1 Corinthians 14
1 Strive to possess love; and desire earnestly the spiritual gifts, but especially that of prophesying.
Mukangamala kuvya na uganu. Mewawa mkangamala kupata hipanji hingi vya chimpungu, neju chipanji cha kujova ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga
2 For he that speaketh in an [[unknown]] tongue speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one heareth; but in the Spirit he speaketh mysteries;
Mundu mweijova kwa luga ya chiyehe ijova lepi na vandu, nambu ilongela na Chapanga, mwene ijova kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi mambu gegafiyiki.
3 but he that prophesieth speaketh to men edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Nambu yula mweijova kwa ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga akuvajenga vandu, kwa kuvakangamalisa mitima na kuvapolesa mitima vandu.
4 He that speaketh in an [[unknown]] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
Mwailongela luga ya chiyehe akujijenga mwene. Nambu mweijova ujumbi kuhuma kwa vandu akuujenga msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
5 I would that ye all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, that the church may receive edification.
Hinu nigana mwavoha nyenye mujovai kwa luga ya chiyehe nambu niganili neju muvyai na uhotola wa kujova Ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga, ikita chabwina neju kuliku yula mundu yula mweijova luga ya chiyehe, mbaka avyaa mundu mweihotola kudandaula mambu ago gegijoviwa, ndi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu yijengewa.
6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by teaching?
Hinu valongo vangu, ngati nibwela kwinu na kulongela na nyenye kwa luga ya chiyehe yikuvaganisa kyani? Nakuvaganisa chindu chochoha, nambu ngati nikavadandaulila ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga amala mawuliwu nunuyu.
7 And even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, if they make no distinction in the sounds, how shall that be known which is piped or harped?
Ndi chayivii kwa vindu vyangali kuvya na wumi nambu vyaviwusa lwami ngati chitolilo amala kanjeke, wu, mundu ihotola wuli kumanya lunyimbu lwelukinwa ngati vindu vyenivyo viwusa lwami hotohoto pevitoviwa.
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle?
Kangi lipenenga likavembayi changali kulanda uyovalelu yaki, ndi linjolinjoli yoki mweakujitendekeha kwa ngondo?
9 So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall that be known which is spoken? For ye will be speaking into the air.
Mewawa na nyenye, ngati lulimi lwinu lujova lepi chindu changamanyikana yani mweihotola kumanya gemwijova? Malovi ginu yati giyaga pawaka.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and not one is without meaning.
Zivii luga zamahele pamulima na kawaka hati yimonga yangali mana.
11 If then I know not the meaning of the language, I shall be to him that speaketh a foreigner, and he that speaketh a foreigner to me.
Nambu yikavya nene nakumanya chailongela mundu yungi, nene myehe kwaki mewa mundu mwenuyo mewa ndi myehe kwangu.
12 So also ye, since ye are eager to possess spiritual gifts, be earnest to abound in them to the edification of the church.
Mewawa vandu nyenye, mwinogela kupewa njombi ya Mpungu, mkangamalayi kupata njombi za Mpungu Msopi muni kutangatila kujenga msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [[unknown]] tongue pray that he may interpret.
Hinu, mweilongela luga ya chiyehe ayupayi apatayi uhotola wa kuvadandaulila vandu gala geajovili.
14 For if I pray in an [[unknown]] tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Penilongela kwa luga ya chiyehe mpungu wangu ndi weukumuyupa Chapanga, nambu luhala lwangu nakuhengeka.
15 How stands 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.
Hinu nikita kyani? Yati nikumuyupa Chapanga kwa mpungu wangu, yati nimuyupa chapanga kangi kwa luhala, yati niyimba kwa mpungu wangu, mewa yati niyimba kangi kwa luhala lwangu.
16 Else, if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since he understandeth not what thou art saying?
Ukamsengusa Chapanga kwa mpungu waku, ihotola wuli mundu mwangali sadika mweavimngonganu kuyidikila luyupu lwaku lwa kusengusa kwa kujova “Ena,” Ngati nakumanya chewijova?
17 For thou indeed givest thanks well; but the other is not edified.
Hati ngati wihotola kumuyupa Chapanga chakaka kuvya kwa bwina, nambu kwa yungi kawaka chiyonjokesu.
18 I thank God, I speak in an [[unknown]] tongue more than ye all;
Nikumsengusa Chapanga kuvya nene nilongela kwa luga ya chiyehe kuliku mwavoha nyenye.
19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might also instruct others, than ten thousand words in an [[unknown]] tongue.
Nambu mungonganu wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu nigana kujova malovi mhanu gegimanyikana ndi nivawulayi vangi, kuliku kujova malovi gamahele neju ga luga ya chiyehe.
20 Brethren, do not become children in understanding; yet in malice be children, but in understanding be men.
Valongo vangu, mkoto kuhololeala ngati vana vadebe. Kuuvala uhakau, muvyai ngati vana vadebe, nambu pemwiholalela muvyai ngati vandu vavaha.
