1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.
Uwanze ulugano na tamani tee ekarama zwa rohoni, zaidi tee mpata afumye ulukuwo.
2 For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
Maana umwahale yayanga kuvahulugha sayanga na bhantu ayanga no Ngolobhe. Afwanaje nomo yahwelewa afwanaje ayanga amambo gagafisishe katika Roho.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and comfort, and consolation.
Lelo umwahale yafumya ukuwa, ayanga na bhantu na abhazenje abhapele umwoyo na abhafaliji.
4 He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
Umwahale yayanga lugha ahwizenga yoyo, nantele umwahale yafumya ukuwa ashizenga eshibhanza.
5 Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
Eshi etamani aje amwe mwenti myanje lulugha lelo zaidi yego etamani aje mfumyaie ukuwa. Umwahale yafumya ukuwe gosi ashile umwahale yayanga hu lugha (au abhaje uwafafanule), ili aje eshibhanza shipate azengwe.
6 But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
Lelo eshi, kolu ni yilombo bhane nkenenze hwilimwe na ayanje hu lugha, embabhavzwe yenu amwe? Sebwezizwe, esipokuwa eyanga namwe hwidala elye ufunuo, au hwidala elye enjele au ukuwa au hwidala elye isambelezwo.
7 Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
Nkashile evintu vyasevino womo nkashele efilimbi au eshinubi nkashele sezifumya izu zwazili payo, ibhamanyishewele aje huntushi hahahwanga?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?
Eshi nkashile ebhe endundwe ibhafumya izu lyaselimanyiha ni shanamna wele umntu abhamanye aje muda wele ungwa hwilenganye ungwa hwibho?
9 So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air.
Shesho na mwe. Nkamfumye humele izu lyasaliliwazi ni kwa namna wele aelewe yamyanga? Mwabha myanga, na nomo yabhabhelewe.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no [kind] is without signification.
Nemo ewasiwasi aje elugha nyinji aziminji munsi, na nemo hata emo yaselinemana.
11 If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me.
Antele nkebhe semenye imana eyelugha, ambabhe jenyi hwamwahale mwene yayanga wape yayanga abhabhe jenyi hwiline.
12 So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church.
Shesho na mwe. Afwatanaje mtamani tee alole ahavisye kikisye wa Roho, anzi aje mzidi tee alizenje ibhanza.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret.
Eshe, umwahale yayanga hu lugha na alabhe apewe afanule.
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Nkashele nkendabha hu lugha eroho yane elabha lelo enjele zwane sezinamadondo.
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.
Embombe yenu? Embalabhe huroho yane, antele embalabhe hunjele zwane. Imbatele huroho yane na mbatele hunjele zwane antele.
16 Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?
Antele nkalombe Ongolobhe huroho mwene yalijenyi abhahweteshewele “Amina” nofumya emwasalipa, wakoti sazimenye zwoyanda?
17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Antele lyoli awe usalifwa shinza, antele ula uwenje sazengwa.
18 I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all:
Ehusalifwa Ungolobhe afwatanaje eyanga hu lugha zaidi yamwene mwenti.
19 howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Lelo mwibhanza ni heri enjanje amanzu ngasanu hunjele zwane ili embamanyezwe abhaje, zaidi eyayanje enongwa kumi elfu hu lugha.
20 Brethren, be not children in mind: howbeit in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.
Nkolo no yilombo bhane, mgajebhe bhana katika asebhe hwenyu. Badala yakwe, mhwa vwanu nembibhi, bhanji neshi abhana abhela. Lelo katika asebhe hwenyu mubhe bhantu bhagosi.
21 In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.
Isibwilwe katika sheria hwabhantu abhe lugha ezwamwao na humalomu agajenyi embayanje na bhantu ebha. Wala antele sebhanza novwe ayanga uGosi.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying [is for a sign], not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.
Esho enjango mbonesyo sio hwabhalinalyeteho hwa bhala bha sebhamolyeteho lelo afumye ukuwe mboneseyo hwabhelyeteho elelo hwabhala bhabhali no lyeteho.
23 If therefore the whole church be assembled together, and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?
Eshi, nkebhe eshibhanza shonti shitangene pandwemo na bhonti bhayanga enjango na unjenyi na bhasebhali nolyeteho bhinjie, je sebhanzayanje aje namna azimu?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all;
Lelo nkebhe mwenti mfumya ukuwe yasali nolyeteho au unjenyi winjila abhavutwe nagonti gabhahovwe abhalongwe na gonti gagayangwa.
25 the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
Esiri ezwe mwoyo wakwe nkazifunuliwa. Amantikeo yakwe, wenzagagwa ahwina mehwinama na hupute Ongolobhe. Wenzaga humweteshe aje Ungolobhe alipamoja namwe.
26 What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
Henu hahafwata eshi nkolo no yilombo bhane? Namtangana pandwemo shila muntu ane Zaburi, ana sembelezwo ane mbonezwo ane njango au afasiri. Bhombi kila hantu ili mlizenje ibhanza.
27 If any man speaketh in a tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most three, and [that] in turn; and let one interpret:
Nkashile kila muntu ayanga hunjango, bhabhaje bhabhele au bhatatu na shila mntu shatanilane na umuntu lazima atafasiri haha ya ngwilye.
28 but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Lelo nkashile nomo umntu wa tafsiri, basi kila muntu akhale kati mhati mshibhanza. Basi kila muntu ayaje mwene hwa Ngolobhe.
29 And let the prophets speak [by] two or three, and let the others discern.
Na akuwabhabhele au bhatatu bhayanje bhamwa bhatejelezwaje ili bhafasiri shashiyangwilwe.
30 But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.
Lelo yakheye nkawafunuliwa ijambo katika huduma ulayayangaga apomaje kati.
31 For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted;
Afwatanaje shila muntu awezizwe afumye ukuwa amo baada ya wamwao ili aje shila muntu awezwe asambelele na bhonti bhawezwe apati omwoyo.
32 and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;
Afatanaje roho eya kuwazili pansi ya bhenyelezi bhabha kuwa.
33 for God is not [a God] of confusion, but of peace; as in all the churches of the saints.
Afwanaje Ungolobhe se Ngolobhe uwemabhibhi, bali we amani. Neshe sheli katika amabhanza gonti age bhelyeteho,
34 Let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.
Mhwanziwa abhashe bhakhala je kati mwibhanza afwanaje sebhahwanziwa ayanje. Baada yakwe bhawaziwa abhe bhanyekevu neshe esheria seyanga.
35 And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church.
Nkashile hahweli hahonti bhatamani asambele, basi bhabhabhoziwaje alume bhabho amwabho afwanaje soni hwa she ayaje mshibhanza.
36 What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?
Je izu elya Ngolobhe lyafumile hwilimwe? Je libhafishe amwe tu?
37 If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
Nkashele omuntu ahwilola aje wakuwe au wa rohoni iwanziwa agamanya amambo gembasimbila agaje ndajizwo ezwa Gosi.
38 But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Lelo nkasagamenye ega hayaleshi agajetambuliwe.
39 Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Esho basi kolo na yilombo bhane, anzi tee afumye ukuwa wala mgaje huzubhile umuntu yoyonti ayanje unjango.
40 But let all things be done decently and in order.
Lelo amambo gonti gabhombehaje huwinza na hutaratibu.
