< 1 Corinthians 14 >

1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Ngailut hi nalungtup sangpen'u hihen. Hintin Lhagao thilpeh thilbol theina aphadehset chu-adehset'a Pathen Thuseidoh theina lhagao thilpeh chu nalunga na ngaichat'u hihen.
2 For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
Ajehchu nangman pao chomchom thotheina thilpeh chu changin lang, miho chun na thusei heta hih ule, nangma Pathen tobou kihoulima nahi ding ahitai. Nangman Lhagao thahat'a thu nasei chu hinan natin, hijongleh hiche ho chu het hahsa hiding ahitai.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
Hinlah Pathen Thusei doh a vang chun midang ahatsah a, atilkhouva chule amaho chu alhamonsah ahi.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
Paochom chom thoa chu amatah kitil khouva ahin, hinla Pathen Thusei doh a chun Houbung apumpia athahatsah ahi.
5 Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.
Nabonchauva paochom chom nathotheiyu hileh katilheh in, hinla nabon chauva Pathen Thusei doh theina joh neileu chun kadeijoi. Ajeh chu Pathen Thusei doh chu houbung apumpia kitil khouna dinga pao chomchom tho sanga kiphamo joa ahi.
6 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?
Kasopi deitahte ho, keima nakomuva hung ingting hetlou pao khat in thu seileng, hichu iti naphat chompi thei dingu ham? Hinla keiman thu kiphong doh a kona ahilouleh hetsahna jat chombeh a kona ahilouleh Pathen Thusei doh a kona ahilouleh thuhila kona naphat chomna dingu kahin pohpeh u hileh kati.
7 Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they did not give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
Tumging manchah ho: theile ahilouleh selangdah ho jengjong hinna neilou ahivanga paocheng kicheh tah a thu kisei toh tekah thei ahiuve. Ajeh chu ahiding banga suhging ahilouleh koima chan agin ngei chu ahetdoh theilou dingu ahi.
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Chule sumkon mutgin akicheh louleh, sepaiho chun galsatna a dinga kikou ahiu iti ahetdoh thei dingu ham?
9 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.
Chutobang chu ahi nangho jong, nang hon miho chu ahetlou paovin gahou leu chun, nang hon ipi naseiyu chu amahon iti ahet dingu hitam? Mun onglaiya thusei tobang bep nahiu ahitai.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
Vannoiya hin paojat chom chom tampi aumin, chule pao kiti hin athuko aum cheh e.
11 If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
Hinlah keiman paokhat chu hetahih leng, thuseipa dinga chu gamdang mi kahi ding, chule thuseipa chu keima dinga gamdang mi hiding ahitai.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
Chule nangho dinga jong chutima chu ahi. Nangho Lhagaovin thilbol theina apeh thua hetnomna neneiyu ahin, houbung apumpia tilkhou theina ding chu hol'un.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Hitia chu paochom chom thoa chun akiseidoh ho chu ledoh theina dinga jong tao ding ahi.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Ajehchu keima paochom chom thoa kataova ahileh, kalhagao chu atao ahinan, hinla ipi kasei chu keiman kahepoi.
15 What should I do? 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.
Chuti ahileh ikatia pha ham? Keima Lhagaovin tao ingting, chule kahetna thuchenga jong tao vinge. Keiman Lhagaovin la sangting, chule kahet thei thuchenga la sang kate.
16 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?
Ajehchu nangman Pathen chu lhagao bouva na vahchoi ahileh, nangma nahe loubeh ho tochun Pathen chu iti navahchoi khom thei dingu ham? Nangman ipi nasei ahijong helou ho chu thangvahnaa iti nangma to pangkhom thei dingu ham?
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Nangman thangvahna chu phatah in penan nate, hinla nangma thangvahna chun miho chu thahatsahna pechomdeh ponte.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
Nangho chengse koipen sanga pao kaha thothei joh jal jeh hin Pathen kathangvah in ahi.
19 However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
Hinlah houbung kikhop khomna a keiman hettheiya thucheng nga seidoh ding chu hetlou paova thucheng sangsom seisang in kanomjoi.
20 Brothers, do not be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Sopi deitah teho, hicheho hetkhenna a hin chapang ngol bang hih un. Aselam ahipouva ahileh khohelou chapang tobang hiuvin, hinla hetkhen themna lampang thua pilhing tah hiuvin.
