1 Corinthians 14

1 Ẹ máa lépa ìfẹ́, ki ẹ sí máa fi ìtara ṣàfẹ́rí ẹ̀bùn tí í ṣe ti Ẹ̀mí, ṣùgbọ́n ki ẹ kúkú lé máa sọtẹ́lẹ̀.

Followe after loue, and couet spirituall giftes, and rather that ye may prophecie.

2 Nítorí ẹni tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ ní èdè àìmọ̀, kò bá ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀ bì ko ṣe Ọlọ́run: nítorí kó sí ẹni tí ó gbọ́; ṣùgbọ́n nípá ti Ẹ̀mí ó ń sọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀.

For hee that speaketh a strange tongue, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man heareth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh secret things.

3 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ń ba àwọn ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀ fún ìmúdúró, àti ìgbaniníyànjú, àti ìtùnú.

But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto me to edifying, and to exhortation, and to comfort.

4 Ẹni tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ ni èdè àìmọ̀ ń fi ẹsẹ̀ ara rẹ̀ mulẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni ti ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ń fi ẹsẹ̀ ìjọ múlẹ̀.

He that speaketh strange language, edifieth himselfe: but hee that prophecieth, edifieth the Church.

5 Ṣùgbọ́n ìbá wù mí ki gbogbo yín lè máa sọ onírúurú èdè, ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ kúkú máa sọtẹ́lẹ̀, ẹni tí ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ pọ̀ jú ẹni ti ń fèdèfọ̀ lọ, bi kọ ṣe pé ó bá ń ṣe ìtumọ̀, kí ìjọ bá à lè kọ́ ẹ̀kọ́.

I would that ye all spake strange languages, but rather that ye prophecied: for greater is hee that prophecieth, then hee that speaketh diuers tongues, except hee expound it, that the Church may receiue edification.

6 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ará, bí mo bá wá sí àárín yín, tí mo sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ ní èdè àìmọ̀, èrè kín ni èmi yóò jẹ́ fún yin, bi ko ṣe pé mo bá ń bá yín sọ̀rọ̀, yálà nípa ìṣípayá, tàbí ìmọ̀ tàbí nípá ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀, tàbí nípa ẹ̀kọ́?

And nowe, brethren, if I come vnto you speaking diuers tongues, what shall I profite you, except I speake to you, either by reuelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecying, or by doctrine?

7 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní pẹ̀lú àwọn nǹkan tí kò ní ẹ̀mí tí ń dún, ìbá à ṣe fèrè tàbí dùùrù bí kò ṣe pé ìyàtọ̀ bá wà nínú wọn, a ó tí ṣe mọ ohùn tí fèrè tàbí tí dùùrù ń wí?

Moreouer things without life which giue a sounde, whether it be a pipe or an harpe, except they make a distinction in the soundes, how shall it be knowen what is piped or harped?

8 Nítorí pé bi ohùn ìpè kò bá dájú, ta ni yóò múra fún ogun?

And also if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to battell?

9 Bẹ́ẹ̀ sí ni ẹ̀yin, bí kò ṣe pé ẹ̀yin bá ń fi ahọ́n yín sọ̀rọ̀ tí ó yé ni, a ó ti ṣe mọ ohun ti ẹ ń wí? Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin yóò kàn máa sọ̀rọ̀ si afẹ́fẹ́ lásán.

So likewise you, by the tongue, except yee vtter wordes that haue signification, howe shall it be vnderstand what is spoken? for ye shall speake in the ayre.

10 Ó lé jẹ́ pé onírúurú ohùn èdè ní ń bẹ ní ayé, kò sí ọ̀kan tí kò ní ìtumọ̀.

There are so many kindes of voyces (as it commeth to passe) in the world, and none of them is dumme.

11 Ǹjẹ́ bí èmí kò mọ ìtumọ̀ ohùn èdè náà, èmí ó jásí aláìgbédè sí ẹni tí ń sọ̀rọ̀, ẹni tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ yóò sí jásí aláìgbédè sí mi.

Except I know then the power of ye voyce, I shall be vnto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh, shalbe a barbarian vnto me.

12 Bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ní ẹ̀yin, bí ẹ̀yin ti ní ìtara fún ẹ̀bùn Ẹ̀mí, ẹ máa ṣe àfẹ́rí àti máa pọ̀ sí i fún ìdàgbàsókè ìjọ.

Euen so, forasmuch as ye couet spirituall giftes, seeke that ye may excell vnto the edifying of the Church.

13 Nítorí náà jẹ́ ki ẹni tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ ni èdè àìmọ̀ gbàdúrà ki ó lè máa ṣe ìtumọ̀ ohun tí ó sọ.

