1 Corinthians 14
1 You must want to love others more [than you want anything else]. But you should [also] eagerly desire the abilities that [God’s] Spirit [gives to believers]. And you should desire most of all to have the ability to speak messages that come directly from God [MTY].
Tinguhaa ang gugma ug pagmainiton alang sa espirituhanon nga mga gasa, ilabina kay kamo kamo magapanagna.
2 [I say that] because those who speak messages that come directly from God [are speaking in languages that they and the other believers in the congregation know, and so] they are able to strengthen them [spiritually] and to encourage and comfort them. But those who speak in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned] are not speaking to people. Instead, they are [only] speaking to God. No one understands them. By [the power/guidance of God’s] Spirit (OR, From within [their own] spirit) they speak things that others do not know.
Tungod kay ang usa nga nagapanulti sa dila wala nakigsulti sa mga tawo kondili sa Dios. Kay walay nakasabot kaniya tungod kay siya nagasulti man sa tinago nga mga butang sa Espiritu.
Apan ang usa nga nagapanagna nakigsulti sa mga tawo aron sa pagpalig-on kanila, aron sa pagdasig kanila, ug sa paghupay kanila.
4 Those who speak in languages [that they have not learned] are receiving a blessing for themselves, but those who speak messages that come directly from God are giving a blessing to [all the believers in] the congregation [because they are speaking in a language that the congregation knows].
Ang usa nga nagsulti sa dila nagpalig-on sa iyang kaugalingon, apan ang usa nga nagapanagna magpalig-on sa simbahan.
5 I would like you all to have the ability to speak in languages [MTY] [you have not learned]. But I would like even more for you to have the ability to speak messages that come directly from God. People can speak messages in a language that they have not learned, but if there is no one there who can explain the meaning, that situation is not as helpful to the congregation as speaking messages that come directly from God [in the language that the congregation knows].
Karon nanghinaot ako nga kamong tanan makasulti sa mga pinulongan. Apan labaw pa niana, nanghinaot ako nga kamo makahimo sa pagpanagna. Ang nagapanagna labaw pa sa usa nga makasulti sa mga dila (gawas kung adunay usa nga maghubad aron nga ang simbahan malig-on).
6 My fellow believers, suppose I came and spoke to you in a language that none of you knows [and I did not explain the meaning of what I told you]. Even if I told you something that God had revealed to me, or told you some message that had come directly from him, or taught you something that you needed to know, (that certainly would not help you!/how would that help you?) [RHQ]
Apan karon, mga kaigsoonan, kung moanha ako kaninyo nga magsulti sa mga dila, unsa man ang matabang nako kaninyo? Wala, gawas kung magsulti ako kaninyo sa gipadayag, o kahibalo, o panagna, o pagtulon-an.
7 [It is like] lifeless [musical instruments], like flutes and harps for example. When they are played, if the notes are not played {if [those playing those instruments] do not play the notes} clearly, no one will know what tune is being played {what tune they are playing}. [RHQ]
Kung ang walay kinabuhi nga mga kasangkapan magtingog—sama sa plawta o alpa—ug dili kini mohimo ug nagkalainlaing tonada, unsaon man pagkahibalo ni bisan kinsa kung unsa nga tono ang ginatugtog sa plawta ug sa alpa?
8 If someone playing the trumpet [wants to signal that the soldiers should prepare to fight a battle], [the soldiers] certainly will not get ready if [the call to battle] is not played {he does not play [the call to battle]} clearly. [RHQ]
Kay kung ang trumpeta gipatugtog sa dili sakto nga tingog, unsaon man pagkahibalo ni bisan kinsa kung kanus-a ang takna sa pagpangandam sa gubat?
9 It is the same with you! If you do not speak words that other people can understand, (no one will know what you are saying./how will anyone know what you are saying?) [RHQ] [It will be as though] you are just speaking to the air!
Busa anaa kini kaninyo. Kung mosulti kamo ug pinulongan nga dili masabtan, unsaon man pagkasabot ni bisan kinsa kung unsa ang inyong giingon? Ikaw magasulti, ug walay makasabot kanimo.
10 There are many different languages in the world, and all of them convey meaning [LIT] [to the people who know those languages].
Adunay daghang nagkalain-lain nga mga pinulongan sa kalibotan ug ang tanan adunay ipasabot.
11 But if we do not understand the language that others are speaking, [it will be as though] they are foreigners to us, and we will be foreigners to them.
Apan kung wala ako makasabot sa usa ka pinulongan, mahimo akong usa ka langyaw sa mamumulong ug ang mamumulong mahimong usa ka langyaw kanako.
12 So [I say this to] you: Because you are eager to have the abilities that God’s Spirit gives, earnestly desire those abilities that will do the most to help [all the believers in] the congregation.
Sama usab kaninyo. Tungod kay mahinamon man kamo sa lihok sa Espiritu, pagmainiton aron modagaya ang paglig-on sa simbahan.
13 So, those who have the ability to speak in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned] should pray that [God will give them the ability to] explain the meaning of what they say.
