< १ कोरिन्थी 14 >
1 प्रेममा लागिरहो र आत्मिक वरदानहरूका लागि जोसिलो होओ, विशेष गरी अगमवाणी बोल्ने चाहना गर ।
Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual things, and especially that you may prophesy.
2 किनभने अन्य भाषामा बोल्नेले मानिसहरूसँग होइन, तर परमेश्वरसँग बोल्दछ । उसले गुप्त कुराहरूलाई आत्मामा बोल्दछ र उसको कुरा कसैले पनि बुझ्न सक्दैन ।
For the one who speaks in another language speaks not to people, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
3 तर अगमवाणी गर्नेले मानिसहरूसँग बोलेर तिनीहरूलाई निर्माण गर्ने, उत्साह प्रदान गर्ने र सान्त्वना दिने काम गर्दछ ।
But he who prophesies speaks to people for their encouragement, strengthening, and comfort.
4 अन्य भाषामा बोल्नेले आफैँलाई निर्माण गर्छ तर अगमवाणी गर्नेले मण्डलीलाई निर्माण गर्दछ ।
He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
5 तिमीहरू सबै जना अन्य भाषा बोल भन्ने म चाहना गर्दछु । तर त्योभन्दा पनि अझ बढी अगमवाणी गर भन्ने म चाहना गर्दछु । (मण्डली वृद्धि होस् भनेर कसैले त्यसको अर्थ नखोलेसम्म) अन्य भाषा बोल्नेभन्दा पनि अगमवाणी गर्ने महान् हुन्छ ।
Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy, and he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the church may be built up.
6 तर भाइहरू हो, यदि म तिमीहरूकहाँ अन्य भाषामा बोल्दै आएँ भने मैले तिमीहरूलाई कसरी फाइदा पुर्याउँछु र? जबसम्म मैले प्रकाश वा ज्ञानमा वा अगमवाणी वा शिक्षाको लागि मा तिमीहरूसँग बोल्दिनँ तबसम्म फाइदा पुर्याउँदिनँ ।
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 यदि मुरली वा वीणाजस्ता निर्जीव साधनहरूले फरक खालका आवाजहरू निकाल्दैनन् भने कसैले कसरी कुनचाहिँ साधन बजाइएको हो भनेर जान्न सक्छ?
Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they did not give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
8 यदि तुरहीलाई नचिनिने आवाजमा बजाउने हो भने कसरी कसैले लडाइँको लागि तयार हुने समय हो भनेर जान्ने?
For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
9 तिमीहरूका लागि पनि त्यस्तै हो । यदि तिमीहरूले नबुझिने तरिकाले बोल्यौ भने तिमीहरूले बोलेका कुरा कसरी बुझ्ने? तिमीहरू बोलिरहन्छौ र कसैले पनि तिमीहरूको कुरा बुझ्नेछैन ।
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 संसारमा धेरै भाषाहरू छन् भन्ने कुरामा कुनै शङ्का छैन र कुनै पनि अर्थ बिनाका छैनन् ।
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none is without meaning.
11 तर यदि मैले भाषाको अर्थ बुझिनँ भने म त्यस व्यक्तिको लागि र त्यो व्यक्ति मेरो लागि विदेशी हुनेछ ।
If then I do not know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
12 तिमीहरूका निम्ति पनि यस्तै हो । तिमीहरू आत्माको प्रकटीकरणको लागि उत्सुक भएझैँ मण्डलीलाई निर्माण गर्ने कार्यमा जोसिलो बन ।
So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual things, seek that you may abound to the building up of the church.
13 यसरी नै अन्य भाषामा बोल्ने व्यक्तिले त्यसको अर्थ खोल्न सकोस् भनेर प्रार्थना गरोस् ।
Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
14 किनकि यदि मैले अन्य भाषामा प्राथना गर्छु भने मेरो आत्माले प्रार्थना गर्छ तर मेरो दिमागचाहिँ निष्फल हुन्छ ।
For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 मैले के गर्ने त? म मेरो आत्माले प्रार्थना गर्नेछु, तर म मेरो दिमागले पनि प्रार्थना गर्नेछु । म मेरो आत्माले गाउनेछु र म मेरो दिमागले पनि गाउनेछु ।
What is it then? 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 नत्रता यदि तिमीले आत्मामा धन्यवाद दिँदा यदि तिमीले भनेका कुरा बाहिरकाहरूले बुझेनन् भने कसरी तिनीहरूले आमेन भन्ने?
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 does not know what you say?
17 किनकि तिमीले त निश्चय नै प्रशस्त मात्रामा धन्यवाद दिन्छौ, तर त्यसले अर्को व्यक्तिको वृद्धि गर्दैन ।
For you truly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
18 म परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छु कि म तिनीहरू सबैभन्दा बढी नै अन्य भाषाहरूमा बोल्दछु ।
I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all.