21 In the Law it is written: “With men of other tongues and with other lips will I speak to this people,
Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova. “BAMBU ijova, ‘Yati nilongela na vandu kwa luga ya chiyehe, yati nijova kwa milomo ya vayehe, yati nijova kwa vandu ava, pamonga na ago vandu avo, vakuniyuwanila lepi.’”
22 and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.” Wherefore the tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers, but for believers.
Hinu ndi, njombi ya kujova luga ya chiyehe ndi ulangisu, lepi ndava ya vandu vevisadika. Nambu kwa vala vangasadika, nambu njombi ya kujova ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga ndi ndava ya vala vevisadiki ndi lepi ndava ya vangasadika.
23 If therefore the whole church be assembled in one place, and all be speaking with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
Hinu, ngati msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu voha vakakonganeka pamonga, na voha vakatumbula kujova kwa luga za chiyehe, ngati vabwelili vangamanya na vandu vangali sadika, wu, yati vijova lepi kuvya nyenye mwipenga?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that is an unbeliever, or unlearned, he is convinced by all, he is searched through by all,
Nambu, voha ngati mwijova ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga, akabwela mundu mwangasadika, goha geiyuwana yati gakumlangisa uhakau waki mwene, na goha geiyuwana yati gemuhamula.
25 the secrets of his heart become manifest; and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and report that God is indeed within you.
Gegafiyiki mumtima waki yati gihumbuliwa, mwene yati akumfugamila na kumuyupa Chapanga ijova, “Chakaka Chapanga avi pamonga na nyenye apa!”
26 How is it then, brethren? When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a lesson of instruction, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation; let all things be done for edification.
Valongo vangu hinu nijova kyani? Pemwikonganeka pamonga kumuyupa Chapanga, mmonga ayimba lunyimbu na yungi awulayi na yungi avyai na ugubukulilu kuhuma kwa Chapanga na yungi avyai na luga ya chiyehe na yungi adandawulayi gegijovewa. Goha gavyai ndava ya kujenga msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
27 If any one speak in an [[unknown]] tongue, let it be by two, or, at the most, by three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Ngati mundu yoyo ijova kwa luga ya chiyehe, hinu vajovayi vandu vavili amala vadatu, ndi vajova mmonga mmonga, na avyayi mundu wa kudandaula geijova.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Nambu ngati kawaka mundu mwihotola kudandaula chila chechijoviwi mu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, nambu mwaijova luga ya chiyehe aguna pamngonganu, ndi ajovai na mtima waki mwene na Chapanga.
29 And of the prophets let two or three speak, and let the others judge;
Kuvala vala vevavi na chipanji kujova ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga, vajova vavili amala vadatu, na vangi vagalinga malovi ago.
30 if anything be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first speaker be silent.
Yikavya mundu mmonga peijova na yungi mweiyuwanila akapewayi ugubukulilu kuhuma kwa Chapanga, ndi yula mweatumbwili kujova aguna.
31 For one by one ye can all prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.
Muni mwavoha mwihotola kukokosa ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga, mmonga mmonga, muni mwavoha mujiwula na kukungamaliswa mtima.
32 And spirits of prophets are subject to prophets;
Njombi ya kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga ndi yiganikiwa utalaliwayi na yula mweavi na chipanji chenicho.
33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
Muni Chapanga lepi wa ngondo nambu ndi wa uteke. Ngati cheyivili mvelu pamngonganu wa vandu va Chapanga.
34 let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted them to speak, but they are to be in subjection, as also saith the Law.
Vadala viganikiwa kutama nuu mumsambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, pevikonganeka vene viyidakiliwa lepi kujova. Nambu viganikiwa kuyidakila ngati chegijova malagizu ga Vayawudi.
35 And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
Ngati vavi na makotesi ga kukota vavakotayi vagosi vavi kunyumba, muni soni kwa mdala kujova mungonganu wa msambi vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
36 What! Did the word of God come forth from you? Or did it come to you alone?
Wu, muholalela Lilovi la Chapanga lihumili kwinu nyenye amala livabwelili nyenye ndu?
37 If any one thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know surely that the directions I am writing to you are the Lord's;
Ngati mundu yoyoha iholalela kuvya mwene ndi mjumbi wa Chapanga amala avi na chipanji cha Mpungu Msopi, amanya aga genikuvayandikila nyenye ndi malagizu ga BAMBU.
38 but if any one be ignorant, let him be ignorant!
Nambu ngati mundu nakumanya genago, ndi, mundu akotoka kumtangatila mundu mwenuyo.
39 Wherefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues;
Hinu ndi, valongo vangu mganikiwa kuvya na mnogo neju wa kujova ujumbi wa Chapanga, nambu mkoto kumbesa mundu kujova kwa luga ya chiyehe.
40 but let all things be done becomingly, and in order.
Nambu mwavoha mkitayi kwa utopesa na kwa kulanda uyovelu.