Busa ang usa nga nagsulti sa dila kinahanglang mag-ampo nga siya makahubad.
14 If they pray in a language [MTY] [that they have not learned], their spirits are praying, but they are not using their minds.
Kay kung mag-ampo ako diha sa dila ang akong espiritu mag-ampo usab, apan ang akong hunahuna dili magmabungahon.
15 So I will tell you [RHQ] what we should do. [At times] we may pray, [using] only our spirits, [in languages we have not learned. And at other times] we should pray using our minds, [thinking about the words that we are praying. Similarly], at times we may sing using only our spirits, using languages that we have not learned, and at other times we should sing using our minds, [thinking about the words that we are singing].
Unsa man ang angay nakong buhaton? Mag-ampo ako pinaagi sa akong espiritu, apan mag-ampo usab ako pinaagi sa akong hunahuna. Moawit ako pinaagi sa akong espiritu, ug moawit usab ako pinaagi sa akong hunahuna.
16 Suppose that any one of you praises God (OR, thanks God for what he has done), using only your [(sg)] spirit [and not using your mind]. Maybe some people [will be present who] do not know about [the abilities that God’s Spirit gives to believers]. Because they do not know what you are saying, after you thank God, they will not [RHQ] know when to say “Amen!/I agree!”
Kay kondili, kung modayeg ka sa Dios pinaagi sa imong espiritu, unsaon man pag-ingon sa langyaw ug “Amen” sa dihang nagpasalamat ka kung wala siya makasabot sa imong gisulti?
17 You may be thanking God very well, but you are not helping them.
Kay igo na ang inyong pagpasamalat, apan ang ubang tawo wala nalig-on.
18 I thank God that I speak in languages [MTY] [that I have not learned] more than any of you do.
Nagpasalamat ako sa Dios nga nagasulti ako sa mga dila labaw pa kaninyong tanan.
19 But during a worship service, [in order that others will understand what I am saying], I would prefer to speak five words using my mind, in order that I may teach others, rather than to speak 10,000 words in a language [MTY] [that is not understood by the congregation].
Apan sa simbahan mas pilion ko pa nga pagsulti ug lima ka pulong nga akong masabtan aron nga ako makahimo sa pagpanudlo sa uban, kay sa 10, 000 ka mga pulong diha sa dila.
20 My fellow believers, stop being like little children in the way that you think [about these abilities that God’s Spirit gives]. Instead, think about them in a mature way. If you really want to be like little children, do as few wicked things as babies do!
Mga kaigsoonan, ayaw pagbinata sa inyong panghunahuna. Apan, sa pagkadaotan, pagpakasama kamo sa mga gagmay nga bata. Apan sa inyong panghunahuna kinahanglan nga hamtong.
21 [When the Jews long ago refused to obey God, he warned them about what would happen when he allowed their enemies to punish them]. In the Scriptures it is written {[the prophet Isaiah] wrote} what the Lord [God] said [about that], [They didn’t listen to prophets speaking their own language, so I will send] people from foreign [lands to attack] my people. Those foreigners will speak languages that my people do not know [DOU]. [In that way], I will warn my people, but they will still not pay attention to what I say.
Sa balaod kini nahisulat, “Pinaagi sa mga tawo nga adunay laing mga pinulongan ug pinaagi sa mga ngabil sa mga langyaw makigsulti ako niining mga tawhana. Bisan pa niana dili nila ako madunggan,” nag-ingon ang Ginoo.
22 If we speak in languages [MTY] [that we have not learned], unbelievers [who are there will realize that the Spirit of God is truly among us]. That will warn them [that they need to fear God]. But believers do not [need such a warning].
Busa ang mga dila mao ang mga timaan, dili sa mga magtutuo, apan sa dili magtutuo. Apan ang pagpanagna usa ka timaan, dili sa dili magtutuo, apan sa magtutuo.
23 Suppose during the worship service everyone started to speak in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned]. If unbelievers or people who do not know [about the abilities that God’s Spirit gives to believers] come in [and hear that], they will surely think that you are crazy. [RHQ]
Busa, kung ang tibuok simbahan managtigom ug ang tanan magsulti sa mga dila, ug mosulod ang tagagawas ug ang dili magtutuo, dili ba sila moingon nga nangabuang na kamo?
24 But if an unbeliever or someone who does not know [about those abilities] comes in while all of you believers are [one by one] speaking messages that come directly from God, everything that you [say] will show that person that he is a sinner and that [God] will punish him [if he does not turn from his sinful behavior].
Apan kung kamong tanan managna unya mosulod ang dili magtutuo o tagagawas, matandog siya sa tanan nga iyang madungog. Mahukman siya sa tanan nga gipang-ingon.
25 He will realize that [God knows the evil things that he has done that], things that other people do not know. Then he will kneel down and worship God and say, “God is truly among you!”
Ang tinago sa iyang kasingkasing mahimong mapagawas. Tungod niana, moyukbo siya ug mosimba sa Dios. Mopahayag siya nga ang Dios anaa gayod taliwala kaninyo.