19 तर म मण्डलीमा अन्य भाषामा दस हजारवटा शब्द बोल्नुको साटो आफ्नै समझमा पाँचवटा शब्द बोल्न चाहन्छु ।
However in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
20 भाइहरू हो, आफ्नो सोचाइमा बालक नबन । खराबीको निम्ति बालक बन । तर आफ्नो सोचाइमा परिपक्व बन ।
Brothers, do not be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
21 व्यवस्थामा यस्तो लेखिएको छ “अनौठो भाषामा बोल्ने मानिसहरूद्वारा र विदेशीहरूका ओठद्वारा म यी मानिसहरूसँग बोल्नेछु, तर पनि तिनीहरूले मलाई सुन्नेछैनन्” परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
In the law it is written, "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people; but even then they will not listen to me," says the Lord.
22 त्यसकारण, अन्य भाषा विश्वास नगर्नेहरूको लागि चिह्न हो, विश्वासीहरूको लागि होइन । तर अगमवाणीचाहिँ विश्वासीहरूका लागि चिह्न हो, विश्वास नगर्नेहरूका लागि होइन ।
Therefore tongues 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 त्यसकारण, यदि सम्पूर्ण मण्डली भेला हुँदा सबै जनाले अन्य भाषा बोल्दा बाहिरकाहरू तथा विश्वास नगर्नेहरू त्यहाँ आउँदा तिनीहरूले तिमीहरू पागल हौ भनेर भन्दैनन् र?
If therefore the whole church is assembled together and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?
24 तर तिनीहरू सबै जनाले नै अगमवाणी गर्छौ र कोही अविश्वासी वा बाहिरको व्यक्ति भित्र आयो भने उसले सुनेको कुराले उसलाई पापको बोध हुनेछ । भनिएका सबै कुराहरूद्वारा ऊ जाँचिनेछ ।
But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
25 उसको हृदयका गोप्य कुराहरू प्रकट हुन्छन् । परिणामस्वरूप, उसले परमेश्वरको सामु घोप्टो परी आराधना गर्नेछ । उसले परमेश्वर साँच्चै तिनीहरूका बिचमा हुनुहुन्छ भनेर घोषणा गर्नेछ ।
And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
26 भाइहरू हो, अब के त? जब तिमीहरू भेला हुन्छौ, तब कसैसँग भजन, शिक्षा, प्रकाश, अन्य भाषा वा अर्थ खोल्ने काम हुन्छ । सबै कुरा मण्डलीको वृद्धिको लागि गर ।
What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
27 यदि कसैले अन्य भाषामा बोल्छ भने दुई वा तिनले पालैपालो बोलून् । र कसैले बोलिएको कुराको अर्थ खोलोस् ।
If anyone speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
28 तर यदि त्यहाँ अर्थ खोल्ने कोही पनि छैन भने मण्डलीमा रहेको हरेक व्यक्ति चुप बसोस् । ऊ आफैँ र परमेश्वरसँग एकलै बोलोस् ।
But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 दुई वा तिन जना अगमवक्ता बोलून् र अरूले त्यो भनिएको कुरालाई ध्यानसँग त्यसको जाँच गर्दै सुनून् ।
Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
30 तर यदि त्यो सेवामा बसिरहेको कसैलाई अन्तर्दृष्टि प्राप्त भयो भने बोलिरहेको व्यक्ति चुप लागोस् ।
But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
31 किनकि तिमीहरू एक-एक गरेर हरेक व्यक्तिले अगमवाणी गर्न सक्छौ ताकि हरेकले सिक्न सकोस् र सबै जना नै उत्साहित बनून् ।
For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
32 अगमवक्ताका आत्माहरू अगमवक्ताकै नियन्त्रणमा हुन्छन् ।
The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
33 किनकि परमेश्वर अन्योलका होइन तर शान्तिका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । विश्वासीहरूका अन्य मण्डलीहरूमा भएजस्तै
for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
34 स्त्रीहरू मण्डलीहरूमा चुपचाप रहून् । किनकि तिनीहरूलाई बोल्नका लागि अनुमति दिइएको छैन । बरु, तिनीहरू व्यवस्थाले भनेअनुसार समर्पित हुनुपर्छ ।
let the women keep silent in the churches, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the Law also says.
35 यदि तिनीहरूले केही सिक्ने चाहना गर्छन् भने तिनीहरूले आफ्ना घरमा तिनीहरूका पतिहरूलाई सोधून् । किनकि स्त्रीहरू मण्डलीमा बोल्नु शर्मको कुरो हो ।
If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the church.
36 के परमेश्वरको वचन तिमीहरूबाट आएको थियो? के यो तिमीहरूकहाँ मात्र आएको थियो?
What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
37 यदि कसैले आफैँलाई अगमवक्ता वा आत्मिक सम्झन्छ भने मैले तिमीलाई लेखेका कुराहरू परमप्रभुका आज्ञाहरू हुन् भनी उसले स्वीकार गर्नुपर्छ ।
If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
38 तर यदि कसैले यसलाई स्वीकार गर्दैन भने उसलाई पनि स्वीकार नगरियोस् ।
But if someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
39 यसैले भाइहरू हो, अगमवाणी गर्ने दृढ चाहना गर र कसैलाई पनि अन्य भाषा बोल्नदेखि नरोक ।
Therefore, my brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40 तर सबै कामहरू उचित तरिकाले र व्यवस्थित रूपमा गर ।
Let all things be done decently and in order.
