< 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].
Tao mihereꞌ fo esa sue-lai esa sia basa dalaꞌ ra. Huu nda hambu dalaꞌ laen manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ sa. Sangga dalaꞌ fo Lamatualain Dula-dalen fee nggi koasa ma babꞌanggi-babꞌaꞌeꞌ fo ama bisa tao dala-dala maloleꞌ. Boe ma malolen, naeni mete ma ama hambu babꞌanggi-babꞌaꞌeꞌ fo dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin.
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.
Huu mete ma atahori hambu babꞌanggi-babꞌaꞌeꞌ fo dui-bꞌengga pake dedꞌeat laen, Lamatualain Dula-dalen fee ne koasa fo nafadꞌe dalaꞌ feꞌe mana maꞌafuniꞌ. Ana nda olaꞌ no atahori laen sa, te ana olaꞌ noꞌ a Lamatualain. Nda hambu atahori mana raꞌabꞌue sia naa, rahine atahori naa oꞌolan sa.
Te mete ma atahori hambu babꞌanggi-babꞌaꞌeꞌ fo dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin, ana helu-fuli neu basa atahori mana sia naa ra. Ana nafefela atahori ra nemeheren neu Lamatualain, tao manggatee rala nara, boe ma tao namahoꞌo mana susa-sonaꞌ ra.
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].
Atahori mana olaꞌ nendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, tao maꞌadꞌere a aon. Te atahori mana olaꞌ dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin, ana tao maꞌadꞌere basa atahori mana maꞌabꞌueꞌ ra, naa fo basa atahori saraniꞌ dadꞌi maꞌadꞌere lenaꞌ.
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].
Au hiiꞌ a basa hei olaꞌ mendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen. Te au hii lenaꞌ fai, mete ma hei olaꞌ dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin. Huu atahori mana olaꞌ dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin, nggunan lenaꞌ mia atahori mana olaꞌ nendiꞌ a dedꞌeat laen. Mete ma hita olaꞌ tendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, naa maloleꞌ boe, sadꞌi hambu atahori rafadꞌe rahine dedꞌeat naa sosoan. No taꞌo naa, hehelu-fufuliꞌ a boe tao basa atahori saraniꞌ ra basa se rahine.
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]
Toronoo susue nggara, e! Duꞌa sobꞌa dalaꞌ ia. Onaꞌ au uma sia hei e, fo au olaꞌ endiꞌ dedꞌeat fo ama nda mihine sa, hei hambu onton saa? Nda hambu sa, to? Te mete ma au olaꞌ o nggi, malole lenaꞌ mete ma au dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun. Malole lenaꞌ au utudꞌu dalaꞌ fo maꞌahulun nda feꞌe manggareloꞌ sa. Malole lenaꞌ au tulun hei fo mihine dalaꞌ ra no maloleꞌ lenaꞌ fai. Malole lenaꞌ au fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ soꞌal Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan. Malole lenaꞌ au unori nggi. Naa, feꞌe naꞌena ngguna soaꞌ neu nggi, to?
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]
Onaꞌ naa boe no sudꞌi a saa mana maliiꞌ ra. Ara nda masodꞌaꞌ sa, ma ara tao liiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Pake sulin do, sasando do, gitar, te mete ma nda ubꞌa not na sa, na neꞌo atahori nda bisa rahine oi naꞌaminaꞌ sosodꞌat bee sa boe, to?
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]
Mete ma tao tarompet liin sambu-sambu na, taꞌo bee fo soldꞌadꞌu ra rena ma bubꞌuluꞌ fo rahehere reu ratati? Hokoꞌ, to?
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!
Hei o onaꞌ naa boe. Mete ma hei olaꞌ mendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, do olaꞌ mendiꞌ a dedꞌeat fo atahori nda rahine no matetuꞌ sa, naa onaꞌ hei olaꞌ mo anin. Parsumaꞌ a, huu atahori nda rahine masud ma sa!
10 There are many different languages in the world, and all of them convey meaning [LIT] [to the people who know those languages].
Hambu dedꞌeat mataꞌ hetar sia raefafoꞌ ia. Dedꞌeat ra esa-esaꞌ no eni sosoa-ndandaan!
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.
Te mete ma au nda uhine atahori laen dedꞌeat na sa, naa nda naꞌena sosoan saa fee au sa boe. Au nda uhine se sa, ma ara o nda rahine au sa boe. Hai esa mo esa dadꞌi onaꞌ atahori fuiꞌ ra.
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.
Hei o onaꞌ naa boe. Hei nau hambu koasa ma babꞌanggi-babꞌaꞌeꞌ mia Lamatualain. Naa malole. Te malole lenaꞌ hei tao mihereꞌ fo hambu koasa no babꞌanggi-babꞌaꞌeꞌ fo ama bisa pake fo tulun tao maꞌadꞌereꞌ neu atahori saraniꞌ hetar!
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.
