1 Corinth 14

1 Nungsiba tallu, aduga thawaigi oiba khudolsing, thoidok hendokna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpabu thawai yaona pamjou.

Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

2 Khangdaba atoppa lon ngangba mahak aduna madu misingda ngangba natte adubu Tengban Mapudani, maramdi madu mi kana amatana khangde. Adum oinamak thawaigi mapanna mahakna athuppasing adu ngangbani.

For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

3 Adubu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa makhoising aduna misingda ngangduna makhoibu panggal kalhanbi, pukning thougatpi amasung themjinbi.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

4 Khangdaba atoppa lon ngangbasing aduna makhoi masakhaktabu semgatli adubu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa makhoising aduna singlup apumbabu semgatli.

He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

5 Nakhoi khudingmakna khangdaba atoppa lon ngangba adu eina pamjei; adubu nakhoida Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpagi khudol leiba aduna henna eina pamjei. Maramdi singlup semgatnabagidamak kanagumba amana lon handokpiba nattrabadi atoppa khangdaba lon ngangba mi adudagidi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba mi aduna henna chao-i.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

6 Maram aduna, nungsijaraba ichil-inaosing eina nakhoigi nanakta lakpa matamda eina khangdaba atoppa lon nganglaga nakhoigidamak ei kari kannapham leibage? Eina nakhoida Tengban Mapugi phongdokpiba khara nattraga lousing khara nattraga Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba nattraga tambiba purakpa nattrabadi nakhoida kari amata kanade.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

7 Makhol thokpa, thawai yaodaba pot, haibadi bashi nattraga bina maknasu, tan kaina khonglabadi kari tanthano haiba kanana kamdouna khanggani?

Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

8 Peresingga khongbada sengna makhol thoktrabadi kanana langi thourang tougadage?

For if the shofar gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?

9 Matou asigumna, nakhoigi leina misingna khangba ngamba wa ngangba nattanadi nakhoina ngangliba adu karino haiba kanana khangba ngamgadage? Nakhoina madu arembada ngangba oigani.

So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

10 Malem asida tongan tonganba lon mayam ama lei, adumakpu makhoigi marakta wahandok leitaba lon-di amata leite.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

11 Adu oirabadi kanagumba amana ngangba lon amagi wahandok adu eina khangba ngamdrabadi, ngangliba mi adugi maphamda eihak mireibakki mi oirani aduga eigi iphamdana mahak mireibak macha amani.

If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

12 Nakhoina Thawaigi khudolsing adu khourangna pamjabagi maramna, pumnamakki mathakta singlup semgatpada mateng pangba khudolsing adubu henna sijinnanaba nakhoina hotnagadabani.

So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

13 Maram asigidamak atoppa lon ngangba mahak aduna mahakna ngangliba adu handoknabagidamak Tengban Mapuda haijasanu.

Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

14 Maramdi eina atoppa lon amada haijarabadi, madu eigi thawaina haijabani, adubu maduda eigi pukning wakhaldi saruk yade.

For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

15 Adu oirabadi eina kari tougani? Eina eigi thawaina haijagani, aduga eigi pukningnasu haijagani; Eigi thawaina isei sakchagani, aduga eigi pukningnasu sakchagani.

What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

16 Nahakna Tengban Mapubu thagatchaba matamda nahakki thawaina khakta thagatlabadi, tinnaba aduda saruk yariba karisu khangdaba mising aduna nahakna Tengban Mapu thagatchabagi hairiba aduda “Amen” haina karamna haigani? Nahakna hairiba adu makhoina khangnabagi lambi suklei leite.

Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?

17 Nahakki Tengban Mapubu thagatchabagi haijaba aduna yamna ningthijaba oirabaphaobada maduna atoppa masingbu semgatloi.

For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

18 Eina nakhoi pumnamaktagi henna khangdaba atoppa lonsing ngangbagidamak eina Tengban Mapubu thagatli.

I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

19 Adubu singlup tinnaba matamda eina khangdaba londa wahei lising tara ngangbabudi atoppasingbu tambinabagidamak miyamna khangba ngamgadaba wahei manga ngangbana henna pamjei.

However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

20 Ichil-inaosa nakhoina anganggumna khanba toklo. Phattaba toubagi matangdadi angang oibiyu adubu wakhal khanbadadi ahal oibiyu.