26 So, my fellow believers, I will tell you [RHQ] what I think that you should be doing. When you come together [to worship God], some of you may have a hymn to sing. Others may have something to teach [the congregation]. Others may have [something to say that God has] revealed to them. Others may give messages in languages [that they have not learned]. Others will explain the meaning of those messages. Make sure that all of these things that you do will make the congregation become more mature spiritually.
Unya unsa man ang sunod mga kaigsoonan? Kung magtigom kamo, ang matag usa adunay usa ka salmo, usa ka pagtulon-an, usa ka pagpadayag, usa ka pinulongan, o usa ka pagsabot. Buhata ang tanan aron nga malig-on ang simbahan.
27 [It is all right] if two people, or at the most three people, speak in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned]. But they must speak one at a time, and someone must explain the meaning of what the others have said.
Kung adunay magapanulti sa dila, duha o tulo ra ang pinakadaghan, ug sila magpulihanay. Ug kinahanglan nga adunay mohubad kung unsa ang naingon.
28 If [those who want to speak in a language that they have not learned realize that] there is no one [there] who will be able to explain the meaning [of what they will say], they should not speak in that language during the meeting. Instead, they should speak to God by themselves, [somewhere else].
Apan kung walay mohubad, pahiloma silang tanan diha sa simbahan. Pasultiha ang matag usa kanila sa ilang kaugalingon ngadto sa Dios.
29 [During a meeting], two or three people should speak messages that come directly from God, and others who are there should think carefully about what those people have said.
Pasultiha ang duha o tulo ka mga propeta, ug papaminawa ang ubang tawo uban sa pag-ila kung unsa ang giingon.
30 If someone receives a new message directly from God while someone else is speaking, the one who is speaking should stop speaking [and let the other person tell what God has revealed to him].
Apan kung ang panglantaw gihatag sa usa nga naglingkod sa panagtigom, pahiloma ang usa nga nag-istorya.
31 You can all, one by one, speak messages that have come directly from God, in order that you can teach others and all be encouraged {encourage everyone}.
Kay ang matag usa kaninyo mahimong isa-isa nga managna aron ang tanan makakat-on ug ang tanan madasig.
32 Those who speak messages that come directly from God are in control of their own spirits, [so they can wait for their turn to speak].
Kay ang mga espiritu sa mga propeta anaa sa pagdumala sa mga propeta.
33 Remember that God does not desire that things be done in a disorderly way [during your worship services]. Instead, he desires that everything be done in an orderly way. Just like it happens in all the other congregations of believers,
Kay ang Dios dili Dios sa kalibog, kondili sa kalinaw. Ug diha sa tanang mga simbahan sa tanang mga magtutuo,
34 the women should not be permitted {do not permit the women} [to interrupt the meeting by] asking [questions]. They must keep quiet. They must be subject [to their husbands]. What Moses wrote [PRS] [about how God created the first two people] suggests [that the women should do that].
kinahanglan nga ang mga babaye magpabilin nga hilom sa kasimbahanan. Kay wala sila gitugotan sa pagsulti. Hinuon, kinahanglan nga sila magpadumala, sama sa giingon sa balaod.
35 If they want to know [more] about something [that a speaker said], they should ask their husbands when they get home, for it is disgraceful for women to [interrupt a service by] asking [such questions].
Kung aduna silay gitinguha nga makat-onan, papangutan-a sila sa ilang mga bana sa balay. Kay makauulaw kini alang sa usa ka babaye nga mosulti sa simbahan.
36 [If you do not agree with these things that I have been telling you], remember that [RHQ] the message from God did not first come from you [people in Corinth]. Also, you are not [RHQ] the only ones who have heard it! [Many others have heard it and accepted it, so you should not act as though you are the only believers who have heard the message from God].
Ang pulong ba sa Dios naggikan kaninyo? Kamo lamang ba ang naabtan niini?
37 Those of you who think that you have the ability to speak messages that come directly from God, or think that you have some other ability [that God’s] Spirit gives, should realize that the things that I have written about in this letter are things that the Lord has commanded.
Kung adunay naghunahuna sa iyang kaugalingon nga siya usa ka propeta o espirituhanon, kinahanglan nga ilhon niya nga ang mga butang nga akong gisulat kaninyo mao ang mando sa Ginoo.
38 But if they are not willing to accept [my authority], [God] will not accept them (OR, they will not be accepted [by the congregation]).
Apan kung adunay dili moila niini, ayaw usab siya ilha.
39 So, my fellow believers, be eager to speak messages that come directly from God, and do not prevent anyone from speaking in a language [that he has not learned].
Busa, mga kaigsoonan, tinguhaa gayod ang gasa sa pagpanagna ug ayaw dumilii ang uban sa pagsulti diha sa mga dila.
40 But make sure [that] everything that you do [during the worship services] is done in a proper and orderly way.
Apan himoa nga ang tanang mga butang mabuhat sa han-ay ug sa hustong paagi.
