1 Ukorintiyawa 14
1 Cheo ayi npiziru nsu nin filizunu Kutellẹ, bara inan se usu anaba.
Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.
2 Bara ulenge na adin su uliru nin long lilen na adin su uliru nin nanutari ba nin Kutelleari, na umon wasa ayininghe ba bara na adin bellu nan nya Nfip milau imon ile na inyesin.
For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 Ulenge na adin su annabci, din liru nin nanitari atizanani ikunjo, atizanani likara, anin tizanani ayi asheu.
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and comfort, and consolation.
4 Ulenge na adin su uliru nin tilem din zazinu litimere, a unan sun annabci kpizina tukunan kilari Kutellẹ.
He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5 In di nin su vat mine iwa din su uliru nin tong tilem, nin likati nane wang, usu nighari isu anabci. Ulenge na adinsuzu anabci katin unan liru nin tilem adi na unan kpilizu tileme duku ba, bara kilari nlire nan se ukunu.
Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6 Nene nuana nilime nin nishono, nwa dak kitimine nnin liru nin tong tilem, iyaghari ima se kitinighe, se de ntunun minu nliru fwang, sa uyiru, sa anabci, sa udursuzu kiti?
But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
7 Andi adadu nsali tilai nafo ishirya sa abengbeng na tiwuyi mine di ngangang ba, ima ti iyinzari umon yinin iyaghari idin wulusue?
Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 Asa ipene kulantun ghe nin lon li wuyi ugan na lin likumba, umon ba ti iyinzari ayinin kubin kelu ndu likume?
For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?
9 Nanere di ni ghinue wang; asa idin su uliru nin ti gbulang tongo nati di kanan ba, iyizari imati umong yining imon ile na ibelle, iba liru, na umon ba yinu ba.
So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air.
10 Tilem duku gbardang nyi, na nlong duku sa uma'na ba.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no [kind] is without signification.
11 Bara nani andi na nyinno imong ile na idin belẹ nin long lilem ba, nmaso kumara kiti nnan lirẹ, ame unan lirẹ wang so kumara kitining.
If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me.
12 Anung wang andi idin yalinu nworu iyene Nfip micine in nan nya mine yitan yakyak n kelu kutin nlira.
So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church.
13 Ame ule na adin liru nin long lilem na asu nlira ase ukpiliuwe.
Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret.
14 Bara nwa ti nlira nin long lilem, uruhu nghari di nlire a na kibinayi ni nnin mara imon icine ba.
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 Nyaghari meng basu? Mba su nlira nin ruhu ning, nkquru nsu nlira nin kibinayi ning tutung. Mba su avu nin ruhu nin, nkuru su avu nin kibinayi nin tutung.
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 Andi na nani ba, uwa su liru Kutellẹ nin ruhu ame ule na adin lanzu timap feba ti inyizari aworo ''usonani'' andi udin nakpu ngudiya, a na ame yiro imon ilenge na fe din belue ba?
Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?
17 Fe nnaKpa ugudiyẹ fe gegeme kang, na ulele in nin setikunang nan nya ba.
For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 Ngode Kutellẹ nworu nkatin minu vat nin su nliru nin tilem ngangang.
I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all:
19 Ukatin mengku nworu nbelin agbulang ataun nan nya kuti Nlira nin yinnu ning nnan kele among, nnin woru nenge nbelin agbulang amui nin tilem likure a na umong lanza ba.
howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 Nuana nilime ni nishono, na iwa su ukpilizu tinonoba. Kitene nimon inanzang, son nafo nono, nan nya kpilizu mine yitan awasara.
Brethren, be not children in mind: howbeit in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.
21 Nan nya sharawe ina yertin, “Kiti nanit tilem tilem nin tinu namarari nma liru nin nanit alele; vat nin nani na ima lanzui ba,” Ubellun Ncikilari.
In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.
22 Bara nani tileme alamar, na kiti na nan dortu Kutellẹ ba, se kiti na nan salin dortu Kutellẹ. U anabci na kulapari kiti na nan ṣali dortu Kutellẹ ba se kiti na nan dortu Kutellẹ.
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying [is for a sign], not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.
23 Andi bara nanere, vat anan dortu Kutellẹ nwa dazuro isu uliru nin tilem, anan das nin nanan salin dortu Kutellẹ nin da pira, na iba woru tidi nin nilazaba? ag,
If therefore the whole church be assembled together, and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?
24 Iwa din woru vat mine di nan nya annabci kunan das sa unan salin dortu Kutellẹ nin da pira, amase uyinnu vat nile imon na alanza, ame kpilizu nin litime imon irika na alanza idin belue.
But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all;
25 Imon liyeshin kibinayi me ba nuzu kanang anin diu nin muro me a su Kutellẹ usujada a durso kanang Kutellẹ nan nya mine.
the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
26 N'yaghari tutung nuana nilime nin nishono? Iwa da zuro ligowe, umon dinin na sem, umon udursuzu kiti, umon upuzunu nimon, umon uliru nin tilem, sa ukpilizu tilem. Na tisu imon vat ti nan se tikunant kuti Nlira.
What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 Asa umon lira nin lon lilem, na ise anit naba sa natat, nan nya mine, ise umon unan kpilizu nimon ile na ibelle.
If any man speaketh in a tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most three, and [that] in turn; and let one interpret:
28 Asa na unan kpiliu dukuba, kogha mine min tik nan nya kilari nlire, na ana su uliru nin litime usanme a Kutellẹ.
but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Na a annabawa naba sa natat su uliru, na among anan lanzẹ nin dumun ulire na ibelle.
And let the prophets speak [by] two or three, and let the others discern.
30 Andi ujinjin duku nan nya lissosin mine na ayinno, na ame ulenge na ayita nlire ti tik.
But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.
31 Andi kogha mine nsu u annabnaci nalalarum bara kogha mine nan se likara nibinayi.
For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted;
32 Bara ti ruhu na anabawa, inung a anabawere nin nati mine din dortu mun.
and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;
33 Bara na Kutellẹ. di Kutellẹ. ku shogolog ba, kun lisosin limanghari. Nafo na nitin nlira nanit alauwe di.
for God is not [a God] of confusion, but of peace; as in all the churches of the saints.
34 Na awani mizin tik nan nya niti nlira. Bara na iyina nani isu uwiliru ba, na inughe yita nin ni nati, nanere uduke din belu.
Let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.
35 Andi imoimon duku ile na idin konu nani ayi inyinnuẹ na itirin ales mine nilari. Bara imon ncinghari uwani su uliru nan nya kilari nlira.
And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church.
36 Uliru Kutellẹ na nuzu kiti minere? Anughere una duru kiti mine cassa?
What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?
37 Asa umon din pillu ame annabiari sa unit unan ruhu, na a belu nenge imon ile na ina nyertin minu uduka Ncikilariari.
If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
38 Asa umon nari ule ulire na iwa yinin ninghe. ba.
But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Bara nani linuana, piziran usu nworu isu u ananbci, nani na iwa wanting uliru nin tilem ba.
Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Bara nani na tisu imon vat nan nyan kanang nin libau dert licine gegeme.
But let all things be done decently and in order.
