1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual things, and especially that you may prophesy.
Mgangamali kuwera na mafiliru. Ntambu iraayi mgangamali kupata mafupu gamonga ga shirohu, kupita vyoseri mpati mafupu ga kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu.
2 For the one who speaks in another language speaks not to people, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Ruach he speaks mysteries.
Yakatakula luga zyazimanika ndiri, katakula ndiri na wantu kumbiti kankutakula na Mlungu, toziya kwahera muntu yakamwerewa yomberi. Yomberi kankutakula vitwatira vyavilififiti kwa makakala ga Rohu.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to people for their encouragement, strengthening, and comfort.
Kumbiti yakawera na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, katakulaga na wantu kwajili ya kuwatanga na kunemeriziwa na kuwapanana moyu.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the congregation.
Yakatakula luga zyazimanika ndiri kalinyawa mweni. Kumbiti yakawera na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, kankushitanga shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
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 congregation may be built up.
Su nfira mwawoseri mwenga mtakuli kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri kumbiti menfiri muweri na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu. Toziya muntu yakatunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, ndo mkulu nentu kuliku ulii yakawera na lifupu lya kutakula luga zyazimanika ndiri, payiwera ndiri hera handa kwana muntu yakagatakulira galii gagatakulitwi, su shipinga sha wantu woseri yawajimira Yesu wapati kutangwa.
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?
Su walongu wayangu, handa panizaku kwa mwenga na kutakula na mwenga kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri hampati mota gaa? Hapeni mpati mota yoseri, kumbiti hampati mota panuwagambira magubutulwa ga Mlungu ama kwa kuvimana ama ujumbi wa Mlungu ama mafundu gamu.
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?
Ndo ntambu yayiwera kwa vyombu vyahera ukomu vyavilaviya liziwu gambira firimbi ama malimba. Muntu kaweza hashi kulumana lwimbu lyaguvinwa handa vyombu avi vilaviya ndiri liziwu weri pavigombwa?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Ngoma ya ngondu payigombwa pota na kuwera na ntambu yakuwi, hashi gaa hakalituli kala kwa ngondu?
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.
Ntambu iraayi na mwenga, handa shamtakula shimanikana ndiri, hashi, gaa hakawezi kuvimana vyamtakula? Su mwenga mulifana gambira wantu yawatakula na lyega.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none is without meaning.
Kwana luga za ntambu yingi yingi pasipanu na kwahera ata yimu yayimanika ndiri.
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.
Kumbiti panuvimana ndiri luga yakatakula muntu, walii yawatakula luga ayi hawaweri wahenga kwa neni na neni hanweri muhenga kwamwenga.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual things, seek that you may abound to the building up of the congregation.
Ntambu iraa ayi na mwenga mfira kupata mafupu ga Rohu, su mtendi ntambu yamuweza kuwera na mafupu ga kushitanga Shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Su yakatakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri, kamluwi Mlungu kawezi kuwagubutulira wantu shilii shashitakulitwi.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Toziya panumluwa Mlungu kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri, rohu yangu ndo yayimluwa Mlungu, kumbiti mahala gangu gapanu ndiri.
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.
Su ntendi hashi? Hanumluwi Mlungu kwa rohu yangu, hanumluwi Mlungu kwa mahala gangu viraa na hanimbi kwa rohu yangu, hanimbi kwa mahala gangu viraa.
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?
Pagumjuma Mlungu kwa rohu yaku hera, hakawezi hashi muntu gwa ntambu iraayi kulonga, “Yina hangu”, Mukulonga mayagashii Mlungu handa pakavimana ndiri shagutakula?
17 For you truly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Guweza kulonga hweri mayagashii Mlungu, kumbiti kwa wantu wamonga hapeni iwatangi.
18 I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all.
Nonga mayagashii Mlungu kuwera neni ntakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri nentu kuliku mwawoseri mwenga.
19 However in the congregation I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
Kumbiti mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu nfira nentu kutakula visoweru vyamuhanu vyavimanikana su nuwafundi wamonga, kuliku kutakula visoweru vivuwa vya luga zyazimanika ndiri.
20 Brothers, do not be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Walongu wangu, namulihola gambira wana mumaholu ganeni. Mwenga muweri gambira wanonu muvidoda, kumbiti pamulihola muweri gambira wantu yawakula.
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.
