1 Corinthians 14
1 Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,
Ke ma inge, lungse pa kowos ac kwafe kowos nu kac. Kowos in oayapa kwafe kowos nu ke mwe sang lun ngun, yokna ke mwe sang lun sulkakin kas lun God.
2 for he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue — to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;
Mwet se ma kaskaskin siena kain pusra el tia kaskas nu sin mwet uh a nu sin God, mweyen wangin mwet kalem kac. El kaskas ke ma lukma ke ku lun Ngun.
3 and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;
Tusruktu mwet se su sulkakin kas lun God el kaskas nu sin mwet uh ke kas in kasrelos, kas in akkeyalos, ac kas in akwoyalos.
4 he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;
Mwet se ma kaskaskin siena kain pusra el kasrel sifacna, a mwet se ma sulkakin kas lun God el kasru mwet nukewa su tukeni in church.
5 and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.
Wo sik kowos nukewa in kaskaskin siena kain pusra; a wo liki na tuh in oasr mwe sang yuruwos in sulkakin kas lun God. Tuh yohk sripen mwet se su sulkakin kas lun God liki el su kaskaskin siena kain pusra — sayen fin oasr sie su ku in aketeya ma el fahk, tuh church nufon sac fah eis kasru kac.
6 And now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching?
Ke ma inge, mwet wiuk in lulalfongi, nga fin fahsrot nu yuruwos, ya oasr sripa nu suwos nga fin kaskaskin siena kain pusra? Ac wanginna, nga fin tia fahkak nu suwos sie mwe fahkak sin God me, ku kas in etauk, ku kas in purakak nunkowos, ku kas in luti.
7 yet the things without life giving sound — whether pipe or harp — if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped?
Nunku ke sie flute ku harp, kain in mwe srital on ma wangin moul la — mwet uh ac etu fuka ahyen on soko fin tia kalem pusren kais sie note kac?
8 for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle?
Ac mwet ukuk se fin tia ukya mwe ukuk uh in kalem, su ac akola nu ke mweun?
9 so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give — how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.
In ouiya sacna, mwet uh ac kalem fuka ke ma kowos fahk uh kowos fin kaskaskin siena kain pusra ma tiana kalem uh? Kas lowos uh ac wanginla yen engyeng uh!
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,
Pukanten kain in kas fin faclu ma tia oana sie, a kain in kas inge nukewa oasr kalmeya.
11 if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;
Sie mwet fin sramsram ke kas ma nga tia etu, na el oana sie mwet sac nu sik, ac nga mwet sac se pac nu sel.
12 so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;
Ke kowos kena eis mwe sang lun Ngun, kowos enenu in akyokye orekmakinyen mwe sang ma ac kasru in musaeak mwet in church.
13 wherefore he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue — let him pray that he may interpret;
Mwet se ma kaskaskin siena kain pusra, elan pre tuh in itukyang nu sel mwe sang in akkalemye ma el fahk.
14 for if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful.
Tuh nga fin pre ke siena kain pusra, ngunik el pre, a nunkuk wangin kac.
15 What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding;
Na mea nga ac oru? Nga fah pre ke ngunik, ac nga fah oayapa pre ke nunak luk; nga fah on ke ngunik, ac nga fah oayapa on ke nunak luk.
16 since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known?
Ke kom sang kulo nu sin God ke ngun mukena, mwet saya se su wi tukeni sac el ac ku in wi fahk “Amen” fuka nu ke pre in sang kulo lom, ke el tia ku in etu ma kom fahk an?
17 for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up!
Pre in sang kulo lom nu sin God finne wo, ac tiana kasru mwet se ngia.
18 I give thanks to my God — more than you all with tongues speaking —
Nga kulo nu sin God lah nga kaskaskin siena kain pusra yohk liki kowos nukewa.
19 but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an [unknown] tongue.
Tusruktu ke pacl in alu in church, wo sik in kaskaskin kas limekosr na ma mwet uh ku in kalem kac ac eis etauk kac, liki na in kaskaskin tausin puspis kas in siena kain pusra.
20 Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect;
Mwet Christian wiuk, kowos in tia elahn tulik in nunak lowos. Tusruktu in ma koluk, lela in wangin mwatuwos oana tulik srisrik; a in nunak lowos, kowos in nunak oana mwet matu.
