1 Bakolinto 14
1 Boye bolukaka liboso bolingo, mpe bozalaka na posa makasi ya makabo ya Molimo, mpe mingi penza likabo ya kosakola.
Labour for love and covet spretuall giftes: and most chefly forto prophesye.
2 Pamba te moto oyo alobaka na lokota oyo eyebani te alobaka na Nzambe kasi na bato te. Boye moto moko te asosolaka ye; nzokande, alobaka mabombami, na bokambami ya Molimo.
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 Kasi moto oyo asakolaka alobaka nde na bato mpo na kokolisa kondima na bango, kolendisa bango mpe kobondisa bango.
But he that prophesieth speaketh vnto men to edifyinge to exhortacion and to comforte.
4 Moto oyo alobaka na lokota oyo eyebani te alendisaka kaka kondima na ye moko, kasi moto oyo asakolaka alendisaka kondima ya Lingomba mobimba.
He that speaketh with tonges proffiteth him silfe: he that prophesyeth edifieth the congregacion.
5 Nalingi ete bino nyonso bolobaka nkota oyo eyebani te, kasi nalingi mingi koleka ete bino nyonso bosakolaka. Moto oyo azali kosakola azali na tina mingi, koleka moto oyo azali koloba nkota oyo eyebani te, longola kaka soki alimboli nkota yango mpo na kokolisa kondima ya Lingomba.
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 Bandeko na ngai, soki nayei epai na bino mpe nalobi na bino kaka na nkota oyo eyebani te, nakozala litomba nini mpo na bino soki liloba na ngai ememeli bino te ezala emoniseli, boyebi ya sika, lisakoli to malakisi?
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 Ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na bibetelo mindule lokola flite to lindanda: soki ezali kobimisa te mingongo ekesana, ndenge nini tokoki kososola mongongo oyo flite to lindanda ezali kobimisa?
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 Bongo, soki kelelo ebimisi mongongo oyo esengeli te, nani akomibongisa mpo na etumba?
And also if the trope geve an vncertayne voyce who shall prepare him silfe to fyght?
9 Ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na bino: soki na minoko na bino, bozali kaka koloba makambo oyo bato bazali kososola te, ndenge nini bakoki penza koyeba makambo oyo bozali koloba? Wana, bokoloba na pamba.
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 Kati na mokili, nkota ezali ya ndenge na ndenge, mpe lokota moko te kati na yango ezangi tina.
Many kyndes of voyces are in the worlde and none of them are with out signification.
11 Nzokande, soki nayebi te ndimbola ya maloba ya lokota oyo moto azali koloba na ngai, nakozala lokola mopaya epai na ye, mpe ye akozala mopaya epai na ngai.
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 Yango wana, bino mpe, lokola bozalaka na posa makasi ya makabo ya Molimo, bolukaka mingi kozala na yango ebele mpo na kokolisa kondima ya Lingomba.
Eve so ye (for as moche as ye covet spretuall giftes) seke that ye maye have plentye vnto ye edifyinge of the congregacion.
13 Yango wana, tika ete moto oyo alobaka na nkota oyo eyebani te abondela mpo ete azwa makoki ya kolimbola maloba oyo azali koloba.
Wherfore let him that speaketh with tonges praye that he maye interpret also.
14 Pamba te soki nasambeli na nkota oyo eyebani te, molimo na ngai ekozala kosambela, kasi mayele na ngai ekosala te.
If I praye with tonge my sprete prayeth: but my mynde is with out frute.
15 Boye, nasala nini? Nakosambela na molimo na ngai, kasi nakosambela mpe na mayele na ngai; nakoyemba na molimo na ngai, kasi nakoyemba mpe na mayele na ngai.
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 Soki ozali kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe kati na molimo na yo, ndenge nini ba-oyo bazali koyoka te bakoki koloba « Amen! » na losambo na yo ya kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe? Pamba te bayebi te makambo oyo ozali koloba.
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 Ozali kozongisa matondi ya kitoko, kasi moto mosusu azali kokola te kati na kondima.
Thou verely gevest thankes well but the other is not edyfied.
18 Nazongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe mpo ete nalobaka nkota oyo eyebani te, koleka bino nyonso.
I thanke my god I speake with toges moare then ye all.
19 Kasi kati na Lingomba, nasepelaka koloba maloba mitano oyo bato bakoki kososola mpo na koteya bato mosusu, na esika ete naloba maloba nkoto zomi na nkota oyo eyebani te.
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 Bandeko na ngai, botika kokanisa lokola bana mike; bozala te lokola bana mike na lolenge na bino ya kososola makambo. Mpo na oyo etali mabe, bozala lokola bana mike; kasi mpo na oyo etali lolenge ya kososola makambo, bozala mikolo.
