1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Ntumbililanje kwiipata iloi ya pingana, na nnokolilanje kwiipata iloi ika Mbumu, ikabheje shipundile, shiloi sha ukulondola gwa a Nnungu.
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.
Pabha mundu abheleketa shibheleketo shijeni, akabheleketa na bhandu, ikabhe anabheleketa na a Nnungu. Pabha anabheleketa indu ya nng'iyo, kwa mashili gaka Mbumu.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
Ikabheje akwete shiloi sha ukulondola gwa a Nnungu, anabheleketa na bhandu nkwaashimilikanga na nkwaataganga ntima na kwaatondobhyanga.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
Abheleketa shibheleketo shijeni, anakwiishimilika nnyene. Ikabheje alondola anashimilika likanisha.
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.
Bhai, ngunapinga mmanganya mmowe mmeleketanje shibheleketo shijeni, ikabheje shipundile kaje mmanganje ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, pabha mundu alondola, anakumpunda abheleketa shibheleketo shijeni jula, ikabhe ataye malombolelo gakwe nkupinga alishimilishe likanisha.
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?
Ashaapwanga ng'ikaga kunngwenunji nibheleketa shibheleketo shijeni, shiimpwailanje indi? Gwangali kuntashiyanga nng'ibhulo gubhambele a Nnungu eu lumanyio, eu ntenga gwa a Nnungu, eu majiganyo?
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?
Nkali indu yangali gumi iona, malinga lipenga eu shingwaya, bhuli, mundu shaamumanye bhuli, shigombwa monaga ikaone kwa tindana?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Pabha, lipenga ligombwaga gwangali manyika ukoto, gani shaajende kungondo?
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.
Na nneyo peyo na mmanganya, monaga mmeleketangaga malobhe gangamanyika, gani shagamanye gunkubheleketanga? Malobhe genunji shigaobhe payoyo.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
Ipali ibheleketi yaigwinji pashilambolyo, na shakwa shibheleketi shangali malombolelo.
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.
Ikabheje nne, ngagamanye malombolelo ga bheleketa mundu jwa shibheleketi shijeni, nne shimme nannjeni kuka jwenejo, na jwalakwe shaabhe nnjeni kwangu nne.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
Na mmanganya nneyo peyo, pabha nshikolanga lilaka lya kola iloi ika Mbumu, ntumbililanje kwiipata nkupinga nnishimilikanje likanisha.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Kwa nneyo, jojowe akombola bheleketa shibheleketi shijeni, ajuje kukombola kugamanya malombolelo gakwe.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Pabha nyugaga kwa shibheleketi shijeni, kujuga kwangu kunabha kwa mmunda, ikabheje lunda lwangu lukaaposhela shindu.
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.
Bhai, ndende bhuli? Shinyuje mmbumu na kwa lunda lwangu, kabhili shinyimbe kwa mmbumu na kwa lunda.
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?
Mwainiyaga a Nnungu sha mmbumupe, mundu ali munkumbi gwenu shajitishiye bhuli “Amina”, kwaatenda kwenu eja, monaga akashimanye shinkubheleketa?
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Pabha kutenda kwenu eja, kweli shikubhe kwa mmbone, ikabheje junajo ikampwaa.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
Nne ngunaatenda eja kwa a Nnungu pabha ngunakombola bheleketa shibheleketo shijeni, kupunda mmanganya mmowe.
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.
Ikabheje nnikanisha ngunapinga bheleketa malobhe nng'ano ga manyika, nkupinga naajiganyanje bhananji, kupunda malobhe elupu ga shibheleketo shijeni.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Ashaapwanga nnakolanje na ng'aniyo ya shigwana, ikabheje kwa yangali ya mmbone mmanganje mbuti bhana, ikabhe nkuganishiya kwenunji nkulanje.
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.”
Ishijandikwa nshalia ja a Musha, “Bhakulungwa bhakuti. ‘Shimelekete na bhene bhandunjibha, kupitila bhaabheleketanga shibheleketo shijeni, na kwa kang'wa ya bhajeninji’” nkali nneyo bhakambilikananga.
