1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Utyati uulowa ninsula nakukila kuipegwa niakenkolo, kukila lukulu mulije kupumya ikidagu.
2 For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
Ndogoilyo nuanso nuenena kuntambu shawiligilya neantu inge wiligilya ni Tunda. Ndogoilyo kutile nuelenga kunsoko ukuligilya makani nipikile munkolo.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
Kuite uyu nuepumya ikenyakidagu, witambula neantu nukuazenga, nukuapa umoyo, nukudua iza.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
Nuanso nukunene kuutambu wizenga ung'wenso kuite nuanso nuepumya ekenyakidagu welezenga itekeelo.
5 Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.
Itungo ite nkete nsula kina unye mehi munene kuntambu. Kuite kukila aya, insula ane kina mupumye ikinyakidagu. Nuanso nuepumya ekenyakidagu inge mukulu kukela uyu nuenena kuntambu (kuala angeze ukole numanyile), nsoko kina itekeelo lehume kuzengwa.
6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
Itungo ele ite akaka neadada ane niza kitalanyu nukunena kuntambu, kumuailya ntoni? Sikukondya, inge kutambula nunyenye kunzila aukunukuilwa, ang'wi kunzila amahale, ang'wi kinyakidagu, ang'wi kunzila akumanyisa.
7 Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
Angeze imaintu nemagila uupanga anga pilembe ang'wi kenubi neshayepumya utuli nutulekanukile, yukulengeka ule keseme ke nekekiginswa?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Kundogoilyo angeze ebalagumu ekupumya ululi neshalulengekile, umuntu ukulenga ule kena matungo akihamba kubi kumbita.
9 So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
Uu nunyenye. Anga mupumye kululeme ulukani neshalatai, umuntu ukutenga mukuligitya ntuni? Ikaamukuligilya, kutile nukumulenga.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
Kutile angakuailya kina ikole ntambu yedu mihe, hange kutile anga nengwi nengila indogoilyo.
11 If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
Kuite angeze singamine indogoilyo antambu, ikanumezeela kung'wa uyu nukunena, nuyu nukunena ikamizeela kung'waane.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
Uu nunyenye. Kunsoko mukete nsula kukila kuona uwigeeli nuankolo, mulowe kina kukila lukulu kulezenga itekeelo.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Uuu, nuanso nukunena kuutambu nualompe wapegwa kulinja.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Kundogoilyo anganompe kuntambu, inkolo ane ilompa, kuite imahala ane magila inkali.
15 What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
Ntende uli? Kulompa kunkolo ane, kuite gwa hulompa nukumahala ane. Kimba kunkolo ane, hange kemba nukumahala ane gaa.
16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
Ang'wi shanga uu, umukulye Itunda kunkolo, nuanso numizeila ukiteka ule, “Huuela” nukupumya isongeelyo, angeze shuine nutungile?
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Kundogoilyo inge tai uewe ukusongeelya uza, kuite numungiza shanga ukuzengwa.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
Numusongeeye Itunda kunsoko kunena kuntambu kukila unye meehi.
19 However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
Kuite mitekeelo bahu nene nkani itaano kuulengi wane nsoko ndije kuamanyisa niangiza, kukila kunene nkani ikumi elfu kuntambu.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Akaka nia dada ane muleke kutula nuang'enya kusiga kitalanyu. Kuleka ite, kutula palung'wi nuubi, mutule anga ang'enya neadabu. Kuite kusiga kung'waanyu mutule miantu niakulu.
21 In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
Iandekilwe milago, “kuantu antambu nengeza nukumilomo nungiza kutambula neantu wawa. Atezeuu shanga akunija,” ukulunga u Mukulu.
22 Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
Uuu, une nekelengasiilyo, singa kuawa niahuie, inge kuawa neshaahuie. Kuite kupumya ikenya kidagu inge kilengasiilyo, singa kuawa nesheahuie, inge nsoko ao niahuie.
23 If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
Ee, angeze itekeelo lehi lilingie palung'wi hange ehi anene kuntambu, neauya nishaakuie ingie, itee shamuhumile kulungan3e kina mukete alungu?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
Kuite angeze iantu akupumya ikinyakidagu nuyu nushuhuie ang'wi mizeela wingila ukupepeligwa naya ehi numigulye. Ukulamulwa nayo nakutambulwa.
25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
Unkunku wakwe nuamunkolo aeyeze lugulwa. Wigeeli wakwe, auzengwa keeundala nukumukulya Itunda. Auzekili kina Itunda ukule pakati itu anyu.
26 What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
Ntyatile ntuni gwa, akaka nuadada anee? Nemukutankana palung'wi, kela ung'wi ukete zabuli, umanyisi, uukunukuli, ntambu, ang'wi kutafisili. Itumi kela ekentu mulezenge itekeelo.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Ang'wi wehi ukunene kuntambu, ezeakole abiili ang'wi atatu, hange kela muntu muzamu. Numuntu kusinja watafisiri nikikutambulwa.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
Kuite ang'wi kutile umuntu nuakutafisili, inge ehi ikie akilaje mukati nitekeelo. Inge hela ung'wi wao waligilye ung'wenso udu ni Tunda.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
Hange anyakidagu abiili ang'wi ataatu anene, niangiza ategeelye nukumanya nekiligiligwe.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Kuite nuikie anga wakunukuilwe ikani muwitumi, uyu nazaukunena wakilage.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
Kunsoko kela ung'wi wanyu uhumile kupumya ikidagu uung'wi hanza numuya hange insoko kina kela uung'wi akume kumanya hange ehi ahume kutiwa umoyo.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Kunsoko inkolo yaanyakidagu ikole pihe augozi nuanyakidagu.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
Kunsoko Itunda singa Itunda nuaubili, inge waupolo anga uu nieli mumatekeelo naahueli.
34 Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,
Yeauonee iasungu akilage mitekeelo, kunsoko singa agombigwe kuligitya.
35 if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”
Ang'wi kukole kehi akulija insula kumanya, inge akolye iagohoo kito. Kunsoko minyala umusungu kuligitya mitekeelo.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Itee ulukani lang'wi Tunda aelupumile kitalanyune? Itee lemupikie unyenye udune?
37 If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
Ang'wi umuntu ukiona munyakidagu, ang'wi wakinkolo yemunonee wamalenge imakani nekumuandekila kina malagiilyo a Mukulu.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Kuite anga wahite kulenga aya, muleki walekekulenga.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
Uuu inge akaka neadada ane, lowi kukila kupumya ekenyakidagu, hange muleke kumuigilya wehi kunena kuntambu.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Kuite imakani ehi atendeke kuuza nukutalatibu
