1 Corinthians 14
1 Followe after loue, and couet spirituall giftes, and rather that ye may prophecie.
Luluta tomba luzolo, lulomba diaka makaba ma Pheve. Vayi mboti luluta tomba dikaba di bikula.
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.
Mutu wowo widi dikaba di tuba zimbembo zi phila mu phila, kuidi Nzambi kantuba vayi bika kuidi batu. Kadi mutu kalendi kunsudika ko; vayi mu Pheve wulembo tubi mambu matsueki.
3 But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto me to edifying, and to exhortation, and to comfort.
Vayi mutu wowo wumbikulanga kuidi batu kantuba, wunkindisanga minu kiawu, wuntunganga batu ayi wukubabombanga.
4 He that speaketh strange language, edifieth himselfe: but hee that prophecieth, edifieth the Church.
Mutu wowo wuntubanga zimbembo zi phila mu phila wukukikindisanga niandi veka. Vayi mutu wowo wumbikulanga, wukudisanga dibundu mu minu.
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.
Thidi ti beno boso luba ayi dikaba di tubanga zimbembo zi phila mu phila vayi ndutidi zola ti beno babo lubikula. Dikaba di bikula dilutidi mfunu ayi dikaba dituba zimbembo zi phila mu phila. Muaki dikaba beni dimbanga mfunu enati mutu wowo wuntuba wulenda sudikisa mambu momo makatubidi mu diambu dibundu ditungu.
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?
Diawu bakhomba, enati ndizidi kuidi beno ayi ndikuluyolukila mu zimbembo zi phila mu phila, buna ndandu mbi lulenda baka mu minu enati ndikadi kuluyolukila mu mambu momo Nzambi kalembo mbonisa voti mu mambu ma diela, voti mu mambu ma mbikudulu voti mu mambu ma ndongolo?
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?
Tubonga kifuani ki bisiku bi miziki bikambulu luzingu, banga flute votingitale. Enati bitotulanga ko ningu wuviakana, buna buevi tulenda zabilamambu momo malembo siku mu flute voti mu ngitale?
8 And also if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to battell?
Voti enati tulumbeta yitotulanga ko ningu wunwakana bumboti, buna nani wulenda kubama mu kuenda nuana mvita e?
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.
Bobuawu kuidi beno. Enati lunyolukila mu zimbembo zi phila mu phila buna buevi balenda zabila mambu momo lutidi tuba bu lulembo totula mambu mankambu wakana bumboti e?
10 There are so many kindes of voyces (as it commeth to passe) in the world, and none of them is dumme.
Zimbembo bawombo zidi va ntoto wawu, ayi zidi ziviakana, vayi kadi mbembo yimosi mu zizioso yikambulu mfunu.
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.
Vayi kuidi minu, enati ndikadi zaba mbembo yoyo yi balembo khambila mambu, buna mutu wowo wuntuba mbembo beni weka nzenza kuidi minu ayi minu mamvama ndidi nzenza kuidi niandi.
12 Euen so, forasmuch as ye couet spirituall giftes, seeke that ye may excell vnto the edifying of the Church.
Bu luidi phuila mu baka makaba ma Pheve Yinlongo, lumatombanga buwombo vayi lumatombila mu diambu makudisa Dibundu mu minu.
13 Wherefore, let him that speaketh a strange tongue, pray, that he may interprete.
Diawu enati mutu beki dikaba di tuba mu mbembo yikambu zabakana, bika kasambila mu diambu kabaka dikaba di sudikisila mambu momo katubidi.
14 For if I pray in a strange togue, my spirit prayeth: but mine vnderstading is without fruite.
Bila, enati ndinsambila mu mbembo yikambu zabakana, buna Pheve ama kaka yidi mu lusambulu vayi diela diama dikadi baka kadi kima.
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.
Mbi mfueti vanga? Ndiela sambilanga mu Pheve ama vayi ndielasambilanga diaka mu diela diama. Ndiela yimbidilanga Nzambi mu Phevevayi ndiela yimbidila diaka mu diela diama.
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?
Enati wulembo vutudila Nzambi matondo mu Pheve kaka, buna buevi mutu, widi mu dibundu, wukambu longa kalenda vutudila “Ameni” mu lusambulu luaku lu mvutudulu matondo e? Bila kakadi sudika mambu momo wulembo tubi.
17 For thou verely giuest thankes well, but the other is not edified.
Banza ti lusambulu lumvutudulu matondo kuidi Nzambi luidi lumboti, vayi wunkaka kakadi kula mu minu.
18 I thanke my God, I speake languages more then ye all.
Ndimvutulanga matondo mawombo kuidi Nzambi, bila ndiluviokidi beno boso mu tuba zimbembo zikambulu zabakana.
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.
