1 Korinthians 14
1 Kiwu za kauna ni himmatu ni baye wa' son' ndi yo sron ni ba nno u brjia, baye ruhaniya wa kiya ni tindu wu tutu ma inno u totsu anabci.
Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual things, and especially that you may prophesy.
2 Du indi wa ani tere ni lebe ana u wa ani tre ni l'me 'a ana tre ni ndji na, indi a se tere ni wuna, ni irji wa ityo ani tre ni Rji. na fahimtarma na wa hei wa ani tere kpi wa ba kaba su ni Ruhu.
For the one who speaks in another language speaks not to people, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
3 Wu indi wu anabci ani tere ni indi du ba mla kpamba tei da karfa fa ni kpa mba da ta'azantar ni ba. wu wa ani tere ni lebe ri, ase tere ni tuma, damba tuma ba se tei.
But he who prophesies speaks to people for their encouragement, strengthening, and comfort.
4 Wuwa dani yi anabci ani mla church se tei.
He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
5 Me ya anabi bina tere ni harsuna, wu kpe wa a ka hu naki me na yo sur bina yi anabci. Wa ani tei anabci a zan wa ani tere ni harsuna (sai dai indi wa ani fassara ni ikilisiya du sobi).
Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy, and he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the church may be built up.
6 Mini vayi, me ta ye niye nitere ni harsuna, wa gye a riba bi ni me anabina sai metere niyi ni wahayi wu koni anabci ko tsoro
But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
7 Ko kpi bro wa bana hei ni bi ni shishi na du nhababi megye, ni sarewar ni algaitar ba kadawa?
Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they did not give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
8 Wu bata fyi gbunu ni sauti wa ana hei ni bima na wuni hei iri ni to iton wa dede niwa ani mla tei ni ku?
For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
9 Wahei toki ikon ririniyi. Bita furta tere wa ana hei nitun kona, wu ni hei iri ni wo kpe wobi tere? Bise ter wu ba wu wo ani wo kpe wa biki tere?
So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
10 Ajaji lebe ba hei kan akn ni gbugbu'u wu du ba hei ni azanaci ba.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none is without meaning.
11 Metana to azanci wu lebe na, me hei na indi wu zir niwa ase tere wuwawu bu'u niwa a se tere ki he na bi zir wawubu'u.
If then I do not know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
12 Wa hei naki niwu. wu wuyo sur na gbma wu bayyanuwar Ruhu bi ka himmatu ni habaka ni mla ikilisiya tei.
So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual things, seek that you may abound to the building up of the church.
13 Wuwa ani tere ni lebe, wa ka bre irji du no fasara.
Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
14 Wu meta bre ni lebe, Ruhu mu bre wusur wu fahimtata ani hi ni ko shishi na.
For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 Ziza'a me tei ni hei? me bre du Ruhu mu, ni bre ni fahimtata. Me yo sai ni Ruhu mu ni Fahimtata.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16 Wu inda ana hei naki na, wuta yi yabon Irji ni ruhu megye wuni hei indi a hei ko rama ani ter, “Anaki” ni giri ni kpe wawuse tei wana to kpe wa wu se tere na?
Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, seeing he does not know what you say?
17 Ana hei ni shakka na, wu ka giri gbugbu'u wu ri ana mla tuma tei na.
For you truly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
18 Me gir ni irji mese terre ni lebe gbugbu'u zanyi wawu'u.
I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all.
19 Du naki de ni bubu shubi ikilisiya ani bi mu du me tere ni kalmomiton ni mi fahimta wu ingonta bari biwa ba zan dubu wu lon wu lebe
However in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
20 Mini vayi nakama son na mini bi ziza'a na ni mere bina. Wu naki se de ni sau wu meme ma, ba surwu mini bi ziza'a, wu ni mere bi girma.
Brothers, do not be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
21 Ba nha ni tere sharia da tere me tere ni indi wa ba hei ni meme lebe ni be bunanyuh. Du naki kwa bana wo ba na Irji tere.
In the law it is written, "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people; but even then they will not listen to me," says the Lord.
22 Wu lebe al amu ba ana bi wa ba hei ni ban gaskiya na, wani hei ni bi wa bana hei ni bangaskiya. Wu anabci ba a alama ba ni biwa ba wa hei ni gaskiya, wu ana wu biwa bana hei bangaskiya.
Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
23 Wu a hei naki, wu ikilisiya ba yi shubi wu ko nha ani tere ni lebe bari, bari bahi biwu konri bawa bana bi bangaskiya wa ba ri anaki base ba tere bi sar ba?
If therefore the whole church is assembled together and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?
24 Wuko nha ana wu anabci, ni wa ana hei ni bangasikiya na, wu wa ani ni kora wu tere ani no nassara ni kpe wa a wo. ba gbi ton ma ni kpe wa ba bla.
But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
25 Wukpe wu re ni mi sur ani nu nira wu kpe ani wu gonma ani joku ni shshi da yisujada da nla niyu ma Irji jaji wawu hei ni ba wawu'u.
And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
26 Mini vayi wa agye naki? wu bi ta kuson ni shubi bi, wu indi a hei ni zabura wutsor wahayi, lebe ni fassara. Bi ka tei kpe wa ni wu mla ikilisiya tei.
What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
27 Wu indi wa ni tere ni lebe ri bi ka wa indi ha ko tra ni bar ba wawu'u, wubaka tere yiyir-yiyir, wu ri ka yi fassara kpe wa ba tere.
If anyone speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
28 Wu indi wa ana yi fassara ana hei na baba wawumba wu ba son ni kpe kpe yini mi iklisiya. Wuka nha ka tere ni tuma ni kama ni Irji.
But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Wu du anabawa itra duba tere wu bur baka son nikpa kpe ni bam bance ni kpe baki tere.
Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
30 Wuba ta no indi fahimta wa a son ni mi sujadar, du wa ani tere wa ziza'a wa ka son ni gbagbi
But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
31 Wawumbi wu bi yate ananbci ni in diri wu in diri du ko wannen bika to ni koya ni fe karfafawa.
For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
32 Wu ruhohin anabawa ba hei ni karkashin annabawa.
The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
33 Wu Irji ana Irji wukur na, a wu son se sur. Wa hei naki ni du iklisitya yi bi banagasikiya.
for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
34 U'mba duba son ni kpa kpi ni du church, Bana kpa yeme du ba tere ni church na. Wa hei naki baka yi biyaya nawa dauka a tere.
let the women keep silent in the churches, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the Law also says.
35 Wubata hei nikpe wa ba son ba koya, u baka miyi ba lon ba niko. Ani kpe wu shan du wa du tere ni mi church.
If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the church.
36 Wu tere Irji ani niwu? A niwu ba ni kakle me ba aye ri niwu?
What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
37 Indi wa ani ya tuma na wawu a annabi ko wu ruhuniya wakato kpe wa ba nha niyiwu wa umamu wa ani ni Irji.
If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
38 Wu indi wa kama dana kpa yeme ni wa hei na, wa wume bakana to ni wa ba mla gani na.
But if someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
39 Naki mini vayi bika yo tu ni tei anabci kpan kpa me, nina zuntyo ni tere ni lebe na.
Therefore, my brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40 Wu bi ka du ko kpe du zire gyegye re nikpe wa ba tere.
Let all things be done decently and in order.
