1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual things, and especially that you may prophesy.
Mulubhega okwenda no kwenda muno ebhiyanwa ebhya mu Mwoyo, nawe kukilao muno mubhone okusosha obhulagi.
2 For the one who speaks in another language speaks not to people, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Rukha he speaks mysteries.
Kulwo kubha mwenene unu kaika mu nyaika atakwaika na bhanu nawe kaika Nyamuanga. Kulwo kubha atalio unu kamenya kunsonga kaika emisango jinu jiselekele mu Mwoyo.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to people for their encouragement, strengthening, and comfort.
Mbe nawe omwene unu kasosha obhulagi, kaika na bhanu no kubhombaka, no bhasimbagilisha, no kubhasilisha.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
Omwene unu kaika mu nyaika keyumbaka omwene, mbe nawe unu kasosha obhulagi kalyumbaka likanisa.
5 Now I would like you all to speak in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy, and he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the church may be built up.
Woli enenda ati emwe bhone mwaike mu nyaika. Mbe nawe kukilao ejo jone, enenda ati musoshega obhulagi. Unu kasosha obhulagi ni mukulu kukila unu kaika mu nyaika (mbe nawe abheo owokugajula), koleleki ati likanisa libhone okumbakwa.
6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
Mbe nawe woli, mumula wasu na bhayala bhasu, nikabhajako kwo kwaika kwa inyaika yo lulimi lundi, okubhakomesha chinuki emwe? Nitakutula, atali enaika nemwe mu njila yo kuswelulilwa amwi mu njila yo bhengeso, amwi mu bhulagi, amwi mu njila ya ameigisho.
7 Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they did not give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
Ikabha ebhinu bhinu bhitana bhuanga lwo lukuli amwi litungu bhikalema okusosha obhulaka bhunu bhutasikene, ebhumenyekana atiki ati chinu ni chinu-ki chinu echenywa?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Kulwo kubha ikabha linyawegona likasosha obhulaka bhunu bhutakumenyekana, okulubhana naki omunu kamenya ati omwana gunu nigwo kwiikanya lilemo?
9 So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
Nkokutyo nemwe. Mukasosha kwo lulimi omusango gunu gutali abhwelu, ni kulubhana naki omunu kamenya chinu omwaika? Omutula okubha nimwaika, mbe nawe atalio unu katula okubhelelwa.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none is without meaning.
Kutaliwo kwitimata ati jilio inyaika nyafu mu ndimi nyafu-nyafu muchalo, na italio nolwo imwi inu itana nsonga.
11 If then I do not know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
Mbe nawe alabha nitakumenya nsonga ya jinyaka, enibha mugenyi ku mwene ku unu kaika, na unu kaika kabha mugenyi kwanye.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual things, seek that you may abound to the building up of the church.
Nikwo kutyo nemwe. Kulwo kubha mukenele muno okulola okubhulisibhwa okwa Mwoyo, mwende ati mwongeshe muno okulyumbaka likanisa.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
kwibhyo, unu kaika kwa jinyaika na nasabhwe koleleki ayanwe okugajula.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Kulwo kubha nikasabhwa mu nyaika, omwoyo gwani one ogusabhwa, mbe nawe obhwenge bhwani bhitana matwasho.
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.
Nikole-ki? Enisabhwa kwo Mwoyo gwani, mbe nawe one enisabhwa kwo bhwenge bhwani. Enimba kwo Mwoyo gwani, na enimba kwo bhwenge bhwani one.
16 Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, seeing he does not know what you say?
Kujindi jone, ukamukuya Nyamuanga kwo Mwoyo, omwene unu ali mugenyi ketabhwa atiki “Amina” Anu ousosha isime, na akabha atakujimenya jinu owaika?
17 For you truly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Kulwo kubha ni chimali ati awe wasima kisi, mbe nawe oundi uliya atakumbakwa.
18 I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all.
Enimusima Nyamuanga kulwo kubha enaika mu nyaika nyafu kukila nemwe bhone.
19 However in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
Mbe nawe mwikanisa ni akili naike misango etanu kwo bhumenyi bhwani koleleki nibhone okubheigisha abhandi, kukila okwaika misango bhiumbi ekumi mu nyaika.
20 Brothers, do not be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, mwasiga kubha bhana bhatoto mu kwiganilisha kwemwe. Amwi nejo, okulubhana no bhunyamuke, nimubhe lwa bhana abhalela. Mbe nawe mu kwiganilisha kwemwe mubhee bhanu bhakulu.
