1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
| ܗܪܛܘ ܒܬܪ ܚܘܒܐ ܘܛܢܘ ܒܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܬܢܒܘܢ |
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.
| ܡܢ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܓܝܪ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܫܡܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܐܠܐ ܒܪܘܚ ܐܪܙܐ ܡܡܠܠ |
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
| ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܬܢܒܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܘܠܘܒܒܐ ܘܒܘܝܐܐ |
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
| ܕܡܡܠܠ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܗܘ ܒܢܐ ܘܕܡܬܢܒܐ ܥܕܬܐ ܒܢܐ |
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.
| ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܠܟܘܢ ܬܡܠܠܘܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܬܢܒܘܢ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܬܢܒܐ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܐܢ ܠܐ ܡܦܫܩ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܦܫܩ ܥܕܬܐ ܒܢܐ |
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?
| ܘܗܫܐ ܐܚܝ ܐܢ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܘ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ |
7 Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
| ܐܦ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗܝܢ ܢܦܫܐ ܘܝܗܒܢ ܩܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܒܘܒܐ ܘܐܢ ܩܝܬܪܐ ܐܢ ܦܘܪܫܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕܢ ܒܝܬ ܩܝܢܬܐ ܠܚܒܪܬܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܙܕܡܪ ܐܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܢܩܫ |
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
| ܘܐܢ ܩܪܢܐ ܬܩܪܐ ܩܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܦܪܝܫ ܡܢܘ ܢܬܛܝܒ ܠܩܪܒܐ |
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.
| ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܦܫܩܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܥܡ ܐܐܪ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ |
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
| ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܓܢܤܐ ܕܠܫܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܩܠܐ |
11 If then I don’t 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.
| ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܒܪܒܪܝܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܘܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܝ ܒܪܒܪܝܐ |
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
| ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܢܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܒܥܘ ܕܬܬܝܬܪܘܢ |
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
| ܘܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܕܢܦܫܩ |
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
| ܐܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܘܝܬ ܡܨܠܐ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܪܘܚܝ ܗܘ ܡܨܠܝܐ ܡܕܥܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܝܢ ܗܘ |
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.
| ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܥܒܕ ܐܨܠܐ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܘܐܨܠܐ ܐܦ ܒܡܕܥܝ ܘܐܙܡܪ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܘܐܙܡܪ ܐܦ ܒܡܕܥܝ |
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 doesn’t know what you say?
| ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܐܢ ܡܒܪܟ ܐܢܬ ܒܪܘܚ ܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܐ ܕܘܟܬܗ ܕܗܕܝܘܛܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܐܡܪ ܐܡܝܢ ܥܠ ܬܘܕܝܬܟ ܕܝܠܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ |
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
| ܐܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪ ܡܒܪܟ ܐܢܬ ܐܠܐ ܚܒܪܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܒܢܐ |
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
| ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܒܠܫܢܐ |
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.
| ܐܠܐ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܚܡܫ ܡܠܝܢ ܒܡܕܥܝ ܐܡܠܠ ܕܐܦ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܠܦ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܘ ܡܠܝܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ |
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
| ܐܚܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܛܠܝܢ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܒܝܫܬܐ ܗܘܘ ܝܠܘܕܐ ܘܒܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܡܝܪܝܢ |
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 won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
| ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܒܡܡܠܠܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܘܒܠܫܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܥܡ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢܢܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ |
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.
| ܡܕܝܢ ܠܫܢܐ ܠܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܤܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ |
23 If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
| ܐܢ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܬܬܟܢܫ ܟܠܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܢܥܠܘܢ ܗܕܝܘܛܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܫܢܘ ܠܗܘܢ |
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
| ܘܐܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܢܒܝܢ ܘܢܥܘܠ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܕܝܘܛܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܡܬܒܨܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ |
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.
| ܘܟܤܝܬܐ ܕܠܒܗ ܡܬܓܠܝܢ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܢܤܓܘܕ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ |
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.
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܕܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܢܐܡܪ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܓܠܝܢܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܫܢܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܦܘܫܩܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ |
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
| ܘܐܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܡܠܠ ܬܪܝܢ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܤܓܝ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܚܕ ܚܕ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܚܕ ܢܦܫܩ |
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
| ܘܐܢ ܠܝܬ ܕܡܦܫܩ ܢܫܬܘܩ ܠܗ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܘܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܘܠܐܠܗܐ ܢܡܠܠ |
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
| ܢܒܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܘ ܬܠܬܐ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܫܪܟܐ ܢܦܪܫܘܢ |
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
| ܘܐܢ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܫܬܘܩ ܠܗ |
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
| ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܕ ܚܕ ܬܬܢܒܘܢ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܢܐܠܦ ܘܟܠܢܫ ܢܬܒܝܐ |
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
| ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܐ |
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ |
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,
| ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܫܬܝܩܢ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܦܤ ܠܗܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܫܬܥܒܕܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܡܪ |
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.”
| ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܨܒܝܢ ܕܢܐܠܦܢ ܒܒܬܝܗܝܢ ܢܫܐܠܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܒܗܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܫܐ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܢܡܠܠܢ |
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
| ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܘ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܡܛܬ |
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.
| ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܤܒܪ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܗܘ ܢܕܥ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܪܢ |
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
| ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܠܐ ܢܕܥ |
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
| ܛܢܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܠܡܬܢܒܝܘ ܘܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ |
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
| ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܘܒܛܟܤܐ ܢܗܘܐ |
