1 Corinthians 14
1 Pursue charity. Be zealous for spiritual things, but only so that you may prophesy.
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.
2 For whoever speaks in tongues, speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands. Yet by the Spirit, he speaks mysteries.
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.
3 But whoever prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.
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.
4 Whoever speaks in tongues edifies himself. But whoever prophesies edifies the Church.
Wuwa dani yi anabci ani mla church se tei.
5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but more so to prophesy. For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless perhaps he interprets, so that the Church may receive edification.
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).
6 But now, brothers, if I were to come to you speaking in tongues, how would it benefit you, unless instead I speak to you in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?
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
7 Even those things that are without a soul can make sounds, whether it is a wind or a stringed instrument. But unless they present a distinction within the sounds, how will it be known which is from the pipe and which is from the string?
Ko kpi bro wa bana hei ni bi ni shishi na du nhababi megye, ni sarewar ni algaitar ba kadawa?
8 For example, if the trumpet made an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for battle?
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?
9 So it is with you also, for unless you utter with the tongue in plain speech, how will it be known what is said? For then you would be speaking into the air.
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?
10 Consider that there are so many different kinds of languages in this world, and yet none is without a voice.
Ajaji lebe ba hei kan akn ni gbugbu'u wu du ba hei ni azanaci ba.
11 Therefore, if I do not understand the nature of the voice, then I shall be like a foreigner to the one with whom I am speaking; and he who is speaking will be like a foreigner to me.
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.
12 So it is with you also. And since you are zealous for what is spiritual, seek the edification of the Church, so that you may abound.
Wa hei naki niwu. wu wuyo sur na gbma wu bayyanuwar Ruhu bi ka himmatu ni habaka ni mla ikilisiya tei.
13 For this reason, too, whoever speaks in tongues, let him pray for the interpretation.
Wuwa ani tere ni lebe, wa ka bre irji du no fasara.
14 So, if I pray in tongues, my spirit prays, but my mind is without fruit.
Wu meta bre ni lebe, Ruhu mu bre wusur wu fahimtata ani hi ni ko shishi na.
15 What is next? I should pray with the spirit, and also pray with the mind. I should sing psalms with the spirit, and also recite psalms with the mind.
Ziza'a me tei ni hei? me bre du Ruhu mu, ni bre ni fahimtata. Me yo sai ni Ruhu mu ni Fahimtata.
16 Otherwise, if you have blessed only with the spirit, how can someone, in a state of ignorance, add an “Amen” to your blessing? For he does not know what you are saying.
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?
17 In this case, certainly, you give thanks well, but the other person is not edified.
Ana hei ni shakka na, wu ka giri gbugbu'u wu ri ana mla tuma tei na.
18 I thank my God that I speak in tongues for all of you.
Me gir ni irji mese terre ni lebe gbugbu'u zanyi wawu'u.
19 But in the Church, I prefer to speak five words from my mind, so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in tongues.
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
20 Brothers, do not choose to have the minds of children. Instead, be free of malice like infants, but be mature in your minds.
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.
21 It is written in the law: “I will speak to this people with other tongues and other lips, and even so, they will not heed me, says the Lord.”
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.
22 And so, tongues are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers; and prophecies are not for unbelievers, but for believers.
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.
23 If then, the entire Church were to gather together as one, and if all were to speak in tongues, and then ignorant or unbelieving persons were to enter, would they not say that you were insane?
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?
24 But if everyone prophesies, and one who is ignorant or unbelieving enters, he may be convinced by it all, because he understands it all.
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.
25 The secrets of his heart are then made manifest. And so, falling to his face, he would adore God, proclaiming that God is truly among you.
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.
26 What is next, brothers? When you gather together, each one of you may have a psalm, or a doctrine, or a revelation, or a language, or an interpretation, but let everything be done for edification.
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.
27 If anyone is speaking in tongues, let there be only two, or at most three, and then in turn, and let someone interpret.
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.
28 But if there is no one to interpret, he should remain silent in the church, then he may speak when he is alone with God.
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.
29 And let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
Wu du anabawa itra duba tere wu bur baka son nikpa kpe ni bam bance ni kpe baki tere.
30 But then, if something is revealed to another who is sitting, let the first one become silent.
Wuba ta no indi fahimta wa a son ni mi sujadar, du wa ani tere wa ziza'a wa ka son ni gbagbi
31 For you are all able to prophesy one at a time, so that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
Wawumbi wu bi yate ananbci ni in diri wu in diri du ko wannen bika to ni koya ni fe karfafawa.
32 For the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Wu ruhohin anabawa ba hei ni karkashin annabawa.
33 And God is not of dissension, but of peace, just as I also teach in all the churches of the saints.
Wu Irji ana Irji wukur na, a wu son se sur. Wa hei naki ni du iklisitya yi bi banagasikiya.
34 Women should be silent in the churches. For it is not permitted for them to speak; but instead, they should be subordinate, as the law also says.
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.
35 And if they want to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.
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.
36 So now, did the Word of God proceed from you? Or was it sent to you alone?
Wu tere Irji ani niwu? A niwu ba ni kakle me ba aye ri niwu?
37 If anyone seems to be a prophet or a spiritual person, he should understand these things which I am writing to you, that these things are the commandments of the Lord.
Indi wa ani ya tuma na wawu a annabi ko wu ruhuniya wakato kpe wa ba nha niyiwu wa umamu wa ani ni Irji.
38 If anyone does not recognize these things, he should not be recognized.
Wu indi wa kama dana kpa yeme ni wa hei na, wa wume bakana to ni wa ba mla gani na.
39 And so, brothers, be zealous to prophesy, and do not prohibit speaking in tongues.
Naki mini vayi bika yo tu ni tei anabci kpan kpa me, nina zuntyo ni tere ni lebe na.
40 But let everything be done respectfully and according to proper order.
Wu bi ka du ko kpe du zire gyegye re nikpe wa ba tere.
