1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Uwanze ulugano na tamani tee ekarama zwa rohoni, zaidi tee mpata afumye ulukuwo.
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.
Maana umwahale yayanga kuvahulugha sayanga na bhantu ayanga no Ngolobhe. Afwanaje nomo yahwelewa afwanaje ayanga amambo gagafisishe katika Roho.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
Lelo umwahale yafumya ukuwa, ayanga na bhantu na abhazenje abhapele umwoyo na abhafaliji.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
Umwahale yayanga lugha ahwizenga yoyo, nantele umwahale yafumya ukuwa ashizenga eshibhanza.
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.
Eshi etamani aje amwe mwenti myanje lulugha lelo zaidi yego etamani aje mfumyaie ukuwa. Umwahale yafumya ukuwe gosi ashile umwahale yayanga hu lugha (au abhaje uwafafanule), ili aje eshibhanza shipate azengwe.
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?
Lelo eshi, kolu ni yilombo bhane nkenenze hwilimwe na ayanje hu lugha, embabhavzwe yenu amwe? Sebwezizwe, esipokuwa eyanga namwe hwidala elye ufunuo, au hwidala elye enjele au ukuwa au hwidala elye isambelezwo.
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?
Nkashile evintu vyasevino womo nkashele efilimbi au eshinubi nkashele sezifumya izu zwazili payo, ibhamanyishewele aje huntushi hahahwanga?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Eshi nkashile ebhe endundwe ibhafumya izu lyaselimanyiha ni shanamna wele umntu abhamanye aje muda wele ungwa hwilenganye ungwa hwibho?
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.
Shesho na mwe. Nkamfumye humele izu lyasaliliwazi ni kwa namna wele aelewe yamyanga? Mwabha myanga, na nomo yabhabhelewe.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
Nemo ewasiwasi aje elugha nyinji aziminji munsi, na nemo hata emo yaselinemana.
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.
Antele nkebhe semenye imana eyelugha, ambabhe jenyi hwamwahale mwene yayanga wape yayanga abhabhe jenyi hwiline.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
Shesho na mwe. Afwatanaje mtamani tee alole ahavisye kikisye wa Roho, anzi aje mzidi tee alizenje ibhanza.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Eshe, umwahale yayanga hu lugha na alabhe apewe afanule.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Nkashele nkendabha hu lugha eroho yane elabha lelo enjele zwane sezinamadondo.
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.
Embombe yenu? Embalabhe huroho yane, antele embalabhe hunjele zwane. Imbatele huroho yane na mbatele hunjele zwane antele.
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?
Antele nkalombe Ongolobhe huroho mwene yalijenyi abhahweteshewele “Amina” nofumya emwasalipa, wakoti sazimenye zwoyanda?
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Antele lyoli awe usalifwa shinza, antele ula uwenje sazengwa.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
Ehusalifwa Ungolobhe afwatanaje eyanga hu lugha zaidi yamwene mwenti.
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.
Lelo mwibhanza ni heri enjanje amanzu ngasanu hunjele zwane ili embamanyezwe abhaje, zaidi eyayanje enongwa kumi elfu hu lugha.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Nkolo no yilombo bhane, mgajebhe bhana katika asebhe hwenyu. Badala yakwe, mhwa vwanu nembibhi, bhanji neshi abhana abhela. Lelo katika asebhe hwenyu mubhe bhantu bhagosi.
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.”
Isibwilwe katika sheria hwabhantu abhe lugha ezwamwao na humalomu agajenyi embayanje na bhantu ebha. Wala antele sebhanza novwe ayanga uGosi.
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.
Esho enjango mbonesyo sio hwabhalinalyeteho hwa bhala bha sebhamolyeteho lelo afumye ukuwe mboneseyo hwabhelyeteho elelo hwabhala bhabhali no lyeteho.
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?
Eshi, nkebhe eshibhanza shonti shitangene pandwemo na bhonti bhayanga enjango na unjenyi na bhasebhali nolyeteho bhinjie, je sebhanzayanje aje namna azimu?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
Lelo nkebhe mwenti mfumya ukuwe yasali nolyeteho au unjenyi winjila abhavutwe nagonti gabhahovwe abhalongwe na gonti gagayangwa.
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.
Esiri ezwe mwoyo wakwe nkazifunuliwa. Amantikeo yakwe, wenzagagwa ahwina mehwinama na hupute Ongolobhe. Wenzaga humweteshe aje Ungolobhe alipamoja namwe.
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.
Henu hahafwata eshi nkolo no yilombo bhane? Namtangana pandwemo shila muntu ane Zaburi, ana sembelezwo ane mbonezwo ane njango au afasiri. Bhombi kila hantu ili mlizenje ibhanza.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Nkashile kila muntu ayanga hunjango, bhabhaje bhabhele au bhatatu na shila mntu shatanilane na umuntu lazima atafasiri haha ya ngwilye.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
Lelo nkashile nomo umntu wa tafsiri, basi kila muntu akhale kati mhati mshibhanza. Basi kila muntu ayaje mwene hwa Ngolobhe.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
Na akuwabhabhele au bhatatu bhayanje bhamwa bhatejelezwaje ili bhafasiri shashiyangwilwe.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Lelo yakheye nkawafunuliwa ijambo katika huduma ulayayangaga apomaje kati.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
Afwatanaje shila muntu awezizwe afumye ukuwa amo baada ya wamwao ili aje shila muntu awezwe asambelele na bhonti bhawezwe apati omwoyo.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Afatanaje roho eya kuwazili pansi ya bhenyelezi bhabha kuwa.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
Afwanaje Ungolobhe se Ngolobhe uwemabhibhi, bali we amani. Neshe sheli katika amabhanza gonti age bhelyeteho,
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,
Mhwanziwa abhashe bhakhala je kati mwibhanza afwanaje sebhahwanziwa ayanje. Baada yakwe bhawaziwa abhe bhanyekevu neshe esheria seyanga.
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.”
Nkashile hahweli hahonti bhatamani asambele, basi bhabhabhoziwaje alume bhabho amwabho afwanaje soni hwa she ayaje mshibhanza.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Je izu elya Ngolobhe lyafumile hwilimwe? Je libhafishe amwe tu?
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.
Nkashele omuntu ahwilola aje wakuwe au wa rohoni iwanziwa agamanya amambo gembasimbila agaje ndajizwo ezwa Gosi.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Lelo nkasagamenye ega hayaleshi agajetambuliwe.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
Esho basi kolo na yilombo bhane, anzi tee afumye ukuwa wala mgaje huzubhile umuntu yoyonti ayanje unjango.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Lelo amambo gonti gabhombehaje huwinza na hutaratibu.
