1 Corinthians 14
1 Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
Mgangamali kuwera na mafiliru. Ntambu iraayi mgangamali kupata mafupu gamonga ga shirohu, kupita vyoseri mpati mafupu ga kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu.
2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.
Yakatakula luga zyazimanika ndiri, katakula ndiri na wantu kumbiti kankutakula na Mlungu, toziya kwahera muntu yakamwerewa yomberi. Yomberi kankutakula vitwatira vyavilififiti kwa makakala ga Rohu.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.
Kumbiti yakawera na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, katakulaga na wantu kwajili ya kuwatanga na kunemeriziwa na kuwapanana moyu.
4 The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
Yakatakula luga zyazimanika ndiri kalinyawa mweni. Kumbiti yakawera na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, kankushitanga shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
5 I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.
Su nfira mwawoseri mwenga mtakuli kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri kumbiti menfiri muweri na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu. Toziya muntu yakatunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, ndo mkulu nentu kuliku ulii yakawera na lifupu lya kutakula luga zyazimanika ndiri, payiwera ndiri hera handa kwana muntu yakagatakulira galii gagatakulitwi, su shipinga sha wantu woseri yawajimira Yesu wapati kutangwa.
6 Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
Su walongu wayangu, handa panizaku kwa mwenga na kutakula na mwenga kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri hampati mota gaa? Hapeni mpati mota yoseri, kumbiti hampati mota panuwagambira magubutulwa ga Mlungu ama kwa kuvimana ama ujumbi wa Mlungu ama mafundu gamu.
7 Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?
Ndo ntambu yayiwera kwa vyombu vyahera ukomu vyavilaviya liziwu gambira firimbi ama malimba. Muntu kaweza hashi kulumana lwimbu lyaguvinwa handa vyombu avi vilaviya ndiri liziwu weri pavigombwa?
8 Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?
Ngoma ya ngondu payigombwa pota na kuwera na ntambu yakuwi, hashi gaa hakalituli kala kwa ngondu?
9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
Ntambu iraayi na mwenga, handa shamtakula shimanikana ndiri, hashi, gaa hakawezi kuvimana vyamtakula? Su mwenga mulifana gambira wantu yawatakula na lyega.
10 Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
Kwana luga za ntambu yingi yingi pasipanu na kwahera ata yimu yayimanika ndiri.
11 If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.
Kumbiti panuvimana ndiri luga yakatakula muntu, walii yawatakula luga ayi hawaweri wahenga kwa neni na neni hanweri muhenga kwamwenga.
12 It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.
Ntambu iraa ayi na mwenga mfira kupata mafupu ga Rohu, su mtendi ntambu yamuweza kuwera na mafupu ga kushitanga Shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
13 Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
Su yakatakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri, kamluwi Mlungu kawezi kuwagubutulira wantu shilii shashitakulitwi.
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
Toziya panumluwa Mlungu kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri, rohu yangu ndo yayimluwa Mlungu, kumbiti mahala gangu gapanu ndiri.
15 What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
Su ntendi hashi? Hanumluwi Mlungu kwa rohu yangu, hanumluwi Mlungu kwa mahala gangu viraa na hanimbi kwa rohu yangu, hanimbi kwa mahala gangu viraa.
16 Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
Pagumjuma Mlungu kwa rohu yaku hera, hakawezi hashi muntu gwa ntambu iraayi kulonga, “Yina hangu”, Mukulonga mayagashii Mlungu handa pakavimana ndiri shagutakula?
17 You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.
Guweza kulonga hweri mayagashii Mlungu, kumbiti kwa wantu wamonga hapeni iwatangi.
18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
Nonga mayagashii Mlungu kuwera neni ntakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri nentu kuliku mwawoseri mwenga.
19 But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Kumbiti mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu nfira nentu kutakula visoweru vyamuhanu vyavimanikana su nuwafundi wamonga, kuliku kutakula visoweru vivuwa vya luga zyazimanika ndiri.
20 Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
Walongu wangu, namulihola gambira wana mumaholu ganeni. Mwenga muweri gambira wanonu muvidoda, kumbiti pamulihola muweri gambira wantu yawakula.
