1Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.
1Amlunghaih to patom o poe ah, Muithla tangqum paekhaihnawk to koeh oh, toe lokpui koekah Sithaw lok taphonghaih to koeh o kue ah.
2For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.
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.
3But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
3Sithaw lok taphong kami loe kaminawk qoenghaih, thapaekhaih hoi monghaih loknawk ni a thuih.
4He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.
4Panoek ai ih lok apae kami loe angmah to ni qoengsak; toe lok taphong kami loe kricaabu to qoengsak.
5And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.
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.
6But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?
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?
7Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
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.
8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
8Mongkah doeh kahoih ah ueng ai nahaeloe, mi maw misatuk han amsak tih?
9So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.
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.
10There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.
10Long nuiah lok congca om doeh om tih, toe ahlong kaom ai lok roe om ai.
11If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.
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.
12So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.
12Muithla tangqumnawk na koeh o tangtang pongah, kahoih koek kricaabu qoenghaih to pakrong oh.
13And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
13To pongah panoek ai ih lok apae kami loe, lok a leh thai hanah lawkthui nasoe.
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.
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.
15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding.
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.
16Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not what thou sayest.
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?
17For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
17Nang mah loe kahoihah kawnhaih lok to na thuih, toe minawk qoenghaih om ai.
18I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.
18Kai loe nangcae boih pong kamthlai ah loknawk to ka paeh, to pongah Sithaw ka pakoeh:
19But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue.
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.
20Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
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.
21In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.
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.
22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.
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.
23If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad?
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?
24But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all.
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:
25The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.
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.
26How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.
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.
27If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.
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.
28But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.
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.
29And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.
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.
30But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.
30To naah a taengah anghnu kalah kami khaeah Sithaw mah hnuksakhaih paek nahaeloe, lokthui hmaloe kami to anghngai duem nasoe.
31For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:
31Kami boih mah amtuk o moe, kami boih mah poek monghaih tawnh o thai hanah, maeto pacoeng maeto lok to thui oh.
32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
32Tahmaanawk ih palungthin loe tahmaanawk mah pazawk han oh.
33For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.
33Kricaabunawk boih loe kaciim kami ah oh o baktih toengah, Sithaw loe anghmang thok Sithaw ah om ai, monghaih Sithaw ah ni oh.
34Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
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.
35But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
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.
36Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
36Sithaw ih lok loe nangcae khae hoiah maw angzoh? To tih ai boeh loe nangcae han khue maw angzoh?
37If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.
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.
38But if any man know not, he shall not be known.
38Toe mi kawbaktih doeh panoek ai baktiah om kami loe, panoek ai kami baktiah om nasoe.
39Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues.
39To pongah, nawkamyanawk, lok taphonghaih to palungtang hoi koeh oh, kalah loknawk apaeh hanah pakaa o hmah.
40But let all things be done decently, and according to order.
40Hmuen boih khet kamcuk hoi karaem ah sah oh.
