1 Korintiana 14
1 Imaneo fikoko; le salalao o añ’ arofoo, àntsake ty fitokiañe.
Pursue love; nevertheless be envious of the spiritual gifts, —and, rather, that ye may be prophesying.
2 Amy te tsy misaontsy ama’ ondaty ty milikoliko fa aman’ Añahare, le tsy fohi’ ondaty; amy te an-tro’e ty isaontsia’e raha mietake.
For, he that speaketh with a tongue, not unto men, doth speak, but, unto God, —for, no one, understandeth, although, in spirit, he is speaking sacred secrets;
3 Fe misaontsy am’ ondatio ty mpitoky, mampiraorao, mañosike vaho mampanintsiñe.
But, be that prophesieth, unto men, doth speak—edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 Mañasoa ty vata’e ty milikoliko, fe mañonjoñe i Fivoriy ty mpitoky.
He that speaketh with a tongue, buildeth up, himself, whereas, he that prophesieth, buildeth up, an assembly.
5 Niteako te songa nilikoliko, fe kitrako t’ie mitoky. Losore’ ty mpitoky ty mpilikoliko tsy mampibejañe hañasoa i Fivoriy.
Howbeit I wish you all to speak with tongues, but, rather, that ye may prophesy, —moreover, greater, is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, —unless indeed he translate, that, the assembly, may receive upbuilding.
6 Ie amy zao ry longo, naho pok’ ama’ areo ao iraho milikoliko, ino ty hañasoa anahareo naho tsy itaroñako famentabentarañe, ndra hilala, ndra fitokiañe, ndra fañòhañe?
But, now, brethren—if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit, you, except I speak, unto you, either by way of revelation, or knowledge, or prophesying, or teaching?
7 Fa ndra o raha tsy veloñe mañaka-peoo, he soly ke marovany, naho tsy miambakambake o feo’eo, aia ty haharendrehañe ty anoe’ i soliy ndra i marovaniy?
In like manner, the things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, if, a distinction in the sounds, they do not give, how shall it be known, what is being piped or harped?
8 Ie popoe’ i antsivay ty feo tsy fohiñe, ia ty hihentseñ’ aly.
For, if also, an uncertain sound, a trumpet, should give, who shall prepare himself for battle?
9 Inahareo ka, naho tsy ampivolañem-pameleke ty saontsy malange, aia ty aharendrehañe i tsaraeñey? amy t’ie hisaontsy an-tioke.
So, also, ye, through means of the tongue, except ye give intelligible discourse, how shall it be known what is being spoken? for ye will be speaking, to the air.
10 Va’e tsifotofoto ty karazan-tsaontsy ami’ty voatse toy, leo raike ty tsy aman-dika’e.
There may happen to be so many kinds of languages in the world, and, not one, unspoken: —
11 Fe naho nofiko ty dika’ i saontsiy le alike amako i misaontsiy, le ho alike amy misaontsy ka iraho.
If, then, I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be, unto him that is speaking, a foreigner, and, he that is speaking, shall be, in my case, a foreigner.
12 Inahareo ka, kanao sinda hanam-palalàn’ arofo, imaneo ty hampiraorao i Fivoriy.
So, ye, also—since ye are, envious, of spirits, unto the upbuilding of the assembly, seek to be pre-eminent.
13 Le soa re te ihalalia’ i milikolikoy t’ie hahafandika.
Wherefore, he that speaketh with a tongue, let him pray that he may translate;
14 Amy t’ie miloloke am-pameleke hafa, miloloke ty troko, fe tsy mamokatse ty fitsakoreako.
[For], if I am praying in a tongue, my spirit, is praying, but, my mind, is unfruitful.
15 Inoñe aré? Toe hihalaly an-troko naho hihalaly am-pitsakoreañe, hisabo an-troko vaho hisabo am-betsevetse.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the mind, —I will strike the strings with the spirit, [but] I will strike the strings also with the mind.
16 Naho tsy izay, ie mitata an-trok’ao avao, aia ty hanoe’ i tsy niokey ty hoe: Ie izay! amy fañandriaña’oy kanao nofi’e i saontsi’oy.
Else, if thou be blessing in a spirit, he that filleth up the place of the ungifted person, how shall he say the Amen upon thy thanksgiving? since indeed, what thou art saying, he knoweth not;
17 Ndra te soa i fañandriaña’oy, tsy nahasoa ty ila’e.
For, thou, indeed, excellently art giving thanks, but, the other, is not being built up.
18 Andriañeko t’i Andrianañahare te hene ilikoarako likoliko;
I give thanks unto God!—More than ye all, am I speaking with tongues;
19 f’ie am-pivory ao, hamake te minday saontsy lime am-pitsakoreañe, hañòhako o ila’eo, ta te milikoliko an-tsara rai-ale.
But, in assembly, I desire to speak five words with my mind, that, others also, I may instruct, than myriads of words in a tongue.
20 O ry longo, ko miha-ajaja am-betsevetse; eka, manoa hoe ajaja-kede am-palaiñañe, fe miañoña an-kihitse.
Brethren! do not become children, in your understandings; but, in baseness, become babes, while, in your understandings, ye become, full-grown.