21 It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”
Mumalembu Mananagala galembwa, “Mtuwa kalonga, ‘Kwa njira ya wantu walii yawatakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri, Na kwa milomu ya wahenga, Hantakuli na wantu awa, Pamuhera na hangu hapeni wampikaniri.’”
22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
Su mafupu ga kutakula luga zyazimanika ndiri gawera lilangaliru kwa wantu walii yawajimira ndiri na kumbiti ndiri kwa walii yawajimira. Kumbiti kutakula ujumbi yakapananitwi na Mlungu na kwa walii ndiri yawajimira, kumbiti kwa wantu yawajimira.
23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
Su wantu woseri wa Mlungu pawaliwona pamuhera na woseri pawanja kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri na wantu walii yawamana ndiri ama wantu walii yawajimira ndiri pawiza kulikolerana na mwenga, hashi womberi hapeni watakuli kuwera mwenga muwera na lukwali?
24 But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,
Kumbiti kila muntu pakatakula ujumbi yakapananitwi na Mlungu na muntu yakamana ndiri ama muntu yakajimira ndiri pakingira, goseri gakagapikanira hagamlanguziyi udoda wakuwi mweni na hakatozwi na galii gakagapikanira.
25 and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
Bada za moyu gwakuwi hazigubutulwi na yomberi hakasuntami makukama na kumguwira Mlungu pakatakula, “Nakaka Mlungu kapamuhera na mwenga!”
26 What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.
Walongu wayangu, vinu tutakuli hashi? Pamuliwona pamuhera kumguwira Mlungu, muntu yumu kayimbi lwimbu na yumonga kafunda na muntu gwingi kaweri na ugubutula kalawa kwa Mlungu na yumonga katenderi lifupu lyakuwi lya kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri na yumonga kagatakuliri galii gagatakulitwi. Goseri aga gatendeki kwa kushitanga Shikundi sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.
Handa pakawera muntu kana lifupu lya kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri, su wafiruwa kutakula wantu wawili ama watatu, yumu pa yumonga, uganu paweri na muntu gwingi kagatakuliri galii gagatakulitwi.
28 But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
Handa kwahera muntu yakaweza kugatakulira galii gagatakulitwi mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira yesu, su ulii yakatakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri kanyamali na kalitakuliri mweni na Mlungu.
29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
Wantu wawili ama watatu yawapananitwi ujumbi wa Mlungu wautakuli na wamonga wagaloliloli weri galii gagatakulitwi na womberi.
30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.
Kumbiti muntu yumu pakatakula na muntu gwingi kapata ugubutula kulawa kwa Mlungu, su ulii yakatakula kanyamali.
31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
Mwawoseri mwenga muweza kupananwa ujumbi wa Mlungu muutakuli, yumu pa yumonga, su kila muntu hakalifundi na kupananwa moyu.
32 The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
Lifupu lya kuwubwera ujumbi wa Mlungu lifiriziwa likolwimlima na ayu yakawera na lifupu ali,
33 For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.
toziya Mlungu ndo Mlungu ndiri gwa ndewu, kumbiti kawera Mlungu gwa makolaniziwu na ponga. Ntambu yayiwera mushipinga shoseri sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu,
34 Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
wadala wanyamalili mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu. Womberi wafiruwa ndiri kutakula ama kulonguziya handa Malagaliru ga Wayawudi ntambu yagalonga.
35 If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.
Handa womberi pawafira kuvimana visoweru vilii, wawakosiyi wapalu wawu ukaya. Toziya hayiweri soni kwa mdala kutakula mumkutanu wa mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
36 Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
Hashi, mwankulihola shisoweru sha Mlungu shilawa kwa mwenga ama shiwayizira mwenga gweka yenu hera?
37 If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
Handa muntu yoseri kalihola kuwera yomberi kawera na lifupu lya kuwutakula ujumbi wa Mlungu ama kawera na lifupu lya Rohu, su kavimani kuwera aga ganuwalembelera mwenga ndo Lilagaliru lya Mtuwa.
38 But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
Kumbiti muntu yakagapikanira ndiri aga, su nakasherwa muntu ayu.
39 So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
Su hangu walongu wayangu, mfiruwa kuwera na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, kumbiti namuwalewelera wantu kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri.
40 But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.
Kumbiti goseri gatendeki kwa ligoya na kwa ntambu iherepa.
