1 Koriniti 14

1 Whaia te aroha; kia matenui ki nga mea wairua, ko te mea nui rawa ia kia poropiti koutou.

Labour for love and covet spretuall giftes: and most chefly forto prophesye.

2 Ki te mea he reo ke te korero a tetahi, ehara tana i te korero ki nga tangata, engari ki te Atua: e kore hoki te tangata e matau; heoi e korero ana ia, ara te wairua, i nga mea ngaro.

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 Ko te tangata ia e poropiti ana, e korero ana ia ki nga tangata hei hanga i te pai, hei whakahirihiri, hei whakamarie.

But he that prophesieth speaketh vnto men to edifyinge to exhortacion and to comforte.

4 Ko te tangata e korero ana he reo ke, e hanga ana i te pai mona ake; ko te tangata ia e poropiti ana e hanga ana i te hahi.

He that speaketh with tonges proffiteth him silfe: he that prophesyeth edifieth the congregacion.

5 He pai tonu ki ahau me i korero koutou i nga reo ke, erangi ia kia poropiti koutou: nui atu hoki te poropiti i te tangata korero i nga reo, ki te kore ia e whakamaori, hei hanga mo te whare, ara mo te hahi.

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 Na, e oku teina, ki te haere atu ahau ki a koutou me te korero i nga reo ke, ma te aha ka whiwhi ai koutou i te pai i ahau, ki te mea ehara taku korero ki a koutou i te whakakite, i te matauranga, i te mahi poropiti, i te whakaako ranei?

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 Na ahakoa nga mea kahore he ora, he reo tona, he putorino ranei, he hapa ranei, ki te kore e puta ke te tangi, me pehea e mohiotia ai te rangi o te putorino, o te hapa ranei?

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 Ki te kahore hoki e marama te tangi o te tetere, ko wai e takatu ki te whawhai?

And also if the trope geve an vncertayne voyce who shall prepare him silfe to fyght?

9 Waihoki ko koutou, ki te kahore o koutou arero e korero i te kupu marama, me pehea ka mohiotia ai te mea i korerotia? e korero hoki koutou ki te hau.

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 Tena pea kei te ao aua reo maha, heoi kahore he reo tikangakore.

Many kyndes of voyces are in the worlde and none of them are with out signification.

11 Na, ki te kore e kitea e ahau te tikanga o te reo, ka meinga ahau e te tangata e korero ana he tautangata; hei tautangata ano ki ahau taua tangata e korero ana.

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 Me koutou ano, ka matenui na koutou ki nga mea wairua, me whai kia hira to koutou pai hei hanga i te whare, ara i te hahi.

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, ko te tangata e korero ana i te reo ke, me inoi kia taea e ia te whakamaori.

Wherfore let him that speaketh with tonges praye that he maye interpret also.

14 Ki te mea hoki he reo he toku ina inoi, ko toku wairua te inoi ana; ko toku mahara ia kahore he hua.

If I praye with tonge my sprete prayeth: but my mynde is with out frute.

15 Me pehea ra? Ka inoi ahau i runga i te wairua, a ka inoi ano i runga i te mahara; ka waiata ahau i runga i te wairua, ka waiata ano i runga i te mahara.

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 Penei, mehemea ki te whakapai koe i runga i te wairua, me pehea te tangata e noho ana i te wahi o te kuware ka mea ai, Amine, ki tau whakawhetai? e kore hoki ia e mohio ki tau e korero ai.

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 He pono ka pai tau whakawhetai, otiia e kore e hanga te pai o tera.

Thou verely gevest thankes well but the other is not edyfied.

18 E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, moku i korero i nga reo maha atu i o koutou katoa:

I thanke my god I speake with toges moare then ye all.

19 Otiia i roto i te hahi, pai ke atu ki ahau te korero i nga kupu e rima i runga i te mahara, hei ako mo era atu, i te korero i nga kupu tekau mano i te reo ke.

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 E oku teina, aua o koutou mahara e whakatupu tamariki; ko te mauahara ia, tena hei kohungahunga koutou, engari ko nga mahara kia kaumatua.

