¹Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.

¹Le tu pala e dragostia, ai roden le podarki le Devleske, mai but kucha le profesia, chaches.

²For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

²Kodo kai del duma pel shiba chi del duma le manushensa, numa le Devlesa; ke khonik chi haliarel leske; ai ando duxo phenel shodenia.

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

³Kodo kai del profesia aver fial del duma le manushensa, zuralel le, zhutil le, pechil le.

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

⁴Kodo kai del duma pel shiba vazdel pek korkorho, kodo kai profetil vazdel e khangeri.

⁵Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

⁵Mangav te den duma savorhe pel shiba, numa mai but te profetis, kodo kai profetil mai baro lo sar kodo kai del duma pel shiba. De ferdi kodo vi te haliarela le shiba. Kashte te vazdel e khangeri.

⁶But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

⁶Akana, phrala le, che mishtimos kerava tumenge te avavas tumende te dav duma pel shiba, ai te na dav duma katar O Del, vai pa zhanglimos, vai pa profesia, vai pai zakono.

⁷Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

⁷Le dieluria kai chi mishkin, ai kai bashen sar iek fishtoko vai iek tsitura, chi bashen but fialuri, sar haliarasa so diilaben po flishtoko vai pe tsitura?

⁸For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?

⁸Ai e tutraza te bashela bi goresko, kon lashardiol po marimos?

⁹So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air.

⁹Vi tume, iek fialo la shibasa te na den iek vorba vorta sar zhangliape, so phenen? Dena duma pe barval.

¹⁰There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no [kind] is without signification.

¹⁰Makar ke but shiba si ande lumia, chi iek nai te na avel iek shib.

¹¹If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me.

¹¹No te na haliarava kodia shib, sim iek sirbatiko kodo leske kai del duma, ai kodo kai del duma si mange sirbatiko.

¹²So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church.

¹²Saikfialo tume, roden le podarki le Devleske te vazden e khangeri.

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

¹³Kodo kai del duma pa shiba, rhugilpe te mothol so phendia.

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

¹⁴Te rhugiva ma pel shiba, murho duxo rhugilpe, numa murhi goji chi kerel kanchi.

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.

¹⁵So te kerav? Rhugiv ma le duxosa, ai rhugiv ma vi la gojako, jilabav le duxosa, ai jilabav vi la gojasa.

¹⁶Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?

¹⁶Te na nichi, te naisisaras le Devles, pa le duxosa sar phenela o manush and narodo, Amen, kai naisardia, ke chi zhanel so phenes?

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

¹⁷Chaches mishto naisis, numa kaver nai vazdino.

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

¹⁸Naisiv le Devleske, ke dav duma pel shiba mai but sar tume savorhe.

¹⁹howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

¹⁹Numa ande khangeri mai drago mange te phenav panzh vorbi murhe gojasa, kashte te sicharav vi le kavren, de sar desh mi vorbi pel shiba.

²⁰Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.

²⁰Phrala le, te na aven shavorhe po haliarimos, aven manush numa keren sar le shavorhe kai chi zhanen sar te keren bezex.

²¹In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.

²¹Ramome ande zakono, katar manush avre shibake ai andal mursh streino dava duma kadale narodos, ai chi kadia chi ashunena mande, phenel O Del.

²²Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying [is for a sign], not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.

²²Anda kadia le shiba si semno, na kodolenge kai pachanpe, numa kodolenge kai chi pachanpe. E profesia aver fialo semno si, na kodolenge kai chi pachanpe, numa kodolenge ka pachanpe.

²³If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?

²³Te ande khangeri kana si chidine savorhe, den duma pel shiba, ai te avena manush anda narodo, vai kai chi pachanpe, chi phenena ke dile san?

²⁴But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all;

²⁴Numa savorhe te profetina, ai te avela iek manush kai chi pachanpe, vai iek manush anda narodo, savorhe keren les te haliarel, ai savorhe keren kris pe leste.

²⁵the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

²⁵O garaimata anda lesko ilo sikadiol, kadia ke perela tele mosa te rhugilape ka Del, ai vestila ke O Del chaches mashkar tumende lo.

²⁶What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

²⁶So te keras phralen? Kana chiden tume, iek vai avres si tume iek kantik, vai iek sicharimos, vai iek sikaimos, iek shib, iek parhuimos te kerdiol sa po vazdimos.

²⁷If any man speaketh in a tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most three, and [that] in turn; and let one interpret:

²⁷Si kai den duma pa shib, dui vai trin, vai mai but den duma swako te pesko rhindo, vai vari kon te parhuvel.

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

²⁸Te na avela vari kon kai parhuvel, te na den duma ande khangeri, ai swako te del duma pe sa, ai le Devles.

²⁹And let the prophets speak [by] two or three, and let the others discern.

²⁹Andal profeturia dui vai trin te den duma, ai kaver te keren kris.

³⁰But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.

³⁰Te avres kai beshel tele avel sikaimos, o pervo te na mai del duma.

³¹For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted;

³¹Ke savorhe sai profetin pala iek kavreske, kashte te aven sicharde. Ai savorhe te aven raduime.

³²and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;

³²O duxo le profetongo ninkeren le profeturia.

³³for God is not [a God] of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

³³Ke O Del nai iek Del bi gorasko, numa pacha, sar ande sa le khangeria le Swuntonge.

³⁴let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.

³⁴Le zhuvlia te na den duma kana si chidine ande khangeri, ke nai lenge slobodo te den duma, o zakono Zhidovisko phenel kodia.

³⁵And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church.

³⁵Te mangena te sichon pe vari soste te beshen penge rhomen khere. Ke zhungales ieka zhuvliake te del duma ande khangeri.

³⁶What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?

³⁶Tumendar ankliste le Vorba le Devleski vai ferdi tumende avili?

³⁷If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

³⁷Te gindilpe vari kon profeto, vai ke zhanel te dikhel, ke so ramov tumenge, zakono si katar O Del.

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

³⁸Ai te na zhanel vari kon, mek te na zhanel.

³⁹Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

³⁹Kadia, phrala le, roden e podarka le profesiaki, ai chi aterdion le te den duma pel shiba.

⁴⁰But let all things be done decently and in order.

⁴⁰Numa swako fialo te kerdiol mishto ai vorta.
