1 Korinti 14

1 Hagi tamagra vahe'mokizmia hanavetita tamavesinezmanteta, Avamu'mofo musezantaminkura tusiza huta tamavesinteho. Hianagi Avamumofo musezanpintira, kasnampa ke huama huzanku tamavesinteho.

Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy.

2 Na'ankure mago'mo ru ageru araniana vahetega norie. Hagi Anumzamofontega ru agerura nerie. Na'ankure mago'mo'a ana agerura antahi ama nosianagi, agra'a avamupi frakino oku me'nea ageru nerie.

For he who speaks in an unknown tongue is not speaking to men, but to God; for no one understands him. Yet in the Spirit he is speaking secret truths.

3 Hu'neanagi iza'o kasnampa ke nehimo'a, vahe zamazeri hankavenetino, zmazahuke nezmasamino, zamarimpa zamazeri so'e huke zmasamigahie.

But he who prophesies speaks to men words of edification, encouragement and comfort.

4 Iza'o ru ageru nerimo'a, agra'a azeri hanavenetie. Hu'neanagi iza'o kasnampa ke nehimo'a, mono kevumofo zamazeri hanavenetie.

He who speaks in an unknown tongue does good to himself, but he who prophesies does good to the Church.

5 Nagri'ma navemanesiana, maka'mota ru tamageru'ma aranazegu navenesie. Hu'neanagi ra navesi'zana, maka'motma kasnampa ke hiho nehue. Hagi iza'o kasnampa ke nehimo'a, ru ageru nerimofona azeri agatere'ne. Hu'neanagi ru agerutamima nerimo'ma, ana ageru'mofo agu'agesa eri ama hanigeno'a, mono kevua zamazeri hanavetigahie.

I should be right glad were you all to speak in 'tongues,' but yet more glad were you all to prophesy. And, in fact, the man who prophesies is superior to him who speaks in 'tongues,' except when the latter can interpret in order that the Church may get a blessing.

6 Menina nenfugatane nasareheta, tamagrite ne-ena ru agerutmima ranuana, inankna huta tamaza hu'zana erigahaze? Hagi nagra eriama nehu'na, antahintahi nerami'na, kasnampa kene nehu'na, rempi hunerami'na, eriama hu'na tmasamisugenoke, antahi amara hugahaze.

But, brethren, as things are, if I come to you speaking in 'tongues,' what benefit shall I confer on you, if the utterance is neither in the form of a revelation nor of additional knowledge nor of prophecy nor of teaching?

7 E'i asimu omne zantamimo, konkemo'ene zavenamo'ene ageru neriankna huno, ageru ru so'ema osaniana nankna hu'za ana konkene zavenamokea zanageru'ma arana'ana antahi amara hugahaze?

Even inanimate things--flutes or harps, for instance--when yielding a sound, if they make no distinction in the notes, how shall the tune which is played on the flute or the harp be known?

8 Hagi ufemo'ma krafa hu so'ema osnigeno'a, iza ha'ma hanigura retro hugahie?

If the bugle--to take another example--gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?

9 Tamagranena e'i anahukna hugahaze. Vahe'mo'za nentahisaza zmageru'ma aranageno'a knare hugahie. Ru zmageru'ma aranage'za, nankna hu'za vahe'mo'za ana ketmia antahi amara hugahaze? Ana keka'amo'a amne'zankna hugahie.

And so with you; if with the living voice you fail to utter intelligible words, how will people know what you are saying? You will be talking to the winds.

10 Mopafina hakare'a ruzahu ruzahu zmageru me'ne, anamokizmi zmageru'mofona agafa'a me'ne.

There are, we will suppose, a great number of languages in the world, and no creature is without a language.

11 Hagi ru ageru arania kemofo agafa'ama antahi ama'ma osnuana, nagra agritera ru vahe kna hunentesnugeno, agranena nagritera ru vahekna hunantegahie.

If, however, I do not know the meaning of the particular language, I shall seem to the speaker of it, and he to me, to be merely talking some foreign tongue.

12 Tamagra'enena e'inahukna hugahaze. Tamagra Anumzamofo Avamu'mofo musezantminku'ma tusi'a antahintahima hanuta, maka mono kevuma zamaza hania Ruotge Avamumofo musezanku hankavetita eriama hiho.

Therefore, seeing that you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them so as to benefit the Church.