Dadꞌi atahori mana olaꞌ nendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, malole lenaꞌ hule-oꞌe noꞌe Lamatualain fee ne babꞌanggi-babꞌaꞌeꞌ fo bisa nafadꞌe dedꞌeat laen naa sosoan.
14 If they pray in a language [MTY] [that they have not learned], their spirits are praying, but they are not using their minds.
Mete ma au hule-oꞌe endiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, au hule-oꞌe siaꞌ a rala ngga, te nda uhine ae au olaꞌ saa sa boe.
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].
Dadꞌi malolen, au tao taꞌo bee? Au pake ruꞌa se, te esa-esaꞌ no fain. Au ae hule-oꞌe endiꞌ a rala ngga. Ma au o ae hule-oꞌe endiꞌ dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ fo uhineꞌ a. Au ae koa-kio sia rala ngga neu Lamatualain endiꞌ sosodꞌa koa-kioꞌ. Boe ma au o bisa sodꞌa sosodꞌat endiꞌ dedꞌeat fo uhineꞌ a.
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!”
Huu mete ma ho pake dedꞌeat laen fo koa-kio Lamatualain mia rala ma, ma hambu atahori sia naa nda nahine dalaꞌ naa ra sa, taꞌo bee fo ana bisa ralaꞌ sa no nggo? Leleꞌ ho moꞌe makasi mbali Lamatualain mendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, taꞌo bee fo ana naꞌahei no nggo nae, “Naa, tebꞌe!” Nda bisa sa, to? Huu nda nahine dedꞌeam sa.
17 You may be thanking God very well, but you are not helping them.
Ho bisa moꞌe makasi mbali Lamatualain taꞌo naa. Te naa nda tao maꞌadꞌere atahori laen ralan sa.
18 I thank God that I speak in languages [MTY] [that I have not learned] more than any of you do.
Mbei ma hei nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa, te au olaꞌ endiꞌ dedꞌeat laen lenaꞌ basa nggi. Au oꞌe makasi mbali Lamatualain, huu Ana tao au bisa olaꞌ taꞌo naa.
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].
Te mete ma atahori mamahereꞌ ra raꞌabꞌue, malole lenaꞌ au olaꞌ endiꞌ a dedꞌeat eꞌekuꞌ dekeꞌ limaꞌ a, mana tao se bisa rahine, fo au unori se, afiꞌ losa au olaꞌ loa-naruꞌ endiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, ma pake dedꞌeat mana leꞌu-loloꞌ, fo ara nda rahine.
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!
Toronoo susue nggara e! Mete ma hei nau mihine sobꞌa dalaꞌ sa, na hei musi minori dudꞌuꞌa onaꞌ atahori lasiꞌ ra. Afiꞌ dudꞌuꞌa onaꞌ anadikiꞌ ra! Te neu dala deꞌulakaꞌ, hei musi onaꞌ anadikiꞌ, nda mana nahine tao dala deꞌulakaꞌ ra sa, huu rala nara meuꞌ.
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.
Sia Lamatualain Susura Meumaren, nenesuraꞌ oi: “Hita Lamatuan olaꞌ nae, ‘Au ae pake atahori mana olaꞌ nendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen ra, fo Au olaꞌ fee neu atahori nusa Israꞌel. Te mae au olaꞌ taꞌo bee boe o, ara nda nau rena Au sa.’”
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].
Huu naa, hei mita, mete ma atahori olaꞌ rendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, naa dadꞌi tanda fee atahori nda feꞌe ramahere Lamatuaꞌ sa, fo rita koasa Na. Naa nda tulun atahori mana ramahere ena neu Lamatuaꞌ sa. Te mete ma atahori olaꞌ dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin, naa tulun atahori mana ramahere ena neu E. Naa nda tulun atahori mana nda feꞌe ramahere neu E sa.
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]
Mete ma basa hei miꞌibꞌue, ma basa nggi olaꞌ mendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen-laen, ma atahori nda feꞌe mamahereꞌ ra sa, do atahori mana nda feꞌe nahine dalaꞌ ia ra sa, masoꞌ sia taladꞌa mara ena, na dei fo ara duꞌa taꞌo bee? Tantu ara rae, “Atahori mana sia ia ra ramulu ena!”
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].
Onaꞌ itaꞌ basa hei ola-olaꞌ dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin, ma atahori nda feꞌe namahere sa, do atahori nda feꞌe nahine dalaꞌ ia ra sa, ara masoꞌ risiꞌ hei taladꞌa mara. Tantu atahori naa nae rena saa fo hei ola-olaꞌ naa. Dadꞌi saa fo hei olaꞌ naa, natudꞌu sala-kilu nara, de ana nau paresaꞌ masodꞌan no lutuꞌ-leloꞌ.
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!”
Boe ma dala-dalaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ fo ana naꞌafuniꞌ sia ralan, dei fo tabuka fo basa atahori rahine. Basa ma atahori naa sendeꞌ lululanggan mbali Lamatualain nae, “Wee! Lamatualain sia taladꞌa mara ena!”
