1 Akorinitho 14
1 Rũmagĩrĩrai mĩthiĩre ya wendani, na mwĩrirĩrie mũno iheo cia kĩĩroho, na makĩria mwĩriragĩrie kĩheo kĩa ũheani ũhoro wa Ngai.
Labour for love and covet spretuall giftes: and most chefly forto prophesye.
2 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũrĩa wothe waragia na rũthiomi-rĩ, ti andũ aaragĩria no nĩ Ngai aaragĩria. Ti-itherũ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtaũkagĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa aroiga; no nĩ maũndũ ma hitho aaragia na roho wake.
For he that speaketh with toges speaketh not vnto men but vnto god for no man heareth him how be it in the sprete he speaketh misteries.
3 No mũndũ ũrĩa ũheanaga ũhoro wa Ngai aaragĩria andũ akamekĩra hinya, na akamomĩrĩria, na akamahooreria.
But he that prophesieth speaketh vnto men to edifyinge to exhortacion and to comforte.
4 Mũndũ ũrĩa waragia na rũthiomi nĩ we mwene wĩongagĩrĩra hinya, no ũrĩa ũheanaga ũhoro wa Ngai nĩ kanitha ongagĩrĩra hinya.
He that speaketh with tonges proffiteth him silfe: he that prophesyeth edifieth the congregacion.
5 No nyende inyuothe mwaragie na thiomi, no makĩria ingĩenda inyuothe mũrathage mohoro. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrathaga ũhoro nĩakĩrĩte ũrĩa waragia na thiomi, tiga no akorirwo nĩegũtaũra thiomi icio, nĩguo kanitha wongererwo hinya.
I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophisieth? then he yt speaketh with tonges except he expounde it also that the congregacion maye have edifyinge.
6 No rĩu, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ingĩũka kũrĩ inyuĩ na njarie na thiomi-rĩ, ingĩmũguna nakĩ, tiga no ndĩmũreheire ũguũrio, kana ũmenyo, kana ũrathi, o na kana kiugo kĩa ũrutani?
Now brehren if I come vnto you speakige wt tonges: what shall I profit you excepte I speake vnto you other by revelacio or knowledge or prophesyinge or doctrine.
7 O na ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ indo iria itarĩ muoyo iria igambaga, indo ta mũtũrirũ kana kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto-rĩ, mũndũ angĩgĩkũũrana atĩa rwĩmbo rũrĩa rũrenda kũinwo, tiga hakorirwo na ngũũrani njega ya mĩgambo?
Moreover whe thinges with out lyfe geve sounde: whether it be a pype or an harpe: except they make a distinccion in the soundes: how shall it be knowen what is pyped or harped?
8 Ningĩ-rĩ, angĩkorwo karumbeta gatikũruta mũgambo ũgũkũũrĩkana ũrĩa ũkuuga-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩkĩhaarĩria gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ?
And also if the trope geve an vncertayne voyce who shall prepare him silfe to fyght?
9 Ũguo noguo ũhoro wanyu ũtariĩ. Tiga mwaririe na ciugo ikũmenyeka na rũthiomi rwanyu-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩmenya ũrĩa mũroiga? Mũngĩkorwo o mũkĩarĩria rĩera.
Eve so lykwyse whe ye speake with toges excepte ye speake wordes that have signification how shall yt be vnderstonde what is spoke? For ye shall but speake in the ayer.
10 Ti-itherũ nĩ kũrĩ mĩthemba mĩingĩ ya thiomi gũkũ thĩ, no gũtirĩ rũthiomi o na rũmwe rũtarĩ ũrĩa ruugaga.
Many kyndes of voyces are in the worlde and none of them are with out signification.
11 No angĩkorwo ndingĩmenya ũrĩa mũndũ aroiga-rĩ, niĩ ngĩrĩ mũrũrĩrĩ harĩ mũndũ ũcio ũraaria, nake nĩ mũrũrĩrĩ harĩ niĩ.
If I knowe not what the voyce meaneth I shalbe vnto him that speaketh an alient: and and he that speaketh shalbe an alient vnto me
12 Ũguo noguo o na inyuĩ mũtariĩ. Kuona atĩ nĩmwĩrirĩirie mũno iheo cia kĩĩroho-rĩ, kĩgeragiei kuongerera iheo iria ciakaga kanitha ũkagĩa na hinya.
Eve so ye (for as moche as ye covet spretuall giftes) seke that ye maye have plentye vnto ye edifyinge of the congregacion.
