Korineto I 14
1 E HAHAI oukou mamuli o ke aloha, a e iini oukou i na oihana o ka Uhane, e iini nui nae ma ka wanana ana aku.
Labour after charity, and be desirous of spiritual gifts: but especially that ye may prophesy.
2 O ka mea olelo i ka olelo e, aole ia i olelo i kanaka, aka, i ke Akua no; no ka mea, aohe mea nana e lohe pono; aka, ma ka uhane, ua olelo ia i na mea pohihihi.
For he, that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no one understandeth, though in spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 O ka mea wanana aku, olelo no ia i kanaka, ma ka mea e naauao ai, a me ka mea e ikaika ai, a me ka mea e oluolu ai.
But he, that prophesieth, speaketh edification, and exhortation, and comfort to men.
4 O ka mea olelo i ka olelo e, ua hoonaauao oia ia ia iho; aka, o ka mea wanana aku, ua hoonaauao ia i ka ekalesia.
He, that speaketh in an unknown tongue, edifieth himself: but he, that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
5 Ua makemake au e olelo oukou a pau i ka olelo e, e aho no nae ke wanana aku oukou a pau; no ka mea, ua oi ka mea wanana mamua o ka mea olelo i ka olelo e, ke hoakaka ole ia, i loaa ka naauao i ka ekalesia.
I could wish that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edification.
6 E na hoahanau e, ina e hele aku au io oukou la, me ka olelo i ka olelo e, pehea la e pono ai oukou in'u, ke olelo ole aku au ma ka hoike ana, a ma ka hoonaauao ana, a ma ka wanana ana, a ma ke ao ana aku?
Now, my brethren, if I come to you speaking with many tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak intelligibly to you of revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or doctrine?
7 A o na mea kani, oia ole, o ka ohe, o ka lira paha, ina aole i hoomaopopoia ke kani ana, pehea la e ikea ai ke ano o ka hookiokio ana, a me ka hookanikani ana?
As inanimate things which give a found, whether pipe or harp, unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall what is piped or harped be understood?
8 Ina i kani maopopo ole ka pu, owai la ka mea hoomakaukau ia ia iho no ke kaua?
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle?
9 Pela no hoi oukou, ina aole oukou e olelo ma ka waha i na mea maopopo ke lohe ia, pehea la e ikea ai ka mea i oleloia? no ka mea, e olelo no oukou i ka makani.
So also unless ye utter by the tongue intelligible words, how shall what is spoken be understood? for thus ye will be only talking to the wind.
10 Manomano paha na olelo ma ke ao nei, aole i koe kekahi me ke ano ole.
There are, it may be, as many kinds of voices in the world as people, and none of them insignificant.
11 Aka, ina aole au i ike i ke ano o ka olelo, e lilo no wau i mea naaupo i ka mea nana e olelo mai; a e lilo no ka mea e olelo ana, i naaupo ia'u.
But if I know not the force of the words, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian to me.
12 Pela hoi, me oukou e iini nei i na oihana o ka Uhane, e iini oukou, i pakela ae oukou i ka hoonaauao aku i ka ekalesia.
So ye also, since ye are so desirous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound in them to the edification of the church.
13 Nolaila, o ka mea olelo i ka olelo e, e pule ia, i hiki ia ia ke hoakaka aku.
Wherefore let him, that speaketh in an unknown tongue, pray that he may interpret.
14 No ka mea, ina e pule au ma ka olelo e, ua pule kuu uhane, aka, o ko'u naau ike, ua hua ole ia.
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit indeed prayeth, but my meaning is fruitless.
15 Heaha la hoi? E pule no wau ma ka uhane, a e pule no hoi ma ka naau ike. E hiraeni no wau ma ka uhane, a e himeni no ma ka naau ike.
What is then to be done? I will pray with the Spirit, but I will pray to be understood: I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing to be understood.
16 Ina e hoomaikai aku oe me ka uhane wale no, pehea la e hiki ai i ka mea e noho ana ma ka naaupo, ke olelo, Amene, i kau hoomaikaf ana aku; no ka mea, aole ia i loho i ka mea au i olelo ai.
For if thou bless in the spirit, how shall the unlearned say Amen to thy thanksgiving, when he knoweth not what thou sayst?
17 Ua pono nae kau hoomaikai ana, aka, aole kela i hoonaauaoia.
thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 Ke aloha aku nei au i ke Akua, e pakela ana au mamua o oukou a pau ma ka olelo i na olelo e:
I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all.
19 Aka, ma ka aha ekalesia, no ka hoonaauao ia hai, ua oi aku ko'u make make o olelo i na huaolelo elima ma ke ano maopopo, i na huaolelo he umi tausani ma ka olelo e.
But in a public assembly I had rather speak five words to be understood, that I may instruct others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
20 E na hoahanau e, mai lilo oukou i kamalii ma ka naauao; ma ka hewa no e kamalii ai, aka, ma ka naauao e lilo oukou i kanaka makua.
