1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual things, and especially that you may prophesy.
Mubhulondayi luganu ni kunoghela nesu karama sya roho, zaidi nesu mubhwesiajhi kuhomesya bhunabii.
2 For the one who speaks in another language speaks not to people, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
Ndabha muene jha ijobha kwa lugha ijobhalepi ni bhanu bali ijobha ni K'yara. Ndabha ajhelepi jhaijhelebhwa ndabha ijobha mambo ghaghakifighili mu roho.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to people for their encouragement, strengthening, and comfort.
Lakini muene jhaihomesya bhunabii, ijobha ni bhanu ni kubhajenga, kubhapela muoyo, ni kubhafariji.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
Muene jha ijobha kwa lugha ikwijenga muene, lakini muene jha ihomesya bhunabii akalijenga 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.
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 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?
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 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?
Ikajhiajhi fenu fyafibeli kujha ni bhuomi kama filimbi au kinubi fikabelayi kuhomesya sauti syasijhele ni tofauti jhibeta kutambulika bhuli, khenu kaelekhu kikinibhwa?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
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, 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.
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 is without meaning.
Ijhelepi shaka kujha kujhe ni lugha simehele nesu paduniani, na ajhelepi hata jhimonga jhajhibelikujha ni maana.
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.
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 also you, since you are zealous for spiritual things, seek that you may abound to the building up of the church.
Mebhu ni muenga. Kwa kujha mwinoghela nesu kulola bhuthihirisu bhwa roho, mulondajhi kujha munoghelayi nesu kulijenga likanisa.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Nahu, muene jha ijobha kwa lugha na asomajhi kupelibhwa kutafsiri.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Kwa ndabha nikas'okayi kwa lugha, roho jhanene jhis'oma, lakini luhala lwangu lujhelepi ni matunda.
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.
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 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?
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 truly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Ndabha bhukweli bhebhe ghwibhombesya kinofu, lakini jhola ijengibhwa lepi.
18 I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all.
Nikambombesya K'yara kwa ndabha nijobha kwa lugha nesu jha muenga mwebhoha.
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.
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 be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
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 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.
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 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.
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 church is assembled together and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?
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 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged 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 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.
Siri sya muoyo bhwa muene ngasifunulibhu. Matokeo ghake, ngaabinili kifudifudi ni kumwabudu K'yara. Ngaajhedekili kujha K'yara ajhe pagati pa tete.
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.
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 in another language, let it be two, or at the most 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 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church, 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 Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
Ni manabii bhabhele au bhadatu bhajobhayi kwa lugha, ni bhamana bhap'olek'esiajhi kwa kupambanula kyakyajobhibhu.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Lakini jhaatamili akafunulibhwajhi lijambo mu huduma, jhola ambajhe ajobheghe na agudamayi.
31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
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 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Kwa kujha roho sya manabii sijhele pasi pa bhulolesi bhwa manabii.
33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
Kwa kujha K'yara sio K'yara ghwa machafuko bali ghwa imani. Kama kyajhijhele ku makanisa ghoha gha bhaamini,
34 let the women keep silent in the churches, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, 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 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.
Kama kijhele kyokyoha bhinoghela kwimanyisya, basi bhabhakhotayi bhagosi bhabhi kunyumba. Kwa kujha soni kwa n'dala kulongela mu kanisa.
36 What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Je lilobhi lya K'yara lyahomili kwa muenga? Je, libhafikili muenga tu?
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.
Kama munu akibhuene kujha ndo nabii au bhwa mu roho, jhilondeka aghamanyayi mambo ghanikabhale mbela jha kujha ndo malaghisu gha Bwana.
38 But if someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
Lakini kama amanyilepi agha, mundekayi asimanyikibhu.
39 Therefore, my brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in 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.