13 Na tondũ ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa waragia na rũthiomi rũgeni nĩahooyage nĩguo ahote gũtaũra ũrĩa aroiga.
Wherfore let him that speaketh with tonges praye that he maye interpret also.
14 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, ingĩkorwo ndĩrahooya ngĩthiomaga-rĩ, roho wakwa nĩguo ũrahooya, no meciiria makwa matirĩ na maciaro.
If I praye with tonge my sprete prayeth: but my mynde is with out frute.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ngũgĩĩka atĩa? Niĩ ndĩrĩhooyaga Ngai na roho wakwa, na ningĩ hooyage na meciiria makwa; o na kũina ndĩrĩinaga na roho wakwa, na ningĩ nyinage na meciiria makwa o namo.
What is it then? I will praye with the sprete ad will praye wt the mynde also. I will singe with the sprete and will singe with the mynde also.
16 Ningĩ-rĩ, ũngĩkorwo ũkĩgooca Ngai na roho waku tu-rĩ, mũndũ wa arĩa marĩ gatagatĩ kanyu ũtarataũkĩrwo, angĩkiuga “Ameni” atĩa mahooya-inĩ maku ma gũcookia ngaatho, kuona atĩ ndaramenya ũrĩa ũroiga?
For els when thou blessest with ye sprete how shall he that occupieth the roume of the vnlearned saye amen at thy gevinge of thankes seynge he vnderstondeth not what thou sayest
17 No ũkorwo ũgĩcookia ngaatho wega mũno, no mũndũ ũcio ũngĩ ndanongererwo hinya nĩ ũhoro ũcio.
Thou verely gevest thankes well but the other is not edyfied.
18 Nĩngũcookeria Ngai ngaatho nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩnjaragia na thiomi makĩria manyu inyuothe.
I thanke my god I speake with toges moare then ye all.
19 No kanitha-inĩ-rĩ, nĩ kaba njarie ciugo ithano ndĩramenya wega nĩguo ngĩrute andũ arĩa angĩ ũhoro nacio, gũkĩra njarie ciugo ngiri ikũmi cia gũthioma.
Yet had I lever in ye cogregacio to speake five wordes with my mynde to ye informacio of other rather then ten thousande wordes wt the tonge.
20 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, tigagai gwĩciiragia ta ciana. Harĩ ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mooru-rĩ, tuĩkai tũkenge, no mwĩciirĩrie-inĩ wanyu mũtuĩke andũ agima.
Brethre be not chyldre in witte. How be it as cocerninge maliciousnes be chyldre: but in witte be perfet.
21 Thĩinĩ wa Watho nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Nĩngaarĩria andũ aya na tũnua twa andũ maaragia na thiomi ngʼeni, ndĩmaarĩrie na tũnua twa andũ maaragia na mwarĩrie wa kũngĩ, no o na ndeeka ũguo matikanjigua,”
In the lawe it is written with other toges and with other lyppes wyll I speake vnto this people and yet for all that will they not heare me sayth the Lorde.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kwaria na thiomi nĩ kĩmenyithia kũrĩ andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie no ti kĩmenyithia kũrĩ arĩa metĩkĩtie; no kũratha ũhoro nĩ kwa arĩa metĩkĩtie, ti kwa arĩa matetĩkĩtie.
Wherfore tonges are for a signe not to them that beleve: but to them that beleve not. Contrary wyse prophesyinge serveth not for them that beleve not: but for them which beleve.
23 Tondũ ũcio kanitha wothe ũngĩũngana na andũ othe maarie na thiomi-rĩ, na hacooke hatoonye andũ matooĩ ũhoro wa thiomi, kana andũ matetĩkĩtie-rĩ, githĩ matingiuga atĩ mũrĩ agũrũki?
Yf therfore when all the cogregacion is come to gedder and all speake with tonges ther come in they yt are vnlearned or they which beleve not: will they not saye that ye are out of youre wittes?
24 No mũndũ ũtarĩ mwĩtĩkia kana mũndũ ũtarĩ mũtaũkĩre nĩ ũhoro ũcio angĩtoonya rĩrĩa andũ othe mararatha mohoro-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩekũiguithio nĩ andũ othe atĩ nĩ mwĩhia na aciirithio nĩo othe,
But and yf all prophesy and ther come in one that beleveth not or one vnlearned he is rebuked of all men and is iudged of every man:
25 na maũndũ marĩa atũire ahithĩte ngoro-inĩ nĩmakoimbũka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio egũithie thĩ ahooe Ngai, akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Ngai arĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu!”
and so are ye secretes of his hert opened and so falleth he doune on his face and worshippeth God and sayth yt God is wt you in dede.
