1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love, and be emulous of spiritual [manifestations], but rather that ye may prophesy.
Nlimbile kukola unonyelo, iyoyo ni kusaka kwannope mituuka jine ja Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, nambo nnopennope, mpate ntuuka wa kwalalichila ŵandu utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
2 For he that speaks with a tongue does not speak to men but to God: for no one hears; but in spirit he speaks mysteries.
Mundu jwakuŵecheta chiŵecheto changamanyika jwelejo ngakuŵecheta ni ŵandu nambo akuŵecheta ni Akunnungu, pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakumanyilila, jwelejo akuŵecheta kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu indu yesisiche.
3 But he that prophesies speaks to men [in] edification, and encouragement, and consolation.
Nambo mundu jwakulalichila utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu akuŵecheta ni ŵandu maloŵe ga kwalimbisya mu chikulupi ni kwakamulisya ntima ni kwatulasya ntima.
4 He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies [the] assembly.
Jwakuŵecheta chiŵecheto changamanyika akulilimbisya nsyene, nambo ajula jwakulalichila utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu akuulimbisya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
5 Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.
Uneji ngusaka ŵanyamwe wose mmechete iŵecheto yangamanyika, nambo nnopennope ngusaka ŵanyamwe nlalichile utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu. Pakuŵa mundu jwaali ni ntuuka wa kusala utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu akutenda yambone kumpunda jwakuŵecheta iŵecheto yangamanyika, iŵaga apali mundu jwine jwakukombola kwagopolela ŵandu ŵane chaŵechete cho, kuti mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ukombole kugumbikwa.
6 And now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?
Sambano achalongo achinjangu, iŵaga ngwika kukwenu ni kuŵecheta iŵecheto yangamanyika, ana chinkole ichichi? Kusyene ngampoka ikaŵe nguntagulila kwalitala lya chiunukuko kutyochela kwa Akunnungu pane kwa umanyilisi pane kwa liloŵe lya Akunnungu pane kwa majiganyo?
7 Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
Namose indu yangali umi ikwete liloŵe lyakwe, chindu mpela chitolito pane chityatya, iŵaga ngaikutyosya liloŵe lya kulekangana, mundu chalumanyilile chinauli lujimbo lwalukung'andikwa?
8 For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war?
Lipenga lyasonaga pangamanyika usone wakwe, ŵaani ŵachaliŵiche chile kwaula kungondo?
9 Thus also ye with the tongue, unless ye give a distinct speech, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking to the air.
Ŵanyamwe iyoyo, mwaŵechetaga chiŵecheto changamanyika, ŵandu chaimanye chinauli inkuŵecheta yo? Pelepo nkuŵa mpela ŵandu ŵakuŵecheta ni mbungo.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound.
Ipali iŵecheto yejinji pachilambo pano nombe iŵecheto yose ikwete mate.
11 If therefore I do not know the power of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian for me.
Iŵaga ngangombola kugamanyilila mate gakwe chiŵecheto chakuŵecheta mundu, chime jwannendo kwa mundu jwakuŵecheta, ni jwelejo kukwangu chaŵe jwannendo.
12 Thus ye also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.
Iyoyo peyo ni ŵanyamwe, pakuŵa nkulajila kwannope kupochela mituuka ja Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, nlimbile kwannope kukola mituuka jajikukamusya kuugumba mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
13 Wherefore let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret.
Nipele ŵakuŵecheta chiŵecheto changamanyika, apopele kuti akombole kwagopolela ŵandu chaŵechete cho.
14 For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Pakuŵa pangupopela mchiŵecheto changamanyika, mbumu jangu ni jajikupopela, nambo lunda lwangu ngalukupanganya chachili chose.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing also with the understanding.
Ana sambano ndende uli? Chimbopele kwa mbumu jangu, nombe chimbopele kwa umanyilisi wangu, chinyimbe kwa mbumu jangu, nombe chinyimbe kwa umanyilisi wangu.
16 Since otherwise, if thou blessest with [the] spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple [Christian] say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?
Mwalapaga Akunnungu kwa mbumu jenu pe, Iwaga kwana mundu jwine jwangamanyilila chinkuŵecheta cho, chajitichisye chinauli “Eloo,” kwa kwatogolela Akunnungu iŵaga ngaimanya chinkuŵecheta?
17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Namuno nkukombola kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa usyene, nambo ngaikwakamuchisya mundu jwine.
18 I thank God I speak in a tongue more than all of you:
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu kuti uneji nguŵecheta iŵecheto yangamanyika kumpunda ŵanyamwe wose.
19 but in [the] assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, [rather] than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Nambo naŵaga pasikati ja mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, mbaya mechete maloŵe nsano gagakumanyika kuti najiganye ŵane kupunda kuŵecheta maloŵe gamajinji nnope kwa iŵecheto yangamanyika.
20 Brethren, be not children in [your] minds, but in malice be babes; but in [your] minds be grown [men].
Achalongo achinjangu, nkaganisya mpela ŵanache achanandi, nambo mme mpela ŵanache achanandi mu igongomalo. Pankuganisya mmeje mpela ŵandu ŵakule.
