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].
१प्रीती हे तुमचे ध्येय असू द्या आणि आत्मिक दानांची विशेषतः तुम्हास संदेश देता यावा याची मनापासून इच्छा बाळगा.
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.
२ज्याला इतर भाषांमध्ये बोलण्याचे दान आहे तो खरे पाहता मनुष्यांबरोबर बोलत नाही तर देवाबरोबर बोलतो कारण तो काय बोलतो हे कोणालाही कळत नाही. पवित्र आत्म्याच्याद्वारे तो गुढ गोष्टी बोलतो.
३परंतु जो संदेश देतो तो लोकांशी बोध, उन्नती व सांत्वन याविषयी बोलतो,
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].
४ज्याला दुसऱ्या भाषेत बोलण्याचे दान आहे, तो स्वतःचीच आध्यात्मिकदृष्ट्या उन्नती करून घेतो, पण ज्याला संदेश देण्याचे दान आहे तो संपूर्ण मंडळीची उन्नती करतो.
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].
५तुम्ही सर्वांनी अन्य भाषेत बोलावे, पण विशेषतः तुम्ही संदेश द्यावेत अशी माझी इच्छा आहे कारण जो कोणी अन्य भाषांत बोलतो, त्याच्यापेक्षा जो संदेश देतो तो मोठा आहे. यासाठी की, मंडळीची उन्नती व्हावी.
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]
६आता, बंधूनो, जर मी तुमच्याकडे अन्य भाषा बोलण्यासाठी आलो तर तुमचा कसा फायदा होईल? तुमचा फायदा होण्यासाठी मी तुमच्याकडे प्रकटीकरण, दैवी ज्ञान, देवाकडून संदेश किंवा शिकवणूक आणायला नको का?
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]
७हे निर्जीव वस्तू उदा. बासरी, वीणा यासारखे आवाज काढण्यासारखे आहे जर ते वाद्य ते निर्माण करीत असलेल्या वेगवेगळ्या आवाजातील फरक स्पष्ट करीत नाही, तर एखाद्याला बासरीवर किंवा वीणेवर कोणते संगीत वाजवले जात आहे ते कसे कळेल?
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]
८आणि जर कर्णा अस्पष्ट आवाज काढील तर लढाईसाठी कोण तयार होईल?
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!
९त्याचप्रमाणे सहज समजेल अशा भाषेतून बोलल्याशिवाय तुम्ही काय बोलला हे कोणाला कसे समजेल? कारण तुम्ही हवेत बोलल्यासारखे होईल.
10 There are many different languages in the world, and all of them convey meaning [LIT] [to the people who know those languages].
१०निःसंशय, जगात पुष्कळ प्रकारच्या भाषा आहेत व कोणतीही अर्थविरहीत नाही.
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.
११म्हणून जर मला भाषेचा अर्थ समजला नाही तर जो बोलत आहे त्याच्यासाठी मी विदेशी ठरेन व जो बोलणारा आहे तो माझ्यासाठी विदेशी होईल.
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.
१२नक्की तेच तुम्हासही लागू पडते जर तुम्ही आध्यात्मिक दाने मिळवता म्हणून उत्सुक आहात तर मंडळीच्या उन्नतीसाठी, मंडळीला आध्यात्मिक मजबूती येण्यासाठी जोरदार प्रयत्न करा.
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.
१३म्हणून, जो अन्य भाषेत बोलतो त्याने तो जे बोलला आहे त्याचा अर्थ सांगता यावा म्हणून प्रार्थना करावी.
14 If they pray in a language [MTY] [that they have not learned], their spirits are praying, but they are not using their minds.
१४कारण जर मी अन्य भाषेतून प्रार्थना केली तर माझा आत्माही प्रार्थना करतो पण माझी बुद्धी निष्फळ राहते.
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].
१५मग काय केले पाहिजे? मी माझ्या आत्म्याने प्रार्थना करीन पण त्याचप्रमाणे मी माझ्या बुद्धीनेही प्रार्थना करीन.
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!”
१६कारण जर तू तुझ्या आत्म्याने देवाचे धन्यवाद करशील तर जो ऐकणारा सामान्य व्यक्ती तेथे बसला असेल तर तो तुझ्या उपकारस्तुतीच्या प्रार्थनेत “आमेन” कसे म्हणेल? कारण तू काय म्हणतोस ते त्यास कळत नाही.
17 You may be thanking God very well, but you are not helping them.
१७कारण तू उपकारस्ती चांगली करतोस, खरे हे चांगले आहे तरी त्याने दुसर्‍याची उन्नती होत नाही.
18 I thank God that I speak in languages [MTY] [that I have not learned] more than any of you do.
१८मी देवाचे उपकार मानतो, कारण मी तुम्हा सर्वांपेक्षा अधिक भाषा बोलतो.
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].
१९पण मी मंडळीत अन्य भाषेत दहा हजार शब्द बोलण्यापेक्षा, दुसर्‍यांनाही शिकवावे म्हणून, मी माझ्या बुद्धीने पाच शब्द बोलावे हे मला बरे वाटते.