21 In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They will not even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
Hiche hi Pathen Thubua akisun'e, “Keiman kamite ho jah a pao jahkhahlou ho kaman ding chule gamdang mi ho kamanchah ding ahi. Ahijeng vang'in, hiche jenga jong chu amaho kasei thua nunglou dingu ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
22 Therefore other languages 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.
Hitia hi nangman paochomchom tho hi atahsan ho dinga hilouva atahsan louho dinga amel chihna ahi ti nahetai. Pathen Thuseidoh vang hi atahsanlou hoa ding hilouva, atahsan hoa ding ahi.
23 If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, will not they say that you are crazy?
Hitobangma chun, hitiho hetna neilou ahilouleh atahsanlou ho hu'ah na-houbung uva hungu henlang, chule amichang cheh in hetlou paova thu kisei chu jataleu amaho chun angol uva ahitai tia agel dingu ahi.
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
Hinlah nangho jousen Pathen Thu naseiyuva, atahsan lou khat ahilouleh miho hicheho hetna neilou nakikhop nauva hung uleh, amahon chonsetna kigeldoh uvintin chule nathuseiyu chun athu atan ding ahi.
25 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.
Amahon angaiyuva ahileh, aguhthim thu uchu kilangdoh intin, chule amaho chu akhup uva dilsu uvintin chule Pathen ahou uva, “Hikom'a nalah uva hin Pathen aume ati dingu ahi.”
26 What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
Aphai, kasopiteho, seichom leuhen, Nangho nakikhop khom teng uleh mi khat'in lasa hen, midang khat'in thuhil hen, achom dangma chun Pathen in ahenga gotchombeh a aphondoh chu sei hen, mikhat'in paochom chom tho henlang, chule michom khat in ipi kiseina ahi chu ledoh hen. Ahin akibol jouse chu nangho jouse tahsan hatsahna hihen.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Mi-ni ahilouleh mi-thum kalvalin paoho thoda hen. Amaho chun amasan khatbou seisah uhen, chule amahon aseiyu chu mikhat'in ipi asei chu ledoh peh pai hen.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
Hinlah koima alethei aumlouva ahileh, amaho chu nakikhop nauva chun thipbeh in touvu hen, chule achang uvin Pathen koma seijo uhen.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
Mi-ni ahilouleh mi-thum'in gaothu seiyuhen, chule midangsen akiseidoh cheng chu datkhenna neiyuhen.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Ahin koiham khat'in Pathen Thu aseiya chule michom dang khat in Pakaiya kona thuphondoh amu leh, Thuseipa chu thip jeng hen.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
Hitia hi Pathen Thusei hon thuseina phat banneicha anei cheh dingu, hitia hi amichang cheh in hetna anei dingu chule kitilkhou ding ahitauve.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Pathen Thusei chun alhagaovu kithunun theina aneiyun, chule ama phat akinga theidiu ahiye.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
Ajehchu Pathen hi akisunohphah thei Pathen ahipoi hinla cham-lungmon Pathen hijoa ahi, Pathen mithengte ho kikhop khomna jouse ngai bangin.
34 Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,
Numeiho hi houbung kaikhomna a thipbeh ding ahiuve. Amaho dingin thusei chu alompoi. Amaho thunoiya um dingu, chonna danin asei tobang hidiu ahi.
35 if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”
Amahon thudoh nom aneiyuva ahileh ajipateu inmuna akidoh dingu ahi, ajeh chu numei ho dinga houbung kikhop khomna a thusei chu umdan dihlou ahi.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Ahilouleh Pathen Thu hi nangho Corinth mite ho a pat'a hung kipan'ah ahi tia ngaitoa nahiuvem? Nangho kom bouva Thu hi kipedoh a nangaitou ham?
37 If any man 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.
Nangho themgaova nakigel uva ahilouleh lhagao mia kigel nahiuleh, keiman nangho kaseipeh hi Pakai Amatah a kona thupeh ahi.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Hinlah nanghon hiche hi nahet dohlou uva ahileh, nangho tah jong hetdoh nahilou dingu ahi.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking with other languages.
Hitihin, kasopi deitah teho, Pathen Thusei nomna neiyun, chule paochom chom tho jong jada hih un.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Hinlah imalam jouseah kitup tah le kisuhsela bola hiuvin.