Brethre be not chyldre in witte. How be it as cocerninge maliciousnes be chyldre: but in witte be perfet.
21 Ekomama boye kati na Mobeko: « Ekozala na nkota ya bapaya, na nzela ya nkota oyo eyebani te nde nakoloba na bato oyo; kasi atako bongo, bakoyoka ngai te, » elobi Nkolo.
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 Yango wana, nkota oyo eyebani te ezali elembo mpo na bato oyo bazali bandimi te, kasi ezali elembo te mpo na bandimi; nzokande lisakoli ezali elembo mpo na bandimi, kasi ezali elembo te mpo na bato oyo bazali bandimi te.
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 Soki Lingomba mobimba esangani esika moko, mpe bato nyonso bazali koloba nkota oyo eyebani te, bongo bato oyo bazali na boyebi moke to bato oyo bazali bandimi te bakoti kuna, boni, bakoloba te ete bozali na liboma?
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 Nzokande, soki bato nyonso bazali kosakola, mpe moto oyo azali mondimi te to oyo azali na boyebi moke akoti kuna, boni, akomimona te lokola moto ya masumu? Akomitungisa te kati na motema na ye?
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 Basekele ya motema na ye ekomonisama polele. Bongo, akofukama elongi kino na mabele, akogumbamela Nzambe mpe akoloba: « Solo, Nzambe azali kati na bino. »
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 Bandeko, toloba lisusu nini? Tango bosanganaka esika moko, tika ete moko ayemba nzembo, mosusu ateya, mosusu ayebisa makambo oyo Nzambe amonisi ye, mosusu aloba na lokota oyo eyebani te, mpe mosusu alimbola. Nyonso wana esengeli kosalema mpo na kokolisa kondima ya Lingomba.
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 Soki bato bazali koloba na nkota oyo eyebani te, tika ete bato mibale, suka bato misato, baloba, moko sima na mosusu, mpe esengeli ete moko alimbola yango.
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 Soki moto ya kolimbola maloba yango azali te, wana tika ete ye oyo azali koloba lokota oyo eyebani te akanga monoko kati na Lingomba, mpe aloba epai na ye moko mpe epai ya Nzambe.
But yf ther be no interpreter let him kepe silence in the cogregacion and let him speake to him selfe and to God.
29 Mpo na oyo etali basakoli, tika ete mibale to misato basakola, mpe bamosusu baluka kososola malamu makambo oyo bazali koloba.
Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge.
30 Soki moko kati na mayangani azwi emoniseli, wana mosusu azali koloba, moto oyo azali koloba asengeli kokanga monoko.
Yf eny revelacio be made to another that sitteth by let the fyrst holde his peace.
31 Pamba te bino nyonso bokoki na bino kosakola, kasi bosengeli kosala yango moko sima na mosusu, mpo ete bato nyonso bayekola mpe balendisama.
For ye maye all prophesy one by one that all maye learne and all maye have comforte.
32 Mosakoli azali na bokonzi likolo ya molimo ya basakoli, oyo ezali kokamba ye.
For ye spretes of the Prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.
33 Pamba te Nzambe azali Nzambe ya mobulu te, kasi Nzambe ya kimia. Ndenge esalemaka kati na Mangomba nyonso ya basantu,
For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace as he is in all other congregacions of the saynctes.
34 basi basengeli te koloba kati na mayangani, pamba te bazali na ndingisa te ya koloba. Basengeli nde kotosa ndenge Mobeko etindaka.
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 Soki bazali na posa ya koyeba likambo, tika ete batunaka mibali na bango kati na ndako, pamba te ezali soni mpo na mwasi koloba kati na mayangani.
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 Boni, bokanisi ete Maloba ya Nzambe ewutaki nde epai na bino to ekomaki kaka epai na bino moko?
Sproge ye worde of god fro you? Ether came it vnto you only?
37 Soki moto akanisi ete azali mosakoli to azali na likabo ya Molimo, asengeli koyeba ete makambo oyo nasili kokomela bino ezali nde Mobeko ya Nkolo.
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 Soki ayebi yango te, elingi koloba ete Nzambe mpe ayebi ye te.
But and yf eny man be ignorat let him be ignorant.
39 Yango wana, bandeko na ngai, bozala na posa makasi ya likabo ya kosakola, mpe bopekisa bato te koloba nkota oyo eyebani te.
Wherfore brethren covet to prophesye and forbyd not to speake with tonges.
40 Kasi tika ete makambo nyonso esalema na ndenge oyo esengeli, na mobulu te.
And let all thinges be done honestly and in order.
