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

¹Çarreitzate chariteari, eta çareten dohain spiritual guthicioso, baina guehienic prophetiza deçaçuen.

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.

²Ecen lengoage arrotzez minço dena etzaye guiçoney minço, baina Iaincoari: ecen nehorc eztu ençuten, eta spirituz mysterioac erraiten ditu.

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

³Baina prophetizatzen duena, guiçoney minço çaye edificationetan, eta exhortationetan, eta consolationetan.

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

⁴Lengoage arrotzez minço denac, bere buruä edificatzen du: baina prophetizatzen duenac, Eliçá edificatzen du.

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.

⁵Nahi dut bada çuec gucioc lengoage diuersez minça çaitezten, baina nahiago prophetiza deçaçuen ecen handiago da prophetizatzen duena ecen ez lengoage diuersez minço dena, baldin interpretatzen ezpadu, Eliçác edificatione har deçançát.

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?

⁶Bada orain, anayeác, baldin banathor çuetara lengoage arrotzez minço naicela, cer probetchu eguinen drauçuet: baldin minça ezpanaquiçue edo reuelationez, edo scientiaz, edo prophetiaz, edo doctrinaz?

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?

⁷Eta gauça arima gabe soinu emaiten dutenec-ere edo den chirula, edo harpa, baldin cerbait differentia tonuz ezpademate, nolatan eçaguturen da chiruláz edo harpáz ioiten dena?

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

⁸Ecen baldin soinu iaquin-bat eman ezpadeça trompettác, nor preparaturen da bataillara?

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.

⁹Hala çuec-ere baldin adi daitequeen hitza mihiaz pronuntia ezpadeçaçue, nolatan adituren da erraiten dena? ecen airera minçaçale içanen çarete.

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

¹⁰Hambat (heltzen ohi den beçala) soinu mota da munduan, eta batre ezta muturic.

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.

¹¹Beraz baldin ezpadaquit vozaren verthutea, içanen natzayó minço denari barbaro: eta minço çaitadana barbaro içanen çait.

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

¹²Hala çuec-ere dohain spiritual guthicioso çaretenaz gueroz, çarreitzate hetan abundoso içateari Eliçaren edificationetan.

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

¹³Halacotz lengoage arrotzez minço denac othoitz begui interpreta ahal deçançát.

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

¹⁴Ecen baldin lengoage arrotzez othoitz eguiten badut, ene spirituac othoitz eguiten du: baina ene adimendua fructu gabe da.

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.

¹⁵Cer bada? othoitz eguinen dut spirituz, baina othoitz eguinen dut adimenduz-ere: cantaturen dut spirituz, baina cantaturen dut adimenduz-ere.

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?

¹⁶Bercela, baldin benedica badeçac spirituz, ignorantaren lekua daducanac nolatán erranen du Amen hire remerciamenduaren gainera? ecen hic cer erraiten duan etzeaquic.

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

¹⁷Ecen hic bay esquerrac emaiten dituc, baina bercea eztatec edificatzen.

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

¹⁸Esquerrac emaiten drauzquiot neure Iaincoari, ceren çuec gucioc baino guehiago lengoagez minço bainaiz.

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.

¹⁹Baina Eliçán nahiago naiz borz hitz neure adimenduz minçatu, berceac-ere instrui ditzadançát, ecen ez hamar milla hitz lengoage arrotzez.

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

²⁰Anayeác, etzaretela adimenduz haour: baina çareten malitiaz haour, eta adimenduz çareten guiçon eguinac.

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

²¹Leguean scribatua da, Halacotz berce lengoagetaco gendez, eta ezpain arrotzez minçaturen natzayo populu huni: eta are halatan eznaute ençunen, dio launac.

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.

²²Bada lengoage arrotzac dirade seignaletan, ez sinhesten duteney, baina infideley: baina prophetiá, ez infideley, baina sinhesten duteney.

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?

²³Bada baldin Eliça gucia bil badadi batetara, eta guciac lengoage arrotzez minça ditecen, eta ignorantac, edo infidelac sar ditecen: eztuté erranen, ecen erhotzen çaretela?

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

²⁴Baina baldin guciéc prophetizatzen baduté, eta sar dadin cembeit infidel edo ignorant, vençutzen da guciéz, eta iugeatzen da guciéz.

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.

²⁵Eta halatan haren bihotzeco secretuac manifestatzen dirade: eta hala ahoz beheraturic adoraturen du Iaincoa, declaratzen duela ecen Iaincoa eguiazqui çuetan dela.

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.

²⁶Cer da bada anayeac? biltzen çareten oroz, çuetaric batbederac psalmu du, doctrina du, reuelatione du, lengoage du, interpretatione du, gauça guciac edificationetan eguin bitez.

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

²⁷Ezpa lengoage arrotzez edocein minço bada, biguez edo gorena hirurez eguin bedi, eta aldizca: eta batec interpreta beça.

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

²⁸Eta baldin interpretaçaleric ezpada, ichil bedi Eliçan lengoage arrotzez minço dena, eta bere buruäri minça bequió eta Iaincoari.

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

²⁹Eta biga edo hirur Propheta minça bitez, eta bercéc iugea beçate.

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

³⁰Eta baldin cerbait berce iarriric dagoen bati reuelatu içan baçayó, lehena ichil bedi.

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

³¹Ecen guciéc bata bercearen ondoan prophetiza ahal deçaqueçue, guciéc ikas deçatençát, eta guciac consola ditecençát.

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

³²Eta Prophetén spirituac Prophetén suiet dirade.

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

³³Ecen Iaincoa ezta confusionezco Iainco, baina baquezco, sainduén Eliça gucietan agueri den beçala.

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.

³⁴Çuen emazteac Elicetan ichilic beude: ecen etzaye permettitzen minçatzera: baina bire suiet, Legueac-ere erraiten duen beçala.

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.

³⁵Eta baldin cerbait ikassi nahi baduté, etchean bere senharrac interroga bitzate: ecen deshonest da emaztén Eliçán minçatzea.

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

³⁶Ala çuetaric Iaincoaren hitza ilki içan da? ala çuetara beretara heldu içan da?

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.

³⁷Baldin cembeitec vste badu Propheta dela, edo spiritual, eçagut beça ecen scribatzen drauzquiçuedan gauçác Iaincoaren manamendu diradela.

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

³⁸Eta ignorant dena, ignorant biz.

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

³⁹Halacotz, anayeác, çareten prophetizatzera guthicioso, eta lengoage arrotzez minçatzea ezteçaçuela empatcha.

⁴⁰Let all things be done decently and in order.

⁴⁰Baina gauça guciac bidezqui eta ordenançaz eguin bitez.
