1 Ukorintiyawa 14
1 Cheo ayi npiziru nsu nin filizunu Kutellẹ, bara inan se usu anaba.
Pursue love and be zealous for spiritual gifts, especially 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 who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. For no one understands him because he speaks hidden things in the Spirit.
3 Ulenge na adin su annabci, din liru nin nanitari atizanani ikunjo, atizanani likara, anin tizanani ayi asheu.
But the one who prophesies speaks to people to build them up, to encourage them, and to comfort them.
4 Ulenge na adin su uliru nin tilem din zazinu litimere, a unan sun annabci kpizina tukunan kilari Kutellẹ.
The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up 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.
Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues. But even more than that, I wish that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues (unless someone interprets so that the church may be built up).
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, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you? I cannot, unless I speak to you with revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or teaching.
7 Andi adadu nsali tilai nafo ishirya sa abengbeng na tiwuyi mine di ngangang ba, ima ti iyinzari umon yinin iyaghari idin wulusue?
If lifeless instruments are producing sounds—like the flute or the harp—and they do not produce different tones, how will anyone know what tune the flute or harp is playing?
8 Asa ipene kulantun ghe nin lon li wuyi ugan na lin likumba, umon ba ti iyinzari ayinin kubin kelu ndu likume?
For if the trumpet is played with an uncertain sound, how will anyone know when it is time to prepare for battle?
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.
So it is with you. If you utter speech that is unintelligible, how will anyone understand what you have said? You will be speaking, and no one will understand you.
10 Tilem duku gbardang nyi, na nlong duku sa uma'na ba.
There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning.
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.
But if I do not know the meaning of a language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me.
12 Anung wang andi idin yalinu nworu iyene Nfip micine in nan nya mine yitan yakyak n kelu kutin nlira.
So it is with you. Since you are eager for the manifestations of the Spirit, try to excel in the gifts that build up the church.
13 Ame ule na adin liru nin long lilem na asu nlira ase ukpiliuwe.
So the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he 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 in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
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.
What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, and I will also sing with my mind.
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?
Otherwise, if you praise God with the spirit, how will the outsider say “Amen” when you are giving thanks if 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 certainly give thanks well enough, but the other person is not built up.
18 Ngode Kutellẹ nworu nkatin minu vat nin su nliru nin tilem ngangang.
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
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 in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding so that I might instruct 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.
Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Rather, in regard to evil, be like infants. But in your thinking be mature.
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.
In the law it is written, “By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Even then they will not hear 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 then, tongues are a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers. But prophesying is for a sign, not for unbelievers, but for 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,
If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders and unbelievers come in, would they not say that you are insane?
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 you all were prophesying and an unbeliever or an outsider came in, he would be convicted by all he hears. He would be judged by all that is said.
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 would be revealed. As a result, he would fall on his face and worship God. He would declare that God is really among 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.
What is next then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Do everything so that you build up the church.
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 anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at most three, and each one in turn, then someone should interpret what is said.
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 is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in the church. Let each one speak to himself alone and to God.
29 Na a annabawa naba sa natat su uliru, na among anan lanzẹ nin dumun ulire na ibelle.
Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others listen with discernment to what is said.
30 Andi ujinjin duku nan nya lissosin mine na ayinno, na ame ulenge na ayita nlire ti tik.
But if an insight is given to one who is sitting in the service, let the one who had been speaking be silent.
31 Andi kogha mine nsu u annabnaci nalalarum bara kogha mine nan se likara nibinayi.
For each of you can prophesy one by one so that each one may learn and all may be encouraged.
32 Bara ti ruhu na anabawa, inung a anabawere nin nati mine din dortu mun.
For the spirits of the prophets are under the control of the prophets.
33 Bara na Kutellẹ. di Kutellẹ. ku shogolog ba, kun lisosin limanghari. Nafo na nitin nlira nanit alauwe di.
For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. This is the rule 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.
The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak. Instead, they should be in submission, as also the law 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.
If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
36 Uliru Kutellẹ na nuzu kiti minere? Anughere una duru kiti mine cassa?
Did the word of God come from you? Are you the only ones it has reached?
37 Asa umon din pillu ame annabiari sa unit unan ruhu, na a belu nenge imon ile na ina nyertin minu uduka Ncikilariari.
If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I write to you are a command of the Lord.
38 Asa umon nari ule ulire na iwa yinin ninghe. ba.
But if anyone does not recognize this, let him not be recognized.
39 Bara nani linuana, piziran usu nworu isu u ananbci, nani na iwa wanting uliru nin tilem ba.
So then, brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues.
40 Bara nani na tisu imon vat nan nyan kanang nin libau dert licine gegeme.
But let all things be done properly and in order.
