1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Mululondaghe ulughano na kunoghelua kyongo ifipelua ifya munumbula, looli mughinaghe kyongo ulwakuuti muka kyongo uvuviili.
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.
Ulwakuva umwene juno ijova injovele imia naijova na vaanhu looli ijova nu Nguluve. Ulwakuva nakwale juno ajitang'inie ulwakuva ijova sino sifisime mu Mhepo.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
Looli umwene juno ivila uvuviili, ijova navaanhu na pikuvakangasia inumbula, nakuvanyamasia.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
Umwene juno ijova injovele imia ikujimika mwene, looli umwene juno ivila uvuvili ikujenga ulukong'ano.
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.
Lino ninoghelua kuuti umue mweni mujovaghe injovele imia. looli pa isio sooni, ninoghelua kuuti muvilaghe uvuviili. Umwene juno ivila uvuviili ghwe mbaha kukila juno ijova injovele imia (nakuava avisaghe ughwa kughanula), ulwakuuti ulukong'ano lukagule kujengeka.
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?
Looli lino, vakuulu numue va mwanilumbu vango, ningise kulyumue nakujova injovele imia, nikuvavumbulila kiki umue? Nanighwesia, ulwene kuuti nijova numue kusila ija lusetulilo, nambe kusila ija vumang'anyi, nambe uvuvili, nambe kusila ija luvulanisio.
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?
Nambe ifinu ifisila vwumi heene filimbi nambe kilongilongi fingaleke kuhumia ilisio lino lipungilanile, kwande fikagulika ndani kye kiliku kino kinenilue?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Ulwakuva nave lukelema luhumia ilisio lino nalimanyika, luvisaghe ndani umuunhu ikagula kuuti ghwe nsiki ghwa kuling'ania ku lilugu.
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.
Lulivulevule najumue. Mungahumie nulumili ilisio lino nalyelyene, pe luva ndani umuunhubakagule kino mujova? Mujovaghe, nakwele juno kwande ikuvaling'ania.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
Nasakughanania kuuti kuliinjovele nyinga sili papinga mu iisi, nakwili nambe jimo insila luvumbulilo.
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.
Looli nave nanijikagwile injovele jiiti kiki, niva mesia kwa mwenejuno ijova, ghwop juno ikujijova iva mesia kulyune.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
Fye lulivuo kulyumue, Ulwakuva munoghelua kyongo kulola ivusilo sa Mhepo, mulondaghe kuuti lughinaghe kyongo kukulujenga ulukong'ano.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
Pa uluo, umwene juno ijova injovele imia ifunyaghe ulwakuuti apelue kukusighanula.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Ulwakuva ningifunye injovele imia, inumbula jaango jikufunya, looli uluhala lwango lusila meke.
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.
Nivomba kiki? Nikufunyagha mu numbula jaango, looli kange nikufunyagha nuluhala lwango. Nikwimbagha mu numbula jaango, nikwimbagha nhuluhala lwango kange.
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?
Neke looli, ungamughinie u Nguluve mu numbula, umwene juno mesia mu numbula ikwitika “Ameni” pano ghuhumia uluhongesio, nambe nasikagwile sino ghujova?
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
Ulwakuva kyang'haani uve ghuhongesia vunofu, looli ujunge jula naijengeka.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
Nikumongesia u Nguluve ulwakuva nijova injovele imia kukuvakila umue mweni.
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.
Looli mu ng'ong'ano kiba nijovaghe amasio ghahano muno nikitang'anisie une ulwakuuti nikagule kukuvavulanisia avange, kukila amasio imbilima kijigho khu njovele imia.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Vakuulu numue va mwanilumbu vango, mulekaghe kuuva vaanha musaghile jiinu, pa uluo pipuling'ana nuvu hosi, muvisaghe heene vaanha vafyele. Looli mulwa kusagha mulyumue muvisaghe vaanhu vagoyo.
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.”
Jilembilue mu ndaghilo, “Kuvaanhu va munjovele ijinge na mumalomo agha vahesia nijovaghe na vaanhu ava. Looli nave vulevule navangamulikaghe,” ijova u Mutwa.
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.
Pa uluo, imili fye fidegho, nakwekuuti kuvala vala vano vitike, looli kuvano navitike. Looli kuhumia uvuviili kye kidegho, nakwekuuti kuvano navitike, looli vwimila vala vano vitike.
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?
Lola, nave ulukong'ano lwoni lukong'anile palikimo neke vooni vajovaghe injovele imia, navahesia navala vano navitiki viingilevuuli navanoghile kukuvavula kuuti muli namapepo?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
Looli nave mweni muvila uvuvili juno naitike nambe mesia ingela, ikwesuagha ku sooni sino ipulika. Ihighuagha kusoni sino sijovua.
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.
Uvusyefu vwa mwoojo ghwa mwene vwale vwifwikuka. Sino kwande sihumila, ale ighua na pikupama na pikufunya kwa Nguluve. Ale ilaata kuuti u Nguluve alinumue.
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.
Kiki kivingilila kange, vakuulu numue va mwanilumbu vaango? Pano mutang'ana palikimo, umuunhu ghweni ilulutila, imbulanisio, isyetulilo, injovele imia nambe uvughanule. Muvombaghe iisi sooni ulwakuuti mujengaghe ulukong'ano.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
Nave jumonga ijova injovele imia, pe vavisaghe vaviili nambe vatatu, nujunge muvutavike. Umuunhu lunoghile kyongo aghanulaghe kino kijovilue.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
Looli nave napwale umuunhu juno ighanula, looli umuunhu ghweni mu avuo ikalaghe kiimie mun'kate mulukong'ano. Looli umuunhu ghweni ajovaghe mwene na kwa Nguluve.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
Na vaviili vavili nambe vatatu vavilaghe, neke avange vapulikisiaghe na kughanula sino sijovilue.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
Looli ujunge juno ikalileanga fwikulilue lumonga mumbombo, juno juno avele iviila ajikaghe.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
Ulwakuva ghweni mulyumue anoghile kuhumia uvuvili vumo ye ujunge ulwakuuti umuunhu ghweni anoghile kumanyila kange vooni va noghele kukangasivua.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
Ulwakuva inumbula isa vavili sili pasi pavuloleli pa vavili.
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
Ulwakuuva u Nguluve naghwe Nguluve ughwa vulamafu, looli ghwe lutengano. Ndavule jilivuo mu ng'ong'ano sooni isa vitiki,
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,
lonoghile avamama vikalaghe kimie mu ng'ong'ano. Ulwakuuva navitavulilua kujova. Pa uluo, vanoghile kuva vakoola, ndavule kange indaghilo pano jijova.
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.”
Nave kulikimonga vinoghelua kumanyila, looli vavaposie avaghosi vavanave munyumba. Ulwakuva se soni kwa mumama kujova mulukong'ano.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Vuli ilisio lya Nguluve likahumile kulyumue? Vuli lilisile jumue mwe veene?
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.
Nave umuunhu ikuvona kuuti ve vavili nambe lwa mhepo, lumunoghile aghakagule amasio ghano nikuvalembela kuuti lwe lulaghilo lwa Mutwa.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Looli nave nakagwile agha, mumuleke aleke kukagulika.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
Pa uluo, vakuulu numue va mwanilumbu vango, mulondaghe fiijo kuhumia uvuviili, namungansighaghe umuunhu ghweni kujova ni njovele.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Looli amasio ghoni gha vombeke vunofu nuvutavike.
