1 Ukorintiyawa 14
1 Cheo ayi npiziru nsu nin filizunu Kutellẹ, bara inan se usu anaba.
Follow after divine love; and seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.
2 Bara ulenge na adin su uliru nin long lilen na adin su uliru nin nanutari ba nin Kutelleari, na umon wasa ayininghe ba bara na adin bellu nan nya Nfip milau imon ile na inyesin.
For the one speaking with a tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one hears him; but he speaks mysteries in the spirit:
3 Ulenge na adin su annabci, din liru nin nanitari atizanani ikunjo, atizanani likara, anin tizanani ayi asheu.
but the one prophesying speaks to men edification, exhortation, and comfort.
4 Ulenge na adin su uliru nin tilem din zazinu litimere, a unan sun annabci kpizina tukunan kilari Kutellẹ.
The one speaking with a tongue edifies himself; but the one prophesying edifies the church.
5 In di nin su vat mine iwa din su uliru nin tong tilem, nin likati nane wang, usu nighari isu anabci. Ulenge na adinsuzu anabci katin unan liru nin tilem adi na unan kpilizu tileme duku ba, bara kilari nlire nan se ukunu.
But I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that you may prophesy: but greater is the one prophesying, than the one speaking with tongues, unless he may interpret, in order that the church may receive edification.
6 Nene nuana nilime nin nishono, nwa dak kitimine nnin liru nin tong tilem, iyaghari ima se kitinighe, se de ntunun minu nliru fwang, sa uyiru, sa anabci, sa udursuzu kiti?
But now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I shall speak to you either in revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or in instruction?
7 Andi adadu nsali tilai nafo ishirya sa abengbeng na tiwuyi mine di ngangang ba, ima ti iyinzari umon yinin iyaghari idin wulusue?
Nevertheless things without life, giving forth a voice, whether pipe or harp, if it may not give a distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped, or what is harped?
8 Asa ipene kulantun ghe nin lon li wuyi ugan na lin likumba, umon ba ti iyinzari ayinin kubin kelu ndu likume?
For if indeed the trumpet may give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the war?
9 Nanere di ni ghinue wang; asa idin su uliru nin ti gbulang tongo nati di kanan ba, iyizari imati umong yining imon ile na ibelle, iba liru, na umon ba yinu ba.
Thus also if you through the tongue may give an indistinct word, how will that which is spoken be known? for you will be speaking into the air.
10 Tilem duku gbardang nyi, na nlong duku sa uma'na ba.
If it so happens that there are so many kinds of voices in the world, and nothing without a voice;
11 Bara nani andi na nyinno imong ile na idin belẹ nin long lilem ba, nmaso kumara kiti nnan lirẹ, ame unan lirẹ wang so kumara kitining.
if then I do not understand the power of the voice, I will be a barbarian to the one speaking, and the one speaking will be a barbarian to me.
12 Anung wang andi idin yalinu nworu iyene Nfip micine in nan nya mine yitan yakyak n kelu kutin nlira.
So also you, since you are zealots of spirits, seek that you may abound unto the edification of the church.
13 Ame ule na adin liru nin long lilem na asu nlira ase ukpiliuwe.
Therefore let the one speaking with a tongue, pray that one may interpret.
14 Bara nwa ti nlira nin long lilem, uruhu nghari di nlire a na kibinayi ni nnin mara imon icine ba.
For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit is praying, but my mind is not fruitful.
15 Nyaghari meng basu? Mba su nlira nin ruhu ning, nkquru nsu nlira nin kibinayi ning tutung. Mba su avu nin ruhu nin, nkuru su avu nin kibinayi nin tutung.
Then what is it? I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray with my mind also: I will sing with my spirit, and I will sing with my mind also.
16 Andi na nani ba, uwa su liru Kutellẹ nin ruhu ame ule na adin lanzu timap feba ti inyizari aworo ''usonani'' andi udin nakpu ngudiya, a na ame yiro imon ilenge na fe din belue ba?
Since if you may bless with the spirit, how will one occupying the place of the unlearned say Amen to your blessing? since he does not know what you are saying.
17 Fe nnaKpa ugudiyẹ fe gegeme kang, na ulele in nin setikunang nan nya ba.
For you indeed bless beautifully, but the other is not edified.
18 Ngode Kutellẹ nworu nkatin minu vat nin su nliru nin tilem ngangang.
I thank God, I speak with tongue more than you all:
19 Ukatin mengku nworu nbelin agbulang ataun nan nya kuti Nlira nin yinnu ning nnan kele among, nnin woru nenge nbelin agbulang amui nin tilem likure a na umong lanza ba.
but I would rather speak five words in the church with my understanding, so that I may indeed teach others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 Nuana nilime ni nishono, na iwa su ukpilizu tinonoba. Kitene nimon inanzang, son nafo nono, nan nya kpilizu mine yitan awasara.