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.
Bhai kwa nneyo, kalama ja bheleketa shibheleketo shijeni ni shilangulo, nngabha kwa bhandu bhakwetenje ngulupai, ikabhe kwa bhangakulupalilanga bhala, ikabheje shiloi shja ukulondola gwa a Nnungu, ni kwa ligongo lya bhandu bhakulupalilenje, na nngabha kwa bhangakulupalilanga.
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?
Bhai, ibhaga likanisha lyowe bhaimanangaga pamo, na bhowe bhabheleketanje kwa shibheleketo shijeni, monaga bhaikanganaga bhandu bhakaelewanga eu bhakanabhe kulupalilanga, bhuli, bhakabhelekatanga kuti nshikolanga shalubha?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
Ikabheje, bhowe bhalondolangaga, na aikaga mundu akaelewa eu jwangakulupalila, yowe yashaipilikane shiinkong'ondele gwangali gwa mmbone gwakwe na shiinng'ukumule.
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.
Injubhi ya muntima gwakwe shiimanyishe, na jwalakwe shaabhatindibhalile a Nnungu alinkuti, “Kweli a Nnungu bhali na mmanganya.”
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.
Bhai, ashaalongo ajangu, tubhelekete nndi? Bhai punkuimananga pamo, jumo ajimbe lwimbo, na juna ajiganye, na juna akole nng'ibhulo, na juna akwete kalama ja bheleketa shibheleketo shijeni, abhelekete, na juna atalashiye malombolelo gakwe. Nkupinga yowe itendeshe kwa ligongo lya kulishimilika likanisha.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Bhapagwangaga bhandu bhakombolanga bheleketa kwa shibheleketo shijeni, bhabheleketanje bhandu bhabhili eu bhatatu, numbe jumojumo, na apagwe mundu shatalashiye malombolelo gakwe.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
Ikabheje akapagwe nkutalashiya malombolelo gakwe, bhai, abheleketa kwa shibheleketo shijenijo apumule nkanishamo, abhelekete sha muntima na a Nnungu bhakwe.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
Ga bhakwetenje kalama ja londola, bhabheleketanje bhabhili eu bhatatu, bhana bhatalashiyanje gabheleketwego.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Ibhaga mundu munkumbi gwa bhatemingene bhala, apataga nng'ibhulo na a Nnungu, bhai abheleketaga jula apumule.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
Pabha mmowe nnakombolanga kulunguya nntenga gwa a Nnungu jumo jumo, nkupinga mwijiganyanje na tagwa ntima.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Kalama ja londola, jijimililwe naka nkulondola.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
Pabha a Nnungu nngabha a Nnungu bha mpwai, ikabhe bha ulele malinga shiili kubhandunji bha ukonjelo.
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,
Malinga shiili nkubho, mmakanisha gowe ga bhandu bha a Nnungu, bhanabhakongwe bhanabheleketanje, ikabhe bhakundanje, malinga shijilugula Shalia ja a Musha.
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.”
Ibhaga bhapingangaga kubhuya, bhakaabhuyanje ashaambuje bhabhonji kumui. Pabha anatokomala jwankongwe abheleketa nnikanisha.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Bhuli, punkuganishiyanga lilobhe lya a Nnungu kulikopweshe kunngwenunji? Eu kuti linng'ishilenje mmanganyanjipe?
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.
Mundu aibhonaga kuti nkulondola jwa a Nnungu, eu ashikola shilo shika Mbumu, bhai amumanye kuti gene gungunnjandishilanga gano ni amuli ja Bhakulungwa.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Ikabheje apagwaga mundu akaapinga pilikana, bhai, jwenejo nnampilikanilanje.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
Bhai, ashaalongo ajangu, nkolanje lilaka lya londola, ikabhe nnaibhililanje mundu kubheleketa shibheleketo shijeni.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Ikabheje indu yowe itendeshe ukoto na kupanjilila.
