1 Corinthians 14
1 Seek this love earnestly, and strive for spiritual gifts, above all for the gift of preaching.
Gun-odem ti ayat ken agbalinka a naregta nga umawat kadagiti naespirituan a sagsagut, nangnangruna tapno makaipadtokayo.
2 The person who, when speaking, uses the gift of “tongues” is speaking, not to people, but to God, for no one understands them; yet in spirit they are speaking of hidden truths.
Ta ti agsasao iti sabali a pagsasao ket saan a makikatkatungtong kadagiti tattao no diket iti Dios. Ta awan ti siasinoman a makaaw-awat kenkuana gapu ta ibagbagana dagiti naidulin a banbanag ti Espiritu.
3 But those who preach are speaking to their fellow men and women words that will build up faith, and give them comfort and encouragement.
Ngem ti agipadpadto ket makikatkatungtong kadagiti tattao tapno papigsaen, pabilgen ken tapno liwliwaenna ida.
4 Those who, when speaking, use the gift of “tongues” builds up their own faith, while those who preach build up the faith of the church.
Ti agsao iti sabali a pagsasao ket papigsaenna ti bagina ngem ti maysa nga agipadpadto ket pappapigsaenna ti iglesia.
5 Now I want you all to speak in “tongues,” but much more I wish that you should preach. A preacher is worth more than one who speaks in “tongues,” unless they interprets their words, so that the faith of the church may be built up.
Ita tarigagayak nga agsaokayo amin iti sabali a pagsasao. Ngem iti nalablabes pay iti dayta, tarigagayak nga agipadtokayonto. Natantan-ok ti maysa nga agipadpadto ngem ti agsasao iti sabali a pagsasao (malaksid no adda iti mangipakaawat), tapno mapapigsa ti iglesia.
6 This being so, friends, what good will I do you, if I come to you and speak in “tongues,” unless my words convey some revelation, or knowledge, or take the form of preaching or teaching?
Ngem ita kakabsat, no umayak kadakayo nga agsasao iti sabali a pagsasao, kasanokayo a maikkan iti pagimbagan? Saankayo a maikkan iti pagimbagan, malaksid no agsaoak kadakayo nga addaan iti paltiing, wenno pannakaamo, wenno padto, wenno panursuro.
7 Even with inanimate things, such as a flute or a harp, though they produce sounds, yet unless the notes are quite distinct, how can the tune played on the flute or the harp be recognised?
No awan ti bukod nga uni dagiti awan biagna nga instrumento a kas iti plauta wenno arpa, kasanonto a maammoan ti siasinoman no ania nga instrumento ti matuktukar?
8 If the bugle sounds a doubtful call, who will prepare for battle?
Ta no sabsabali ti uni ti napuyotan a trumpeta, kasanonto a maammoan iti siasinoman no tiempon iti panagsagana iti gubat?
9 And so with you; unless, in using the gift of “tongues,” you utter intelligible words, how can what you say be understood? You will be speaking to the winds!
Isu a kasta met kadakayo. No agibagakayo iti sasao a saan a maawatan, kasanonto a maawatan ti siasinoman ti imbagam? Agsasaokanto, ket awanto ti siasinoman a makaawat kenka.
10 There are, for instance, a certain number of different languages in the world, and not one of them fails to convey meaning.
Awan duadua nga adu ti nadumaduma a pagsasao iti lubong, ken awan ti awanan ti kaipapanan.
11 If, however, I do not happen to know the language, I will be a foreigner to those who speak it, and they will be foreigners to me.
Ngem no saanko nga ammo ti kayat a sawen ti pagsasao, agbalinakto a ganganaet iti agsasao ken agbalinto met a gangannaet kaniak ti agsasao.
12 And so with you; since you are striving for spiritual gifts, be eager to excel in such as will build up the faith of the church.
Kasta met kadakayo. Agsipud ta nagagarkayo iti pakakitaan ti panagtrabaho ti Espiritu, agbalinkayo a naregta iti panagtrabahoyo a mangpapigsa iti iglesia.
