¹Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

¹Jadi' ompi' -ompi', to kana tapopori'ulu mpu'u, mpoka'ahi' -ta doo. Pai' oti toe, kana tahuduwukui wo'o mporata pakulea' to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli'. Pai' pakulea' to meliu mpu'u kamokalaua-na, pakulea' mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala.

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.

²Apa' tauna to mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', uma-i mpololitai hingka manusia' -na. Mpololitai Alata'ala-i-wadi. Apa' doo-na uma mpo'incai ba napa to na'uli', mololita-i ngkai petete' Inoha' Tomoroli', mpotompo'wiwi anu to uma ra'incai manusia'.

³But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

³Aga tauna to mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala-di, mpololitai manusia' -i. Lolita-na mporohoi nono doo, mpo'apui nono doo, mpotanta'u doo.

⁴He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

⁴Tauna to mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' mporohoi nono-na moto-wadi. Tauna to mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala mporohoi nono doo to morumpu hangkaa-ngkania.

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.

⁵Konoa-ku ompi', bona hawe'ea-ni ma'ala mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli'. Aga meliu kalompe' -na ane mpohowa' -koi lolita Alata'ala. Apa' tauna to mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala hi doo, meliu kamokalaua-na ngkai tauna to mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli'. Sampale ane ria to mpotoli basa-na toe bona rapaha doo, pai' lako' terohoi nono doo to mogampara dohe-na.

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?

⁶Jadi' ompi' -ompi', ane rapa' -na rata-a hi pogamparaa-ni, pai' -a mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', napa-mi kalaua-na hi koi'? Tapi' ane mpakanoto-a patuju Alata'ala ba kareba ngkai Alata'ala to ko'ia ni'incai, ba mpohowa' -a lolita Alata'ala ba metudui' -a, lako' ria-di kalaua-na hi koi'.

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?

⁷Rapa' -na rewa to rapomoni, hewa lalowe ba kasapi: ane uma lompe' potuwui' -na lalowe, ba ane uma makono pokado' -na kasapi, tauna to mpo'epe uma mpo'incai lagu napa to rapomoni.

⁸For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

⁸Wae wo'o, ane sangkakala ratuwui' mpokio' tantara mosadia hilou hi panga'ea, tapi' ane uli' karatuwui' -na, hema-hana to sadia manga'e?

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.

⁹Wae wo'o hante koi' -e ompi': ane mololita-koi hante basa to uma ra'incai doo, beiwa kara'inca-na ba napa-i to ni'uli'? Koi' hewa tauna to mpololitai ngolu' -wadi.

¹⁰There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

¹⁰Rala dunia' toi, hewa apa-damo kawori' nyala basa, pai' butu nyala basa, ria batua-na.

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.

¹¹Aga ane ria tauna to mpololitai-ta pai' uma ta'incai batua basa-na, tantu ta'uli' molibu' hinyai' -i-wadi. Wae wo'o ane kita' mpololitai-i, na'uli' molibu' hinyai' -ta.

¹²Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

¹²Wae wo'o-hawo hante koi' -e ompi': ane mololita-koi hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', doo-ni uma mpo'incai kalaua-na. Jadi', apa' doko' rahi-koi mporata baraka' ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' -e, wae-pi, agina merapi' -koi hi Pue' bona nawai' -koi pakulea' mporohoi nono doo to mogampara dohe-ni.

¹³Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

¹³Toe pai' ku'uli' -kokoi: hema to mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', agina merapi' -i hi Pue' mporata pakulea' mpotoli basa toe bona hawe'ea doo-na mpopaha batua lolita-na.

¹⁴For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

¹⁴Apa' ane mosampaya-ta hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', mosampaya moto-ta hi rala nono-ta, aga pekiri-ta uma molengo.

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.

¹⁵Jadi', napa to lompe' tababehi? Agina mosampaya-ta hi rala nono-ta hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', pai' mosampaya wo'o-ta hante basa to rapaha doo. Morona' -ta mpo'une' Alata'ala hi rala nono-ta hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', pai' morona' wo'o-ta mpo'une' Alata'ala hante basa to rapaha doo.

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?

¹⁶Ane rapa' -na mololita-ta hi rala basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, pai' uma monoto batua lolita-ta hi tauna to mpo'epe, uma-ra-hawo mpai' mpo'uli' "Amin! Bate makono!" apa' uma-hawo ra'incai napa to ta'uli'.

¹⁷For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

¹⁷Nau' lompe' -mi posampaya-ta mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, aga uma-hawo ria tuju-na hi doo, apa' uma terohoi nono-ra mpo'epe posampaya-ta tetu.

¹⁸I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

¹⁸Ku'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala apa' mololita-a hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' meliu ngkai koi' omea.

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.

¹⁹Aga hi rala pogamparaa, agina lau-pi mololita-a hante basa to ra'inca doo bona rapaha lolita-ku. Agina-pi mololita hamela romela-wadi mpotudui' doo, ngkai mololita moloe hi rala basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' to uma rapaha doo.

²⁰Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

²⁰Ompi' -ompi'! Neo' -pi mopekiri oa' hewa ana' to kedi', kana monoto nono-ni hewa tauna to kama-mi. Aga hewa ana' to kedi' ko'ia mpo'incai mpobabehi gau' to dada'a, wae wo'o kusarumaka neo' -koi mpobabehi gau' to dada'a.

