| [1]Run after love and be zealous for gifts of The Spirit all the more but that you may prophesy |
[1]Follow after love; and be emulous of the gifts of the Spirit, and especially, that ye may prophesy. |
| [2]Whoever speaks for in languages not has been to children of men speaking but to Alaha no for person understands what he speaks but by The Spirit mysteries he speaks |
[2]For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no one understandeth what is said; yet in the spirit, he speaketh a mystery. |
| [3]He but who prophesies to children of men speaks edification and encouragement and comfort |
[3]But he that prophesieth, speaketh unto men, for edification, and exhortation, and consolation. |
| [4]He who speaks in languages himself is building up and he who prophesies the church builds up |
[4]He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: and he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. |
| [5]Wish I but that you all may speak in languages all the more but that you may prophesy greater he is for who prophesies than he who speaks in languages if unless he translates if but he translates the church he edifies |
[5]Now I would that ye all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh in a tongue, unless he interpret; and if he interpret, he edifieth the church. |
| [6]And now my brethren if I come to you and I shall speak with you in languages what? do benefit I you unless if I shall speak with you either in revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in teaching |
[6]And now, my brethren, if I should come among you, and speak to you in tongues, what should I profit you; unless I should speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecy, or by doctrine? |
| [7]Even things for those there is not in which life and giving sound if a flute or harp if a distinction not they make between a tone to another how? is known anything that is played or anything that is harped |
[7]For even inanimate things that emit sound, whether pipe or harp, if they make no distinction between one sound and another, how will it be known, what is sung or what is harped? |
| [8]And if a horn call a sound that not is distinguished who? will be prepared for battle |
[8]And if the trumpet shall give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle? |
| [9]In this way also you if you will say words in languages and not you will be translating how? is known anything that say you you will be yourselves as if one who with the air speaking you are |
[9]So likewise if ye utter a discourse in a tongue, and there is no interpretation given, how will it be known what ye have said? Ye will have been as if ye spoke into the air. |
| [10]Behold for kinds of languages many are in the world and there is not one of them without sound |
[10]For lo, there are many kinds of tongues in the world; and there is not one of them without meaning. |
| [11]And if not know I the import of the sound am I myself a foreigner to him who speaks and also he who speaks is himself to me a foreigner |
[11]But if I do not know the import of the sound, I shall be a barbarian to him that speaketh, and the speaker will be a barbarian to me. |
| [12]In this way also you because zealous you are of the gifts of The Spirit for the edification of the church seek to abound |
[12]So also ye, since ye are emulous of the gifts of the Spirit for the edification of the church, seek ye to excel. |
| [13]And he who speaks in languages let him pray to translate |
[13]And let him that speaketh in a tongue, pray that he may interpret. |
| [14]If it is for I should pray in languages my spirit is praying my understanding but without fruits is |
[14]For if I should pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruits. |
| [15]What? therefore shall I do I shall pray with my spirit and I shall pray also with my understanding and I shall sing with my spirit and I shall sing also with my understanding |
[15]What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, and will pray with my understanding; and I will sing with my spirit, and will sing with my understanding. |
| [16]And if otherwise if say a blessing you in the spirit he who fills the place of the unlearned how? shall he say Amen for your giving of thanks your because what said you not he knew |
[16]Otherwise, if thou blessest in the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of one unlearned, say Amen, on thy giving thanks; for he knoweth not what thou sayest? |
| [17]You for well bless you but your neighbor not is edified |
[17]Thou blessest, indeed, very well; but thy neighbor is not edified. |
| [18]Thank I to Alaha that more than all of you speaking I am in languages |
[18]I thank God, that I speak with tongues more than all of you. |
| [19]But in the church willing I am that five words in my understanding I should speak that also others I may instruct rather than ten thousand words in languages |
[19]But in the church, I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others, than a myriad of words in a tongue. |
| [20]My brothers not be you children in your intellects but to evil be infants and in your intellects be fully mature |