21 In the law it is written, "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people; but even then they will not listen to me," says the Lord.
Jandikilwe mu bhilagilo ati, “Mu bhanu bha nyaika indi na mu minwa eja bhagenyi nilwaika na bhanu bhanu. Nolwo kutyo bhatalinyungwa,” kaika Latabhugenyi.
22 Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
Kwibhyo, jindimi ja jinyaika ni chibhalikisho, mbe nawe atali kubhanu bhekilisishe, nawe ku bhanu bhatekilisishe. Mbe nawe okusosha obhulagi ni chibhalikisho, atali ku bhanu bhatekilisishe, nawe ni ingulu yebhwe ya bhanu bhekilisishe.
23 If therefore the whole church is assembled together and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?
Mbe, likabha likanisa lyona likofyanyishe amwi na bhona nibhaika mu nyaika indi, bhagenyi na bhanu bhatekilisishe one bhengiyemo, angu bhatakutula okwaika ati bhanu ni bhasasi?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
Mbe nawe akabha bhona nimusosha obhulagi na unu atekilisishe amwi mugenyi engiyemo, kakongibhwa nejo kongwa. kalamulwa nejo ejaikwa.
25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
Jimbisike jo Mwoyo gwaye jakasuluywe. Mukubhonekana kwaye, akaguye bhwifumbike no kumulamya Nyamuanga. Na akekilisishe ati Nyamuanga ali agati yemwe.
26 What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
Woli ni chinuki chinu echilubha, bhamula na bhayala bhasu? Ungwa mukabhuga- ngana amwi, bhuli umwi ali no lwimbo lwo kusilisha, anameigisho, ano kuswelulilwa, ali no lulimi lundi, amwi okugajula. Nimukole bhuli chinu koleleki ati mulyumbake likanisa.
27 If anyone speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Alabha wone wine kaika mu lulimi lundi, bhabheo bhanu bhabhili amwi bhasatu, na bhuli umwi nibhabhalanwa. No munu ni bhusi-bhusi agajule chinu echaikwa.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Mbe nawe alabha atalio munu wo kugajula, mbe bhuli umwi webhwe enyanje ajibhile jibhi mwikanisa. Mbe bhuli umwi aike enyele-la na ku Nyamuanga.
29 Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
Na bhalagi bhabhili amwi bhasatu bhaike, na abhandi bhategeleshe no kusombokelwa chinu chaikwa.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Mbe nawe unu enyanjile no kuswelulilwa no musango mu bhufulubhendi, unu saga naika najibhile.
31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
Kulwo kubha bhuli umwi wemwe katula okusosha obhulagi oumwi akamala oundi nalubha koleleki ati bhuli umwi atule okwiigila na bhone bhatule okusimbagilisibhwa.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Kulwo kubha emyoyo ja bhalagi jili emwalo yo bhwangalisi bhwa abhalagi.
33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints,
Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga atali Nyamuanga wo bhunyamuke, mbe nawe wo mulembe. Lwakutyo jili mu mwikanisa gona aga bhekilisha,
34 let the women keep silent in the congregations, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the Law also says.
kubheile abhagasi bhenyanje mukanisa nibhajibhila jibhi. Kulwo kubha bhatakwikilisibhwa okwaika. Amwi nejo, kubheile bhabhe bhololo, lwa kutyo one ebhilagilo ebhyaika.
35 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the church.
Alabha chilio chone chone chinu abhenda okwiigila, mbe nibhabhabhushe abhalume bhebhwe ika. Kulwo kubha ni nswalo omugasi okuloma mwikanisa.
36 What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Angu omusango gwa Nyamuanga gusokele kwemwe? Nangu gubhakingiye emwe-la?
37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
Nolwo omunu akelola ati ni mulagi amwi we chinyamwoyo, jimwiile ajimenye emisango jinu enibhandikila ati ni malagililo aga Latabhugenyi.
38 But if someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
Mbe nawe akalema okumenya jinu, mumusige abhao.
39 Therefore, my brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
Kwibhyo woli, bhamula na bhayala bhasu, mwende muno okusosha obhulagi, na mwasiga kumuganya munu wone wone unu kaika kwa jindimi ejindi.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Mbe nawe emisango jone jikoleke kwo bhwekisi na kwo bhwiti.
