1 Korin 14
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Amlunghaih to patom o poe ah, Muithla tangqum paekhaihnawk to koeh oh, toe lokpui koekah Sithaw lok taphonghaih to koeh o kue ah.
1Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
2Kalah lok maeto apae kami loe, kami khaeah apae ai, Sithaw khaeah ni apaeh: anih mah apaeh ih lok to mi mah doeh thaih kop ai; toe anih mah Muithla ah ni kathuk loknawk to apaeh.
2For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.
3Sithaw lok taphong kami loe kaminawk qoenghaih, thapaekhaih hoi monghaih loknawk ni a thuih.
3But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.
4Panoek ai ih lok apae kami loe angmah to ni qoengsak; toe lok taphong kami loe kricaabu to qoengsak.
4The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
5Kalah loknawk na paeh o boih hanah kang koeh haih, toe lok taphong hanah kang koeh o haih kue: kricaabu qoeng thai hanah, lok lehhaih om ai nahaeloe, panoek ai ih lokpae kami pongah loe lok taphong kami to len kue.
5I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.
6Nawkamyanawk, vaihi panoek ai ih lok hoiah lok taphong hanah nangcae khaeah kang zoh moe, hnuksakhaih maw, panoekthaihaih maw, lok taphonghaih hoi patukhaih lok hoiah maw ka thui ai nahaeloe, nangcae han tih avanghaih maw om tih?
6Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
7Hinghaih katawn ai atuen apawknawk mataeng doeh atuenh to kamnoekah tacawt ai nahaeloe, tamoi lok maw, to tih ai boeh loe katoeng lok, tito kawbangmaw panoek thai tih.
7Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?
8Mongkah doeh kahoih ah ueng ai nahaeloe, mi maw misatuk han amsak tih?
8Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?
9To baktih toengah nangcae doeh thaih kazoi lok hoiah lok na thui o ai nahaeloe, timaw a thuih, tito kawbangmaw panoek thai tih? Takhi khaeah thuih rumram ih lok baktiah ni na om tih.
9So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
10Long nuiah lok congca om doeh om tih, toe ahlong kaom ai lok roe om ai.
10Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
11To pongah lokhlong ka panoek ai nahaeloe, kai loe lokthui kami hanah angvin ah ni ka om tih, lokthui kami doeh kai hanah angvin ah ni om tih.
11If, then, I do not know the meaning of someone’s language, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me.
12Muithla tangqumnawk na koeh o tangtang pongah, kahoih koek kricaabu qoenghaih to pakrong oh.
12It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.
13To pongah panoek ai ih lok apae kami loe, lok a leh thai hanah lawkthui nasoe.
13Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
14Panoek ai ih lok hoiah lawk ka thuih nahaeloe, kai ih palung doeh lawk a thuih toeng, toe panoekhaih bangah loe kai han atho om ai.
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
15To tih nahaeloe hnukkhuem ah kawbangmaw ka sak han boeh? Palung hoiah lawk ka thuih baktih toengah, panoekhaih hoiah doeh lawk ka thuih han: palung hoiah laa ka sak baktih toengah panoekhaih hoiah doeh laa ka sak han.
15What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
16To tih ai nahaeloe palung hoi Sithaw na pakoeh naah, nangcae salakah kaom lok thaih kop ai kami mah, kawbangmaw na thuih o ih lok to Amen, tiah thui thai tih?
16Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
17Nang mah loe kahoihah kawnhaih lok to na thuih, toe minawk qoenghaih om ai.
17You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.
18Kai loe nangcae boih pong kamthlai ah loknawk to ka paeh, to pongah Sithaw ka pakoeh:
18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
19toe panoek ai ih lok sang hato hoi kricaabu thungah lok ka thuih pongah loe, minawk patuk thai hanah, panoek ih lokmu pangato hoiah ni lok ka thuih.
19But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20Nawkamyanawk, panoekhaih bangah nawkta baktiah om o hmah: toe kahoih ai hmuen ah loe nawkta baktiah om oh, panoekhaih bangah loe saning koep kami baktiah om oh.
20Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
21Kaalok thungah, Minawk kalah ih lok hoi minawk kalah ih pahni hoiah hae kaminawk khaeah lok ka thuih han; toe ka thuih ih loknawk boih nihcae mah tahngai o mak ai, tiah tarik ih oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
21It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”
22To pongah loknawk loe, tanghaih tawn kaminawk han ih na ai, tanghaih tawn ai kaminawk hanah ni angmathaih maeto ah oh: toe lok taphonghaih loe tang ai kaminawk han ih na ai, tanghaih tawn kaminawk han ih ni taphong.
22Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
23To pongah kricaabunawk boih nawnto amkhueng naah, kami boih mah kalah loknawk to apae o nahaeloe, to ahmuen ah angzo Sithaw panoek ai kami hoi tanghaih tawn ai kaminawk mah nangcae to kamthu kaminawk, tiah na naa o mak ai maw?
23So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
24Toe lok na taphong o boih nahaeloe, tanghaih tawn ai kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe Sithaw panoek ai kami to angzo naah, na thuih o ih lok rang hoiah anih mah kai loe kami zae ni, tiah thaih kophaih to tawn ueloe, poek amkhraihaih palungthin to tawn tih:
24But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,
25angmah ih palung thungah tamquta hoi poek ih hmuennawk to taphong tih; anih mah khokkhu cangkrawnhaih hoiah Sithaw to bok ueloe, nangcae khaeah Sithaw oh tangtang, tiah thui tih.
25and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
26Nawkamyanawk, kawbangmaw a sak o han boeh? Saam laa sah thaih kami, patuk thaih kami, lok kalah apae kami, amtuenghaih hnu kami, lok leh thaih kaminawk boih bokhaih ahmuen ah nawnto nam khueng o naah, hmuen boih ah kami qoeng thai hanah sah oh.
26What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.
27Panoek ai ih lokpae kami hnetto maw, to tih ai boeh loe pop koekah thumto maw om nahaeloe, maeto pacoeng maeto lokthui o nasoe loe, kami maeto mah lok to leh pae nasoe.
27If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.
28Toe lok leh kami om ai nahaeloe, anih mah angmah hoi Sithaw khaeah lok to apae nasoe, kricaabu amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah loe anghngai duem nasoe.
28But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
29Lok taphong kami hnetto mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe thumto mah lok to thui nasoe loe, kalah kaminawk mah kasae kahoih lok to khing o nasoe.
29Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
30To naah a taengah anghnu kalah kami khaeah Sithaw mah hnuksakhaih paek nahaeloe, lokthui hmaloe kami to anghngai duem nasoe.
30And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.
31Kami boih mah amtuk o moe, kami boih mah poek monghaih tawnh o thai hanah, maeto pacoeng maeto lok to thui oh.
31For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
32Tahmaanawk ih palungthin loe tahmaanawk mah pazawk han oh.
32The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
33Kricaabunawk boih loe kaciim kami ah oh o baktih toengah, Sithaw loe anghmang thok Sithaw ah om ai, monghaih Sithaw ah ni oh.
33For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.
34Nangcae thung ih nongpatanawk loe kricaabunawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah anghngai o duem nasoe: nihcae loe lokthuih thaihaih tawn o ai; kaalok mah thuih ih baktih toengah, nihcae loe lok tahngaihaih hoiah khosak o han oh.
34Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
35Nihcae mah hmuen maeto amtuk han koeh o nahaeloe, im ah angmacae sava khaeah dueng o nasoe: kricaabu amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah lokthuih loe nongpata han azat thoh.
35If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.
36Sithaw ih lok loe nangcae khae hoiah maw angzoh? To tih ai boeh loe nangcae han khue maw angzoh?
36Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
37Mi kawbaktih doeh angmah hoi angmah to tahmaa ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe muithla kami ah maw poek nahaeloe, nangcae khaeah kang tarik o ih loknawk loe Angraeng mah paek ih lok ni, tiah panoek nasoe.
37If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
38Toe mi kawbaktih doeh panoek ai baktiah om kami loe, panoek ai kami baktiah om nasoe.
38But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
39To pongah, nawkamyanawk, lok taphonghaih to palungtang hoi koeh oh, kalah loknawk apaeh hanah pakaa o hmah.
39So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40Hmuen boih khet kamcuk hoi karaem ah sah oh.
40But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.