Wherefore, let him that speaketh a strange tongue, pray, that he may interprete.

14 Nítorí bí èmi bá ń gbàdúrà ní èdè àìmọ̀, ẹ̀mí mi ni ń gbàdúrà, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn mi jẹ́ aláìléso.

For if I pray in a strange togue, my spirit prayeth: but mine vnderstading is without fruite.

15 Ǹjẹ́ kín ni èmi yóò ṣe? Èmi yóò fi ẹ̀mí mi gbàdúrà, èmi yóò sí fi òye mi gbàdúrà pẹ̀lú; Èmi yóò fi ẹ̀mí mi kọrin, èmi yóò sí fi òye mi kọrin pẹ̀lú.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I wil pray with the vnderstanding also: I wil sing with the spirite, but I will sing with the vnderstanding also.

16 Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, bí ìwọ bá yin Ọlọ́run nípa ẹ̀mí, báwo ni ẹni tí ń bẹ ni ipò òpè yóò ṣe ṣe “Àmín” si ìdúpẹ́ rẹ, nígbà tí kò mọ ohun tí ìwọ wí?

Else, when thou blessest with the spirit, howe shall hee that occupieth the roome of the vnlearned, say Amen, at thy giuing of thankes, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?

17 Nítorí ìwọ dúpẹ́ gidigidi nítòótọ́, ṣùgbọ́n a kó fi ẹsẹ̀ ẹnìkejì rẹ múlẹ̀.

For thou verely giuest thankes well, but the other is not edified.

18 Mó dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run tí èmi ń fọ onírúurú èdè ju gbogbo yín lọ.

I thanke my God, I speake languages more then ye all.

19 Ṣùgbọ́n mo fẹ́ kí n kúkú fi ọkàn mi sọ ọ̀rọ̀ márùn-ún ni inú ìjọ, kí n lè kọ́ àwọn ẹlòmíràn ju ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ọ̀rọ̀ ni èdè àìmọ̀.

Yet had I rather in the Church to speake fiue wordes with mine vnderstanding, that I might also instruct others, then ten thousande wordes in a strange tongue.

20 Ará, ẹ má ṣe jẹ ọmọdé ni òye, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ jẹ́ ọmọdé ní àrankàn, ṣùgbọ́n ni òye ẹ jẹ́ àgbà.

Brethren, be not children in vnderstanding, but as concerning maliciousnes be children, but in vnderstanding be of a ripe age.

21 A tí kọ ọ́ nínú òfin pé, “Nípa àwọn aláhọ́n mìíràn àti elétè àjèjì ní èmi ó fi ba àwọn ènìyàn yìí sọ̀rọ̀; síbẹ̀ wọn kì yóò gbọ́ tèmi,”

In the Lawe it is written, By men of other tongues, and by other languages will I speake vnto this people: yet so shall they not heare me, sayth the Lord.

22 Nítorí náà àwọn ahọ́n jásí àmì kan, kì í ṣe fún àwọn tí ó gbàgbọ́, bí kò ṣe fún àwọn aláìgbàgbọ́: ṣùgbọ́n ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ kì í ṣe fún àwọn tí kò gbàgbọ́ bí kò ṣe fún àwọn tí ó gbàgbọ́.

Wherefore strange tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleeue, but to them that beleeue not: but prophecying serueth not for them that beleeue not, but for them which beleeue.

23 Ǹjẹ́ bí gbogbo ìjọ bá péjọ sí ibi kan, tí gbogbo wọn sí ń fi èdè fọ̀, bí àwọn tí ó jẹ́ aláìlẹ́kọ̀ọ́ àti aláìgbàgbọ́ bá wọlé wá, wọn kí yóò ha wí pé ẹ̀yin ń ṣe òmùgọ̀?

If therefore when the whole Church is come together in one, and all speake strange tongues, there come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleeue not, will they not say, that ye are out of your wittes?

24 Ṣùgbọ́n bí gbogbo yín bá ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀, ti ẹnìkan tí kò gbàgbọ́ tàbí tí ko ni ẹ̀kọ́ bá wọlé wá, gbogbo yin ní yóò fi òye ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yé e, gbogbo yin ní yóò wádìí rẹ̀.

But if all prophecie, and there come in one that beleeueth not, or one vnlearned, hee is rebuked of all men, and is iudged of all,

25 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní a ó sì fi àṣírí ọkàn rẹ̀ hàn; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun ó sì dojúbolẹ̀, yóò sí sin Ọlọ́run yóò sì sọ pé, “Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run ń bẹ láàrín yín!”

