1 Corinthians 14

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

یُویَں پْریماچَرَنے پْرَیَتَدھْوَمْ آتْمِکانْ دایانَپِ وِشیشَتَ اِیشْوَرِییادیشَکَتھَنَسامَرْتھْیَں پْراپْتُں چیشْٹَدھْوَں۔

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;

یو جَنَح پَرَبھاشاں بھاشَتے سَ مانُشانْ نَ سَمْبھاشَتے کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَمیوَ یَتَح کیناپِ کِمَپِ نَ بُدھْیَتے سَ چاتْمَنا نِگُوڈھَواکْیانِ کَتھَیَتِ؛

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

کِنْتُ یو جَنَ اِیشْوَرِییادیشَں کَتھَیَتِ سَ پَریشاں نِشْٹھایَے ہِتوپَدیشایَ سانْتْوَنایَے چَ بھاشَتے۔

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

پَرَبھاشاوادْیاتْمَنَ ایوَ نِشْٹھاں جَنَیَتِ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرِییادیشَوادِی سَمِتے رْنِشْٹھاں جَنَیَتِ۔

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.

یُشْماکَں سَرْوّیشاں پَرَبھاشابھاشَنَمْ اِچّھامْیَہَں کِنْتْوِیشْوَرِییادیشَکَتھَنَمْ اَدھِکَمَپِیچّھامِ۔ یَتَح سَمِتے رْنِشْٹھایَے یینَ سْوَواکْیانامْ اَرْتھو نَ کْرِیَتے تَسْماتْ پَرَبھاشاوادِتَ اِیشْوَرِییادیشَوادِی شْرییانْ۔

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?

ہے بھْراتَرَح، اِدانِیں مَیا یَدِ یُشْمَتْسَمِیپَں گَمْیَتے تَرْہِیشْوَرِییَدَرْشَنَسْیَ جْنانَسْیَ ویشْوَرِییادیشَسْیَ وا شِکْشایا وا واکْیانِ نَ بھاشِتْوا پَرَبھاشاں بھاشَمانینَ مَیا یُویَں کِمُپَکارِشْیَدھْوے؟

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?

اَپَرَں وَںشِیوَلَّکْیادِشُ نِشْپْرانِشُ وادْیَیَنْتْریشُ وادِتیشُ یَدِ کَّنا نَ وِشِشْیَنْتے تَرْہِ کِں وادْیَں کِں وا گانَں بھَوَتِ تَتْ کینَ بودّھُں شَکْیَتے؟

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

اَپَرَں رَنَتُورْیّا نِسْوَنو یَدْیَوْیَکْتو بھَویتْ تَرْہِ یُدّھایَ کَح سَجِّشْیَتے؟

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.

تَدْوَتْ جِہْوابھِ رْیَدِ سُگَمْیا واکْ یُشْمابھِ رْنَ گَدْییتَ تَرْہِ یَدْ گَدْیَتے تَتْ کینَ بھوتْسْیَتے؟ وَسْتُتو یُویَں دِگالاپِنَ اِوَ بھَوِشْیَتھَ۔

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

جَگَتِ کَتِپْرَکارا اُکْتَیو وِدْیَنْتے؟ تاسامیکاپِ نِرَرْتھِکا نَہِ؛

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;

کِنْتُوکْتیرَرْتھو یَدِ مَیا نَ بُدھْیَتے تَرْہْیَہَں وَکْتْرا مْلیچّھَ اِوَ مَںسْیے وَکْتاپِ مَیا مْلیچّھَ اِوَ مَںسْیَتے۔

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

تَسْمادْ آتْمِکَدایَلِپْسَوو یُویَں سَمِتے رْنِشْٹھارْتھَں پْراپْتَبَہُوَرا بھَوِتُں یَتَدھْوَں،

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

اَتَایوَ پَرَبھاشاوادِی یَدْ اَرْتھَکَروپِ بھَویتْ تَتْ پْرارْتھَیَتاں۔

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

یَدْیَہَں پَرَبھاشَیا پْرَرْتھَناں کُرْیّاں تَرْہِ مَدِییَ آتْما پْرارْتھَیَتے، کِنْتُ مَمَ بُدّھِ رْنِشْپھَلا تِشْٹھَتِ۔

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;

اِتْیَنینَ کِں کَرَنِییَں؟ اَہَمْ آتْمَنا پْرارْتھَیِشْیے بُدّھیاپِ پْرارْتھَیِشْیے؛ اَپَرَں آتْمَنا گاسْیامِ بُدّھیاپِ گاسْیامِ۔

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?

