King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts , but rather that ye may prophesy.
1Lungnah te hnuktlak uh. Mueihla koe khuiah te ol na phong uh te lat yakvawt uh.
2For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him ; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
2Ol aka thui loh hlang ham pawt tih Pathen taengah ni a thui. Hlang loh ya pawt dae mueihla neh olhuep ni a thui.
3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
3Te dongah aka phong loh hlang ham hlinsainah, thaphohnah neh suemnah khaw a thui.
4He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
4Ol aka thui tah amah hlinsai uh dae aka phong long tah hlangboel te a hlinsai.
5I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
5Ol boeih na thui lakah na phong uh ham ni ka ngaih. Aka phong tah ol aka thui lakah tanglue. A thuicaih pawt atah hlangboel loh hlinsainah dang hae mahpawh.
6Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
6Tedae manuca rhoek, tahae ah nangmih taengla ol tloe la ka cal tih nangmih ham pumphoenah nen khaw, mingnah nen khaw, tonghma ol nen khaw, thuituennah nen khaw ka thui mueh la, ka lo koinih nangmih ham balae ka hoeikhang?
7And 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?
7Thingkoh phavit neh rhotoeng pataeng khaw ol cai dae oldi te a lang la cai pawt koinih phavi tum te khaw rhotoeng tum te metlam m'ming eh.
8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
8Te dongah olueng khaw a ol lumrhilumrha la cai koinih ulae caemthoh ham a tawn uh eh?
9So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
9Te dongah nangmih khaw ol phoeng neh olka na paek pawt atah na thui te metlam a ming eh? Yilh dongah aka thui la na om uh ni.
10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
10Diklai ah namtom ol te om tih heyet a dang mai ni. Tedae olmueh la a om moenih.
11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
11Te dongah ol kah thaomnah te ka ming pawt koinih kholong ol aka cal la ka om vetih, kai taengkah aka cal te khaw kholong hlang la om ni.
12Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts , seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
12Nangmih khaw mueihla ah aka hmae la na om uh van dongah hlangboel kah hlinsainah dongah baetawt ham te mae uh.
13Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
13Te dongah ol aka cal tah a thangthui daengah ni a thuicaih thai eh.
14For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
14Ol tloe neh ka thangthui coeng atah ka mueihla khaw thangthui dae ka lungbuei tah a tlongtlai la om.
15What 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.
15Te phoeiah balae aka om pueng? Mueihla neh ka thangthui vetih lungbuei nen khaw ka thangthui bal ni. Mueihla neh ka hlai vetih lungbuei nen khaw ka tingtoeng bal ni.
16Else 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?
16Te vaengah mueihla neh na uem koinih hlangthawt hmuen kah aka tomthap loh nang kah uemonah te metlam amen a ti eh. Na thui te a ming hae moenih ta.
17For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
17Nang loh na uem te then ngawn dae hlang tloe te a hlinsai moenih.
18I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
18Nangmih boeih lakah ol ka thui tih Pathen te ka uem.
19Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
19Tedae ka lungbuei neh ollung panga ni hlangboel khuiah thui ham ka ngaih. Te nen ni ol dongkah ollung thawngrha lakah khaw hlang tloe ka thuituen thai eh.
20Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
20Manuca rhoek, kopoeknah dongah camoe la om uh boeh. Phayoenah ham khaw camoe na diik uh dae kopoeknah dongah lungcuei la om uh.
21In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
21Olkhueng dongah Boeipa loh, “Pilnam he kholong ol nen khaw, hlang tloe kah hmui ka nen khaw ka voek sui dae kai ol he hnatun uh hae mahpawh,” tila a daek.
22Wherefore tongues 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 which believe.
22Te dongah ol tloe he aka tangnah rhoek ham miknoek la om pawt dae aka tangnahmueh rhoek ham ni a om. Tedae tonghma ol tah aka tangnahmueh rhoek ham pawt tih aka tangnah rhoek ham ni.
23If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
23Te dongah hlangboel tah a pum la khoong tih ol a thui paluep uh. Tedae hlangthawt neh aka tangnahmueh rhoek ha kun uh koinih na ang uh coeng tila thui uh mahpawt nim?
24But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
24Te phoeiah hlang boeih loh olphong koinih aka tangnahmueh hlangvang neh hlangthawt a kun vaengah, hlang boeih lamloh a toeltham ni. Hlang boeih lamloh a boelh ni.
25And 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 of a truth.
25A thinko kah a huephael te mingpha la a om vaengah a maelhmai buenglueng vetih Pathen a bawk ni. Pathen tah nangmih taengah om taktak tila puen ni.
26How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
26Te phoeiah balae aka om pueng? Manuca rhoek, na khoong uh vaengah tingtoeng rhip a khueh, thuituennah a khueh, pumphoenah a khueh, ol a khueh, a kongnah a khueh te hlinsainah ham boeih om saeh.
27If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
27Khat khat loh ol a thui atah panit neh a yet koek pathum loh tloeptloep ah thui saeh lamtah pakhat loh thuicaih saeh.
28But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
28Tedae thuicaihkung a om pawt atah hlangboel khuiah kamkhuem saeh lamtah amah neh Pathen taengah thui saeh.
29Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
29Tonghma tah panit, pathum khaw thui sak uh lamtah a tloe rhoek loh boelhkhoeh saeh.
30If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
30Tedae aka ngol loh hlang tloe taengah a pumphoe atah lamhma loh kamkhuem saeh.
31For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
31Pakhat phoeiah pakhat boeih na phong uh thai daengah ni boeih a cang uh vetih boeih a thaphoh uh eh.
32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
32Tonghma rhoek kah mueihla te khaw tonghma rhoek taengah boengai uh saeh.
33For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
33Pathen tah soekloeknah pawt tih hlangboel rhoek boeih khuikah hlangcim rhoek vanbangla rhoepnah la om.
34Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
34Huta loh hlangboel khuiah a kamkhuem
35And 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.
35uh saeh. Amih a thui sak pawt akhaw olkhueng loh a thui van bangla boengai uh saeh.
36What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
36Te dongah khat khat ni cang ham a ngaih uh atah im ah a va te dawt uh saeh. Hlangboel khuiah ol a thui he huta ham rhaidaeng la om.
37If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
37Nangmih lamkah Pathen kah olka thoeng a? Te pawt atah nangmih taeng bueng nim ham pha?
38But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
38Khat khat loh tonghma neh mueihla hlang la om ham a poek atah nangmih ham kan daek te Boeipa kah olpaek ni tila ming saeh.
39Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
39Tedae khat khat long ni a mangvawt atah amah ni a mangvawt coeng.
40Let all things be done decently and in order.
40Te dongah ka manuca rhoek olphong ham te thahlue sak uh lamtah ol tloe neh thui ham te khaw paa sak boeh. Tedae a cungkuem he aitlaeng bangla tluektluek om saeh.