And so are the secrets of his heart made manifest, and so he will fall downe on his face and worship God, and say plainely that God is in you in deede.

26 Ǹjẹ́ èéha ti ṣe, kín ni àwa yóò sọ ẹ̀yin ará? Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin péjọpọ̀, tí olúkúlùkù yín ni Saamu kan tàbí ẹ̀kọ́ kan, èdè kan, ìfihàn kan àti ìtumọ̀ kan. Ẹ máa ṣe ohun gbogbo láti gbé ìjọ ró.

What is to be done then, brethren? when ye come together, according as euery one of you hath a Psalme, or hath doctrine, or hath a tongue, or hath reuelation, or hath interpretation, let all things be done vnto edifying.

27 Bí ẹnìkan bá fi èdè fọ̀, kí ó jẹ ènìyàn méjì, tàbí bí ó pọ̀ tán, kí ó jẹ́ mẹ́ta, kí ó sọ̀rọ̀ ní ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan, kí ẹnìkan sì túmọ̀ rẹ̀.

If any man speake a strange tongue, let it be by two, or at the most, by three, and that by course, and let one interprete.

28 Ṣùgbọ́n bí kò bá sí ògbufọ̀, kí ó pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́ nínú ìjọ; sì jẹ́ kí ó máa bá ara rẹ̀ àti Ọlọ́run sọ̀rọ̀.

But if there be no interpreter, let him keepe silence in the Church, which speaketh languages, and let him speake to himselfe, and to God.

29 Jẹ́ kí àwọn wòlíì méjì tàbí mẹ́ta sọ̀rọ̀, ki àwọn ìyókù sì wòye ìtumọ̀ ohun tí a sọ.

Let the Prophets speake two, or three, and let the other iudge.

30 Bí a bá sì fi ohunkóhun hàn ẹni tí ó jókòó níbẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ẹni tí ó kọ́ sọ̀rọ̀ ṣáájú dákẹ́.

And if any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first holde his peace.

31 Nítorí gbogbo yín lè sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ni ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan, kí gbogbo yín lè kọ́ ẹ̀kọ́, kí a lè tu gbogbo yín nínú.

For ye may all prophecie one by one, that all may learne, and all may haue comfort.

32 Ẹ̀mí àwọn wòlíì a sí máa tẹríba fún àwọn wòlíì.

And the spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets.

33 Nítorí Ọlọ́run kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run ohun rúdurùdu, ṣùgbọ́n ti àlàáfíà. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti jẹ́ nínú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn mímọ́.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all ye Churches of the Saints.

34 Jẹ́ ki àwọn obìnrin yín dákẹ́ nínú ìjọ, nítorí a kò fi fún wọn láti sọ̀rọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí wọn wà lábẹ́ ìtẹríba, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin pẹ̀lú ti wí.

Let your women keepe silence in the Churches: for it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but they ought to be subiect, as also the Lawe sayth.

35 Bí wọ́n bá sì fẹ́ mọ̀ nípa ohunkóhun, kí wọn béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọkọ wọn ní ilé; nítorí ohun ìtìjú ni fún àwọn obìnrin láti máa sọ̀rọ̀ nínú ìjọ.

And if they will learne any thing, let them aske their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speake in the Church.

36 Kín ni? Ṣe lọ́dọ̀ yín ní ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run ti jáde ni, tàbí ẹ̀yin nìkan ni o tọ̀ wá?

Came the worde of God out from you? either came it vnto you onely?

37 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ró ará rẹ̀ pé òun jẹ́ wòlíì, tàbí òun jẹ́ ẹni tí ó ní ẹ̀bùn ẹ̀mí, jẹ́ kí nǹkan wọ̀nyí ti mo kọ sí yin yé e dájú pé òfin Olúwa ni wọ́n.

If any man thinke him selfe to be a Prophet, or spirituall, let him acknowledge, that the things, that I write vnto you, are the commandements of the Lord.

38 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá fi ojú fo èyí dá, òun fúnra rẹ̀ ní a ó fi ojú fò dá.

And if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

39 Nítorí náà ará, ẹ máa fi ìtara ṣàfẹ́rí láti sọtẹ́lẹ̀, kí ẹ má sì ṣe dánilẹ́kun láti fi èdè fọ̀.

Wherefore, brethren, couet to prophecie, and forbid not to speake languages.

40 Ẹ máa ṣe ohun gbogbo tẹ̀yẹtẹ̀yẹ àti lẹ́sẹẹsẹ.

Let all things be done honestly, and by order.