21 It is written in the law, By people of other tongues, and by strange lips, will I speak to this people; and neither thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.
Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gakuti: “Ambuje akuti, ‘Chimechete ni ŵandu ŵa kwa chiŵecheto cha chilendo. Ni chimechete ni ŵandu ŵa kwa ngomo sya achalendo, namose yeleyo ŵandu ŵa ngasambilikanila.’”
22 So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.
Nipele kuŵecheta iŵecheto yangamanyika kuli chimanyisyo kwa ŵandu ŵangakukulupilila, ni ngaŵa kwa ŵandu ŵakukulupilila. Nambo kusala utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu kuli kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵakukulupilila ni ngaŵa kwa ŵandu ŵangakukulupilila.
23 If therefore the whole assembly come together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and simple [persons] enter in, or unbelievers, will not they say ye are mad?
Nipele iŵaga mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ukuchingangana pamo, ni kila mundu kuŵecheta chiŵecheto changamanyika, ni aŵala ŵandu ŵangamanyilila ni ŵangakulupila ajinjilaga mwelemo ngasasala kuti ŵanyamwe nli ŵampugwe?
24 But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or simple [person] come in, he is convicted of all, he is judged of all;
Nambo iŵaga ŵandu wose nkulalichila utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, ajinjilaga mundu jwangamanyilila pane jwangakulupilila yose ichapilikane chiyalosye ungalumbana wakwe nsyene ni aila yaipilikene chiyalamule.
25 the secrets of his heart are manifested; and thus, falling upon [his] face, he will do homage to God, reporting that God is indeed amongst you.
Yaisisiche mu ntima wakwe chiŵe yeunukukwe, nombejo chatindiŵale ni kwalamba Akunnungu achitiji, “Isyene Akunnungu ali pasikati jenu mwanya pelepa!”
26 What is it then, brethren? whenever ye come together, each [of you] has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.
Ana tujile uli achalongo achinjangu? Pankuchingangana pamo kwapopelela Akunnungu, jwine ajimbe lujimbo ni jwine ajiganyisye, ni jwine akole uunukuko waukutyochela kwa Akunnungu ni jwine aŵechete kwa chiŵecheto changamanyika ni jwine ŵagopolele ŵandu chachiŵechetekwe cho. Indu yose itendekwe kwa kwagumba ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu.
27 If any one speak with a tongue, [let it be] two, or at the most three, and separately, and let one interpret;
Iŵaga ŵandu akuŵecheta iŵecheto yangamanyika, aŵecheteje ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu, ngasapunda, nambo aŵecheteje jumojumo ni kuŵeje ni mundu jwakugopolela.
28 but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in [the] assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
Nambo iŵaga ngapagwa mundu jwakwagopolela ŵandu chachiŵechetekwe cho, jwele jwakuŵecheta chiŵecheto changamanyika atame jii mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, aŵechete ni nganisyo syakwe nsyene ni Akunnungu.
29 And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.
Ŵandu ŵakusala utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, asaleje ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu ni ŵane agapime agala gakugasala.
30 But if there be a revelation to another sitting [there], let the first be silent.
Nambo iŵaga apali mundu panchingangene po apochele utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, juŵatandite kuŵecheta jula amyalale.
31 For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all be encouraged.
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe wose nkukombola kulalichila jumo jumo utenga umpegwilwe ni Akunnungu kuti kila mundu alijiganye ni kutulaswa ntima.
32 And spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
Ntuuka wa kusala utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu ukusachilwa kulongoswa ni ajula jwaali ni ntuuka wo,
33 For God is not [a God] of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
pakuŵa Akunnungu ngaŵa Akunnungu ŵakuwatanganya nambo ali Akunnungu ŵa chitendewele. Mpela yaikuti pakuŵa kwa mipingo jose ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaali ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu,
34 Let [your] women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.
achakongwe amyalale mmipingo jose ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito pakusongangana. Ŵelewo ngakusachilwa kuŵecheta. Nambo akusachilwa ajitichisye, mpela igakuti kusala Malajisyo ga Ŵayahudi.
35 But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.
Iŵaga akwete mausyo ga kuusya, akaausye achiŵankwawo kumusi, pakuŵa jili soni kwa achakongwe kuŵecheta chachilichose pa nsongangano wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupillila Kilisito.
36 Did the word of God go out from you, or did it come to you only?
Ana liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyatyosile kukwenu? Pane ana lyannyichilile mwanya pe?
37 If any one thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things that I write to you, that it is [the] Lord's commandment.
Mundu jwalijose aliganisyaga kuti akwete ntuuka wa kusala utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu pane akwete Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, aimanyilile kuti ingulemba yi, ngulemba makanyo ga Ambuje.
38 But if any be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Nambo mundu agajalusyaga agaga, nombejo ajaluswe.
39 So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues.
Kwayele, achalongo achinjangu, nlajile kwannope kwalalichila ŵandu utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu ni ngasimwakanya ŵandu kuŵecheta chiŵecheto changamanyika.
40 But let all things be done comelily and with order.
Nambo indu yose ipanganyikwe mwambone ni mwaukotopasyo.