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.
Dadꞌi toronoo susue nggara, e! Leleꞌ hei miꞌibꞌue, atahori esa-esaꞌ no babꞌanggi-babꞌaꞌen. Ruma sodꞌa sosodꞌa koa-kio Lamatualain. Ruma ranori atahori soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ. Ruma fai rafadꞌe dalaꞌ mana mia Lamatualain, fo maꞌahulun feꞌe mana maꞌafuniꞌ a. Ruma olaꞌ rendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen. Boe ma ruma fai bisa rafadꞌe dedꞌeat naa sosoan. Basa dalaꞌ naa ra, ara musi tao fo tao maꞌadere atahori laen ra nemeheren.
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.
Mete ma hambu ruma hiiꞌ a olaꞌ rendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen, na naa malole. Te itaꞌ atahori rua do telu o, dai ena. Nda parlu atahori hetar sa. Esa olaꞌ basa, dei fo esa olaꞌ fai. Boe ma musi hambu atahori mana bisa nafadꞌe sira dedꞌean sosoan.
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].
Mete ma nda hambu atahori bisa nafadꞌe dedꞌeat naa sosoan sa, na, afiꞌ olaꞌ mendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen sia atahori hetar matan. Hela fo ara olaꞌ onaꞌ naa siaꞌ a rala nara. Sira o bisa olaꞌ ro Lamatualain onaꞌ naa boe.
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.
Leleꞌ ama miꞌibꞌue, mae atahori rua do telu o olaꞌ rafadꞌe Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin. Laen ra musi timba-tai malolole oꞌola nara.
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].
Te mete ma Lamatualain natudꞌu fo mihine dalaꞌ sa dalahulun feꞌe maꞌafuniꞌ, fee neu atahori esa mana endoꞌ rena sia naa, atahori naa musi nafadꞌe hehelu-fufuliꞌ na neu basa mana sia naa ra. Boe ma atahori mana olaꞌ sia mataꞌ musi naloeꞌ, fo fee kakaꞌeꞌ neu atahori mana feꞌe nema rena mia Lamatualain, fo ana olaꞌ.
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}.
Matetun, basa hei bisa dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin. Te helaꞌ atahori esa olaꞌ dei, dei fo feꞌe fee nonoon ena. No taꞌo naa, basa atahori bisa rena, basa se bisa ranori, ma ara bisa medꞌa rala nara boe manggatee lenaꞌ fai.
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].
Misinedꞌa te, atahori mana olaꞌ dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin, musi nauli nahine aon. Boe ma, esa bisa nahani esa, ma laen ra raꞌatataaꞌ rala aon.
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,
Te sia Lamatualain nda hambu nemue-neanggiꞌ sa. Basaꞌ e nenelinu-afiꞌ no maloleꞌ. Sia bee-bꞌee, mete ma atahori mamahereꞌ ra raꞌabꞌue, eni onaꞌ ia:
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].
Inaꞌ ra musi endoꞌ nee-nee. Sira afiꞌ olaꞌ naeꞌ. Musi tao rerenaꞌ neu malangga nara. Huu Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen olaꞌ naꞌo naa boe, to?
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].
De mete ma inaꞌ ruma rae ratane dalaꞌ esa, na, hela fo baliꞌ na natane siaꞌ a saon. Te mete ma inaꞌ ra ramue-raanggi sia ume hule-oꞌeꞌ a, naa tao neꞌemamaeꞌ a!
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].
Hei dudꞌuꞌa mara ona bee? Huu Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan nda nema mia nggi sa! Boe ma Dedꞌea-oꞌolan nda fee neuꞌ a hei mana sia kota Korintus sa! Dudꞌuꞌa malolole dei!
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.
Mete ma hambu atahori sa nae eni bisa dui-bꞌengga nala Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin, do, duꞌa oi eni simbo koasa mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen, na, eni mesaꞌ ne bubꞌuluꞌ, au mana suraꞌ dalaꞌ naa fee neu nggi na, hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa nda mia au sa, te parendaꞌ naa mia Yesus, hita Lamatuan.
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]).
Mete ma hambu atahori nda nau simbo dalaꞌ ia ra sa, na, ama afiꞌ simbo e boe.
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].
Toronoo susue nggara, e! Tao mihere no maꞌadꞌereꞌ fo hambu koasa dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin. Boe ma afiꞌ ena-ai atahori mae, sudꞌi boe olaꞌ mendiꞌ dedꞌeat laen fai.
40 But make sure [that] everything that you do [during the worship services] is done in a proper and orderly way.
Dadꞌi mete ma hei miꞌibꞌue, na, milalao basa dalaꞌ ia ra no matetuꞌ, tungga ndoon. Dalaꞌ esa laoꞌ dei, dei fo laen ra tungga. Milalao basa dalaꞌ ra no maloleꞌ. Afiꞌ mimue-mianggi.