[20]My brethren, be ye not children in your thoughts; but to evil things be ye infants; and in your thoughts be men. |
| [21]In The Law it is written "with speech foreign and with language another I shall speak with it with people this neither in this way shall they hear Me says the Lord |
[21]In the law it is written, With a foreign speech, and in another tongue, will I speak with this people; and even so also they will not hearken to me, saith the Lord. |
| [22]So then languages for a sign are established not for believers but for those who not believe prophecy but not was to those who not believe but to those who believe |
[22]Wherefore, tongues are established for a sign, not to the believers, but to them that believe not. But prophesyings are not for those who believe not, but for them that believe. |
| [23]If it occurs therefore assemble all the church and all of them in languages shall speak and shall enter the uninitiated or those who not believe not? will they say that these have gone insane themselves |
[23]If therefore the whole church assemble, and they all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons, or such as believe not, will they not say: These people are crazy? |
| [24]And if all of you you will prophesy and enter to you the unlearned or one who not believes he is searched out from all of you and they are reproved by all of you |
[24]But if ye should be all prophesying, and one unlearned or an unbeliever should come among you, he is explored by you all, and rebuked by you all; |
| [25]And the secrets of the heart are revealed and then he will fall on on his face and will worship to Alaha and he will say truly Alaha is in you |
[25]and the secrets of his heart are laid open [to him]: and so he will fall upon his face, and will worship God, and say: Verily, God is in you. |
| [26]Say I therefore my brethren that whenever gather you to whom of you ever has a psalm let him speak and who ever has a teaching and who ever has a revelation and who ever has a language and who ever has a translation all things for edification let be |
[26]I therefore say [to you] my brethren, that when ye assemble, whoever of you hath a psalm, let him speak; and whoever hath a doctrine, and whoever hath a revelation, and whoever hath a tongue, and whoever hath an interpretation. Let them all be for edification. |
| [27]And if in languages men shall speak two let speak and when more three and each one let them speak and one let translate |
[27]And if any speak in a tongue, let two speak or at most, three; and let them speak one by one; and let [some] one interpret. |
| [28]And if there is not a translator let be silent him in the church him who speaks in a language and only to himself and to Alaha let him speak |
[28]And if there is none to interpret, let him that speaketh in a tongue, be silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. |
| [29]The prophets but two or three let speak and the others let discern |
[29]And as to prophets, let two or three speak, and let the rest judge. |
| [30]And if to another is revealed a thing while sitting the first let be quiet him |
[30]And if to another sitting by, there should be a revelation, let the first stop speaking. |
| [31]Can you for all of you of each one prophesy that every person may teach and every person may be comforted |
[31]For ye can all prophesy, one by one; so that every one may learn, and every one be comforted. |
| [32]The spirit for of the prophet to the prophet is subject |
[32]For the spirit of the prophets is subject to the prophets. |
| [33]Because Alaha not is of tumult but of peace as that in all the assemblies of the saints |
[33]Because, God is not [the author] of tumult, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. |
| [34]Your women in the assemblies let be silent not for it is allowed for them to speak but to be in subjection just as also The written Law says |
[34]Let your women be silent in the church: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be in subjection, as also the law saith. |
| [35]And if anything they wish to learn in their houses let them ask their husbands a shame is for that women in the assembly would speak |
[35]And if they wish to be informed on any subject, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is unbecoming for women to speak in the church. |
| [36]Or interrog. from you? it came forth the word of Alaha or unto you it only arrived |
[36]What ! was it from you that the word of God came forth? Or did it reach only to you? |
| [37]If a man but of you thinks that a prophet he is or of The Spirit he is let him know these things that write I to you that the commandments they are of our Lord |
[37]And if any one among you thinketh that he is a prophet, or that he is spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, as being the precepts of our Lord. |
| [38]If a man but not knows not let him know |
[38]But if any one be ignorant, let him be ignorant. |
| [39]Be zealous therefore my brothers to prophesy and to speak in languages not forbid |
[39]Wherefore, my brethren, be emulous of prophesying: and to speak with tongues, prohibit not. |
| [40]Everything but with decorum and with order let be done |
[40]But let every thing be done with decency and regularity. |
