¹Prizadevajte si za ljubezen, hrepenite pa tudi po duhovnih darovih, a najbolj, da prorokujete.

¹Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

²Kajti kdor govori v tujem jeziku, ne govori ljudem, ampak Bogu; kajti nihče ga ne razume, v duhu pa govori skrivnosti.

²For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

³A kdor prorokuje, govori ljudem, da jim služi v napredovanje in jih tolaži in opominja:

³But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

⁴Kdor govori v jeziku, streže sebi v napredek, kdor pa prorokuje, pospešuje napredek cerkve.

⁴He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

⁵Hotel bi pa, da vsi govorite jezike, a veliko bolj, da prorokujete. Večji je, kdor prorokuje, nego kdor govori jezike, razen če bi razkladal, da bi cerkev prejela, kar ji služi v napredek.

⁵Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

⁶Tako pa, bratje, če pridem k vam, jezike govoreč, kaj vam bom koristil, ko vam ne govorim ali v razodetju, ali v spoznanju, ali v proroštvu, ali v nauku?

⁶But now, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

⁷Brezdušna godala, bodisi piščal ali citre, naj se tudi glase, če pa razločka nimajo v glasovih, kako bomo umeli, kaj se piska ali citra?

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

⁸Saj tudi če da trobenta nerazločen glas, kdo se pripravi za boj?

⁸For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?

⁹Tako tudi z vami: če z jezikom ne govorite razumljive besede, kako bodo umeli, kaj pravite? V zrak boste govorili.

⁹So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

¹⁰Toliko raznovrstnih glasov, postavim, je na svetu in nobeden ni brez pomena.

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

¹¹Če torej ne vem pomena glasu, bodem tujec govorečemu in govoreči bode meni tujec.

¹¹If then I don’t know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

¹²Tako tudi z vami: ker ste vneti za duhovne dari, iščite, da jih imate obilo in ž njimi služite v napredovanje cerkve.

¹²So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

¹³Zato, kdor govori v jeziku, naj moli, da bi mogel razkladati.

¹³Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

¹⁴Kajti če molim v jeziku, duh moj moli, a um moj je brez sadu.

¹⁴For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

¹⁵Kaj torej? Molil bom z duhom, a molil bom tudi z umom; prepeval bom z duhom, a prepeval bom tudi z umom.

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.

¹⁶Sicer, če hvališ Boga le z duhom, kako poreče ta, ki je nepoučen, Amen na tvojo zahvalo, ko ne ve, kaj govoriš?

¹⁶Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?

¹⁷Ti se resda lepo zahvaljuješ, ali drugemu ne služiš za napredek.

¹⁷For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

¹⁸Zahvaljujem Boga, da govorim v jezikih bolj nego vi vsi;

¹⁸I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

¹⁹toda v cerkvi rečem rajši pet besed s svojim umom, da poučim tudi druge, nego pa deset tisoč besed v jeziku.

¹⁹However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

²⁰Bratje, ne bodite deca v razumu, ampak v zlobi bodite deca, a v razumu bodite popolni!

²⁰Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

²¹V postavi je pisano: „S tujimi jeziki in z ustnami tujcev bom govoril temu ljudstvu, in tudi tako me ne bodo poslušali, pravi Gospod“.

²¹In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord.” Isaiah 28:11-12

²²Jeziki so torej za znamenje ne tem, ki verujejo, temuč nevernim, proroštvo pa ne nevernim, temuč tem, ki verujejo.

²²Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

²³Ko bi se torej sešla cerkev vsa na en kraj in bi vsi govorili jezike in bi prišli tja tudi nepoučeni ali neverniki, ne poreko li, da norite?

²³If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?

²⁴Ko pa vsi prorokujejo, a pride tja kak nevernik ali nepoučen človek, ga prepričujejo vsi, ga sodijo vsi,

²⁴But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

²⁵skrivnosti njegovega srca se razodevajo, in tako bo padel na obraz in molil Boga in priznaval, da je Bog zares med vami.

²⁵And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

²⁶Kaj torej, bratje? Kadar se shajate, ima vsak vas ali psalm, ali nauk, ali razodetje, ali jezik, ali razkladanje. Vse naj se zgodi tako, da se pospešuje napredek.

²⁶What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

²⁷Če kdo govori v jeziku, naj govorita po dva ali kvečjemu po trije in drug za drugim, in eden naj razklada.

²⁷If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

²⁸Ko bi pa ne bilo razkladalca, naj molči v zboru, a govori naj sebi in Bogu.

²⁸But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

²⁹Proroki naj pa govore dva ali trije, drugi naj pa razsojajo.

²⁹Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

³⁰Ako pa drugi, ki sedi zraven, prejme razodetje, naj molči prvi.

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

³¹Kajti morete vsi, eden po eden, prorokovati, da prejmo vsi pouk in se vsi potolažijo.

³¹For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.

³²In duhovi proroški so pokorni prorokom;

³²The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

³³zakaj Bog ni Bog nereda, ampak miru, kakor po vseh zborih svetniških.

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

³⁴Žene naj v vaših zborih molče; kajti ni jim dopuščeno govoriti, temuč podložne naj bodo, kakor veli tudi postava.

³⁴let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the law also says.

³⁵A če se hočejo česa naučiti, doma naj vprašajo svoje može; zakaj nespodobno je ženi govoriti v cerkvenem zboru.

³⁵If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.

³⁶Ali pa je od vas izšla beseda Božja? ali pa je prišla k vam samim?

³⁶What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

³⁷Če kdo misli, da je prorok ali z Duhom obdarovan, naj spozna, kar vam pišem, da je Gospodova zapoved.

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

³⁸Če pa kdo noče umeti, naj ne ume.

³⁸But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

³⁹Zatorej, bratje moji, gorite za to, da prorokujete, in nikar ne branite govoriti v jezikih!Vse naj se spodobno in po redu godi.

³⁹Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.

⁴⁰Vse naj se spodobno in po redu godi.

⁴⁰Let all things be done decently and in order.