تْوَں یَداتْمَنا دھَنْیَوادَں کَروشِ تَدا یَدْ وَدَسِ تَدْ یَدِ شِشْیینیووپَسْتھِتینَ جَنینَ نَ بُدّھیَتے تَرْہِ تَوَ دھَنْیَوادَسْیانْتے تَتھاسْتْوِتِ تینَ وَکْتَں کَتھَں شَکْیَتے؟

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

تْوَں سَمْیَگْ اِیشْوَرَں دھَنْیَں وَدَسِیتِ سَتْیَں تَتھاپِ تَتْرَ پَرَسْیَ نِشْٹھا نَ بھَوَتِ۔

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

یُشْماکَں سَرْوّیبھْیوہَں پَرَبھاشابھاشَنے سَمَرْتھوسْمِیتِ کارَنادْ اِیشْوَرَں دھَنْیَں وَدامِ؛

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.

تَتھاپِ سَمِتَو پَروپَدیشارْتھَں مَیا کَتھِتانِ پَنْچَ واکْیانِ وَرَں نَ چَ لَکْشَں پَرَبھاشِییانِ واکْیانِ۔

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

ہے بھْراتَرَح،یُویَں بُدّھیا بالَکااِوَ ما بھُوتَ پَرَنْتُ دُشْٹَتَیا شِشَوَاِوَ بھُوتْوا بُدّھیا سِدّھا بھَوَتَ۔

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”;

شاسْتْرَ اِدَں لِکھِتَماسْتے، یَتھا، اِتْیَووچَتْ پَریشوہَمْ آبھاشِشْیَ اِمانْ جَنانْ۔ بھاشابھِح پَرَکِییابھِ رْوَکْتْرَیشْچَ پَرَدیشِبھِح۔ تَتھا مَیا کرِتےپِیمے نَ گْرَہِیشْیَنْتِ مَدْوَچَح۔۔

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.

اَتَایوَ تَتْ پَرَبھاشابھاشَنَں اَوِشْچاسِنَح پْرَتِ چِہْنَرُوپَں بھَوَتِ نَ چَ وِشْواسِنَح پْرَتِ؛ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرِییادیشَکَتھَنَں ناوِشْواسِنَح پْرَتِ تَدْ وِشْواسِنَح پْرَتْییوَ۔

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?

سَمِتِبھُکْتیشُ سَرْوّیشُ ایکَسْمِنْ سْتھانے مِلِتْوا پَرَبھاشاں بھاشَمانیشُ یَدِ جْناناکانْکْشِنووِشْواسِنو وا تَتْراگَچّھییُسْتَرْہِ یُشْمانْ اُنْمَتّانْ کِں نَ وَدِشْیَنْتِ؟

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,

کِنْتُ سَرْوّیشْوِیشْوَرِییادیشَں پْرَکاشَیَتْسُ یَدْیَوِشْواسِی جْناناکانْکْشِی وا کَشْچِتْ تَتْراگَچّھَتِ تَرْہِ سَرْوَّیریوَ تَسْیَ پاپَجْنانَں پَرِیکْشا چَ جایَتے،

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.