13 E'ina hu'negu, iza'o ru ageru aranimo'a, ana kema agra'a rekrehe hu'zankura, nunamu huno Anumzamofo antahigeno.

Therefore let a man who has the gift of tongues pray for the power of interpreting them.

14 Na'ankure nagrama ru agerupinti'ma nunamuma hanuana, avamuni'amo nunamuna nehie. Hianagi antahintahi ni'afina nena'a nomane.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is barren.

15 Hu'negu nagra na'a hugahue? Antahintahini'areti nunamuna nehu'na, Avamuni'areti ene nunamuna hugahue. Avamuni'areti zagamera nehu'na, antahintahini'areti enena zagamera hugahue.

How then does the matter stand? I will pray in spirit, and I will pray with my understanding also. I will praise God in spirit, and I will praise Him with my understanding also.

16 Ana hu'negu kagrama avamupintike Anumzamofo agima erisaga nehanankeno'a, inankna hu'za ana ageru'ma noranamo'za antahi amara hu'za, kagrama hanana kerera tamage hu'za hugahaze? Na'ankure kagrama agima erisaga hananankea antahi ama' nosaze.

Otherwise, if you bless God in spirit only, how shall he who is in the position of an ungifted man say the 'Amen' to your giving of thanks, when he does not know what your words mean?

17 Na'ankure kagra, knare zantfa hunka Anumzamofo musenke huntegahane. Hu'neanagi rumofona aza hunka azeri hankave otigahane.

Rightly enough you are giving thanks, and yet your neighbor is not benefited.

18 Nagrama mika'motma tamagetere'na rama'a ru agerupinti'ma neruazankura, Anumzamofona susu huntoe.

I speak in a tongue, thank God, more than all of you;

19 Hu'neanagi nagri'ma navemanesiana mono kevufima, antahi ama huga nanekema 5fu'a kema hanugeno, ruga'amokizmima knare antahintahi zami'zamo'a, ru agerupinti'ma (10 tauseni'a) kema hanuana agatere'ne.

but in the Church I would rather speak five words with my understanding--so as to instruct others also--than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

20 Nenafugatane nasarehetma, osi mofavregna huta antahintahia osiho, havi avu'ava huzankura aminte mofavre'gna hiho. Hagi antahintahi tamifina ra vahe kna huta maniho.

Brethren, do not prove yourselves to be children in your minds. As regards evil, indeed, be utter babes, but as regards your minds prove yourselves to be men of ripe years.

21 Nagrini'a vahepina ontahi'naza agerupinti kea hunezami'na, ru vahe zamagipi huvazi'na hugahuanagi, ontahigosaze, huno Anumzamofo avontafepina hu'ne. (Ais 28:11-12)

In the Law it stands written, "'By men of unknown tongues and by the lips of an unknown nation will I speak to this People, but even then they will not listen to Me', says the Lord."

22 Hu'negu ru ageru'ma ru'zana e'i avame'zane, zamentinti hu'naza vahe'mokizmi avame zanompage, zamentinti osu vahe'mokizmi avame'zane. Hu'neanagi kasnampa kema hu'zana, zamentinti osu vahe'mokizmi zamaza hu'zankurompage, zamentinti hu'naza vahe'mokizmi zamaza hugahie.

This shows that the gift of tongues is intended as a sign not to those who believe but to unbelievers, but prophecy is intended not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

23 E'ina hu'negu maka mono kevumo'zama eme atru nehu'zama ana maka'mozama ru agerutmima neranage'zama, ana ageru'ma noranamo'zo, zamentinti nosnamo'za efresu'za, tamagra neginagi nehaze hu'za hugahaze.

Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in 'tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad?

24 Hu'neanagi maka'motma kasnampa kema nehanageno, amentinti nosanimo'ene, kasanampa kema nosanimo'ma efresuno'a ana maka'mota hanaza kemo eriama hinkeno, kumi'a agra negeno, nagra kumi vahe mani'noe huno refko hugahie.

If, on the other hand, every one is prophesying and an unbeliever or an ungifted man comes in, he is convicted by all and closely examined by all,

25 Ana hanigeno agu'afima oku me'ne'nia agu'agesamo'a efore hanigeno, agra arena reno avugosaregati umaseno, Anumzamofona mono hunenteno, hu'ama huno tamage Anumzamo'a tamagrane amu'nontamifi mani'ne huno hugahie.

and the hidden evils of his heart are brought to light. And, as the result, he will fall on his face and worship God, and will report to others that of a truth God is among you.

