1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.
Utyati uulowa ninsula nakukila kuipegwa niakenkolo, kukila lukulu mulije kupumya ikidagu.
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.
Ndogoilyo nuanso nuenena kuntambu shawiligilya neantu inge wiligilya ni Tunda. Ndogoilyo kutile nuelenga kunsoko ukuligilya makani nipikile munkolo.
3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Kuite uyu nuepumya ikenyakidagu, witambula neantu nukuazenga, nukuapa umoyo, nukudua iza.
4 He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
Nuanso nukunene kuutambu wizenga ung'wenso kuite nuanso nuepumya ekenyakidagu welezenga itekeelo.
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.
Itungo ite nkete nsula kina unye mehi munene kuntambu. Kuite kukila aya, insula ane kina mupumye ikinyakidagu. Nuanso nuepumya ekenyakidagu inge mukulu kukela uyu nuenena kuntambu (kuala angeze ukole numanyile), nsoko kina itekeelo lehume kuzengwa.
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?
Itungo ele ite akaka neadada ane niza kitalanyu nukunena kuntambu, kumuailya ntoni? Sikukondya, inge kutambula nunyenye kunzila aukunukuilwa, ang'wi kunzila amahale, ang'wi kinyakidagu, ang'wi kunzila akumanyisa.
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?
Angeze imaintu nemagila uupanga anga pilembe ang'wi kenubi neshayepumya utuli nutulekanukile, yukulengeka ule keseme ke nekekiginswa?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
Kundogoilyo angeze ebalagumu ekupumya ululi neshalulengekile, umuntu ukulenga ule kena matungo akihamba kubi kumbita.
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.
Uu nunyenye. Anga mupumye kululeme ulukani neshalatai, umuntu ukutenga mukuligitya ntuni? Ikaamukuligilya, kutile nukumulenga.
10 There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.
Kutile angakuailya kina ikole ntambu yedu mihe, hange kutile anga nengwi nengila indogoilyo.
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.
Kuite angeze singamine indogoilyo antambu, ikanumezeela kung'wa uyu nukunena, nuyu nukunena ikamizeela kung'waane.
12 So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
Uu nunyenye. Kunsoko mukete nsula kukila kuona uwigeeli nuankolo, mulowe kina kukila lukulu kulezenga itekeelo.
13 And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
Uuu, nuanso nukunena kuutambu nualompe wapegwa kulinja.
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.
Kundogoilyo anganompe kuntambu, inkolo ane ilompa, kuite imahala ane magila inkali.
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.
Ntende uli? Kulompa kunkolo ane, kuite gwa hulompa nukumahala ane. Kimba kunkolo ane, hange kemba nukumahala ane gaa.
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.
Ang'wi shanga uu, umukulye Itunda kunkolo, nuanso numizeila ukiteka ule, “Huuela” nukupumya isongeelyo, angeze shuine nutungile?
17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Kundogoilyo inge tai uewe ukusongeelya uza, kuite numungiza shanga ukuzengwa.
18 I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
Numusongeeye Itunda kunsoko kunena kuntambu kukila unye meehi.
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.
Kuite mitekeelo bahu nene nkani itaano kuulengi wane nsoko ndije kuamanyisa niangiza, kukila kunene nkani ikumi elfu kuntambu.
20 Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
Akaka nia dada ane muleke kutula nuang'enya kusiga kitalanyu. Kuleka ite, kutula palung'wi nuubi, mutule anga ang'enya neadabu. Kuite kusiga kung'waanyu mutule miantu niakulu.
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.
Iandekilwe milago, “kuantu antambu nengeza nukumilomo nungiza kutambula neantu wawa. Atezeuu shanga akunija,” ukulunga u Mukulu.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
Uuu, une nekelengasiilyo, singa kuawa niahuie, inge kuawa neshaahuie. Kuite kupumya ikenya kidagu inge kilengasiilyo, singa kuawa nesheahuie, inge nsoko ao niahuie.
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?
Ee, angeze itekeelo lehi lilingie palung'wi hange ehi anene kuntambu, neauya nishaakuie ingie, itee shamuhumile kulungan3e kina mukete alungu?
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.
Kuite angeze iantu akupumya ikinyakidagu nuyu nushuhuie ang'wi mizeela wingila ukupepeligwa naya ehi numigulye. Ukulamulwa nayo nakutambulwa.
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.
Unkunku wakwe nuamunkolo aeyeze lugulwa. Wigeeli wakwe, auzengwa keeundala nukumukulya Itunda. Auzekili kina Itunda ukule pakati itu anyu.
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.
Ntyatile ntuni gwa, akaka nuadada anee? Nemukutankana palung'wi, kela ung'wi ukete zabuli, umanyisi, uukunukuli, ntambu, ang'wi kutafisili. Itumi kela ekentu mulezenge itekeelo.
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.
Ang'wi wehi ukunene kuntambu, ezeakole abiili ang'wi atatu, hange kela muntu muzamu. Numuntu kusinja watafisiri nikikutambulwa.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.
Kuite ang'wi kutile umuntu nuakutafisili, inge ehi ikie akilaje mukati nitekeelo. Inge hela ung'wi wao waligilye ung'wenso udu ni Tunda.
29 And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
Hange anyakidagu abiili ang'wi ataatu anene, niangiza ategeelye nukumanya nekiligiligwe.
30 But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
Kuite nuikie anga wakunukuilwe ikani muwitumi, uyu nazaukunena wakilage.
31 For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:
Kunsoko kela ung'wi wanyu uhumile kupumya ikidagu uung'wi hanza numuya hange insoko kina kela uung'wi akume kumanya hange ehi ahume kutiwa umoyo.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Kunsoko inkolo yaanyakidagu ikole pihe augozi nuanyakidagu.
33 For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
Kunsoko Itunda singa Itunda nuaubili, inge waupolo anga uu nieli mumatekeelo naahueli.
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.
Yeauonee iasungu akilage mitekeelo, kunsoko singa agombigwe kuligitya.
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.
Ang'wi kukole kehi akulija insula kumanya, inge akolye iagohoo kito. Kunsoko minyala umusungu kuligitya mitekeelo.
36 Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
Itee ulukani lang'wi Tunda aelupumile kitalanyune? Itee lemupikie unyenye udune?
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.
Ang'wi umuntu ukiona munyakidagu, ang'wi wakinkolo yemunonee wamalenge imakani nekumuandekila kina malagiilyo a Mukulu.
38 But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
Kuite anga wahite kulenga aya, muleki walekekulenga.
39 Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Uuu inge akaka neadada ane, lowi kukila kupumya ekenyakidagu, hange muleke kumuigilya wehi kunena kuntambu.
40 But let all things be done decently, and according to order.
Kuite imakani ehi atendeke kuuza nukutalatibu
