1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love, (agape) and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that all of you may prophesy.
Imaneo fikoko; le salalao o añ’ arofoo, àntsake ty fitokiañe.
2 For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God: for no man understands him; nevertheless in the spirit (pneuma) he speaks mysteries.
Amy te tsy misaontsy ama’ ondaty ty milikoliko fa aman’ Añahare, le tsy fohi’ ondaty; amy te an-tro’e ty isaontsia’e raha mietake.
3 But he that prophesies speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Fe misaontsy am’ ondatio ty mpitoky, mampiraorao, mañosike vaho mampanintsiñe.
4 He that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the church.
Mañasoa ty vata’e ty milikoliko, fe mañonjoñe i Fivoriy ty mpitoky.
5 I would that all of you all spoke with tongues but rather that all of you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
Niteako te songa nilikoliko, fe kitrako t’ie mitoky. Losore’ ty mpitoky ty mpilikoliko tsy mampibejañe hañasoa i Fivoriy.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
Ie amy zao ry longo, naho pok’ ama’ areo ao iraho milikoliko, ino ty hañasoa anahareo naho tsy itaroñako famentabentarañe, ndra hilala, ndra fitokiañe, ndra fañòhañe?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
Fa ndra o raha tsy veloñe mañaka-peoo, he soly ke marovany, naho tsy miambakambake o feo’eo, aia ty haharendrehañe ty anoe’ i soliy ndra i marovaniy?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
Ie popoe’ i antsivay ty feo tsy fohiñe, ia ty hihentseñ’ aly.
9 So likewise all of you, except all of you utter by the tongue words (logos) easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for all of you shall speak into the air.
Inahareo ka, naho tsy ampivolañem-pameleke ty saontsy malange, aia ty aharendrehañe i tsaraeñey? amy t’ie hisaontsy an-tioke.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
Va’e tsifotofoto ty karazan-tsaontsy ami’ty voatse toy, leo raike ty tsy aman-dika’e.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks shall be a barbarian unto me.
Fe naho nofiko ty dika’ i saontsiy le alike amako i misaontsiy, le ho alike amy misaontsy ka iraho.
12 Even so all of you, forasmuch as all of you are zealous of spiritual (pneuma) gifts, seek that all of you may excel to the edifying of the church.
Inahareo ka, kanao sinda hanam-palalàn’ arofo, imaneo ty hampiraorao i Fivoriy.
13 Wherefore let him that speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
Le soa re te ihalalia’ i milikolikoy t’ie hahafandika.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit (pneuma) prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Amy t’ie miloloke am-pameleke hafa, miloloke ty troko, fe tsy mamokatse ty fitsakoreako.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, (pneuma) and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, (pneuma) and I will sing with the understanding also.
Inoñe aré? Toe hihalaly an-troko naho hihalaly am-pitsakoreañe, hisabo an-troko vaho hisabo am-betsevetse.
16 Else when you shall bless with the spirit, (pneuma) how shall he that occupies the room of the unlearned say Amen at your giving of thanks, seeing he understands not what you say?
Naho tsy izay, ie mitata an-trok’ao avao, aia ty hanoe’ i tsy niokey ty hoe: Ie izay! amy fañandriaña’oy kanao nofi’e i saontsi’oy.
17 For you verily give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Ndra te soa i fañandriaña’oy, tsy nahasoa ty ila’e.
18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than all of you all:
Andriañeko t’i Andrianañahare te hene ilikoarako likoliko;
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words (logos) with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words (logos) in an unknown tongue.
f’ie am-pivory ao, hamake te minday saontsy lime am-pitsakoreañe, hañòhako o ila’eo, ta te milikoliko an-tsara rai-ale.
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: nevertheless in malice be all of you children, but in understanding be men.
O ry longo, ko miha-ajaja am-betsevetse; eka, manoa hoe ajaja-kede am-palaiñañe, fe miañoña an-kihitse.
21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, says the LORD.
Pinatetse amy Hake ao ty hoe: Am-pameleke ankafankafa naho am-pivimbin’ ambahiny ty hitaroñako am’ondaty retiañe; fe ndra te izay, mbe tsy hitsendreñ’ ahy iereo, hoe t’i Talè.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serves not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Aa le nanoen-ko viloñe o likolikoo; tsy ho a o mpiatoo fa ho a o tsi-miantokeo; vaho tsy nanoeñe ho a o tsy miantokeo ty fitokiañe fa ho a o miatoo.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that all of you are mad?
Naho tsy izay, ie songa mifanontoñe ty Fivory, naho sindre milikoliko, vaho ie mizilike ao ty tsy mahafohiñe ndra o tsi-miantokeo, tsy hanoa’e t’ie gegegege hao?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believes not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
Fe naho hene mitoky, le ie mizilike ao ty tsi-miantoke ndra ty bahimo, songa hampiantok’ aze, sindre hampamotopotots’ aze
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you truthfully.
amy te naborake o mietake an-tro’eo; le hibaboke an-dahara’e eo re hitalaho aman’ Añahare vaho hitaroñe ty hoe: Toe ama’ areo etoa t’i Andrianañahare!
26 How is it then, brethren? when all of you come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
Akore amy zao ry longo? ie mifanontoñe, songa manàña sabo naho lañonañe naho famentabentarañe, naho likoliko miharo fandikàñe, vaho hene hanoeñe ho fampiraoraòañe.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
Naho eo ty milikoliko he roe, tsy mandikoatse telo, le ifandimbezañe, vaho tsy mete tsy am-pandika.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
F’ie naho po-pandika, le hianjiñe te am-Pivory ao, fa añ’arofo’e naho aman’ Añahare ty hitangongoa’e.
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
Ampilañono ty mpitoky telo ndra roe, le handanjalanja o ila’eo.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sits by, let the first hold his peace.
Ie entoeñe ka ty miambesatse, le hianjiñe ka i valoha’ey.
31 For all of you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
Hene mahazo mitoky am-pifandimbezeñe, soa te sindre hianatse, songa hosiheñe.
32 And the spirits (pneuma) of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Ie amy zao iambanea’ ty arofo’e ty mpitoky.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Amy te tsy fifandrakarakàñe t’i Andrianañahare fa fanintsiñañe. Hambañe amo fivori’ o noro’eo iabio,
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also says the law.
le hitam-pianjiñañe am-Pivory o rakembao, tsy apoke hisaontsy fa hiambane, ty amy pinatetse amy Hake ao.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Naho te hañontane iereo, le songa hañontane ty vali’e añ’anjomba’e ao; fa mahasalatse naho misaontsy am-Pivory ao ty rakemba.
36 What? came the word (logos) of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
Hete! Niboak’ ama’ areo hao i tsaran’ Añaharey? Hera, inahareo avao ty nivotraha’e?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
Naho eo ty mieva ho mpitoky, ndra aman’ arofo, soa re te hahatsikarake te lili’ i Talè o sokirekoo.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Aa naho eo ty tsy maharendreke, apoho re tsy hahafohine.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Ie amy zao ry longo milozoha fitokiañe vaho ko rarà’ areo ty milikoliko;
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
fa hene anòeñe ami’ty fañeva’e naho am-pahendreañe.