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.

²¹Hi rala Atura Pue' te'uki' hewa toi: Na'uli' Pue' Ala: Hante wiwi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi kupololitai-ra to Yahudi. Kuhubui-ra mpai' tumai tauna ngkai ngata to molaa to mpololitai-ra hi rala basa to uma ra'incai. Aga nau' wae, bate uma oa' -ra mpai' dota mpopangala' lolita-ku."

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.

²²Jadi', ane ria-ta to mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', lolita-ta toe jadi' tanda kamobaraka' -na Pue' hi tauna to uma-ra mepangala' hi Pue', bela hi tauna to mepangala' -mi hi Pue'. Aga ane mpohowa' -ta lolita Alata'ala, lolita-ta toe jadi' tanda kamobaraka' -na Pue' hi tauna to mepangala' -mi, bela hi tauna to uma mepangala'.

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?

²³Rapa' -na morumpu-koi hangkaa-ngkania mogampara, pai' mololita omea-koi hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli'. Ane mesua' tauna to bela-ra to Kristen ba to ko'ia mpo'incai Lolita Alata'ala, napa-mi mpai' to ra'uli' -e? Tantu ra'uli' wuli-koi.

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:

²⁴Aga ane hawe'ea-ni mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala pai' mesua' hadua tauna to bela-i to Kristen ba to ko'ia-i mpo'incai Lolita Alata'ala, kampo'epe-na napa omea to ni'uli', monoto-mi hi rala nono-na kamojeko' -na. Hewa ria hi rala nono-na to mpo'uli': "To hi aku' -mi tetu-e mai!"

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.

²⁵Alaa-na hawe'ea to tewunii' hi nono-na telohu-mi. Ka'omea-na mpai', kamowingkotu' -nami mepue' hi Alata'ala, pai' na'uli': "Bate makono-di! Alata'ala ria mpu'u hi laintongo' -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.

²⁶Jadi' ompi' -ompi', napa batua-na hawe'ea toe? Ane mogampara-koi, butu dua tauna ria bagia-na: ria to morona', ria to metudui', ria to mpoparata Lolita Alata'ala, ria to mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', ria to mpotoli batua-na to ra'uli' toe bona rapaha omea. Aga hawe'ea toe kana nibabehi bona mporohoi nono doo.

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.

²⁷Ane ria to mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', agina rodua-wadi, neo' melabi ngkai tolu. Pai' neo' -ra mololita hinto'ua, kana momesampei. Pai' kana ria to mpotoli napa to ra'uli' topololita toera.

²⁸But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

²⁸Ane uma ria to mpotoli, tauna to doko' mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' kana mengkarodo rala pogamparaa, agina rala nono-ra-wadi mpololitai Alata'ala.

²⁹Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

²⁹Ane nabi to mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala, agina rodua ba tolu-ra to mololita, pai' to ntani' -na mpetonoi to ra'uli' toe, ba ngkai Alata'ala mpu'u-di ba bela-di.

³⁰If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

³⁰Ane rapa' -na lolita ngkai Alata'ala rata ncorobaa hi hadua to mohura, agina tauna to bula-na mololita mento'o-i ulu, bona doo-na rapalogai mololita.

³¹For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

³¹Ane hewa toe-koi, ma'ala mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala omea-koi momesampei, bona hawe'ea-ni mporata tudui' pai' hawe'ea-ni te'apui nono-ni.

³²And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

³²Nabi to mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala mpokuasai woto-na moto-i: nakule' mololita pai' mento'o mololita ntuku' konoa-na.

³³For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

³³Apa' konoa Alata'ala, bona tiapa' pogampara-ta, uma napokonoi to moguriwo'. Toe-mi atura to ratuku' hi hawe'ea pogamparaa to Kristen hi butu-butu ngata.

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.

³⁴Jadi', tobine-ni kana mengkalino hi pogamparaa. Uma-ra rapiliu mololita hewa tetu, kana mengkoru-ra hewa to te'uki' hi rala Atura Pue'.

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.

³⁵Ane doko' -ra mpo'inca ba napa-napa, agina rapekune' hi tomane-ra hi tomi, apa' uma-hawo natao ane tobine ntora mololita hewa tetu rala pogamparaa.

³⁶What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

³⁶Napa-di pai' ria-koi to uma dota mpotuku' atura-atura toe we'i? Ha ni'uli' -koina, koi' to lomo' -na mpoparata Lolita Alata'ala-e? Ba muntu' hi koi' -wadi Lolita Alata'ala raparata-e?

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.

³⁷Tantu ria-ra hi retu to mpo'uli' nabi mpu'u-ra, ra'uli' ria Inoha' Tomoroli' hi hira'. Jadi', ane ria mpu'u Inoha' Tomoroli' hi hira', kana rapangaku' napa to ku'uki' hi rehe'i bate parenta ngkai Pue'.

³⁸But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

³⁸Aga ane uma rapangalai' lolita-ku toi, neo' -ra rapangala'!

³⁹Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

³⁹Ngkai toe-mi ompi', huduwukui-koi mporata pakulea' mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala, aga neo' wo'o-ra ratagi to mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli'.

⁴⁰Let all things be done decently and in order.

⁴⁰Hawe'ea kana rababehi ntuku' ohea to natao pai' ntuku' aku-na.
