1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Ke ma inge, lungse pa kowos ac kwafe kowos nu kac. Kowos in oayapa kwafe kowos nu ke mwe sang lun ngun, yokna ke mwe sang lun sulkakin kas lun God.
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.
Mwet se ma kaskaskin siena kain pusra el tia kaskas nu sin mwet uh a nu sin God, mweyen wangin mwet kalem kac. El kaskas ke ma lukma ke ku lun Ngun.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
Tusruktu mwet se su sulkakin kas lun God el kaskas nu sin mwet uh ke kas in kasrelos, kas in akkeyalos, ac kas in akwoyalos.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
Mwet se ma kaskaskin siena kain pusra el kasrel sifacna, a mwet se ma sulkakin kas lun God el kasru mwet nukewa su tukeni in church.
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.
Wo sik kowos nukewa in kaskaskin siena kain pusra; a wo liki na tuh in oasr mwe sang yuruwos in sulkakin kas lun God. Tuh yohk sripen mwet se su sulkakin kas lun God liki el su kaskaskin siena kain pusra — sayen fin oasr sie su ku in aketeya ma el fahk, tuh church nufon sac fah eis kasru kac.
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?
Ke ma inge, mwet wiuk in lulalfongi, nga fin fahsrot nu yuruwos, ya oasr sripa nu suwos nga fin kaskaskin siena kain pusra? Ac wanginna, nga fin tia fahkak nu suwos sie mwe fahkak sin God me, ku kas in etauk, ku kas in purakak nunkowos, ku kas in luti.
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?
Nunku ke sie flute ku harp, kain in mwe srital on ma wangin moul la — mwet uh ac etu fuka ahyen on soko fin tia kalem pusren kais sie note kac?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Ac mwet ukuk se fin tia ukya mwe ukuk uh in kalem, su ac akola nu ke mweun?
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.
In ouiya sacna, mwet uh ac kalem fuka ke ma kowos fahk uh kowos fin kaskaskin siena kain pusra ma tiana kalem uh? Kas lowos uh ac wanginla yen engyeng uh!
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
Pukanten kain in kas fin faclu ma tia oana sie, a kain in kas inge nukewa oasr kalmeya.
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.
Sie mwet fin sramsram ke kas ma nga tia etu, na el oana sie mwet sac nu sik, ac nga mwet sac se pac nu sel.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
Ke kowos kena eis mwe sang lun Ngun, kowos enenu in akyokye orekmakinyen mwe sang ma ac kasru in musaeak mwet in church.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Mwet se ma kaskaskin siena kain pusra, elan pre tuh in itukyang nu sel mwe sang in akkalemye ma el fahk.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Tuh nga fin pre ke siena kain pusra, ngunik el pre, a nunkuk wangin kac.
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.
Na mea nga ac oru? Nga fah pre ke ngunik, ac nga fah oayapa pre ke nunak luk; nga fah on ke ngunik, ac nga fah oayapa on ke nunak luk.
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?
Ke kom sang kulo nu sin God ke ngun mukena, mwet saya se su wi tukeni sac el ac ku in wi fahk “Amen” fuka nu ke pre in sang kulo lom, ke el tia ku in etu ma kom fahk an?
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Pre in sang kulo lom nu sin God finne wo, ac tiana kasru mwet se ngia.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
Nga kulo nu sin God lah nga kaskaskin siena kain pusra yohk liki kowos nukewa.
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.
Tusruktu ke pacl in alu in church, wo sik in kaskaskin kas limekosr na ma mwet uh ku in kalem kac ac eis etauk kac, liki na in kaskaskin tausin puspis kas in siena kain pusra.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Mwet Christian wiuk, kowos in tia elahn tulik in nunak lowos. Tusruktu in ma koluk, lela in wangin mwatuwos oana tulik srisrik; a in nunak lowos, kowos in nunak oana mwet matu.
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.”