13 Therefore anyone who, when speaking, uses the gift of “tongues” should pray for ability to interpret them.
Isu a masapul nga agkararag ti agsasao iti sabali a pagsasao tapno makaipakaawat isuna.
14 If, when praying, I use the gift of “tongues,” my spirit indeed prays, but my mind is a blank.
Ta no agkararagak iti sabali a pagsasao, agkarkararag ti esprituk ngem saan a nabunga ti panunotko.
15 What, then, is my conclusion? Simply this – I will pray with my spirit, but with my mind as well; I will sing with my spirit, but with my mind as well.
Ania ngarud ti aramidek? Agkararagak iti espirituk, ngem agkararagak met laeng iti panunotko. Agkantaak iti espirituk ken agkantaak met laeng iti panunotko.
16 If you bless God with your spirit only, how can people in the congregation who are without your gift say “Amen” to your thanksgiving? They do not know what you are saying!
Ta no saan, no dayawem ti Dios iti espiritum, kasano a maibaga dagiti taga ruar ti “Amen” no mangmangtedka iti panagyaman, no saanna nga ammo no ania ti ibagbagam?
17 Your thanksgiving may be excellent, but the other is not helped by it.
Ta pudno a nagyamanka, ngem saan a napapigsa ti sabali a tao.
18 Thank God, I use the gift of “tongues” more than any of you.
Agyamanak iti Dios ta ad-adda a makasaoak iti sabali a pagsasao ngem iti amin kadakayo.
19 But at a meeting of the church I would rather speak five words with my mind, and so teach others, than ten thousand words when using the gift of “tongues.”
Ngem iti iglesia, kaykayatko pay nga agibagaak laeng iti lima a sasao a maaw-awatak tapno maisurok dagiti dadduma, ngem iti sangapulo a ribo a sasao iti sabali a pagsasao.
20 My friends, do not show yourselves children in understanding. In wickedness be infants, but in understanding show yourselves adults.
Kakabsat, saankayo nga agbalin nga ubbing iti panagpanunotyo. Ngem ketdi, no maipapan iti dakes, agbalinkayo a kasla maladaga. Ngem agbalinkayo a nataengan iti panagpanunotyo.
21 It is said in the Law – “In strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”
Naisurat iti linteg, “Babaen kadagiti pagsasao dagiti gangannaet ken babaen kadagiti bibig dagiti gangannaet, agsaoakto kadagitoy a tattao. Uray no kasta saandakto a denggen,” kinuna ti Apo.
22 Therefore the gift of the “tongues” is intended as a sign, not for those who believe in Christ, but for those who do not, while the gift of preaching is intended as a sign, not for those who do not believe in Christ, but for those who do.
Ngarud, pagilasinan dagiti sabali a pagsasao, saan a para kadagiti namati, no di ket kadagiti saan a namati. Ngem ti panangipadpadto ket para iti pagilasinan, saan a para kadagiti saan a namati, no di ket para kadagiti namati.
23 So, when the whole church meets, if all present use the gift of “tongues,” and some people who are without the gift, or who are unbelievers, come in, will not they say that you are mad?
Ngarud no aguummong ti sibubukel nga iglesia ken agsaoda amin iti sabali a pagsasao ket umay dagiti taga ruar ken saan a namati, saandanto kadi nga ibaga nga agmauyongkayo?
24 While, if all those present use the gift of preaching, and an unbeliever, or someone without the gift, comes in, they are convinced of their sinfulness by them all, they are called to account by them all;
Ngem no agipadpadtokayo amin ket adda sumrek a saan a namati wenno taga ruar, matignay isuna babaen kadagiti amin a mangngeganna. Maukomto isuna babaen kadagiti amin a naibaga.
25 the secrets of their heart are revealed, and then, throwing themselves on their face, they will worship God, and declare “God is indeed among you!”
Maiparangto dagiti palimed iti pusona. Kas pagbanaganna, agpaklebto isuna ken agrukbab iti Dios. Iwaragawagnanto a pudno nga adda ti Dios kadakayo.
