1 Corinthians 14

1 Pursue love, and earnestly seek the spiritual things, and rather that you may prophesy,

Mubhulondayi luganu ni kunoghela nesu karama sya roho, zaidi nesu mubhwesiajhi kuhomesya bhunabii.

2 for he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue—he does not speak to men, but to God, for no one listens, and he speaks secrets in spirit;

Ndabha muene jha ijobha kwa lugha ijobhalepi ni bhanu bali ijobha ni K'yara. Ndabha ajhelepi jhaijhelebhwa ndabha ijobha mambo ghaghakifighili mu roho.

3 and he who is prophesying to men speaks edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

Lakini muene jhaihomesya bhunabii, ijobha ni bhanu ni kubhajenga, kubhapela muoyo, ni kubhafariji.

4 he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue, edifies himself, and he who is prophesying, edifies the Assembly;

Muene jha ijobha kwa lugha ikwijenga muene, lakini muene jha ihomesya bhunabii akalijenga likanisa.

5 and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that you may prophesy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the Assembly may receive edification.

Henu ninoghel muenga mwebhoha munenajhi kwa lugha. Lakini zaidi jha aghu, ninoghela muhomesiajhi bhunabii. Muene jhaihomesya bhunabii ndo mbaha kuliko muene jha ijobha kwa lugha (labda ajhiajhi ghwa kutafsiri), ili kwamba likanisa libhwesiajhi kujengibhwa.

6 And now, brothers, if I may come to you speaking tongues, what will I profit you, except I will speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching?

Lakini henu, kaka ni dada bhangu, nikahidayi kwa muenga ni kujobha kwa lugha, nibetakubhafaidila kiki muenga? nihotola lepi, isipokujha nijobha namu kwa njela jha ufunuo, au kwa njela jha maarifa, au bhunabii, au kwa njela jha lifundisu.

7 Yet the things without life giving sound—whether pipe or harp—if they may not give a difference in the sounds, how will be known that which is piped or that which is harped?

Ikajhiajhi fenu fyafibeli kujha ni bhuomi kama filimbi au kinubi fikabelayi kuhomesya sauti syasijhele ni tofauti jhibeta kutambulika bhuli, khenu kaelekhu kikinibhwa?

8 For also, if a trumpet may give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

Kwa ndabha jhikajhelayi baragumu betakuhomesya sauti jhajhibeli kumanyikana, ni kwa namna jhel'eku munu ibeta kumanya jha kujha ndo muda ghwa kwiandala kwa vita?

9 So also you, if you may not give speech easily understood through the tongue—how will that which is spoken be known? For you will be speaking to air.

Fefuefu ni muenga. Mkahomesiajhi kwa lumilu lilobhi lya libelikujha dhahiri, ndo namna jhelekhu munu ibeta kujhelebhwa kyamwijobha? Mwibetakujha mwilongela, na ajhelepi jhaibetakubhajhelebhwa.

10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning.

Ijhelepi shaka kujha kujhe ni lugha simehele nesu paduniani, na ajhelepi hata jhimonga jhajhibelikujha ni maana.

11 If, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I will be a foreigner to him who is speaking, and he who is speaking is a foreigner to me;

Lakini ikajhiajhi nimanyilepi maana jha lugha, nibetakujha ne n'hesya ghwa muene jha ijobha kwa lugha, ni muene jha ijobha ibetakujha n'hesya kwa nene.

12 so you also, since you are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, seek for the building up of the Assembly that you may abound;

Mebhu ni muenga. Kwa kujha mwinoghela nesu kulola bhuthihirisu bhwa roho, mulondajhi kujha munoghelayi nesu kulijenga likanisa.

13 for this reason he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue—let him pray that he may interpret;

Nahu, muene jha ijobha kwa lugha na asomajhi kupelibhwa kutafsiri.

14 for if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit prays, and my understanding is unfruitful.

Kwa ndabha nikas'okayi kwa lugha, roho jhanene jhis'oma, lakini luhala lwangu lujhelepi ni matunda.

15 What then is it? I will pray [in] the spirit, and I will also pray [with] understanding; I will sing psalms [in] the spirit, and I will also sing psalms [with] understanding;

Nikhetayi khikhi? Nibetakusoma kwa roho jhangu. Lakini kabhele nibeta kus'oka kwa luhala lwangu. Nibetakujhemba kwa roho jhiangu, na nibetakujhemba kwa luhala lwangu kabhele.

16 since, if you may bless in spirit, he who is filling the place of the commoner, how will he say the Amen at your giving of thanks, since he has not known what you say?

Kama ndo mebhu, ukan'tufiajhi K'yara kwa roho, muene jhaajhele n'hesya ibetakujhedeka bhuli “Amina” pawihomesya kabhombesilu, kama ijhelebhwalepi gha wijobha?

17 For you, indeed, give thanks well, but the other is not built up!

Ndabha bhukweli bhebhe ghwibhombesya kinofu, lakini jhola ijengibhwa lepi.

18 I give thanks to my God—more than you all with tongues speaking—

Nikambombesya K'yara kwa ndabha nijobha kwa lugha nesu jha muenga mwebhoha.

19 but I wish to speak five words in an assembly through my understanding, that I also may instruct others, rather than myriads of words in an [unknown] tongue.

Lakini mu kanisa heri nijobhayi malobhi mahanu kwa bhufahamu bhwa nene ili nikabhajhi kubhamanyisya bhamana, zaidi jha kujobha malobhi elfu kumi gha lugha.