26 E'ina hu'negu nenfugatane nasareheheta na'a efore hugahie? Eme atru hanaza zupa, mago'mo mono zagamera nehinkeno, mago'mo rempi huneraminkeno, mago'mo kasefa zama Anumzamo'ma averi haniaza huama nehinkeno, mago'mo ru ageru'ma nerinkeno, mago'mo rekrehe hugahie. Hagi e'i ana maka'zama hanaza zamo'a, knare huno mono kevua zamaza huno, Ramofompina zamazeri hankavetigahie.

What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a 'tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character.

27 Iza'o ru ageru'ma aranuno'a, taremoke ana znagerura ri'o. Hagi tagufa agetere'amo'za oriho. Mago'mo ru agerura nerina, mago'mo rekrehe hunete'na hiho.

If there is speaking in an unknown tongue, only two or at the most three should speak, and they should do so one at a time, and one should interpret;

28 Hu'neanagi rekrehe hu vahe'ma omani'nena, ru ageru ru vahe'mo'a akoheno taganeno mono kevufina mani'neno, agra'a Anumzamofontega agerura akoheno rugahie.

or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking to himself and to God.

29 Zametrenke'za tareo tagufa kasnampa vahe'mo'za kasnampa kea nehanage'za ruga'amo'za ana nanekea refko hu'za antahiho.

But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge.

30 Hianagi Anumzamo mopafi mani'nesimofonte'ma kasefa'za averi nehina, kotama kema nehanimo'a, kea osu taganeno mani'nenkeno, kea huama hugahie.

And if anything is revealed to some one else who is seated there, let the first be silent.

31 Hagi tamagra maka'mota amne kasnampa kea magoke magoke'mota hutehute nehnageno, maka'mofona antahintahia nezamino, zamazeri hankavetigahie.

For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged:

32 Kasnampa kema hu avamu'mofo agorga'a mani'ne'za, kasnampa vahe'mo'za knazmima esige'za, kasnampa kea hutere hugahaze.

and the spirits of Prophets yield submission to Prophets.

33 Na'ankure Anumzamo'a ke'onke'za eri savrisavrahu Anumzana omani'ne, hagi rimpa fru Anumzane. Maka Anumzamofo mono kevu naga zamazeri ruotge hu'neankna hiho.

For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace, as He is in all the Churches of His people.

34 Mono kevuma eritru hanafina, a'nemo'za akohe'za vene'nemofo zamagorga maniho. Na'ankure kema hu'zankura hu izo huozmante'naze. Tra kemo'ma hu'nea kante ante'za vene'nemofo zamagorga'a maniho.

Let married women be silent in the Churches, for they are not permitted to speak. They must be content with a subordinate place, as the Law also says;

35 Hagi a'nemo'za mago'a zanku antahisunema hanu'za, nontega nezmave antahigeho, na'ankure a'mo mono kevufi ke hu'zamo'a knarera osu'ne.

and if they wish to ask questions, they should ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a married woman to speak at a Church assembly.

36 Tamagrama antahi'zana Anumzamofo kema antahizamo'a, tamagripinti agafa huteno, tamagripinke vagaregahie hutma Korinti vahe'mota nehazafi? I'o, tamagra havige nehaze.

Was it from you that God's Message first went forth, or is it to you only that it has come?

37 Mago'mo'ma huno kasnampa vahe mani'noe huge, avamupi antahi'zane vahe mani'noe huno hanimofona, atrenkeno anamo'a amama kreramua avonkura, Ramo huo huno hunte'nea kasege huno agra'a antahi'ama hino.

If any one deems himself to be a Prophet or a man with spiritual gifts, let him recognize as the Lord's command all that I am now writing to you.

38 Hagi ama avoma keno antahino osanimofona, agrira ke'za antahi'za osugahaze.

But if any one is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

39 Ana hu'negu nafu nagnaheta kasnampa ke hu'zankura tusiza huno tamenesinketa, ru agerupinti'ma ru'zana aseovaziho.

The conclusion, my brethren, is this. Be earnestly ambitious to prophesy, and do not check speaking with tongues;

40 Hianagi maka zama hanaza zamo'a, fatgo hina knare kankamunte eriteta hiho.

only let everything be done in a becoming and orderly manner.
