1 Corinthians 14
1 Followe after loue, and couet spirituall giftes, and rather that ye may prophecie.
Mu zwile habusu ni chisemo mi munungwe impo za luhuho, sihulu bupolofita.
2 For hee that speaketh a strange tongue, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man heareth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh secret things.
Mihe uzo yo wamba cha malimi kawambi ku bantu kono kwe Ireeza. Mihe ka kwina ni heba yenke yo muzuwa kakuti u wamba zintu zili patite mu Luhuho.
3 But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto me to edifying, and to exhortation, and to comfort.
Kono muntu yo polofita u wamba ku bantu cha kuba bumba, kuba susuweza, ni kuba senga senga.
4 He that speaketh strange language, edifieth himselfe: but hee that prophecieth, edifieth the Church.
Uzo yo wamba cha malimi uli bumba iye mwine, kono yo polofita u bumba inkeleke.
5 I would that ye all spake strange languages, but rather that ye prophecied: for greater is hee that prophecieth, then hee that speaketh diuers tongues, except hee expound it, that the Church may receiue edification.
Hanu nisuna kuti mubonse mu wambe malimi. Kono ku hite aho, ni suna kuti mube mu bapolofite. Yo pulofita mukando kuyo wamba malimi (konji muntu hayi toloka kuti inkeleke i bumbwe).
6 And nowe, brethren, if I come vnto you speaking diuers tongues, what shall I profite you, except I speake to you, either by reuelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecying, or by doctrine?
Kono hanu, bakwangu, heba niza kwenu nini wamba malimi, u wana nzi? Ka niwoli, hesi ha ni wamba kwenu che nsinulo, kapa inzimbo, kapa cha bupolofita, kapa cha buluti.
7 Moreouer things without life which giue a sounde, whether it be a pipe or an harpe, except they make a distinction in the soundes, how shall it be knowen what is piped or harped?
Mwi kwikalile ni ku zintu zi sa huzi zizwisa milomo — sina impala kapa kambuli mi kazi zwisi milomo isa swani, zumwi muntu ke zibe bule mulililo we impala kapa wa kambuli?
8 And also if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to battell?
Mihe heba impeta hayi lizwa ka wumwi mulililo, muntu ke zibe buti kuti cheli inako ya kuli tukiseza kuya kwi nkondo?
9 So likewise you, by the tongue, except yee vtter wordes that haue signification, howe shall it be vnderstand what is spoken? for ye shall speake in the ayre.
Linu njenwe. Heba nimu wamba chiwambo chisa zuweki, muntu ka zuwe buti chi mwa wamba? Kamu wambe, kono ka kwina muntu yesa zuwe zimu wamba.
10 There are so many kindes of voyces (as it commeth to passe) in the world, and none of them is dumme.
Mwi ikanda kwina mishobo mingi, kono ka kwina isena intaluso.
11 Except I know then the power of ye voyce, I shall be vnto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh, shalbe a barbarian vnto me.
Kono heba ka nizi intaluso ya mushobo, ka nibe ni muzwahule ku yo wamba, mi yo wamba kabe muzwahule kwangu.
12 Euen so, forasmuch as ye couet spirituall giftes, seeke that ye may excell vnto the edifying of the Church.
Cwale inwe, sina hamu tukufalelwe kwi impo za Luhuho, munungwe muku zakisa inkeleke.
13 Wherefore, let him that speaketh a strange tongue, pray, that he may interprete.
Mihe muntu yo wamba cha malimi u swanela ku lapela kuti a toloke.
14 For if I pray in a strange togue, my spirit prayeth: but mine vnderstading is without fruite.
Mi heba nini lapela cha malimi, luhuho lwangu nilu lapela, kono kani zuwisisi.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I wil pray with the vnderstanding also: I wil sing with the spirite, but I will sing with the vnderstanding also.
Kanti ime ni tenda nzi? Kani lapele ni luhuho lwangu, kono kani lapele ni ku zuwisisa. Ni zimbe ni luhuho lwangu, mi kani zimbe nini zuwisisa.
16 Else, when thou blessest with the spirit, howe shall hee that occupieth the roome of the vnlearned, say Amen, at thy giuing of thankes, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?
Ni hakuba bulyo, heba no temba Ireeza cho luhuho, muntu ya sena inzibo ka cho bule “Amen” heba no litumela kakuti iye ka zuwi zo kwete ku wamba?
17 For thou verely giuest thankes well, but the other is not edified.
Mihe iwe uha buitumelo bwako hande, mi zumwi ka bumbisi.
18 I thanke my God, I speake languages more then ye all.
Ni itumela kwe Ireeza ha ni wamba cha malimi ku mi zamba mubonse.
19 Yet had I rather in the Church to speake fiue wordes with mine vnderstanding, that I might also instruct others, then ten thousande wordes in a strange tongue.
Kono mwi inkeleke nisuna ku wamba ni zuwisisa manzwi a tenda i yanza kuti nimilute inwe mubamwi, isini manzwi a tenda zikiti ze ikumi za malimi.
20 Brethren, be not children in vnderstanding, but as concerning maliciousnes be children, but in vnderstanding be of a ripe age.
