1 Corinthians 14
1 FOLLOW after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
KOMAIL anane limpok, pil inong iong pai ngenin akan, a iet me kasampwal re’rail, kokopada!
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
Pwe me kin lokaia kida ngil en wai, kaidin aramas akan, me a kin lokaia ong, a ong Kot, pwe sota amen kin dedeki; ari so, ni ngen o a kin lokaia kida me rir akan.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
A me kin kokop, kin padaki ong aramas akan, pwen kamaui, o panau o kamait ir ala.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
A me lokaiaki ngil en wai, kin kamaui pein i, a me kin kokop, kin kamaui momodisou.
5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
I men, komail karos en asa lokaia ki ngil toror, a mak eta, komail en kokopada, pwe me kin kokopada, me lapa sang me kin kaparok ki ngil toror, ma a so kak kasiriwukila, pwe momodisou en kamau kila.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
Ari ri ai kan, ma i pwara wong komail, ap lokaia ki ngil toror, da katepa ong komail, ma i sota kaweweda de kasansaleda, de kokopada, de padak?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
Iduen meakan, me kin lokolokaia ap sota memaur, ma men kwai de arp sota pan ngor pasang, is me pan kak dedeki, da me ira kauleki?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
O ma koronete pan popeuk ping, is me pan onopadang mauin?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
A iduen komail, ma komail pan lokaia ki ngil toror, ap sota kaweweda, is me pan dedeki? Pwe omail lokaia pan me mal kot.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
Song en lokaia toto nan sappa, a sota eu me so puloi.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
A ma i sasa wewe en lokaia eu, i pan rasong men wai men ong me kin kaparok, o me kin kaparok, pan rasong men wai men ong ia.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
A pil dueta komail, pwe komail kin anane pai ngenin akan, komail ari pil ngongki kakairida ni mepukat, pwen kamauie kila momodisou.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
A ma amen lokaia kida ngil en wai, i en kapakap ap pil kasiriwukila.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Pwe ma i wia kapakap ki lokaia ngil en wai eu, ngen i kin kapakap ap sota katepa ong amen.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
Ari, da me i pan wia? I pan kapakap ni ngen i ap pil pan kapakap ni ai lamelam; i pan kapinga ni ngen i ap pil kapinga ni ai lamelam.
16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
A ma koe pan kapaiada ki ngen o, iaduen me sota dedeki pan kak inda amen murin om kapinga? Pwe a sasa me koe indinda.
17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Ei me mau melel om kapikapinga, a sota kadepa ong me teio.
18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
I kin danke Kot, pweki i kin lokaiaki ngil toror sang komail.
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
Ari so nan momodisou i men kida lep in lokaia limau, me pwili sang ai lamelam sang lep in lokaia nen ni ngil toror, pwen padaki ong me tei kan.
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
Ri ai kan, komail der wiala seri ni omail lamelam, a ni me sued komail en rasong kisin seri, a ni omail lamelam komail en unsokela.
21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
A intingidier nan kapung: Lokaia o kil en aua toror, me I pan lokaiaki ong kainok wet, a re pil sota pan duki ong ia, me Kaun o kotin masani.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Nan i me lokaia toror mia, pwen kileledi kaidin me poson akan, a me soposon akan; a deideikop kaidin ong me soposon akan, pwe ong me poson akan.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
A ma momodisou pan pokon pena wasa kis, o ma karos pan lokaia ni ngil toror, a ma akai iang me sota dedeki, de akai me soposon, irail sota pan inda, me komail iakalar?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
A ma karos kin kokop, o amen pan pwarado, me soposon, o me sota dedeki, karos pan kasansale ong i dip a, o a pan pakasaui ren karos.
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
Iduen a me rir akan nan mongiong i pan sansaleda, o a pan tairokedi ni mas a, kaudoki ong Kot, o pan inda, melel Kot kotikot re omail.
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
Ri ai kan, iaduen komail ni omail pokon pena, kaidin amen amen kin kida psalm eu? A amen kin kawewe, a amen ngil toror, a amen kasansal eu, a amen kin kasiriwukila; a karos en wiaui, en kamauiada.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
A ma amen pan wia ngil en wai, me ta riamen, de ma me toto, re pan silimen, a irail pan irok wei a amen en kasirawukila.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
A ma sota men kasiriwuk mia, i en nenenla nan momodisou; a en kasoi ong pein i o Kot.
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
A riamen de silimen ren saukop akan pan kak kaparok, a me tei kan en kasauiada.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
A ma amen, ren me momod wasa o, pan diar kasansal eu, men mas ap pan nenenla.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
A komail karos kak kokop, irok weida, pwe karos en padakki o kamaitala.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
A ngen en saukop akan kin duki ong saukop akan.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Pwe kaidin komoan me ping men Kot, a en popol duen ni momodisou en saraui akan karos.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
Omail li akan en nenenla nan momodisou kan, pwe a sota muei ong irail, en kaparok; a irail en papa, duen kapung me pil masani.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
A ma irail men asa okotme, irail en kalelapok ren arail warok kan ni deu’rail, pwe me kanamenok, li en kaparok nan momodisou.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
De masan en Kot tapi sang komail? De a ko wong komail eta?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
A ma amen lamelame, me a saukop amen, de me a ngenin, a en asa wewe en me i intingki wong komail, pwe mepukat kusoned en Kaun o.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
A ma amen lolepon, i en lolepon.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Ari ri ai kan en inong iong kokop, o ender kainapwi lokaia ngil toror.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
A meakaros en wiaui nin tiak mau o pung.
