1 Korintos 14

1 Jacaylka raaca, oo weliba hadiyadaha Ruuxa ka yimaada aad u doona, oo siiba doona inaad wax sii sheegtaan.

Pursue love, and desire the spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

2 Waayo, kii af uusan aqoon ku hadlaa, lama hadlo dadka, wuxuuse la hadlaa Ilaah, waayo, ninna ma garto; laakiin Ruuxa ayaa waxyaalaha qarsoon kaga dhex hadliya.

Because he who speaks in a ‘language’ is not speaking to people but to God, since no one understands; in spirit he speaks mysteries.

3 Laakiin kii wax sii sheegaa wuxuu dadka kula hadlaa hadallo wax dhisa oo gargaar iyo qalbiqaboojis leh.

But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to people.

4 Kii af uusan aqoon ku hadlaa wuu isdhisaa, laakiin kii wax sii sheegaa wuxuu dhisaa kiniisadda.

The one speaking in a ‘language’ edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the congregation.

5 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaad dhammaantiin afaf ku wada hadashaan, laakiin waxaan ka sii jeclaan lahaa inaad wax sii sheegtaan. Kii afaf ku hadlaa hadduusan fasirin, waxaa ka sii weyn kii wax sii sheega, si ay kiniisaddu u hesho wax ay ku dhisanto.

I could wish that you all spoke in ‘languages’, but even more that you might prophesy; because the one prophesying is greater than the one speaking in ‘languages’ (unless he interprets), so that the congregation may receive edification.

6 Laakiin hadda, walaalayaalow, haddaan idiin imaado, anigoo afaf ku hadlaya, maxaan idiin tari doonaa, haddaanan idinkula hadlin muujin ama aqoon ama wax sii sheegid ama waxbarid?

Now then, brothers, what good will I do you if I come to you speaking in ‘languages’ instead of addressing you with revelation, or with knowledge, or with prophecy, or with teaching?

7 Xataa waxyaalo aan naf lahayni markay dhawaaqaan, ha ahaadeen ama biibiile ama kataarad, haddaanay dhawaaqa kala soocin, sidee baa loo kala garanayaa waxa la yeedhiyo ama waxa kataaradda laga dhawaajiyo?

Take lifeless things like a flute or a harp; if they make no distinction in the notes when they produce sound, how will it be known what is being piped or harped?

8 Hadduu buunku ku dhawaaqo cod aan la kala garan, yaa dagaal isu diyaargarayn doona?

Also a trumpet; if it gives an indistinct sound, who will prepare for battle?

9 Sidaasoo kalena idinku markaad af ku hadashaan haddaydnan ku hadlin hadal la garto, sidee baa loo garanayaa waxa lagu hadlayo? Waayo, dabayshaad la hadlaysaan.

So it is with you: if you do not deliver an intelligible message with the ‘language’, how will it be known what is being said? You will just be speaking into the air.

10 Mindhaa waxaa dunida jira codad badan oo kala cayn ah, oo mid aan micne lahayni ma jiro.

There are probably a great many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without significance.

11 Haddaba haddaanan garanaynin micnaha codka, waxaan kii hadlaya u ahaan doonaa nin qalaad, kan hadlayaana nin qalaad ayuu ii ahaan doonaa.

But if I do not know the force of the sound, I will be a foreigner to the speaker, and he will be a foreigner to me.

12 Sidaasoo kale idinkuna, idinkoo ku kulul hadiyadaha ruuxa, aad u dadaala inaad hadiyado badan u lahaataan kiniisadda dhisniinteeda.

And you too: since you are zealous for spiritual things, aim at the edification of the congregation, that you may all grow.

13 Sidaa daraaddeed kii af ku hadlaa, Ilaah ha ka baryo si uu u fasiro.

Therefore the one speaking in a ‘language’ should pray that he may interpret.

14 Waayo, haddaan Ilaah af aanan oqoon ku baryo, ruuxayga ayaa barya, laakiin garashadaydu faa'iido ma leh.

For if I pray in a ‘language’, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

15 Maxaa jira haddaba? Ruuxa ayaan Ilaah ku baryi doonaa, laakiin waxaan kaloo isaga ku baryi doonaa garashada. Ruuxa ayaan ku heesi doonaa, oo garashadana waan ku heesi doonaa.

So what then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will also pray with the mind; I will sing with the spirit, but I will also sing with the mind.

16 Haddii kale haddaad ruuxa ku ducaysid, kii meesha jooga oo aan garanaynin, sidee buu u odhan doonaa, Aamiin, markaad mahadnaqaysid, hadduusan garanaynin waxaad leedahay?

Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the outsider say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

17 Si wanaagsan baad u mahadnaqdaa, laakiin kan kale ma dhisna.

You, of course, give thanks quite well, but the other is not edified.

18 Waxaan Ilaah ugu mahadnaqayaa inaan afaf ku hadlo intaad dhammaantiin ku hadashaan in ka badan,

I thank my God speaking in ‘languages’ more than you all,

19 laakiin kiniisadda dhexdeeda, meeshii aan toban kun oo eray af kaga hadli lahaa, waxaan ka jeclaan lahaa inaan shan eray garashadayda ku hadlo inaan kuwa kalena wax baro.

but in the congregation I would rather speak five words with my understanding, precisely so as to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a ‘language’.

