen ez lengoage diuersez minço dena, baldin interpretatzen ezpadu, Eliçác edificatione har deçançát.
Now I should like you all to speak with "tongues"; but I should rather that you prophesied, For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be built up.
6 Bada orain, anayeác, baldin banathor çuetara lengoage arrotzez minço naicela, cer probetchu eguinen drauçuet: baldin minça ezpanaquiçue edo reuelationez, edo scientiaz, edo prophetiaz, edo doctrinaz?
Now brothers, if I should come to you speaking with tongues, what should I benefit you, unless I speak to you some revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or teaching?
7 Eta gauça arima gabe soinu emaiten dutenec- ere edo den chirula, edo harpa, baldin cerbait differentia tonuz ezpademate, nolatan eçaguturen da chiruláz edo harpáz ioiten dena?
For if lifeless instruments such as the flute or the harp give no distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is fluted or harped?
8 Ecen baldin soinu iaquin-bat eman ezpadeça trompettác, nor preparaturen da bataillara?
Or, for example, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, what soldier will be prepared for battle?
9 Hala çuec-ere baldin adi daitequeen hitza mihiaz pronuntia ezpadeçaçue, nolatan adituren da erraiten dena? ecen airera minçaçale içanen çarete.
In the same way with you, if you utter unintelligible words with your tongue, how can what you say be understood? You will be speaking to the winds!
10 Hambat (heltzen ohi den beçala) soinu mota da munduan, eta batre ezta muturic.
There are, let us say, so many languages in the world, and none without its meaning.
11 Beraz baldin ezpadaquit vozaren verthutea, içanen natzayó minço denari barbaro: eta minço çaitadana barbaro içanen çait.
If then I do not know the force of expression, I shall seem a barbarian to the one who uses it, and he will seem a barbarian to me.
12 Hala çuec-ere dohain spiritual guthicioso çaretenaz gueroz, çarreitzate hetan abundoso içateari Eliçaren edificationetan.
So also in your case, since you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them for the upbuilding of the church.
13 Halacotz lengoage arrotzez minço denac othoitz begui interpreta ahal deçançát.
So let him who speaks with tongues pray that he may interpret.
14 Ecen baldin lengoage arrotzez othoitz eguiten badut, ene spirituac othoitz eguiten du: baina ene adimendua fructu gabe da.
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is barren.
15 Cer bada? othoitz eguinen dut spirituz, baina othoitz eguinen dut adimenduz-ere: cantaturen dut spirituz, baina cantaturen dut adimenduz-ere.
What then? I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray also with my mind. I will praise God with my spirit, but I will praise him with my mind, also.
16 Bercela, baldin benedica badeçac spirituz, ignorantaren lekua daducanac nolatán erranen du Amen hire remerciamenduaren gainera? ecen hic cer erraiten duan etzeaquic.
For if you in your spirit bless God, how shall he who fills the place of the unlearned say the Amen to your thanksgiving, when he does not know what you are talking about?
17 Ecen hic bay esquerrac emaiten dituc, baina bercea eztatec edificatzen.
You on the one hand offer a good thanksgiving, but the other is not built up.
18 Esquerrac emaiten drauzquiot neure Iaincoari, ceren çuec gucioc baino guehiago lengoagez minço bainaiz.
Thank God I speak with tongues more than you all,
19 Baina Eliçán nahiago naiz borz hitz neure adimenduz minçatu, berceac-ere instrui ditzadançát, ecen ez hamar milla hitz lengoage arrotzez.
but in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, so as to instruct others, than ten thousand in an unknown tongue.
20 Anayeác, etzaretela adimenduz haour: baina çareten malitiaz haour, eta adimenduz çareten guiçon eguinac.
Brothers, do not become children in understanding; be babes in malice, but in understanding become mature men.
21 Leguean scribatua da, Halacotz berce lengoagetaco gendez, eta ezpain arrotzez minçaturen natzayo populu huni: eta are halatan eznaute ençunen, dio launac.
In the Law it is written. With men of other tongues, and by the lips of strangers, will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.