Bakwangu, kazi mubi mubahwile mu ku zeza. Chabulyo, chi amana ni chibi, mube mu bahwile. Kono muku zeza mube mubakulwana.
21 In the Lawe it is written, By men of other tongues, and by other languages will I speake vnto this people: yet so shall they not heare me, sayth the Lord.
Ku mulao ku ñoletwe, “Kani wambe kube chisi za bantu ba malimi ni milomo ise zibenkani. Naho kese niba nizuwe”, ku wamba Ireeza.
22 Wherefore strange tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleeue, but to them that beleeue not: but prophecying serueth not for them that beleeue not, but for them which beleeue.
Ni haku ba bulyo malimi chisupo, isina kuba zumine, kono kubasa zumine. Kono kupolofita chi supo, isini kuba sa zumine, kono kuba zumine.
23 If therefore when the whole Church is come together in one, and all speake strange tongues, there come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleeue not, will they not say, that ye are out of your wittes?
Heba, kuba kuti, inkeleke yonse hayikopana mi bonse ba wamba cha malimi, mi bahanze ni bazumine habe njila kese ba wamba kuti mupehuhite?
24 But if all prophecie, and there come in one that beleeueth not, or one vnlearned, hee is rebuked of all men, and is iudged of all,
Kono heba mu bonse ni mupolofita yasa zumine niya sezi habe njila, ka zumine zonse zese a zuwe. Ka atule zonse za wambwa.
25 And so are the secrets of his heart made manifest, and so he will fall downe on his face and worship God, and say plainely that God is in you in deede.
Zipatitwe mwi nkulo kazi putululwe. Che bakelyo, ka wile hansi ka bulubi ni ku temba Ireeza. A wambe cha kukoza kuti initi Ireeza kwena mukati kenu.
26 What is to be done then, brethren? when ye come together, according as euery one of you hath a Psalme, or hath doctrine, or hath a tongue, or hath reuelation, or hath interpretation, let all things be done vnto edifying.
Chinzi chi chilila, bakwangu? Heba ni mukopana mu bonse, zumwi ni zumwi nena luzimbo, kamba intuto, kamba zi patuluka, malimi, kapa intoloko. Mu tende zonse zintu kuti mu bumbe inkeleke.
27 If any man speake a strange tongue, let it be by two, or at the most, by three, and that by course, and let one interprete.
Heba zumwi yo wamba che ndimi, ku be bobele kapa botatwe haba liha inako. Mi zumwi u wola ku toloka cha wambwa.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keepe silence in the Church, which speaketh languages, and let him speake to himselfe, and to God.
Kono heba kuti ka wina yo toloka musiye bantu bonse batontole mwi inkeleke. Mu siye muntu ni muntu a wambe yenke kwe Ireeza.
29 Let the Prophets speake two, or three, and let the other iudge.
Muleke bobele kapa botatwe bapolofita ba wambe, mi mu leke bamwi ba tekeleze ka ku zuwisisa chi wambwa.
30 And if any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first holde his peace.
Kono heba zumwi ku bekele mwi inkeleke ha hewa kubungutula chintu, mu leke yo wamba a tontoze.
31 For ye may all prophecie one by one, that all may learne, and all may haue comfort.
Mihe heba mubonse mu wola ku polofita kuti mubonse mulitute ni ku susuwezwa.
32 And the spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets.
Mihe luhuho lwa bapolofita luhuho lu yendiswa bapolofita.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all ye Churches of the Saints.
Mihe Ireeza kana Ireeza yo lyangana, kono we kozo. Uwo nji mulao mwi inkeleke zonse zi ba zumini.
34 Let your women keepe silence in the Churches: for it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but they ought to be subiect, as also the Lawe sayth.
Banakazi ba tontole mu makeleke. Mihe kaba zumininwe ku wamba. Kono ba swanela ku libika kunsi, muu wambila mulao hape.
35 And if they will learne any thing, let them aske their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speake in the Church.
Heba kwina chimwi chi ba suni ku lituta, ba buze ba kwame ba bo ku mazubo. Mihe ka ku woleki ku mwanakazi ku wamba mwi inkeleke.
36 Came the worde of God out from you? either came it vnto you onely?
Inzwi lye Ireeza liba zwi kwako? Kana nji kwenu bulyo ku liba siki?
37 If any man thinke him selfe to be a Prophet, or spirituall, let him acknowledge, that the things, that I write vnto you, are the commandements of the Lord.
Heba zumwi ni zumwi u hupula kuti iye mupolofita kapa wina luhuho, a zuwisise kuti zintu zi ni ñolela intaelo izwa kwe Ireeza.
38 And if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Mihe zumwi ha kana ku zumina izo, kanji a zumini.
39 Wherefore, brethren, couet to prophecie, and forbid not to speake languages.
Linu haho, bakwangu, mu twale inkulo zenu ku ku polofita, mi kani kanisi muntu ku wamba cha malimi.
40 Let all things be done honestly, and by order.
Kono mu leke zintu zonse zi tendahale che swanelo ni kamulao.
