1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you 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 speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh 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 prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Nambo mundu jwakulalichila utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu akuŵecheta ni ŵandu maloŵe ga kwalimbisya mu chikulupi ni kwakamulisya ntima ni kwatulasya ntima.
4 He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
Jwakuŵecheta chiŵecheto changamanyika akulilimbisya nsyene, nambo ajula jwakulalichila utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu akuulimbisya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
5 And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church 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 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?
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 things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of 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 if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
Lipenga lyasonaga pangamanyika usone wakwe, ŵaani ŵachaliŵiche chile kwaula kungondo?
9 So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.
Ŵanyamwe iyoyo, mwaŵechetaga chiŵecheto changamanyika, ŵandu chaimanye chinauli inkuŵecheta yo? Pelepo nkuŵa mpela ŵandu ŵakuŵecheta ni mbungo.
10 There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.
Ipali iŵecheto yejinji pachilambo pano nombe iŵecheto yose ikwete mate.
11 If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.
Iŵaga ngangombola kugamanyilila mate gakwe chiŵecheto chakuŵecheta mundu, chime jwannendo kwa mundu jwakuŵecheta, ni jwelejo kukwangu chaŵe jwannendo.
12 So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
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 And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
Nipele ŵakuŵecheta chiŵecheto changamanyika, apopele kuti akombole kwagopolela ŵandu chaŵechete cho.
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.
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, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, 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 Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not 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 my God I speak with all your tongues.
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu kuti uneji nguŵecheta iŵecheto yangamanyika kumpunda ŵanyamwe wose.
19 But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; 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, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
Achalongo achinjangu, nkaganisya mpela ŵanache achanandi, nambo mme mpela ŵanache achanandi mu igongomalo. Pankuganisya mmeje mpela ŵandu ŵakule.
21 In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so 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 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
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 church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you 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 there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced 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 made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.
Yaisisiche mu ntima wakwe chiŵe yeunukukwe, nombejo chatindiŵale ni kwalamba Akunnungu achitiji, “Isyene Akunnungu ali pasikati jenu mwanya pelepa!”
26 How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath 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 speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, 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 hold his peace in the church, and 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 the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
Ŵandu ŵakusala utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, asaleje ŵaŵili pane ŵatatu ni ŵane agapime agala gakugasala.
30 But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
Nambo iŵaga apali mundu panchingangene po apochele utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, juŵatandite kuŵecheta jula amyalale.
31 For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe wose nkukombola kulalichila jumo jumo utenga umpegwilwe ni Akunnungu kuti kila mundu alijiganye ni kutulaswa ntima.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Ntuuka wa kusala utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu ukusachilwa kulongoswa ni ajula jwaali ni ntuuka wo,
33 For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches 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 women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
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 would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
Iŵaga akwete mausyo ga kuusya, akaausye achiŵankwawo kumusi, pakuŵa jili soni kwa achakongwe kuŵecheta chachilichose pa nsongangano wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupillila Kilisito.
36 Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
Ana liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyatyosile kukwenu? Pane ana lyannyichilile mwanya pe?
37 If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.
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 man know not, he shall not be known.
Nambo mundu agajalusyaga agaga, nombejo ajaluswe.
39 Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak 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 decently, and according to order.
Nambo indu yose ipanganyikwe mwambone ni mwaukotopasyo.
