Первое послание к Коринфянам 14

1 Держитеся любве: ревнуйте же духовным, паче же да пророчествуете.

Pursue love and be zealous for spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

2 Глаголяй бо языки, не человеком глаголет, но Богу: никтоже бо слышит, духом же глаголет тайны:

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 пророчествуяй же, человеком глаголет созидание и утешение и утверждение.

But the one who prophesies speaks to people to build them up, to encourage them, and to comfort them.

4 Глаголяй (бо) языки себе зиждет, а пророчествуяй церковь зиждет.

The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.

5 Хощу же всех вас глаголати языки, паче же да прорицаете: болий бо пророчествуяй, нежели глаголяй языки, разве аще (кто) сказует, да церковь созидание приемлет.

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 Ныне же, братие, аще прииду к вам языки глаголя, кую вам пользу сотворю, аще вам не глаголю или во откровении, или в разуме, или в пророчествии, или в научении?

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 Обаче бездушная глас дающая, аще сопель, аще гусли, аще разнствия писканием не дадят, како разумно будет пискание или гудение?

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 Ибо аще безвестен глас труба даст, кто уготовится на брань?

For if the trumpet is played with an uncertain sound, how will anyone know when it is time to prepare for battle?

9 Тако и вы аще не благоразумно слово дадите языком, како уразумеется глаголемое? Будете бо на воздух глаголюще.

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 Толицы убо, аще ключится, роди гласов суть в мире, и ни един их безгласен.

There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning.

11 Аще убо не увем силы гласа, буду глаголющему иноязычник, и глаголющий мне иноязычник.

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 Тако и вы, понеже ревнителе есте духовом, (яже) к созиданию церкве просите, да избыточествуете.

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 Темже глаголяй языком да молится, да сказует.

So the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

14 Аще бо молюся языком, дух мой молится, а ум мой без плода есть.

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

15 Что убо есть? Помолюся духом, помолюся же и умом: воспою духом, воспою же и умом.

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 Понеже аще благословиши духом, исполняяй место невежды како речет аминь, по твоему благодарению? Понеже не весть, что глаголеши.

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 Ты убо добре благодариши, но другий не созидается.

For you certainly give thanks well enough, but the other person is not built up.

18 Благодарю Бога моего, паче всех вас языки глаголя:

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

19 но в церкви хощу пять словес умом моим глаголати, да и ины пользую, нежели тмы словес языком.

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 Братие, не дети бывайте умы: но злобою младенствуйте, умы же совершени бывайте.

Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Rather, in regard to evil, be like infants. But in your thinking be mature.

21 В законе пишет: яко иными языки и устны иными возглаголю людем сим, и ни тако послушают Мене, глаголет Господь.

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 Темже языцы в знамение суть не верующым, но неверным: а пророчество не неверным, но верующым.

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 Аще убо снидется церковь вся вкупе, и вси языки глаголют, внидут же (и) неразумивии или невернии, не рекут ли, яко беснуетеся?

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 Аще же вси пророчествуют, внидет же некий неверен или невежда, обличается всеми, (и) истязуется от всех,

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 и сице тайная сердца его явлена бывают: и тако пад ниц поклонится Богови, возвещая, яко воистинну Бог с вами есть.

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 Что убо есть, братие? Егда сходитеся, кийждо вас псалом имать, учение имать, язык имать откровение имать, сказание имать: вся (же) к созиданию да бывают.

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 Аще языком кто глаголет, по двема, или множае по трием, и по части: и един да сказует.

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 Аще ли не будет сказатель, да молчит в церкви, себе же да глаголет и Богови.

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 Пророцы же два или трие да глаголют, и друзии да разсуждают:

Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others listen with discernment to what is said.

30 аще ли иному открыется седящу, первый да молчит.

But if an insight is given to one who is sitting in the service, let the one who had been speaking be silent.

31 Можете бо вси по единому пророчествовати, да вси учатся и вси утешаются.

For each of you can prophesy one by one so that each one may learn and all may be encouraged.

32 И дуси пророчестии пророком повинуются:

For the spirits of the prophets are under the control of the prophets.

33 несть бо нестроения Бог, но мира, яко во всех церквах святых.

For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. This is the rule in all the churches of the saints.

34 Жены вашя в церквах да молчат: не повелеся бо им глаголати, но повиноватися, якоже и закон глаголет.

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 Аще ли чесому научитися хотят, в дому своих мужей да вопрошают: срамно бо есть жене в церкви глаголати.

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 Или от вас слово Божие изыде? Или вас единых достиже?

Did the word of God come from you? Are you the only ones it has reached?

37 Аще кто мнится пророк быти или духовен, да разумеет, яже пишу вам, зане Господни суть заповеди?

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 Аще ли кто не разумеет, да не разумевает.

But if anyone does not recognize this, let him not be recognized.

39 Темже, братие моя, ревнуйте еже пророчествовати, и еже глаголати языки не возбраняйте:

So then, brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues.

40 вся же благообразно и по чину да бывают.

But let all things be done properly and in order.