20 Walaalayaalow, carruur ha ka noqonina xagga maanka, xagga xumaantase dhallaan ka ahaada, laakiin xagga maanka dad waaweyn ka ahaada.

Brothers, stop thinking like children—well, in malice be ‘infants’, but in thinking be adults.

21 Waxaa sharciga ku qoran, Waxaan dadkan kula hadli doonaa afaf qalaad iyo bushimo dad kale, oo xataa sidaa daraaddeed ima maqli doonaan, ayuu Rabbigu leeyahay.

In the law it stands written: “I will speak to this people in foreign languages and with different ‘lips’, but not even then will they listen to me,” says the Lord.

22 Haddaba afafku calaamo uma aha kuwa rumaysta ee waxay calaamo u yihiin kuwa aan rumaysan, wax sii sheegidduse calaamo uma aha kuwa aan rumaysan, laakiin waxay calaamo u tahay kuwa rumaysta.

Therefore the ‘languages’ are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers; while prophesying is not for unbelievers but for believers.

23 Haddaba haddii kiniisadda oo dhammu isu timaado, oo ay ku wada hadlaan afaf, oo haddii dad aan garanaynin ama aan rumaysanayni soo galaan, miyaanay odhanaynin, Waad waalan tihiin?

So if the whole congregation comes together and all are speaking in ‘languages’, but outsiders or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are raving?

24 Laakiin hadday dhammaantood wax sii sheegaan oo uu u yimaado mid aan rumaysanayn ama aan garanaynini, isaga waa la wada canaantaa, oo la wada xukumaa.

But if everyone is prophesying, and an unbeliever or outsider comes in, he is reproved by all, he is examined by all.

25 Waxyaalaha qarsoon ee qalbigiisa waa la muujiyaa, oo taa aawadeed wejigiisuu u dhici doonaa oo Ilaah ayuu caabudi doonaa isagoo odhanaya, Runtii Ilaah waa idin dhex joogaa.

And thus the secrets of his heart are exposed, and so, falling on his face he will worship God, affirming, “Truly God is among you!”

26 Maxaa jira haddaba, walaalayaalow? Markaad isu timaadaan, mid kasta hees sabuur ah buu leeyahay, midna waxbarid buu leeyahay, midna muujin buu leeyahay, midna af buu leeyahay, midna fasiraad buu leeyahay. Wax walba ha loo sameeyo dhisniin.

So what goes on, brothers? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a ‘language’, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

27 Haddii nin uun af ku hadlo, ha ahaadeen laba, ama hadday u bataan, saddex, oo midba markiisa ha hadlo, midna ha fasiro,

If anyone speaks in a ‘language’, let it be two—at the most three—and in turn, and let one interpret.

28 laakiin haddaan mid fasiraa jirin, kiniisadda ha ka aamusnaado, oo isagu ha la hadlo qudhiisa iyo Ilaah.

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

29 Nebiyadana laba ama saddex ha hadleen, kuwa kalena ha kala xukumeen waxay leeyihiin.

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

30 Laakiin haddii wax loo muujiyo mid ag fadhiya, kii hore ha aamuso.

But if another who is sitting by receives a revelation, the first should stop speaking.

31 Waayo, dhammaantiin mid mid baad wax u sii wada sheegi kartaan, si ay dhammaan wax u bartaan oo dhammaan loogu wada gargaaro.

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

32 Oo ruuxyada nebiyadu waa ka dambeeyaan nebiyada.

Yes, spirits of prophets are subordinate to prophets.

33 Waayo, Ilaah ma aha Ilaaha iskuqasnaanta, laakiin waa kan nabadda. Kiniisadaha quduusiinta oo dhan dhexdoodana waa sidaas oo kale.

Further, God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints,

34 Dumarku markay kiniisadaha joogaan ha aamuseen, waayo, looma fasixin inay hadlaan; laakiin ha dambeeyeen, sida uu sharcigu leeyahay.

your wives should keep silent in the assemblies, for they are not permitted to speak, but to be in subordination, as the law also says.

35 Hadday doonayaan inay wax bartaan, nimankooda ha ku weyddiiyeen guriga, maxaa yeelay, waa ku ceeb naag inay kiniisadda dhexdeeda ku hadasho.

If they want to learn about something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

36 Maxaa jira! Ma idinkay ahaayeen kuwii uu ereyga Ilaah ka soo baxay, mise keligiin buu idiin yimid?

Or was it from you that the Word of God went forth? Or was it only to you that it came?

37 Nin uun hadduu isu maleeyo inuu nebi yahay, ama mid Ruuxa raaca, ha garto waxyaalahaan idiin soo qorayo inay yihiin qaynuunka Rabbiga.

If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things I write to you are the Lord's commands.

38 Nin uuni hadduusan ogayn tan, isagana lama yaqaan.

But if anyone is ignorant, let him remain so.

39 Taa aawadeed, walaalahayow, ku dadaala inaad wax sii sheegtaan, hana diidina in afaf lagu hadlo,

So then, brothers, seek to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in ‘languages’.

40 laakiin wax walba ha loo sameeyo si habboon oo hagaagsan.

Let all things be done properly and in order.