My brethren, be not children in sense: but in malice be infants, and in your judgements shew yourselves to be men.
21 Ua palapalaia ma ke kanawai, Me na olelo e, a me na lehelehe e, e olelo aku ai au i keia poe kanaka; aole nae lakou e hoolohe mai ia'u ma ia mea, wahi a ka Haku.
It is written in the law, "By men of another language, and by other lips, will I speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to me, saith the Lord."
22 No ia mea, he hoailona ka olelo e, aole no ka poe manaoio, aka, no ka poe manaoio ole: a o ka wanana, aole ia na ka poe hoomaloka, na ka poe manaoio no.
So that tongues are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers: but prophecy not to unbelievers but to those that believe.
23 Nolaila, ina i akoakoaia ka ekalesia a pau ma kahi hookahi, a olelo lakou a pau ma ka olelo ano e, a i komo mai hoi ka poe naaupo paha, a hoomaloka paha, aole anei lakou e olelo ae, Ua hehena oukou?
If then the whole church be come together and all speak in unknown tongues, and there come in illiterate persons, or infidels, will they not say that ye are mad?
24 Aka, ina wanana na mea a pau, a hele mai kekahi mea hoomaloka, a naaupo paha, ua aoia oia e na mea a pau, ua ahewaia oia e na mea a pau.
But if all prophesy, and there come in an unbeliever, or one unlearned, he is convinced by all, he is judged by all.
25 Pela e hoomaopopoia mai ai na mea huna o kona naau; a e hoomana aku ia i ke Akua, me ka moe o kona alo ilalo, a e hai aku no hoi ia i ka oiaio o ko ke Akua noho pu ana me oukou.
And thus the secrets of his heart are made manifest; so that falling down upon his face he will worship God, declaring that God is indeed among you.
26 Pehea la hoi, e na hoahanau? I ko oukou akoakoa ana, he himeni no ka kela mea keia mea, a he manao no, a he olelo ano e, he wanana, a he olelo hoakaka. E pono no e hanaia na mea a pau ma ka mea e naauao ai.
What is then to be done, my brethren? when ye come together, if any of you hath a psalm, a doctrine, a tongue, a revelation, an interpretation, ---let all be done for edification.
27 Ina e olelo kekahi ma ka olelo e, i elua wale no laua e olelo, a ina ekolu, ua nui loa ia; e pakahi hoi lakou, a na kekahi e hoakaka mai.
And if any one speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at most by three, and that by turns; and let one interpret.
28 Aka, ina aole mea nana e hoakaka mai, e noho malie ia maloko o ka ekalesia; a e olelo oia ia ia iho, a i ke Akua hoi.
But if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly; and let him speak to himself and to God.
29 A o na kau la hoi, e olelo lakou, i elua, a i ekolu paha, a e nana mai hoi ka poe i koe.
And let but two or three of the prophets speak, and the others judge.
30 Ina he mea i hoikeia mai na kekahi e noho ana, e pono no i ka mea mua e noho malie.
And if any thing be revealed to another sitting by, let the first have done speaking before the other begins.
31 No ka mea, e pono ia oukou a pau ke wanana pakahi aku, i naauao na kanaka a pau, i oluolu hoi na kanaka a pau.
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 No ka mea, o ka mea a ka Uhane iloko o ke kaula, ua malama no ia i ke kaula.
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets:
33 Aole na ke Akua mai ka uluaoa, o ke kuikahi no kana, a pela no ma na halawai haipule a pau.
for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all the assemblies of the saints.
34 E noho malie no ka oukou wahine ma ka aha ekalesia, no ka mea, aole i aeia mai ia lakou e olelo; e hoolohe wale no lakou, e like me ka ke kanawai i olelo mai ai.
Let your women be silent in your assemblies: for it is not permitted to them to speak, but they are to be in subjection, as the law saith.
35 A ina manao lakou e aoia, e ninau lakou i ka lakou kane, ma ko lakou wahi iho; no ka mea, he mea hilahila ke olelo ka wahine ma ka ekalesia.
And if they would learn any thing, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it does not become women to speak in a public assembly.
36 Mai o oukou mai anei ka olelo a ke Akua i hele mai ai? I hele aku anei ia io oukou la wale no?
Did the word of God come out first from you? or did it come to you only?
37 Ina i manao kekahi o oukou, he kaula paha ia, he mea ike i ka mea o ka uhane paha, e pono ia ia ke ae mai i ka oiaio o ka olelo a'u e palapala aku nei, o ke kauoha keia a ka Haku.
If any one seem to be a prophet, or acted by the Spirit, let him acknowlege that what I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 Aka, ina e naaupo kekahi, e naaupo no.
But if any will be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 No ia mea, e na hoahanau, e iini oukou ma ka wanana, aole hoi e papa aku i ka olelo ana ma ka olelo e.
Wherefore, my brethren, be most desirous to prophesy, and yet forbid not to speak with tongues:
40 E hana i na mea a pau ma ka maikai, a me ka hoonohonoho pono.
but let all things be done decently and in order.