In Ma Simusla oasr ma simla su fahk: “Ke kaskas lun mwet su siena kas lalos, Nga fah kaskas nu sin mwet luk, Leum El fahk. Nga fah kaskas ke oalin mwet sac uh, Tusruktu, ne ouinge, mwet luk fah tia porongeyu.”
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.
Ouinge, mwe sang lun kaskas ke siena kain pusra el oana sie mwe akul nu sin mwet selulalfongi, ac tia nu sin mwet lulalfongi. Ac sulkakinyen kas lun God pa sie mwe akul nu sin mwet lulalfongi, ac tia nu sin mwet selulalfongi.
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?
Ke ouinge uh, fin oasr tukeni lun mwet in church, ac mwet nukewa mutawauk in kaskaskin siena kain pusra — ac kutu mwet saya, ku mwet sululalfongi utyak wi, ya elos ac tia fahk mu kowos mwet wel?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
A elos nukewa fin sulkakin kas lun God ke sie mwet selulalfongi ku sie mwet saya utyak, na el ac ku in akilenak ma koluk lal ke ma el lohng uh. El ac fah nununkal sifacna ke ma el lohng inge,
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.
ac el ac fahkak nunak lukma lal ye mutun mwet tukeni uh, ac el ac fah faksufi ac alu nu sin God ac fahk, “Pwayena lah God El oasr yuruwos!”
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.
Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, pa inge kalmen ma nga fahk uh. Ke kowos tukeni nu ke alu, sie mwet uh ac on, sie elan luti, sie elan fahkak mwe fahkak sin God me, sie pac elan kaskaskin siena kain pusra, ac sie pac elan aketeya pusra inge. Ma nukewa enenu in mwe musaeak mwet in church.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Kutena mwet fin kaskaskin siena kain pusra, lela in tia pus liki mwet luo ku tolu, ac elos in kais sie eis pacl lalos, ac sie pac mwet in aketeya ma srumunyuk uh.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
Tusruktu fin wangin mwet ku in aketeya, na mwet se ma kaskaskin siena kain pusra el enenu in misla, ac kaskas na nu sel sifacna ac nu sin God.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
Mwet luo ku tolu su oasr mwe fahkak sin God me elos in eis kunalos, na mwet ngia in lohang akwoya nu ke ma elos fahk.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Tusruktu mwet se fin muta in tukeni uh ac el eis sie mwe fahkak sin God, mwet se ma kaskas uh enenu in tui.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
Kais sie suwos ku in eis pacl la in fahkak kas lun God, tuh mwet nukewa in ku in lutlut kac ac eis ku lalos kac.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Sie mwet su sulkakin kas lun God el enenu in karinganang mwe sang se ma itukyang nu sel,
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
mweyen God El tia pangon kut nu ke ouiya oraru, a nu ke ouiya misla. Oana in church nukewa lun mwet lun God,
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,
mutan elos enenu in misla ke pacl in tukeni uh. Elos in tia kaskas, a elos in pusisel, fal nu ke Ma Sap lun mwet Jew.
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.”
Elos fin lungse etu ke kutena ma, elos fah siyuk sin mukul tumalos in lohm selos. Sie mwe mwekin fin sie mutan el kaskas ke pacl in tukeni lun church.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Kowos mwet in church Corinth, mea pwaye lah kas lun God tuku yuruwos me? Ya kowos mukena pa kas lun God tuku nu se uh?
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.
Mwet se fin nunku mu el mwet utuk kas lun God, ku oasr mwe sang lun ngun yorol, elan akilen lah ma nga simis nu suwos inge ma Leum Jesus el sapkin.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Tusruktu el fin tia lohang nu ke kas luk inge, nimet kowos lohang nu sel.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
Ke ma inge, mwet lulalfongi wiuk, kowos in insianaung in sulkakin kas lun God, tusruktu nimet ikol mwet lulalfongi su kaskaskin siena kain pusra.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Kowos in oru ma nukewa in ouiya fal ac in takla wo.