21 in the law it hath been written, that, 'With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;'
In Ma Simusla oasr ma simla su fahk: “Ke kaskas lun mwet su siena kas lalos, Nga fah kaskas nu sin mwet luk, Leum El fahk. Nga fah kaskas ke oalin mwet sac uh, Tusruktu, ne ouinge, mwet luk fah tia porongeyu.”
22 so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy [is] not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,
Ouinge, mwe sang lun kaskas ke siena kain pusra el oana sie mwe akul nu sin mwet selulalfongi, ac tia nu sin mwet lulalfongi. Ac sulkakinyen kas lun God pa sie mwe akul nu sin mwet lulalfongi, ac tia nu sin mwet selulalfongi.
23 If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
Ke ouinge uh, fin oasr tukeni lun mwet in church, ac mwet nukewa mutawauk in kaskaskin siena kain pusra — ac kutu mwet saya, ku mwet sululalfongi utyak wi, ya elos ac tia fahk mu kowos mwet wel?
24 and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,
A elos nukewa fin sulkakin kas lun God ke sie mwet selulalfongi ku sie mwet saya utyak, na el ac ku in akilenak ma koluk lal ke ma el lohng uh. El ac fah nununkal sifacna ke ma el lohng inge,
25 and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon [his] face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.
ac el ac fahkak nunak lukma lal ye mutun mwet tukeni uh, ac el ac fah faksufi ac alu nu sin God ac fahk, “Pwayena lah God El oasr yuruwos!”
26 What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;
Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, pa inge kalmen ma nga fahk uh. Ke kowos tukeni nu ke alu, sie mwet uh ac on, sie elan luti, sie elan fahkak mwe fahkak sin God me, sie pac elan kaskaskin siena kain pusra, ac sie pac elan aketeya pusra inge. Ma nukewa enenu in mwe musaeak mwet in church.
27 if an [unknown] tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;
Kutena mwet fin kaskaskin siena kain pusra, lela in tia pus liki mwet luo ku tolu, ac elos in kais sie eis pacl lalos, ac sie pac mwet in aketeya ma srumunyuk uh.
28 and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.
Tusruktu fin wangin mwet ku in aketeya, na mwet se ma kaskaskin siena kain pusra el enenu in misla, ac kaskas na nu sel sifacna ac nu sin God.
29 And prophets — let two or three speak, and let the others discern,
Mwet luo ku tolu su oasr mwe fahkak sin God me elos in eis kunalos, na mwet ngia in lohang akwoya nu ke ma elos fahk.
30 and if to another sitting [anything] may be revealed, let the first be silent;
Tusruktu mwet se fin muta in tukeni uh ac el eis sie mwe fahkak sin God, mwet se ma kaskas uh enenu in tui.
31 for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted,
Kais sie suwos ku in eis pacl la in fahkak kas lun God, tuh mwet nukewa in ku in lutlut kac ac eis ku lalos kac.
32 and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject,
Sie mwet su sulkakin kas lun God el enenu in karinganang mwe sang se ma itukyang nu sel,
33 for God is not [a God] of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
mweyen God El tia pangon kut nu ke ouiya oraru, a nu ke ouiya misla. Oana in church nukewa lun mwet lun God,
34 Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;
mutan elos enenu in misla ke pacl in tukeni uh. Elos in tia kaskas, a elos in pusisel, fal nu ke Ma Sap lun mwet Jew.
35 and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.
Elos fin lungse etu ke kutena ma, elos fah siyuk sin mukul tumalos in lohm selos. Sie mwe mwekin fin sie mutan el kaskas ke pacl in tukeni lun church.
36 From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come?
Kowos mwet in church Corinth, mea pwaye lah kas lun God tuku yuruwos me? Ya kowos mukena pa kas lun God tuku nu se uh?
37 if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you — that of the Lord they are commands;
Mwet se fin nunku mu el mwet utuk kas lun God, ku oasr mwe sang lun ngun yorol, elan akilen lah ma nga simis nu suwos inge ma Leum Jesus el sapkin.
38 and if any one is ignorant — let him be ignorant;
Tusruktu el fin tia lohang nu ke kas luk inge, nimet kowos lohang nu sel.
39 so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak with tongues do not forbid;
Ke ma inge, mwet lulalfongi wiuk, kowos in insianaung in sulkakin kas lun God, tusruktu nimet ikol mwet lulalfongi su kaskaskin siena kain pusra.
40 let all things be done decently and in order.
Kowos in oru ma nukewa in ouiya fal ac in takla wo.