تَتَسْتَسْیانْتَحکَرَنَسْیَ گُپْتَکَلْپَناسُ وْیَکْتِیبھُوتاسُ سودھومُکھَح پَتَنْ اِیشْوَرَمارادھْیَ یُشْمَنْمَدھْیَ اِیشْوَرو وِدْیَتے اِتِ سَتْیَں کَتھامیتاں کَتھَیِشْیَتِ۔

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;

ہے بھْراتَرَح، سَمِّلِتاناں یُشْماکَمْ ایکینَ گِیتَمْ اَنْیینوپَدیشونْیینَ پَرَبھاشانْیینَ اَیشْوَرِکَدَرْشَنَمْ اَنْیینارْتھَبودھَکَں واکْیَں لَبھْیَتے کِمیتَتْ؟ سَرْوَّمیوَ پَرَنِشْٹھارْتھَں یُشْمابھِح کْرِیَتاں۔

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

یَدِ کَشْچِدْ بھاشانْتَرَں وِوَکْشَتِ تَرْہْییکَسْمِنْ دِنے دْوِجَنینَ تْرِجَنینَ وا پَرَبھاشا کَتھْیَتاں تَدَدھِکَیرْنَ کَتھْیَتاں تَیرَپِ پَرْیّایانُساراتْ کَتھْیَتاں، ایکینَ چَ تَدَرْتھو بودھْیَتاں۔

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

کِنْتْوَرْتھابھِدھایَکَح کوپِ یَدِ نَ وِدْیَتے تَرْہِ سَ سَمِتَو واچَںیَمَح سْتھِتْویشْوَرایاتْمَنے چَ کَتھاں کَتھَیَتُ۔

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

اَپَرَں دْوَو تْرَیو ویشْوَرِییادیشَوَکْتارَح سْوَں سْوَمادیشَں کَتھَیَنْتُ تَدَنْیے چَ تَں وِچارَیَنْتُ۔

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

کِنْتُ تَتْراپَرینَ کینَچِتْ جَنینیشْوَرِییادیشے لَبْدھے پْرَتھَمینَ کَتھَناتْ نِوَرْتِّتَوْیَں۔

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

سَرْوّے یَتْ شِکْشاں سانْتْوَنانْچَ لَبھَنْتے تَدَرْتھَں یُویَں سَرْوّے پَرْیّایینیشْوَرِییادیشَں کَتھَیِتُں شَکْنُتھَ۔

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

اِیشْوَرِییادیشَوَکْترِناں مَناںسِ تیشامْ اَدھِینانِ بھَوَنْتِ۔

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

یَتَ اِیشْوَرَح کُشاسَنَجَنَکو نَہِ سُشاسَنَجَنَکَ ایویتِ پَوِتْرَلوکاناں سَرْوَّسَمِتِشُ پْرَکاشَتے۔

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;

اَپَرَنْچَ یُشْماکَں وَنِتاح سَمِتِشُ تُوشْنِیمْبھُوتاسْتِشْٹھَنْتُ یَتَح شاسْتْرَلِکھِتینَ وِدھِنا تاح کَتھاپْرَچارَناتْ نِوارِتاسْتابھِ رْنِگھْرابھِ رْبھَوِتَوْیَں۔

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.

اَتَسْتا یَدِ کِمَپِ جِجْناسَنْتے تَرْہِ گیہیشُ پَتِینْ پرِچّھَنْتُ یَتَح سَمِتِمَدھْیے یوشِتاں کَتھاکَتھَنَں نِنْدَنِییَں۔

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

اَیشْوَرَں وَچَح کِں یُشْمَتّو نِرَگَمَتَ؟ کیوَلَں یُشْمانْ وا تَتْ کِمْ اُپاگَتَں؟

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;

یَح کَشْچِدْ آتْمانَمْ اِیشْوَرِییادیشَوَکْتارَمْ آتْمَناوِشْٹَں وا مَنْیَتے سَ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ مَیا یَدْ یَتْ لِکھْیَتے تَتْپْرَبھُناجْناپِتَمْ اِیتْیُرَرِی کَروتُ۔

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

کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ اَجْنو بھَوَتِ سوجْنَ ایوَ تِشْٹھَتُ۔

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

اَتَایوَ ہے بھْراتَرَح، یُویَمْ اِیشْوَرِییادیشَکَتھَنَسامَرْتھْیَں لَبْدھُں یَتَدھْوَں پَرَبھاشابھاشَنَمَپِ یُشْمابھِ رْنَ نِوارْیَّتاں۔

40 let all things be done decently and in order.

سَرْوَّکَرْمّانِ چَ وِدھْیَنُسارَتَح سُپَرِپاٹْیا کْرِیَنْتاں۔
