1 Korintoarrei 14
1 Çarreitzate chariteari, eta çareten dohain spiritual guthicioso, baina guehienic prophetiza deçaçuen.
Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
2 Ecen lengoage arrotzez minço dena etzaye guiçoney minço, baina Iaincoari: ecen nehorc eztu ençuten, eta spirituz mysterioac erraiten ditu.
For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.
3 Baina prophetizatzen duena, guiçoney minço çaye edificationetan, eta exhortationetan, eta consolationetan.
But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.
4 Lengoage arrotzez minço denac, bere buruä edificatzen du: baina prophetizatzen duenac, Eliçá edificatzen du.
The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
5 Nahi dut bada çuec gucioc lengoage diuersez minça çaitezten, baina nahiago prophetiza deçaçuen ecen handiago da prophetizatzen duena ecen ez lengoage diuersez minço dena, baldin interpretatzen ezpadu, Eliçác edificatione har deçançát.
I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.
6 Bada orain, anayeác, baldin banathor çuetara lengoage arrotzez minço naicela, cer probetchu eguinen drauçuet: baldin minça ezpanaquiçue edo reuelationez, edo scientiaz, edo prophetiaz, edo doctrinaz?
Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
7 Eta gauça arima gabe soinu emaiten dutenec- ere edo den chirula, edo harpa, baldin cerbait differentia tonuz ezpademate, nolatan eçaguturen da chiruláz edo harpáz ioiten dena?
Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?
8 Ecen baldin soinu iaquin-bat eman ezpadeça trompettác, nor preparaturen da bataillara?
Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?
9 Hala çuec-ere baldin adi daitequeen hitza mihiaz pronuntia ezpadeçaçue, nolatan adituren da erraiten dena? ecen airera minçaçale içanen çarete.
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
10 Hambat (heltzen ohi den beçala) soinu mota da munduan, eta batre ezta muturic.
Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
11 Beraz baldin ezpadaquit vozaren verthutea, içanen natzayó minço denari barbaro: eta minço çaitadana barbaro içanen çait.
If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.
12 Hala çuec-ere dohain spiritual guthicioso çaretenaz gueroz, çarreitzate hetan abundoso içateari Eliçaren edificationetan.
It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.
13 Halacotz lengoage arrotzez minço denac othoitz begui interpreta ahal deçançát.
Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
14 Ecen baldin lengoage arrotzez othoitz eguiten badut, ene spirituac othoitz eguiten du: baina ene adimendua fructu gabe da.
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
15 Cer bada? othoitz eguinen dut spirituz, baina othoitz eguinen dut adimenduz-ere: cantaturen dut spirituz, baina cantaturen dut adimenduz-ere.
What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
16 Bercela, baldin benedica badeçac spirituz, ignorantaren lekua daducanac nolatán erranen du Amen hire remerciamenduaren gainera? ecen hic cer erraiten duan etzeaquic.
Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
17 Ecen hic bay esquerrac emaiten dituc, baina bercea eztatec edificatzen.
You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.
18 Esquerrac emaiten drauzquiot neure Iaincoari, ceren çuec gucioc baino guehiago lengoagez minço bainaiz.
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
19 Baina Eliçán nahiago naiz borz hitz neure adimenduz minçatu, berceac-ere instrui ditzadançát, ecen ez hamar milla hitz lengoage arrotzez.
But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 Anayeác, etzaretela adimenduz haour: baina çareten malitiaz haour, eta adimenduz çareten guiçon eguinac.
Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
21 Leguean scribatua da, Halacotz berce lengoagetaco gendez, eta ezpain arrotzez minçaturen natzayo populu huni: eta are halatan eznaute ençunen, dio launac.
It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”
22 Bada lengoage arrotzac dirade seignaletan, ez sinhesten duteney, baina infideley: baina prophetiá, ez infideley, baina sinhesten duteney.
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
23 Bada baldin Eliça gucia bil badadi batetara, eta guciac lengoage arrotzez minça ditecen, eta ignorantac, edo infidelac sar ditecen: eztuté erranen, ecen erhotzen çaretela?
So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
24 Baina baldin guciéc prophetizatzen baduté, eta sar dadin cembeit infidel edo ignorant, vençutzen da guciéz, eta iugeatzen da guciéz.
But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,
25 Eta halatan haren bihotzeco secretuac manifestatzen dirade: eta hala ahoz beheraturic adoraturen du Iaincoa, declaratzen duela ecen Iaincoa eguiazqui çuetan dela.
and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
26 Cer da bada anayeac? biltzen çareten oroz, çuetaric batbederac psalmu du, doctrina du, reuelatione du, lengoage du, interpretatione du, gauça guciac edificationetan eguin bitez.
What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.
27 Ezpa lengoage arrotzez edocein minço bada, biguez edo gorena hirurez eguin bedi, eta aldizca: eta batec interpreta beça.
If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.
28 Eta baldin interpretaçaleric ezpada, ichil bedi Eliçan lengoage arrotzez minço dena, eta bere buruäri minça bequió eta Iaincoari.
But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
29 Eta biga edo hirur Propheta minça bitez, eta bercéc iugea beçate.
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
30 Eta baldin cerbait berce iarriric dagoen bati reuelatu içan baçayó, lehena ichil bedi.
And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.
31 Ecen guciéc bata bercearen ondoan prophetiza ahal deçaqueçue, guciéc ikas deçatençát, eta guciac consola ditecençát.
For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
32 Eta Prophetén spirituac Prophetén suiet dirade.
The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
33 Ecen Iaincoa ezta confusionezco Iainco, baina baquezco, sainduén Eliça gucietan agueri den beçala.
For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.
34 Çuen emazteac Elicetan ichilic beude: ecen etzaye permettitzen minçatzera: baina bire suiet, Legueac-ere erraiten duen beçala.
Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
35 Eta baldin cerbait ikassi nahi baduté, etchean bere senharrac interroga bitzate: ecen deshonest da emaztén Eliçán minçatzea.
If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.
36 Ala çuetaric Iaincoaren hitza ilki içan da? ala çuetara beretara heldu içan da?
Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
37 Baldin cembeitec vste badu Propheta dela, edo spiritual, eçagut beça ecen scribatzen drauzquiçuedan gauçác Iaincoaren manamendu diradela.
If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
38 Eta ignorant dena, ignorant biz.
But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
39 Halacotz, anayeác, çareten prophetizatzera guthicioso, eta lengoage arrotzez minçatzea ezteçaçuela empatcha.
So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40 Baina gauça guciac bidezqui eta ordenançaz eguin bitez.
But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.