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

21 Mapugi Puyada asumna iduna lei, “Ibungona hai, atoppa lonsing ngangba misinggi mapanna, nganggani eina eigi misingda. Nganggani eina mireibakki chinbalgi mapanna, adubu madu phaobada, taroi makhoina eigi wa.”

In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”

22 Adu oirabadi khangdaba atoppa lon ngangba haibasi khudamgidamakni, madu thajaba misinggidamak natte, adubu thajadaba-singgidamaktani. Adubu Tengban Mapugi wa takthokpa haibasina thajaba-singgidamaktani, thajadaba-singgidamakta natte.

Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

23 Maram aduna singlup apumbana tinnabada mipum khudingmakna khangdaba atoppa lon nganglabadi, karisu khangdaba nattraga thajadaba misingna changlakpada makhoina nakhoi pumnamak ngaore haina hairoidra?

If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?

24 Adubu nakhoi pumnamakna Tengban Mapugi wa sandoktuna leiringeida kanagumba thajadaba nattraga karisu khangdaba mi amana changlaklabadi makhoina tariba aduna makhoigi pap khanghangani amasung makhoina taribasing aduna makhoibu wayengani,

But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

25 Makhoigi aronba wakhal adu phongdokkani; aduga “Tasengnamak nakhoigi narak asida Tengban Mapu lei” haina haidokcharaga nonthajaduna Tengban Mapubu khurumjagani.

And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is amongst you indeed.

26 Adunadi eikhoina kari haigani, ichil inaosa? Nakhoina Tengban Mapubu thagat-khurumjanabagidamak tinnaba matamda, amana thagat esei sakpa, amana tambiba, atoppa amana Tengban Mapugi phongdokpiba adu phongdokpa, atoppa amana khangdaba atoppa lon ngangba, aduga atoppa amana amuk hairiba adu handokpa nakhoi amamamna tou. Adubu pumnamak adu singlup adu semgatnaba oigadabani.

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

27 Nakhoina khangdaba atoppa lon nganglabadi, nakhoi ani nattraga ahumdagi hendana madu mathang manao naina ngangsanu, aduga ngangliba adu kanagumba amana handoksanu.

If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

28 Adubu madu handoknaba mi amata leitrabadi ngangliba mahak aduna singlupta tuminna leisanu amasung madu masa mathantada amadi Tengban Mapuda ngangjasanu.

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

29 Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa ani nattraga ahumna ngangsanu aduga ateising aduna makhoina hairiba adu chang yengjasanu.

Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.

30 Adubu tinnaba aduda phamliba kanagumba amana Tengban Mapudagi paojel phangjarabadi, hanna ngangliba mahakna ngangba lepkadabani.

But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

31 Pumnamakna tamjanaba amadi pukning thougatpiba phangjanaba nakhoi pumnamakna amamam oina Tengban Mapugi wa adu phongdokpa yai.

For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.

32 Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpagi khudol adu ngangliba mahakki makha polhangadabani.

The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

33 Maramdi Tengban Mapudi mawong maril naidabagi Mapu natte adubu ingthabagini. Aduga Tengban Mapugi misingna tinnaba khudingmakta toubagum,

for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the holy ones.

34 Singlup tinnabada nupisingna tuminna leisanu. Makhoida wa ngangbagi ayaba leite, adubu wayel yathangna haibagumna makhoina makha ponna leigadabani.

Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,

35 Makhoina karigumba amagi maramda khangning hangningba pamlabadi, makhoina mayumda masa masagi nupasingda hangsanu. Maramdi nupina singlup tinnaba matamda wa ngangba haibasi ikainingaini.

if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”

36 Nattraga Tengban Mapugi wahei adu nangondagi lakpa oiribra? Nattraga madu lakkhiba adu nakhoikhaktadara?

What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

37 Kanagumbana mahak Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa nattraga thawaigi khudol lei haina khanjarabadi, eina nakhoida iriba asi Ibungogi yathangni haiba adu mahakna khangsanu.

If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

38 Adubu masida mahakna thousadrabadi mahakpusu thaoiruganu.

But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

39 Maram aduna, ichil inaosa, Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpada pukning luppu, aduga atoppa lonsing ngangba thingganu.

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.

40 Pumnamaksing asi ningthina amadi mathang manao naiba mawongda tougadabani.

Let all things be done decently and in order.
