Men Korint I 14
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1KOMAIL anane limpok, pil inon ion pai nenin akan, a iet me kajampwal re ’rail, kokopada!
1Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
2Pwe me kin lokaia kida nil en wai, kaidin aramaj akan, me a kin lokaia on, a on Kot, pwe jota amen kin dedeki; ari jo, ni nen o a kin lokaia kida me rir akan.
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.
3A me kin kokop, kin padaki on aramaj akan, pwen kamaui, o panau o kamait ir ala.
3But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.
4A me lokaiaki nil en wai, kin kamaui pein i, a me kin kokop, kin kamaui momodijou.
4The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
5I men, komail karoj en aja lokaia ki nil toror, a mak eta, komail en kokopada, pwe me kin kokopada, me lapa jan me kin kaparok ki nil toror, ma a jo kak kajiriwukila, pwe momodijou en kamaukila.
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.
6Ari ri ai kan, ma i pwara won komail, ap lokaia ki nil toror, da katepa on komail, ma I jota kaweweda de kajanjaleda, de kokopada, de padak?
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?
7Iduen meakan, me kin lokolokaia ap jota memaur, ma men kwai de arp jota pan nor pajan, ij me pan kak dedeki, da me ira kauleki?
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?
8O ma koronete pan popeuk pin, ij me pan onopadan mauin?
8Again, if the trumpet sounds a muffled call, who will prepare for battle?
9A iduen komail, ma komail pan lokaia ki nil toror, ap jota kaweweda, ij me pan dedeki? Pwe omail lokaia pan me mal kot.
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.
10Jon en lokaia toto nan jappa, a jota eu me jo puloi.
10Assuredly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
11A ma i jaja wewe en lokaia eu, i pan rajon men wai men on me kin kaparok, o me kin kaparok, pan rajon men wai men on ia.
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.
12A pil dueta komail, pwe komail kin anane pai nenin akan, komail ari pil nonki kakairida ni mepukat, pwen kamauie kila momodijou.
12It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.
13A ma amen lokaia kida nil en wai, i en kapakap ap pil kajiriwukila.
13Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
14Pwe ma i wia kapakap ki lokaia nil en wai eu, nen i kin kapakap ap jota katepa on amen.
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
15Ari, da me i pan wia? I pan kapakap ni nen i ap pil pan kapakap ni ai lamelam; i pan kapina ni nen i ap pil kapina ni ai lamelam.
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.
16A ma koe pan kapaiada ki nen o, iaduen me jota dedeki pan kak inda amen murin om kapina? Pwe a jaja me koe indinda.
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?
17Ei me mau melel om kapikapina, a jota kadepa on me teio.
17You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other one is not edified.
18I kin danke Kot, pweki i kin lokaiaki nil toror jan komail.
18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
19Ari jo nan momodijou i men kida lep in lokaia limau, me pwili jan ai lamelam jan lep in lokaia nen ni nil toror, pwen padaki on me tei kan.
19But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20Ri ai kan, komail der wiala jeri ni omail lamelam, a ni me jued komail en rajon kijin jeri, a ni omail lamelam komail en unjokela.
20Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
21A intinidier nan kapun: Lokaia o kil en aua toror, me I pan lokaiaki on kainok wet, a re pil jota pan duki on ia, me Kaun o kotin majani.
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.”
22Nan i me lokaia toror mia, pwen kileledi kaidin me pojon akan, a me jopojon akan; a deideikop kaidin on me jopojon akan, pwe on me pojon akan.
22Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
23A ma momodijou pan pokon pena waja kij, o ma karoj pan lokaia ni nil toror, a ma akai ian me jota dedeki, de akai me jopojon, irail jota pan inda, me komail iakalar?
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?
24A ma karoj kin kokop, o amen pan pwarado, me jopojon, o me jota dedeki, karoj pan kajanjale on i dip a, o a pan pakajaui ren karoj.
24But if an unbeliever or uninstructed person comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convicted and called to account by all,
25Iduen a me rir akan nan monion i pan janjaleda, o a pan tairokedi ni maj a, kaudoki on Kot, o pan inda, melel Kot kotikot re omail.
25and the secrets of his heart will be made known. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
26Ri ai kan, iaduen komail ni omail pokon pena, kaidin amen amen kin kida pjalm eu? A amen kin kawewe, a amen nil toror, a amen kajanjal eu, a amen kin kajiriwukila; a karoj en wiaui, en kamauiada.
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.
27A ma amen pan wia nil en wai, me ta riamen, de ma me toto, re pan jilimen, a irail pan irok wei a amen en kajirawukila.
27If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret.
28A ma jota men kajiriwuk mia, i en nenenla nan momodijou; a en kajoi on pein i o Kot.
28But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
29A riamen de jilimen ren jaukop akan pan kak kaparok, a me tei kan en kajauiada.
29Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
30A ma amen, ren me momod waja o, pan diar kajanjal eu, men maj ap pan nenenla.
30And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should stop.
31A komail karoj kak kokop, irok weida, pwe karoj en padakki o kamaitala.
31For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
32A nen en jaukop akan kin duki on jaukop akan.
32The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
33Pwe kaidin komoan me pin men Kot, a en popol duen ni momodijou en jaraui akan karoj.
33For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.
34Omail li akan en nenenla nan momodijou kan, pwe a jota muei on irail, en kaparok; a irail en papa, duen kapun me pil majani.
34Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
35A ma irail men aja okotme, irail en kalelapok ren arail warok kan ni deu ’rail, pwe me kanamenok, li en kaparok nan momodijou.
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.
36De majan en Kot tapi jan komail? De a ko won komail eta?
36Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
37A ma amen lamelame, me a jaukop amen, de me a nenin, a en aja wewe en me i intinki won komail, pwe mepukat kujoned en Kaun o.
37If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
38A ma amen lolepon, i en lolepon.
38But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
39Ari ri ai kan en inon ion kokop, o ender kainapwi lokaia nil toror.
39So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40A meakaroj en wiaui nin tiak mau o pun.
40But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.