Brethren, be not children in intellect: but be infants in evil, but be perfect in intellect.
21 Nan nya sharawe ina yertin, “Kiti nanit tilem tilem nin tinu namarari nma liru nin nanit alele; vat nin nani na ima lanzui ba,” Ubellun Ncikilari.
It has been written in the law; I will speak to this people with other tongues and with the lips of others; and thus they will not hearken unto me, says the Lord.
22 Bara nani tileme alamar, na kiti na nan dortu Kutellẹ ba, se kiti na nan salin dortu Kutellẹ. U anabci na kulapari kiti na nan ṣali dortu Kutellẹ ba se kiti na nan dortu Kutellẹ.
So tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelievers: and prophecy is not for the unbelievers, but for the believers.
23 Andi bara nanere, vat anan dortu Kutellẹ nwa dazuro isu uliru nin tilem, anan das nin nanan salin dortu Kutellẹ nin da pira, na iba woru tidi nin nilazaba? ag,
Then if the whole church may come together, and all may speak with tongues, and the unlearned or unbelievers may come in, will they not say that you are gone mad?
24 Iwa din woru vat mine di nan nya annabci kunan das sa unan salin dortu Kutellẹ nin da pira, amase uyinnu vat nile imon na alanza, ame kpilizu nin litime imon irika na alanza idin belue.
But if all may prophesy, and some unbeliever or unlearned person may come in, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all;
25 Imon liyeshin kibinayi me ba nuzu kanang anin diu nin muro me a su Kutellẹ usujada a durso kanang Kutellẹ nan nya mine.
the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and thus falling upon his face he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly in you.
26 N'yaghari tutung nuana nilime nin nishono? Iwa da zuro ligowe, umon dinin na sem, umon udursuzu kiti, umon upuzunu nimon, umon uliru nin tilem, sa ukpilizu tilem. Na tisu imon vat ti nan se tikunant kuti Nlira.
Then what is it, brethren? When you may come together, each one has a psalm, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.
27 Asa umon lira nin lon lilem, na ise anit naba sa natat, nan nya mine, ise umon unan kpilizu nimon ile na ibelle.
If one speaks with a tongue, let it he by twos, or at most by threes, and separately; and let one interpret;
28 Asa na unan kpiliu dukuba, kogha mine min tik nan nya kilari nlire, na ana su uliru nin litime usanme a Kutellẹ.
but if there may be no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church; but let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Na a annabawa naba sa natat su uliru, na among anan lanzẹ nin dumun ulire na ibelle.
But let two or three prophets speak, and let the others give audience;
30 Andi ujinjin duku nan nya lissosin mine na ayinno, na ame ulenge na ayita nlire ti tik.
but if something may be revealed to another sitting down, let the first be silent.
31 Andi kogha mine nsu u annabnaci nalalarum bara kogha mine nan se likara nibinayi.
For you are all able to prophesy one by one, in order that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 Bara ti ruhu na anabawa, inung a anabawere nin nati mine din dortu mun.
Truly the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;
33 Bara na Kutellẹ. di Kutellẹ. ku shogolog ba, kun lisosin limanghari. Nafo na nitin nlira nanit alauwe di.
for he is not a God of confusion, but of peace. So in all the churches of the saints,
34 Na awani mizin tik nan nya niti nlira. Bara na iyina nani isu uwiliru ba, na inughe yita nin ni nati, nanere uduke din belu.
let the women be silent in the churches: for it is not permitted to them to talk; but let them be subordinate, as the law also says.
35 Andi imoimon duku ile na idin konu nani ayi inyinnuẹ na itirin ales mine nilari. Bara imon ncinghari uwani su uliru nan nya kilari nlira.
But if they wish to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is disgraceful for a woman to talk in church.
36 Uliru Kutellẹ na nuzu kiti minere? Anughere una duru kiti mine cassa?
Whether did the word of God come out from you? or has it reached unto you alone?
37 Asa umon din pillu ame annabiari sa unit unan ruhu, na a belu nenge imon ile na ina nyertin minu uduka Ncikilariari.
If any one seems to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him understand the things which I write to you, that they are of the Lord;
38 Asa umon nari ule ulire na iwa yinin ninghe. ba.
but if any one ignores, he is ignored.
39 Bara nani linuana, piziran usu nworu isu u ananbci, nani na iwa wanting uliru nin tilem ba.
So, my brethren, be zealous to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues;
40 Bara nani na tisu imon vat nan nyan kanang nin libau dert licine gegeme.
but let all things be done decently and in order.