22 Bada lengoage arrotzac dirade seignaletan, ez sinhesten duteney, baina infideley: baina prophetiá, ez infideley, baina sinhesten duteney.
So then the gift of tongues is for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.
23 Bada baldin Eliça gucia bil badadi batetara, eta guciac lengoage arrotzez minça ditecen, eta ignorantac, edo infidelac sar ditecen: eztuté erranen, ecen erhotzen çaretela?
Accordingly, when the whole church assemblies, and everybody is speaking "with tongues," if there enter men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad?
24 Baina baldin guciéc prophetizatzen baduté, eta sar dadin cembeit infidel edo ignorant, vençutzen da guciéz, eta iugeatzen da guciéz.
But if all are prophesying when an unlearned or unbelieving man enters, he is convicted in conscience by your speaker, he feels himself judged by all,
25 Eta halatan haren bihotzeco secretuac manifestatzen dirade: eta hala ahoz beheraturic adoraturen du Iaincoa, declaratzen duela ecen Iaincoa eguiazqui çuetan dela.
and the secret depths of his heart are laid open. So he will fall upon his face and worship God, saying, "Of a truth, God is with you."
26 Cer da bada anayeac? biltzen çareten oroz, çuetaric batbederac psalmu du, doctrina du, reuelatione du, lengoage du, interpretatione du, gauça guciac edificationetan eguin bitez.
What follows, then, brothers? Whenever you meet together, each contributes something; a psalm, a sermon, a revelation, a tongue, an interpretation. Let all be done for edification.
27 Ezpa lengoage arrotzez edocein minço bada, biguez edo gorena hirurez eguin bedi, eta aldizca: eta batec interpreta beça.
If any one speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that in turn, and let some one interpret.
28 Eta baldin interpretaçaleric ezpada, ichil bedi Eliçan lengoage arrotzez minço dena, eta bere buruäri minça bequió eta Iaincoari.
But if there is no one to interpret, let them keep silence in the church, and speak to themselves and to God.
29 Eta biga edo hirur Propheta minça bitez, eta bercéc iugea beçate.
Let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others exercise their judgment.
30 Eta baldin cerbait berce iarriric dagoen bati reuelatu içan baçayó, lehena ichil bedi.
But if to one as he sits there some revelation is made, let the first be silent.
31 Ecen guciéc bata bercearen ondoan prophetiza ahal deçaqueçue, guciéc ikas deçatençát, eta guciac consola ditecençát.
For you can all prophesy one by one; so that all may be learning, and all may be encouraged.
32 Eta Prophetén spirituac Prophetén suiet dirade.
The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets,
33 Ecen Iaincoa ezta confusionezco Iainco, baina baquezco, sainduén Eliça gucietan agueri den beçala.
for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. This custom prevails in all the churches of the saints.
34 Çuen emazteac Elicetan ichilic beude: ecen etzaye permettitzen minçatzera: baina bire suiet, Legueac-ere erraiten duen beçala.
"In your congregation" you write, "as in all the churches of the saints, let the women keep silence in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. On the contrary let them be subordinate, as also says the law.
35 Eta baldin cerbait ikassi nahi baduté, etchean bere senharrac interroga bitzate: ecen deshonest da emaztén Eliçán minçatzea.
And if they want to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a women to speak in church."
36 Ala çuetaric Iaincoaren hitza ilki içan da? ala çuetara beretara heldu içan da?
What, was it from you that the word of God went forth, or to you only did it come?
37 Baldin cembeitec vste badu Propheta dela, edo spiritual, eçagut beça ecen scribatzen drauzquiçuedan gauçác Iaincoaren manamendu diradela.
If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am now writing you is a command of the Lord.
38 Eta ignorant dena, ignorant biz.
But if any one disregard it he will be disregarded.
39 Halacotz, anayeác, çareten prophetizatzera guthicioso, eta lengoage arrotzez minçatzea ezteçaçuela empatcha.
So, my brothers, be ambitious for the gift of prophecy, and speak not against the gifts of tongues.
40 Baina gauça guciac bidezqui eta ordenançaz eguin bitez.
Let everything be done decently and in order.
