1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Miezaha mitady ny fitiavana, nefa maniria fatratra ny zava-panahy koa, indrindra fa ny haminany
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.
Fa izay miteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra dia tsy miteny amin’ olona, fa amin’ Andriamanitra; fa amin’ ny fanahy no itenenany zava-miafina, ka tsy misy olona mahalala;
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
fa izay maminany kosa miteny amin’ olona ho fampandrosoana sy ho famporisihana ary ho fampiononana.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
Izay miteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra dia mampandroso ny tenany; fa izay maminany kosa mampandroso ny fiangonana.
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.
Tiako raha samy hiteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra ianareo rehetra; nefa aleo haminany; fa izay maminany dia lehibe noho izay miteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra, raha tsy mandika teny koa izy hahazoan’ ny fiangonana fampandrosoana.
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?
Nefa, ry rahalahy, raha mankeo aminareo aho ka miteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra, inona moa no soa ho vitako aminareo amin’ izany, raha tsy fanambarana, na fahalalana, na faminaniana, na fampianarana, no hitenenako aminareo?
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?
Ary ny zavatra tsy manana aina, na sodina, na lokanga, na dia maneno aza, raha tsy manao feo samy hafa, ahoana no hahafantarana izay ataony, na amin’ ny sodina, na amin’ ny lokanga?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Fa raha manao feo hafahafa ny trompetra, iza no hiomana hiady?
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.
Dia toy izany koa ianareo: raha tsy mazava ny teny aloaky ny vavanareo, hatao ahoana no fahafantatra izay lazainareo? Fa raha tsy izany, dia hiteny amin’ ny rivotra ianareo.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
Misy fiteny maro samy hafa amin’ izao tontolo izao, ka samy manana ny heviny avy.
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.
Koa raha tsy mahalala ny hevitry ny fiteny aho, dia ho vaka amin’ izay miteny, ary izay miteny ho vaka amiko kosa.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
Ary toy izany ihany koa ianareo: raha fatra-paniry ny zava-panahy, dia izay hampandroso ny fiangonana no tadiavo indrindra.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Koa aoka izay miteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra hangataka mba hahay mandika teny koa.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Fa raha mivavaka amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra aho, dia ny fanahiko ihany no mivavaka, fa ny saiko kosa tsy mahavanona.
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.
Ahoana ary no izy? Sady hivavaka am-panahy no hivavaka an-tsaina koa aho; sady hihira am-panahy no hihira an-tsaina koa aho.
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?
Fa raha misaotra am-panahy fotsiny ihany ianao, hataon’ izay tsy mahay ahoana no hanao Amena, raha misaotra ianao? satria tsy mahalala izay lazainao Izy.
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Fa ianao dia misaotra tsara ihany, nefa ny hafa kosa tsy mba ampandrosoina.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
Misaotra an’ Andriamanitra aho fa miteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra mihoatra noho ianareo rehetra aho;
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.
nefa raha ao am-piangonana, dia aleoko manao teny dimy fantatry ny saiko mba hampianarako ny sasany koa, toy izay hanao teny iray alina amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Ry rahalahy, aza mba ho zaza amin’ ny fahalalana; raha amin’ ny lolompo dia aoka ho zaza-bodo aza, fa amin’ ny fahalalana kosa dia aoka ho lehilahy tokoa.
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.”
Voasoratra amin’ ny lalàna hoe: Amin’ ny olona hafa fiteny sy amin’ ny molotry ny olon-kafa no hitenenako amin’ ity firenena ity; fa na dia amin’ izany aza dia tsy hihaino Ahy izy, hoy Jehovah.
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.
Koa ny fiteny tsy fantatra dia famantarana amin’ ny tsy mino, fa tsy amin’ ny mino; fa ny faminaniana kosa dia amin’ ny mino, fa tsy amin’ ny tsy mino.
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?
Koa raha vory ny mpiangona rehetra, ary ny olona rehetra samy miteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra, ary miditra ny tsy mahay, na ny tsy mino, tsy holazainy va fa very saina ianareo?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
Fa raha samy maminany izy rehetra, ary miditra ny tsy mino, na ny tsy mahay, dia ho voan’ ny anatra ataon’ izy rehetra izy sady hotsarain’ izy rehetra;
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.
ka dia miseho ny zavatra takona ao am-pony, dia hiankohoka izy ka hivavaka amin’ Andriamanitra sady hilaza fa Andriamanitra dia ao aminareo marina tokoa.
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.
Ahoana ary no izy, ry rahalahy? Raha miangona ianareo, misy ta-hanao hira ianareo, misy ta-hanao fampianarana, misy manana fanambarana, misy manana fiteny tsy fantatra, misy manana fandikan-teny. Aoka ny zavatra rehetra hatao ho fampandrosoana.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Raha misy miteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra, dia avelao ho roa na telo, fa aza atao mihoatra noho izany, ka ampifanarakarahina; ary avelao hisy iray mandika teny.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
Fa raha tsy misy mpandika teny, dia aoka izy hangina eo amin’ ny fiangonana; fa aoka hiteny amin’ ny tenany sy amin’ Andriamanitra ihany izy.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
Ary aoka ny mpaminany roa na telo no hiteny, fa aoka ny hafa hamantatra.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Fa raha misy tsindrian’ ny Fanahy ao am-pipetrahana, dia aoka hangina kosa ny voalohany;
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
fa mahazo maminany tsirairay ianareo rehetra, mba hianaran’ izy rehetra sy hamporisihana azy rehetra;
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
ary ny fanahin’ ny mpaminany dia manaiky hozakain’ izy mpaminany.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
Fa Andriamanitra tsy tompon’ ny fikotronana, fa tompon’ ny fiadanana. Araka ny fanaon’ ny fiangonan’ ny olona masìna rehetra,
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,
dia aoka hangina ny vehivavy raha ao am-piangonana; fa tsy avela hiteny izy, fa aoka hanoa tsara araka ny lazain’ ny lalàna koa.
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.”
Ary raha misy tiany hianarana, dia aoka izy hanontany ny lahy raha mby any an-trano; fa mahamenatra raha miteny ao am-piangonana ny vehivavy.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Avy aminareo va no nihavian’ ny tenin’ Andriamanitra, sa ao aminareo ihany no nahatongavany?
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.
Raha misy manao azy ho mpaminany, na ho manana fahaizam-panahy, dia aoka ho fantany tsara fa didin’ ny Tompo ny teny izay soratako ho aminareo.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Fa raha misy tsy mahalala, dia avelao tsy hahalala ihany izy.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
Koa amin’ izany, ry rahalahiko, maniria fatratra ny haminany, ary aza mandrara tsy hiteny amin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra;
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
kanefa aoka ny zavatra rehetra hatao amin’ ny fahamendrehana sy ny filaminana.