Vayi mu lukutukunu, ndinzolanga kuwombo tuba mambu matanu malenda sudika batu boso, mu diambu di longa bankaka ayi mu tuba kumi di mili di mambu mu mbembo yikambu zabakana.
20 Brethren, be not children in vnderstanding, but as concerning maliciousnes be children, but in vnderstanding be of a ripe age.
Zikhomba, lubika ba banga bana balezi mu diela dieno vayi lukituka bana balezi mu vanganga mambu mambimbi; vayi luba bakulutu mu diela dieno.
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.
Masonama mu mina ti: Pfumu wutuba ti: ndiela yolukila batu baba mu zimbembo zinkaka mu miunu mi banzenza, ka diambu ko bobo balendi kunguilukila ko.
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.
Diawu dikaba di tuba zimbembo zi phila mu phila didi dimbu mu diambu di bawu bakambu wilukila vayi disi dimbu ko kuidi bawu bawilukila. Vayi dikaba di bikula didi dimbu kuidi bawu bawilukila vayi disi dimbu ko kuidi bawu bakambu wilukila.
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?
Enati dibundu dioso dikutikini va kimosi ayi batu boso beka tuba zimbembo zi phila mu phila vayi zimbukila batu bakambu longa voti bakambu wilukila bakotidi, keti buna siba banzila ti beno babo lumeni lawuka e?
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,
Vayi enati batu boso balembo bikula, mutu wukambu wilukila voti wukambu longa bu kakotidi buna maka kimona mutu wu masumu ayi mayindu mandi ma ntima mama nsambisa.
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.
Matsueki ma ntimꞌandi mela totolo va nganda. Buna wela fukama, wela yinika zizi kiandi mu kembisa Nzambi ayi wela tuba: “Bukiedika Nzambi widi yeno.”
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.
Zikhomba, mbi bivanga e? Bu lunkutakananga, wumosi makayimbila, wunkaka makalonga, wunkaka maka tuba mu zimbembo zi phila mu phila, wunkaka maka tuba mambu kasongolo, wunkaka sudikisa zimbembo zi philamu phila. Bika mambu moso momo maba mu diambu di thungulu yi dibundu.
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.
Enati batu balembo tubi mu mbembo yi nzenza, baba batu buadi vayi babika vioka batatu, ayi bika kadika mutu katuba mu yandi thangu ayi bulutidi mboti vaba mutu wulenda sudikisa mambu malembo yoloko.
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.
Vayi enati vasi ko mutu wulenda sudikisa mambu malembo tubu buna bulutidi fuana kuidi mutu widi dikaba di tuba zimbembo zi phila mu phila mu dimbama mu dibundu. Bika katuba mu diambu di niandi veka ayi mu diambu di Nzambi.
29 Let the Prophets speake two, or three, and let the other iudge.
Mu diambu di mimbikudi, bika batu buadi voti batu batatu batuba bosi bika bankaka bafiongunina.
30 And if any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first holde his peace.
Enati mutu wunkaka widi mu lukutukunu songolo mambu mu thangu mutu wunkaka kalembo tubi, buna bika mutu wowo wutheti kadimbama.
31 For ye may all prophecie one by one, that all may learne, and all may haue comfort.
Bila beno boso lulenda kueno bikula kadika mutu mu yandi thangumuingi batu boso balonguka ayi bakindusu.
32 And the spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets.
Bila mimbikudi minyadilanga ziphevi zi mimbikudi.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all ye Churches of the Saints.
Bila Nzambi kasi Nzambi yi divunzi ko vayi Nzambi yi ndembama. Banga buididi mu mabundu moso ma banlongo,
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.
bika baketo badimbama mu zikhutukunu. Bila basi ko minsua miyolukila vayi bafueti tumama banga bueti tubila Mina.
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.
Enati batidi longuka, bika bayuvula babakala bawu mu zinzo ziawu; bila didi diambu di tsoni kuidi nketo mu tuba mu lukutukunu.
36 Came the worde of God out from you? either came it vnto you onely?
Kuidi beno kutotukila mambu ma Nzambi? Voti kuidi beno kaka mayiza e?
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.
Enati mutu wulembo yindula ti widi mbikudi voti weti diatusu kuidi Pheve, buna bika kazaba ti mambu mama tsonikini madi thumunu yi niandi veka Pfumu.
38 And if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Vayi enati mutu kasi zaba mawu ko; buna bika kabika kuandi zaba mawu.
39 Wherefore, brethren, couet to prophecie, and forbid not to speake languages.
Diawu bakhomba lunuanina dikaba di bikula ayi kadi kandika dikaba di yoluka zimbembo zi phila mu phila.
40 Let all things be done honestly, and by order.
Vayi bika mambu moso mavangimina mu lukinzu, ayi mu kambu divunzi.