Brethre be not chyldre in witte. How be it as cocerninge maliciousnes be chyldre: but in witte be perfet.

21 Ka oti te tuhituhi i roto i te ture, He tangata reo ke, he ngutu ke hei kaikorero maku ki tenei iwi; heoi e kore tonu ratou e rongo ki ahau, e ai ta te Ariki.

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 No reira hei tohu nga reo ke, ehara ki te hunga whakapono, engari ki te hunga kahore e whakapono: ko te mahi poropiti ia he tohu, ehara ki te hunga kahore e whakapono, engari ki te hunga e whakapono ana.

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 Na, kite huihui te hahi katoa ki te wahi kotahi, a ka korero te katoa i nga reo, a ka tomo mai te hunga kuware, te hunga whakaponokore, e kore ranei ratou e mea he porangi koutou?

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 Tena ka poropiti katoa, a ka tapoko mai tetahi tangata whakaponokore, kuware ranei, ka mau tona he i te katoa, ka whakawakia e te katoa;

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 Ka whakakitea nga mea ngaro o tona ngakau; na ka takoto tapapa ia, ka koropiko ki te Atua, me tana ki ake ano, he pono kei roto i a koutou te Atua.

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 Na, e pehea ana tena, e oku teina? Ka huihui koutou, he waiata ta tetahi o koutou, he whakaako ta tetahi, he reo ta tetahi, he whakakitenga ta tetahi, he whakamaoritanga ta tetahi. Meinga nga mea katoa hei hanga mo te whare.

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 Ki te korero tetahi i te reo ke, kia tokorua, kei neke ake i te tokotoru ki te korero, me takikotahi; kia kotahi hoki hei whakamaori:

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 Ki te kahore ia he kaiwhakamaori, kaua ia e korero i roto i te hahi; engari me korero ki a ia ano, ki te Atua hoki.

But yf ther be no interpreter let him kepe silence in the cogregacion and let him speake to him selfe and to God.

29 Kia tokorua, kia tokotoru nga poropiti hei korero, ma etahi e hurihuri atu.

Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge.

30 Ki te whakakitea mai ia he mea ki tetahi e noho noa ana, me noho puku to mua.

Yf eny revelacio be made to another that sitteth by let the fyrst holde his peace.

31 E ahei hoki koutou katoa te poropiti takitahi, kia ako ai te katoa, kia whakamarietia ai te katoa;

For ye maye all prophesy one by one that all maye learne and all maye have comforte.

32 E ngohengohe ana hoki ki nga poropiti nga wairua o nga poropiti.

For ye spretes of the Prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.

33 Ehara hoki te Atua i te Atua o te whakararuraru, engari no te rangimarie; e pera ana hoki i roto i nga hahi katoa o te hunga tapu.

For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace as he is in all other congregacions of the saynctes.

34 Kaua nga wahine e korero i roto i nga hahi: e kore hoki ratou e tukua kia korero; engari me whakarongo marie, ko ta te ture hoki tena e mea nei.

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 Ki te hiahia hoki ratou ki te ako i tetahi mea, me ui ki a ratou tahu i roto i te whare: he mea whakama hoki kia korero te wahine i roto i te hahi.

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 He aha? i puta mai koia te kupu a te Atua i a koutou? i tae atu ranei ki a koutou anake?

Sproge ye worde of god fro you? Ether came it vnto you only?

37 Ki te mea tetahi he poropiti ia, he tangata ranei i te Wairua, mana e whakaae ki aku e tuhituhi atu nei ki a koutou, he ture ena na te Ariki.

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 Otira ki te kuware tetahi, waiho atu kia kuware ana.

But and yf eny man be ignorat let him be ignorant.

39 Na, e oku teina, matenuitia te mahi poropiti, kaua hoki e riria te korero i nga reo ke.

Wherfore brethren covet to prophesye and forbyd not to speake with tonges.

40 Otira kia atanga te mahi i nga mea katoa, kia totika.

And let all thinges be done honestly and in order.
