1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love, and be emulous of spiritual [manifestations], but rather that ye may prophesy.
Težite za ljubavlju, čeznite za darima Duha, a najvećma da prorokujete.
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.
Jer tko govori drugim jezikom, ne govori ljudima nego Bogu: nitko ga ne razumije jer Duhom govori stvari tajanstvene.
3 But he that prophesies speaks to men [in] edification, and encouragement, and consolation.
Tko pak prorokuje, ljudima govori: izgrađuje, hrabri, tješi.
4 He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies [the] assembly.
Tko govori drugim jezikom, sam sebe izgrađuje, a tko prorokuje, Crkvu izgrađuje.
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.
A htio bih da vi svi govorite drugim jezicima, ali većma da prorokujete. Jer veći je tko prorokuje, negoli tko govori drugim jezicima, osim ako protumači Crkvi radi izgrađivanja.
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?
A sada, braćo, kad bih došao k vama govoreći drugim jezicima, što bi vam koristilo kad vam ne bih priopćio bilo otkrivenje, bilo spoznanje, bilo proroštvo, bilo nauk?
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?
Ako neživa glazbala, svirala ili citra, ne daju razgovijetna glasa, kako će se razabrati što se to izvodi na svirali ili citri?
8 For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war?
Ili ako trublja daje nejasan glas, tko će se spremiti na boj?
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.
Tako i vi, ako jezikom ne budete jasno zborili, kako će se razabrati što se govori? Govorit ćete u vjetar.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound.
Toliko, recimo, ima na svijetu vrsta glasova i - nijedan bez značenja.
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.
Ako dakle ne znam značenja glasa, bit ću sugovorniku tuđinac, a sugovornik tuđinac meni.
12 Thus ye also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.
Tako i vi, budući da čeznete za darima Duha, nastojte njima obilovati radi izgrađivanja Crkve.
13 Wherefore let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret.
Stoga tko govori drugim jezikom, neka se moli da može protumačiti.
14 For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Jer ako se drugim jezikom molim, moj se duh moli, ali um je moj neplodan.
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.
Što dakle? Molit ću se duhom, molit ću se i umom; pjevat ću hvalospjeve duhom, ali pjevat ću ih i umom.
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?
Jer ako Boga blagoslivljaš duhom, kako će neupućen reći “Amen” na tvoju zahvalnicu? Ne zna što govoriš.
17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Ti doduše lijepo zahvaljuješ, ali se drugi ne izgrađuje.
18 I thank God I speak in a tongue more than all of you:
Hvala Bogu, ja govorim drugim jezicima većma nego svi vi.
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.
Ali draže mi je u Crkvi reći pet riječi po svojoj pameti, da i druge poučim, negoli deset tisuća riječi drugim jezikom.
20 Brethren, be not children in [your] minds, but in malice be babes; but in [your] minds be grown [men].
Braćo, ne budite djeca pameću, nego nejačad pakošću, a zreli pameću!
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.
U Zakonu je pisano: Drugim jezicima i drugim usnama govorit ću ovomu narodu pa me ni tako neće poslušati, govori Gospodin.
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.
Tako drugi jezici nisu znak vjernicima, nego nevjernicima; a prorokovanje vjernicima, ne nevjernicima.
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?
Ako se dakle skupi sva Crkva zajedno i svi govore drugim jezicima, a uđu neupućeni ili nevjernici, neće li reći da mahnitate?
24 But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or simple [person] come in, he is convicted of all, he is judged of all;
Ako pak svi prorokuju, a uđe koji nevjernik ili neupućen, sve ga prekorava, sve ga osuđuje.
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.
Tajne se njegova srca očituju te će pasti ničice i pokloniti se Bogu priznajući: Zaista, Bog je u vama.
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.
Što dakle braćo? Kad se skupite te poneki ima hvalospjev, poneki ima nauk, ima otkrivenje, ima jezik, ima tumačenje - sve neka bude radi izgrađivanja.
27 If any one speak with a tongue, [let it be] two, or at the most three, and separately, and let one interpret;
Ako tko govori drugim jezikom - dvojica, najviše trojica, i to jedan za drugim - jedan neka tumači;
28 but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in [the] assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
ako pak ne bi bilo tumača, neka šuti u Crkvi, neka govori sam sebi i Bogu.
29 And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.
Od proroka pak neka govore dvojica ili trojica, drugi neka rasuđuju.
30 But if there be a revelation to another sitting [there], let the first be silent.
Ali ako drugomu uza nj bude što objavljeno, prvi neka šuti.
31 For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all be encouraged.
A možete jedan po jedan svi prorokovati da svi budu poučeni i svi ohrabreni.
32 And spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
Proročki su duhovi prorocima podložni
33 For God is not [a God] of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
jer Bog nije Bog nesklada, nego Bog mira. Kao u svim Crkvama svetih, žene na Sastancima neka šute.
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.
Nije im dopušteno govoriti, nego neka budu podložne, kako i Zakon govori.
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.
Žele li što saznati, neka kod kuće pitaju svoje muževe jer ružno je da žena govori na Sastanku.
36 Did the word of God go out from you, or did it come to you only?
Ili zar je riječ Božja od vas proizašla, zar je samo k vama došla?
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.
Smatra li tko da je prorok ili duhom obdaren, neka zna: što vam pišem, Gospodnja je zapovijed.
38 But if any be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Tko to ne prizna, ne priznaje se.
39 So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues.
Zato, braćo moja, težite prorokovati i ne priječite da se govori drugim jezicima!
40 But let all things be done comelily and with order.
A sve neka bude dostojno i uredno.