20 Brothers, do not become children in the understanding, but in the evil be children, and in the understanding become perfect;

Kaka ni dada jhangu, musijhi bhana mu kufikiri kwa muenga. Badala jhiake, kuhusiana ni bhuofu, mujhelayi kama bhana bhadebe. Lakini mu kufikiri kwa muenga mukajhelayi bhanu bhazima.

21 in the Law it has been written, that, “With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and even so they will not hear Me, says the LORD”;

Jhilembibhu mu sheria, “Kwa bhanu bha lugha samana ni kwa milomo ghya bhahesya nibetakujobha ni bhanu abha. Bhwala hata naha bhibetalepi kunip'eka,” ijobha Bwana.

22 so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophecy [is] not for the unbelieving, but for the believing.

Naha, lumilu ndo ishara, sio kwa bhiamini, bali kwa bhabelikukiera. Lakini kupisya unabii ndo ishara, sio kwa bhabeli kukiera, bali kwa ndabha jha bhabhikiera.

23 If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in commoners or unbelievers, will they not say that you are mad?

Agha, ikajhiajhi likanisa lyoha libhonganiki pamonga ni bhoha bhajobhayi kwa lugha, ni bhahesya ni bhabhabeli kukiera bhajhingili, je, bhibhwesyalepi kujobha kujha mujhe ni wazimu?

24 And if all may prophesy, and anyone may come in, an unbeliever or commoner, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,

Lakini ikajhiajhi mwebhoha mwihomesya unabii ni jhaabelikukiera au n'hesya akajhingila, ibeta kushawishibhwa ni ghoha ghaibetakupeleka. Ibeta kuhukumibhwa ni ghoha ghaghijobhibhwa.

25 and so the secrets of his heart become visible, and so having fallen on [his] face, he will worship God, declaring that God really is among you.

Siri sya muoyo bhwa muene ngasifunulibhu. Matokeo ghake, ngaabinili kifudifudi ni kumwabudu K'yara. Ngaajhedekili kujha K'yara ajhe pagati pa tete.

26 What then is it, brothers? Whenever you may come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up;

Khelekhu kyakikyesya henu, kaka ni nd'omb'o bhangu? Pamwibhonene pamonga, kila mmonga ajhe ni Zaburi, mafundisu, mafunulibhu, lugha au tafsiri. Mubhombayi khila khenu ili kwamba mulijengayi kanisa.

27 if anyone speaks an [unknown] tongue, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;

Kama jhejhioha jha ijobha kwa lugha bhajhelayi bhabhele au bhadatu, ni khila mmonga mu zamu. Ni khila munu atafusirijhi kyakijobhibhu.

28 and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Lakini kama ajhelepi munu ghwa kutafsiri, basi khila mmonga bhabhi atamayi kinunu mugati mu kanisa. Basi khila mmonga alongelayi muene ni kwa K'yara.

29 And prophets—let two or three speak, and let the others discern,

Ni manabii bhabhele au bhadatu bhajobhayi kwa lugha, ni bhamana bhap'olek'esiajhi kwa kupambanula kyakyajobhibhu.

30 and if [anything] may be revealed to another [who is] sitting, let the first be silent;

Lakini jhaatamili akafunulibhwajhi lijambo mu huduma, jhola ambajhe ajobheghe na agudamayi.

31 for you are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted,

Kwakujha khila mmonga bhinu ibhwesya kuhomesya bhunabii bhwa muene umonga badala jha bhongi ili kwamba khila mmonga abhwesiajhi kwimanyisya ni bhoha bhabhwesiajhi kupelibhwa muoyo.

32 and the spiritual gift of prophets are subject to prophets,

Kwa kujha roho sya manabii sijhele pasi pa bhulolesi bhwa manabii.

33 for God is not [a God] of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the holy ones.

Kwa kujha K'yara sio K'yara ghwa machafuko bali ghwa imani. Kama kyajhijhele ku makanisa ghoha gha bhaamini,

34 Your women, let them be silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as the Law also says;

Jhilondeke bhadala bhatamayi kinunu mu kanisa. Kwa kujha bhiruhusibhwa lepi kulongela. Badala jhiake, bhilondeka kujha mu bhunyenyekevu, kama kabhele sheria kyajhijobha.

35 and if they wish to learn anything, let them question their own husbands at home, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.

Kama kijhele kyokyoha bhinoghela kwimanyisya, basi bhabhakhotayi bhagosi bhabhi kunyumba. Kwa kujha soni kwa n'dala kulongela mu kanisa.

36 Did the word of God come forth from you? Or did it come to you alone?

Je lilobhi lya K'yara lyahomili kwa muenga? Je, libhafikili muenga tu?

37 If anyone thinks to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you—that they are commands of the LORD;

Kama munu akibhuene kujha ndo nabii au bhwa mu roho, jhilondeka aghamanyayi mambo ghanikabhale mbela jha kujha ndo malaghisu gha Bwana.

38 and if anyone is ignorant—let him be ignorant;

Lakini kama amanyilepi agha, mundekayi asimanyikibhu.

39 so that, brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues;

Henu, kaka ni bhal'ombo bhangu, mulandayi nesu kuhomesya unabii, na musin'besi munu jhejhioha kujobha kwa lugha.

40 let all things be done decently and in order.

Lakini mambo ghoha ghabhombekayi kwa unofu ni kwa bhutaratibu.