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!
२०बंधूनो, तुम्ही विचार करण्यात मुलासारखे असू नका. त्याऐवजी दुष्टतेच्या बाबतीत लहान बाळासारखे निरागस परंतु आपल्या विचारात प्रौढ व्हा.
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.
२१नियमशास्त्र म्हणते, “इतर भाषा बोलणाऱ्याचा उपयोग करून व अन्य भाषेने मी या लोकांशी बोलेन तरीसुद्धा ते माझे ऐकणार नाहीत.” हे असे प्रभू म्हणतो.
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].
२२म्हणून इतर भाषांमध्ये बोलण्याचे दान हे विश्वास ठेवणाऱ्यांसाठी नसून अविश्वासणाऱ्यांसाठी चिन्हादाखल आहे.
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]
२३म्हणून जर संपूर्ण मंडळी एकत्र येते व प्रत्येकजण दुसऱ्या भाषेत बोलत असेल आणि जर एखादा बाहेरचा किंवा अविश्वासणारा आत आला, तर तुम्ही वेडे आहात असे ते तुम्हास म्हणणार नाही का?
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].
२४परंतु जर प्रत्येकजण संदेश देऊ लागला आणि जर अविश्वासणारा किंवा बाहेरचा आत आला, तर सर्वजण जे बोलत असतील त्यामुळे त्या ऐकणाऱ्याला त्याच्या पापाची जाणीव होते, ते सर्व त्याचा न्याय करतात;
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!”
२५त्याच्या अंतःकरणातील गुपिते माहीत होतात आणि मग तो पालथा पडतो आणि देवाची उपासना करतो व म्हणतो “खरोखर देव तुमच्यामध्ये आहे” तुमच्या भेटींनी मंडळीला मदत व्हावी.
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.
२६बंधूंनो मग काय? तुम्ही एकत्र जमता तेव्हा तुमच्यापैकी प्रत्येकजण कोणी स्तोत्र गाण्यास, कोणी शिक्षण देण्यास, कोणी प्रकटीकरण सांगण्यास, कोणी अन्य भाषेतून बोलण्यास, तर कोणी अर्थ सांगण्यास तयार असतो. सर्वकाही मंडळीच्या उन्नतीसाठी असावे.
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.
२७जर कोणी अन्य भाषेत बोलणार असेल तर दोघांनी किंवा जास्तीत जास्त तिघांनी बोलावे, एकावेळी एकानेच बोलावे आणि एका व्यक्तीने त्या बोलण्याचा अर्थ सांगावा.
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].
२८जर मंडळीत अर्थ सांगणारा कोणी नसेल तर अन्य भाषा बोलणाऱ्याने सभेत गप्प बसावे, स्वतःशी व देवाशी बोलावे.
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.
२९दोघा किंवा तिघांनी संदेश द्यावा व इतरांनीही ते काय बोलतात याची परीक्षा करावी.
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].
३०बसलेल्यांपैकी एखाद्या व्यक्तीला जर काही प्रकट झाले तर पहिल्या संदेश देणाऱ्याने गप्प बसावे.
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}.
३१जर तुम्हा सर्वांना संदेश देता येत असेल, तर एकावेळी एकानेच बोलावे, यासाठी की सर्वजण शिकतील, सर्वांना बोधपर मार्गदर्शन मिळेल.
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].
३२जे आत्मे संदेष्ट्यांना प्रेरणा देतात, ते त्या संदेष्ट्यांच्या स्वाधीन असतात.
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,
३३कारण देव हा बेशिस्तपणा आणणारा नसून, शांती आणणारा देव आहे. जशा सर्व मंडळ्या देवाच्या पवित्र लोकांच्या बनलेल्या असतात.
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].
३४स्त्रियांनी मंडळीत शांत रहावे, कारण त्यांना मंडळीत बोलण्याची परवानगी देण्यात आलेली नाही, कारण नियमशास्त्रसुद्धा असेच म्हणते.
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].
३५त्यांना जर काही शिकायचे असेल तर त्यांनी स्वतःच्या पतीला घरी विचारावे कारण स्त्रीने मंडळीत बोलणे हे तिला लज्जास्पद आहे.
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].
३६देवाचे वचन तुम्हांपासून निघाले आहे काय? किंवा ते फक्त तुमच्यापर्यंतच आले आहे काय?
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.
३७एखादा जर स्वतःला संदेष्टा समजत असेल किंवा जर तो आत्मिक मनुष्य असेल तर त्याने हे ओळखले पाहिजे की, जे मी तुम्हास लिहित आहे ती परमेश्वराकडून देण्यात आलेली आज्ञा आहे.
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]).
३८परंतु जर कोणी हे मानत नसेल, तर न मानो.
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].
३९म्हणून माझ्या बंधूनो संदेश देण्यासाठी उत्सुक असा, अन्य भाषेत बोलणाऱ्याला मना करू नका.
40 But make sure [that] everything that you do [during the worship services] is done in a proper and orderly way.
४०तर सर्व गोष्टी योग्य रीतीने आणि व्यवस्थित असाव्यात.