21 Pinatetse amy Hake ao ty hoe: Am-pameleke ankafankafa naho am-pivimbin’ ambahiny ty hitaroñako am’ondaty retiañe; fe ndra te izay, mbe tsy hitsendreñ’ ahy iereo, hoe t’i Talè.
In the law, it is written—With strange tongues, and with lips of strangers, will I speak unto this people; and, not even so, will they hearken unto me, —saith the Lord.
22 Aa le nanoen-ko viloñe o likolikoo; tsy ho a o mpiatoo fa ho a o tsi-miantokeo; vaho tsy nanoeñe ho a o tsy miantokeo ty fitokiañe fa ho a o miatoo.
So that, the tongues, are for a sign—not unto them that believe, but, unto them that believe not; whereas, prophesying, is not for them that believe not, but, for them that believe.
23 Naho tsy izay, ie songa mifanontoñe ty Fivory, naho sindre milikoliko, vaho ie mizilike ao ty tsy mahafohiñe ndra o tsi-miantokeo, tsy hanoa’e t’ie gegegege hao?
If, then, the whole assembly come together with one consent, and, all, are speaking with tongues, —and there come in persons unskilled or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are raving?
24 Fe naho hene mitoky, le ie mizilike ao ty tsi-miantoke ndra ty bahimo, songa hampiantok’ aze, sindre hampamotopotots’ aze
But, if, all, be prophesying, —and there come in one who is unbelieving or unskilled, he is convicted by all, he is searched by all, the secrets of his heart, become manifest,
25 amy te naborake o mietake an-tro’eo; le hibaboke an-dahara’e eo re hitalaho aman’ Añahare vaho hitaroñe ty hoe: Toe ama’ areo etoa t’i Andrianañahare!
And, so, falling down upon his face, he will do homage unto God, reporting that, in reality, God is, among you.
26 Akore amy zao ry longo? ie mifanontoñe, songa manàña sabo naho lañonañe naho famentabentarañe, naho likoliko miharo fandikàñe, vaho hene hanoeñe ho fampiraoraòañe.
What, then, is it, brethren? Whensoever ye are coming together, each one, hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath a translation: —let, all things, be done, unto building up.
27 Naho eo ty milikoliko he roe, tsy mandikoatse telo, le ifandimbezañe, vaho tsy mete tsy am-pandika.
If, with a tongue, one is speaking, let it be by two, or, at the most, three, —and by turns; and let, one, be translating;
28 F’ie naho po-pandika, le hianjiñe te am-Pivory ao, fa añ’arofo’e naho aman’ Añahare ty hitangongoa’e.
But, if there be none to translate, let him keep silence in assembly, and, unto himself, be speaking, and, unto God!
29 Ampilañono ty mpitoky telo ndra roe, le handanjalanja o ila’eo.
Prophets, moreover, let two or three speak, and let, the others, judge.
30 Ie entoeñe ka ty miambesatse, le hianjiñe ka i valoha’ey.
If, however, unto another, a revelation be made, as he is sitting, let the first be silent;
31 Hene mahazo mitoky am-pifandimbezeñe, soa te sindre hianatse, songa hosiheñe.
For, one by one, ye can, all, be prophesying, —that, all, may learn, and, all, be encouraged.
32 Ie amy zao iambanea’ ty arofo’e ty mpitoky.
And, spirits of prophets, unto prophets, do submit themselves;
33 Amy te tsy fifandrakarakàñe t’i Andrianañahare fa fanintsiñañe. Hambañe amo fivori’ o noro’eo iabio,
For God is not [a God] of confusion, but, of peace: —as in all the assemblies of the saints.
34 le hitam-pianjiñañe am-Pivory o rakembao, tsy apoke hisaontsy fa hiambane, ty amy pinatetse amy Hake ao.
As for the women, in the assemblies, let them be silent, for it is not permitted them to be speaking; but let them be in submission, —even as, the law, saith.
35 Naho te hañontane iereo, le songa hañontane ty vali’e añ’anjomba’e ao; fa mahasalatse naho misaontsy am-Pivory ao ty rakemba.
If, however, they are wishing to learn something, at home, their own husbands, let them question; for it is a shame for a woman to be speaking in assembly.
36 Hete! Niboak’ ama’ areo hao i tsaran’ Añaharey? Hera, inahareo avao ty nivotraha’e?
Or, from you, did the word of God come forth? Or, unto you alone, did it extend?
37 Naho eo ty mieva ho mpitoky, ndra aman’ arofo, soa re te hahatsikarake te lili’ i Talè o sokirekoo.
If anyone thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge the things which I am writing to you, —that they are, a commandment, of the Lord.
38 Aa naho eo ty tsy maharendreke, apoho re tsy hahafohine.
But, if anyone knoweth not, he is unknown!
39 Ie amy zao ry longo milozoha fitokiañe vaho ko rarà’ areo ty milikoliko;
So, then, my brethren, —be zealous to prophesy, and do not forbid, to be speaking with tongues;
40 fa hene anòeñe ami’ty fañeva’e naho am-pahendreañe.
But let, all things, with comeliness, and by arrangement, be done.