26 Tũgũkiuga atĩa, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ? Rĩrĩa muongana hamwe-rĩ, o mũndũ ahota gũkorwo arĩ na rwĩmbo, kana arĩ na ũndũ arenda kũrutana, kana arĩ na ũndũ aguũrĩirio, kana arĩ na thiomi, kana arĩ na ũtaũri wa thiomi. Maũndũ macio mothe no nginya mekagwo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩkĩra kanitha hinya.
How is it then brethre? When ye come to gedder every ma hath his songe hath his doctryne hath his toge hath his revelacio hath his interpretacio. Let all thinges be done vnto edifyinge.
27 Angĩkorwo nĩ gũkwario na rũthiomi-rĩ, nĩ kwario nĩ andũ eerĩ, na makĩingĩha atatũ, na o mũndũ aarie riita rĩake, na no nginya hagĩe na mũndũ ũngĩ wa gũtaũra.
If eny man speake wt tonges let it be two at once or at the most thre at once and that by course: and let another interprete it.
28 Angĩkorwo gũtirĩ mũtaũri-rĩ, mwaria ũcio nĩagĩkire arĩ kũu kanitha-inĩ, na akĩĩarĩrie we mwene, na aarĩrie Ngai.
But yf ther be no interpreter let him kepe silence in the cogregacion and let him speake to him selfe and to God.
29 Aheani ũhoro eerĩ kana atatũ magĩrĩirwo maarie, nao andũ arĩa angĩ makũũrane wega ũrĩa kũreerwo.
Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge.
30 Na mũndũ ũikarĩte thĩ ho angĩgĩa na ũguũrio-rĩ, mwaria ũcio wa mbere nĩakire.
Yf eny revelacio be made to another that sitteth by let the fyrst holde his peace.
31 Nĩgũkorwo inyuothe no mũrathe ũhoro o mũndũ riita rĩake nĩguo andũ othe marutwo maũndũ na momĩrĩrio.
For ye maye all prophesy one by one that all maye learne and all maye have comforte.
32 Namo maroho ma anabii nĩmathĩkagĩra anabii o ene.
For ye spretes of the Prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.
33 Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ti Ngai wa kĩrigiicano no nĩ wa thayũ. Ta ũrĩa kũrĩ thĩinĩ wa ciũngano ciothe cia andũ arĩa aamũre,
For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace as he is in all other congregacions of the saynctes.
34 atumia magĩrĩirwo nĩgũikaraga makirĩte ki marĩ thĩinĩ wa kanitha. Matiĩtĩkĩrĩtio kwaria, no nĩmaikarage menyiihĩtie, o ta ũrĩa Watho uugĩte.
Let youre wyves kepe silence in the cogregacions. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but let them be vnder obedience as sayth the lawe.
35 Angĩkorwo marĩ na ũndũ mangĩenda kũmenya-rĩ, nĩmoragie athuuri ao ene kwao mũciĩ; nĩgũkorwo nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ thoni atumia kwaragia thĩinĩ wa kanitha.
If they will learne enythinge let the axe their husbandes at home. For it is a shame for wemen to speake in the cogregacio.
36 Hĩ! Anga kiugo kĩa Ngai kĩambĩrĩirie na inyuĩ? Kana hihi no inyuĩ inyuiki gĩakinyĩire?
Sproge ye worde of god fro you? Ether came it vnto you only?
37 Mũndũ o na ũ angĩĩciiria atĩ nĩ mũnabii, kana arĩ na iheo cia kĩĩroho-rĩ, nĩagĩtĩkĩre atĩ maũndũ maya ndĩramwandĩkĩra nĩ maũndũ marĩa maathanĩtwo nĩ Mwathani.
Yf eny ma thinke him sylfe a prophet ether spirituall: let him vnderstonde what thinges I write vnto you. For they are the comaundementes of the Lorde.
38 No angĩagĩra ũndũ ũcio kĩene-rĩ, o nake we mwene nĩakagĩrwo kĩene.
But and yf eny man be ignorat let him be ignorant.
39 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mwĩrirĩriei kũrathaga mohoro, na mũtikagiragie ũhoro wa kwaria na thiomi.
Wherfore brethren covet to prophesye and forbyd not to speake with tonges.
40 No maũndũ mothe nĩmekagwo na mũtaratara ũrĩa wagĩrĩire, na mekagwo na kĩhaarĩro.
And let all thinges be done honestly and in order.