Mumalembu Mananagala galembwa, “Mtuwa kalonga, ‘Kwa njira ya wantu walii yawatakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri, Na kwa milomu ya wahenga, Hantakuli na wantu awa, Pamuhera na hangu hapeni wampikaniri.’”
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.
Su mafupu ga kutakula luga zyazimanika ndiri gawera lilangaliru kwa wantu walii yawajimira ndiri na kumbiti ndiri kwa walii yawajimira. Kumbiti kutakula ujumbi yakapananitwi na Mlungu na kwa walii ndiri yawajimira, kumbiti kwa wantu yawajimira.
23 If therefore the whole congregation is assembled together and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?
Su wantu woseri wa Mlungu pawaliwona pamuhera na woseri pawanja kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri na wantu walii yawamana ndiri ama wantu walii yawajimira ndiri pawiza kulikolerana na mwenga, hashi womberi hapeni watakuli kuwera mwenga muwera na lukwali?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
Kumbiti kila muntu pakatakula ujumbi yakapananitwi na Mlungu na muntu yakamana ndiri ama muntu yakajimira ndiri pakingira, goseri gakagapikanira hagamlanguziyi udoda wakuwi mweni na hakatozwi na galii gakagapikanira.
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.
Bada za moyu gwakuwi hazigubutulwi na yomberi hakasuntami makukama na kumguwira Mlungu pakatakula, “Nakaka Mlungu kapamuhera na mwenga!”
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.
Walongu wayangu, vinu tutakuli hashi? Pamuliwona pamuhera kumguwira Mlungu, muntu yumu kayimbi lwimbu na yumonga kafunda na muntu gwingi kaweri na ugubutula kalawa kwa Mlungu na yumonga katenderi lifupu lyakuwi lya kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri na yumonga kagatakuliri galii gagatakulitwi. Goseri aga gatendeki kwa kushitanga Shikundi sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
27 If anyone speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Handa pakawera muntu kana lifupu lya kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri, su wafiruwa kutakula wantu wawili ama watatu, yumu pa yumonga, uganu paweri na muntu gwingi kagatakuliri galii gagatakulitwi.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the congregation, and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Handa kwahera muntu yakaweza kugatakulira galii gagatakulitwi mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira yesu, su ulii yakatakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri kanyamali na kalitakuliri mweni na Mlungu.
29 Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
Wantu wawili ama watatu yawapananitwi ujumbi wa Mlungu wautakuli na wamonga wagaloliloli weri galii gagatakulitwi na womberi.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Kumbiti muntu yumu pakatakula na muntu gwingi kapata ugubutula kulawa kwa Mlungu, su ulii yakatakula kanyamali.
31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
Mwawoseri mwenga muweza kupananwa ujumbi wa Mlungu muutakuli, yumu pa yumonga, su kila muntu hakalifundi na kupananwa moyu.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Lifupu lya kuwubwera ujumbi wa Mlungu lifiriziwa likolwimlima na ayu yakawera na lifupu ali,
33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the congregations of the kadoshim,
toziya Mlungu ndo Mlungu ndiri gwa ndewu, kumbiti kawera Mlungu gwa makolaniziwu na ponga. Ntambu yayiwera mushipinga shoseri sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu,
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.
wadala wanyamalili mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu. Womberi wafiruwa ndiri kutakula ama kulonguziya handa Malagaliru ga Wayawudi ntambu yagalonga.
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 congregation.
Handa womberi pawafira kuvimana visoweru vilii, wawakosiyi wapalu wawu ukaya. Toziya hayiweri soni kwa mdala kutakula mumkutanu wa mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
36 What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Hashi, mwankulihola shisoweru sha Mlungu shilawa kwa mwenga ama shiwayizira mwenga gweka yenu hera?
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.
Handa muntu yoseri kalihola kuwera yomberi kawera na lifupu lya kuwutakula ujumbi wa Mlungu ama kawera na lifupu lya Rohu, su kavimani kuwera aga ganuwalembelera mwenga ndo Lilagaliru lya Mtuwa.
38 But if someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
Kumbiti muntu yakagapikanira ndiri aga, su nakasherwa muntu ayu.
39 Therefore, my brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
Su hangu walongu wayangu, mfiruwa kuwera na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, kumbiti namuwalewelera wantu kutakula kwa luga zyazimanika ndiri.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Kumbiti goseri gatendeki kwa ligoya na kwa ntambu iherepa.
