1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.
Mululondaghe ulughano na kunoghelua kyongo ifipelua ifya munumbula, looli mughinaghe kyongo ulwakuuti muka kyongo uvuviili.
2 For he that speaketh in an [unknown] language, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth [him]; yet in the spirit he speaketh 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 that prophesieth, speaketh to men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Looli umwene juno ivila uvuviili, ijova navaanhu na pikuvakangasia inumbula, nakuvanyamasia.
4 He that speaketh in an [unknown] language edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
Umwene juno ijova injovele imia ikujimika mwene, looli umwene juno ivila uvuvili ikujenga ulukong'ano.
5 I would that ye all spoke in languages, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater [is] he that prophesieth than he that speaketh in languages, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
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 Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in languages, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
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 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?
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 shall give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
Ulwakuva nave lukelema luhumia ilisio lino nalimanyika, luvisaghe ndani umuunhu ikagula kuuti ghwe nsiki ghwa kuling'ania ku lilugu.
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will speak 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 voices in the world, and none of them [is] without signification.
Nasakughanania kuuti kuliinjovele nyinga sili papinga mu iisi, nakwili nambe jimo insila luvumbulilo.
11 Therefore, if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh [will be] a barbarian to me.
Looli nave nanijikagwile injovele jiiti kiki, niva mesia kwa mwenejuno ijova, ghwop juno ikujijova iva mesia kulyune.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
Fye lulivuo kulyumue, Ulwakuva munoghelua kyongo kulola ivusilo sa Mhepo, mulondaghe kuuti lughinaghe kyongo kukulujenga ulukong'ano.
13 Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an [unknown] language, pray that he may interpret.
Pa uluo, umwene juno ijova injovele imia ifunyaghe ulwakuuti apelue kukusighanula.
14 For if I pray in an [unknown] language, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
Ulwakuva ningifunye injovele imia, inumbula jaango jikufunya, looli uluhala lwango lusila meke.
15 What is it then? 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 Else, when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
Neke looli, ungamughinie u Nguluve mu numbula, umwene juno mesia mu numbula ikwitika “Ameni” pano ghuhumia uluhongesio, nambe nasikagwile sino ghujova?
17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Ulwakuva kyang'haani uve ghuhongesia vunofu, looli ujunge jula naijengeka.
18 I thank my God, I speak in languages more than ye all:
Nikumongesia u Nguluve ulwakuva nijova injovele imia kukuvakila umue mweni.
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that [by my voice] I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in an [unknown] 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 Brethren, be not children in understanding: yet in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
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, With [men of] other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith 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 Wherefore languages are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying [serveth] not for them that believe not, but for them 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 church is assembled in one place, and all speak in languages, and there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are insane?
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 there come in one that believeth not, or [one] unlearned, he is convinced by all, 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 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 in truth.
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 How is it then, brethren? when ye are assembled, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a language, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.
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 speaketh in an [unknown] language, [let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; 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 silence in the church; 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 the prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge.
Na vaviili vavili nambe vatatu vavilaghe, neke avange vapulikisiaghe na kughanula sino sijovilue.
30 If [any thing] is revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
Looli ujunge juno ikalileanga fwikulilue lumonga mumbombo, juno juno avele iviila ajikaghe.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
Ulwakuva ghweni mulyumue anoghile kuhumia uvuvili vumo ye ujunge ulwakuuti umuunhu ghweni anoghile kumanyila kange vooni va noghele kukangasivua.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Ulwakuva inumbula isa vavili sili pasi pavuloleli pa vavili.
33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Ulwakuuva u Nguluve naghwe Nguluve ughwa vulamafu, looli ghwe lutengano. Ndavule jilivuo mu ng'ong'ano sooni isa vitiki,
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak: but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
lonoghile avamama vikalaghe kimie mu ng'ong'ano. Ulwakuuva navitavulilua kujova. Pa uluo, vanoghile kuva vakoola, ndavule kange indaghilo pano jijova.
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.
Nave kulikimonga vinoghelua kumanyila, looli vavaposie avaghosi vavanave munyumba. Ulwakuva se soni kwa mumama kujova mulukong'ano.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it to you only?
Vuli ilisio lya Nguluve likahumile kulyumue? Vuli lilisile jumue mwe veene?
37 If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the commandments 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 any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Looli nave nakagwile agha, mumuleke aleke kukagulika.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak in 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.
