¹ܗܪܛܘ ܒܬܪ ܚܘܒܐ ܘܛܢܘ ܒܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܬܢܒܘܢ ܀

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

²ܡܢ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܓܝܪ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܫܡܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܐܠܐ ܒܪܘܚ ܐܪܙܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܀

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.

³ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܬܢܒܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܘܠܘܒܒܐ ܘܒܘܝܐܐ ܀

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

⁴ܕܡܡܠܠ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܗܘ ܒܢܐ ܘܕܡܬܢܒܐ ܥܕܬܐ ܒܢܐ ܀

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

⁵ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܠܟܘܢ ܬܡܠܠܘܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܬܢܒܘܢ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܬܢܒܐ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܐܢ ܠܐ ܡܦܫܩ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܦܫܩ ܥܕܬܐ ܒܢܐ ܀

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.

⁶ܘܗܫܐ ܐܚܝ ܐܢ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܘ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܀

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?

⁷ܐܦ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗܝܢ ܢܦܫܐ ܘܝܗܒܢ ܩܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܒܘܒܐ ܘܐܢ ܩܝܬܪܐ ܐܢ ܦܘܪܫܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕܢ ܒܝܬ ܩܝܢܬܐ ܠܚܒܪܬܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܙܕܡܪ ܐܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܢܩܫ ܀

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?

⁸ܘܐܢ ܩܪܢܐ ܬܩܪܐ ܩܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܦܪܝܫ ܡܢܘ ܢܬܛܝܒ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܀

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

⁹ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܦܫܩܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܥܡ ܐܐܪ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

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.

¹⁰ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܓܢܤܐ ܕܠܫܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܩܠܐ ܀

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

¹¹ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܒܪܒܪܝܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܘܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܝ ܒܪܒܪܝܐ ܀

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.

¹²ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܢܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܒܥܘ ܕܬܬܝܬܪܘܢ ܀

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

¹³ܘܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܕܢܦܫܩ ܀

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

¹⁴ܐܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܘܝܬ ܡܨܠܐ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܪܘܚܝ ܗܘ ܡܨܠܝܐ ܡܕܥܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܀

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

¹⁵ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܥܒܕ ܐܨܠܐ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܘܐܨܠܐ ܐܦ ܒܡܕܥܝ ܘܐܙܡܪ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܘܐܙܡܪ ܐܦ ܒܡܕܥܝ ܀

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.

¹⁶ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܐܢ ܡܒܪܟ ܐܢܬ ܒܪܘܚ ܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܐ ܕܘܟܬܗ ܕܗܕܝܘܛܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܐܡܪ ܐܡܝܢ ܥܠ ܬܘܕܝܬܟ ܕܝܠܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܀

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?

¹⁷ܐܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪ ܡܒܪܟ ܐܢܬ ܐܠܐ ܚܒܪܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܒܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁸ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁹ܐܠܐ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܚܡܫ ܡܠܝܢ ܒܡܕܥܝ ܐܡܠܠ ܕܐܦ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܠܦ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܘ ܡܠܝܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܀

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.

²⁰ܐܚܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܛܠܝܢ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܒܝܫܬܐ ܗܘܘ ܝܠܘܕܐ ܘܒܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܡܝܪܝܢ ܀

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

²¹ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܒܡܡܠܠܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܘܒܠܫܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܥܡ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢܢܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܀

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.

²²ܡܕܝܢ ܠܫܢܐ ܠܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܤܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܀

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.

²³ܐܢ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܬܬܟܢܫ ܟܠܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܢܥܠܘܢ ܗܕܝܘܛܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܫܢܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

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?

²⁴ܘܐܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܢܒܝܢ ܘܢܥܘܠ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܕܝܘܛܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܡܬܒܨܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܀

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:

²⁵ܘܟܤܝܬܐ ܕܠܒܗ ܡܬܓܠܝܢ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܢܤܓܘܕ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܀

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.

²⁶ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܕܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܢܐܡܪ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܓܠܝܢܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܫܢܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܦܘܫܩܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܀

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.

²⁷ܘܐܢ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܡܠܠ ܬܪܝܢ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܤܓܝ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܚܕ ܚܕ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܚܕ ܢܦܫܩ ܀

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.

²⁸ܘܐܢ ܠܝܬ ܕܡܦܫܩ ܢܫܬܘܩ ܠܗ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܘܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܘܠܐܠܗܐ ܢܡܠܠ ܀

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

²⁹ܢܒܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܘ ܬܠܬܐ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܘܫܪܟܐ ܢܦܪܫܘܢ ܀

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

³⁰ܘܐܢ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܫܬܘܩ ܠܗ ܀

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

³¹ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܕ ܚܕ ܬܬܢܒܘܢ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܢܐܠܦ ܘܟܠܢܫ ܢܬܒܝܐ ܀

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

³²ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܐ ܀

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

³³ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܀

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

³⁴ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܫܬܝܩܢ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܦܤ ܠܗܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܫܬܥܒܕܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܡܪ ܀

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.

³⁵ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܨܒܝܢ ܕܢܐܠܦܢ ܒܒܬܝܗܝܢ ܢܫܐܠܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܒܗܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܫܐ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܢܡܠܠܢ ܀

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.

³⁶ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܘ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܡܛܬ ܀

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

³⁷ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܤܒܪ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܗܘ ܢܕܥ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܪܢ ܀

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.

³⁸ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܠܐ ܢܕܥ ܀

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

³⁹ܛܢܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܠܡܬܢܒܝܘ ܘܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܒܠܫܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܀

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

⁴⁰ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܘܒܛܟܤܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܀

⁴⁰Let all things be done decently and in order.