26 What do I suggest, then, friends? Whenever you meet for worship, each of you comes, either with a hymn, or a lesson, or a revelation, or the gift of “tongues,” or the interpretation of them; let everything be directed to the building up of faith.
Ania ngarud ti sumaruno kakabsat? No agkakadduakayo, addaan ti psalmo ti tunggal maysa, sursuro, paltiing, sabali a pagsasao wenno panangipakaawat. Aramidenyo amin a banag tapno mapapigsayo ti iglesia.
27 If any of you use the gift of “tongues,” not more than two, or at the most three, should do so – each speaking in his turn – and someone should interpret them.
No agsao ti siasinoman iti sabali a pagsasao, rumbeng nga adda ti dua wenno tallo ken agsisinnublatda. Ken rumbeng nga adda ti maysa a mangipakaawat iti aniaman a naibaga.
28 If there is no one able to interpret what is said, they should remain silent at the meeting of the church, and speak to themselves and to God.
Ngem no awan ti siasinoman a mangipakaawat, agulimek koma ti tunggal maysa kadakuada iti iglesia. Bay-anyo ti tunggal maysa ket makitungtong iti bukodna a bagi ken ti Dios.
29 Of preachers two or three should speak, and the rest should weigh well what is said.
Bay-anyo nga agsao ti dua wenno tallo a profeta, ken bay-anyo a dumngeg dagiti dadduma nga addaan iti pannakaammo iti naibaga.
30 But, if some revelation is made to another person as he sits there, the first speaker should stop.
Ngem no adda naited a kapanunotan iti maysa nga agtugtugaw iti serbisyo, masapul nga agulimek ti agsasao.
31 For you can all preach in turn, so that all may learn some lesson and all receive encouragement.
Ta mabalin nga agipadto a saggaysa ti tunggal maysa kadakayo tapno makasursuro ti tunggal maysa ken mapabileg iti amin.
32 (The spirit that moves the preachers is within the preachers’ control;
Ta ti espiritu dagiti profeta ket adda iti tengngel dagiti profeta.
33 for God is not a God of disorder, but of peace.) This custom prevails in all the churches of Christ’s people.
Ta ti Dios ket saan a Dios iti riribok, ngem iti kappia. Kas kadagiti amin nga iglesia dagiti namati,
34 At the meetings of the church married women should remain silent, for they are not allowed to speak in public; they should take a subordinate place, as the Law itself directs.
masapul nga agulimek dagiti babbai kadagiti iglesia. Ta saanda a mapalubosan nga agsao. Ngem ketdi, rumbeng nga agpaiturayda, kas imbaga ti linteg.
35 If they want information on any point, they should ask their husbands about it at home; for it is unbecoming for a married woman to speak at a meeting of the church.
No adda ti aniaman a banag a kayatda a maammoan, masapul a damagenda koma kadagiti asawada iti pagtaenganda. Ta pakaibabainan ti panagsao iti babai iti iglesia.
36 What! Did God’s message to the world originate with you? Or did it find its way to none but you?
Naggapu kadi ti sao ti Dios kadakayo? Dakayo laeng kadi ti nakadanonanna?
37 If anyone thinks that he has the gift of preaching or any other spiritual gift, he should recognise that what I am now saying to you is a command from the Lord.
No ipagarup ti siasinoman nga isuna ket profeta wenno naespirituan, masapul a bigbigenna a bilin ti Apo dagiti banbanag nga isursuratko kadakayo.
38 Anyone who ignores it may be ignored.
Ngem no saan a bigbigen ti siasinoman daytoy, bay-anyo a saan isuna a mabigbig.
39 Therefore, my friends, strive for the gift of preaching, and yet do not forbid speaking in “tongues.”
Ngarud kakabsat, tarigagayanyo a sipapasnek ti panangipadto, ken saanyo a lapdan ti siasinoman nga agsao kadagiti sabali a pagsasao.
40 Let everything be done in a proper and orderly manner.
Ngem maaramid koma amin a banag iti kinatakneng ken naurnos.
