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

¹Težite za ljubavlju, čeznite za darima Duha, a najvećma da prorokujete.

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.

²Jer tko govori drugim jezikom, ne govori ljudima nego Bogu: nitko ga ne razumije jer Duhom govori stvari tajanstvene.

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

³Tko pak prorokuje, ljudima govori: izgrađuje, hrabri, tješi.

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

⁴Tko govori drugim jezikom, sam sebe izgrađuje, a tko prorokuje, Crkvu izgrađuje.

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.

⁵A htio bih da vi svi govorite drugim jezicima, ali većma da prorokujete. Jer veći je tko prorokuje, negoli tko govori drugim jezicima, osim ako protumači Crkvi radi izgrađivanja.

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?

⁶A sada, braćo, kad bih došao k vama govoreći drugim jezicima, što bi vam koristilo kad vam ne bih priopćio bilo otkrivenje, bilo spoznanje, bilo proroštvo, bilo nauk?

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?

⁷Ako neživa glazbala, svirala ili citra, ne daju razgovijetna glasa, kako će se razabrati što se to izvodi na svirali ili citri?

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

⁸Ili ako trublja daje nejasan glas, tko će se spremiti na boj?

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.

⁹Tako i vi, ako jezikom ne budete jasno zborili, kako će se razabrati što se govori? Govorit ćete u vjetar.

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

¹⁰Toliko, recimo, ima na svijetu vrsta glasova i - nijedan bez značenja.

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.

¹¹Ako dakle ne znam značenja glasa, bit ću sugovorniku tuđinac, a sugovornik tuđinac meni.

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

¹²Tako i vi, budući da čeznete za darima Duha, nastojte njima obilovati radi izgrađivanja Crkve.

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

¹³Stoga tko govori drugim jezikom, neka se moli da može protumačiti.

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

¹⁴Jer ako se drugim jezikom molim, moj se duh moli, ali um je moj neplodan.

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.

¹⁵Što dakle? Molit ću se duhom, molit ću se i umom; pjevat ću hvalospjeve duhom, ali pjevat ću ih i umom.

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?

¹⁶Jer ako Boga blagoslivljaš duhom, kako će neupućen reći "Amen" na tvoju zahvalnicu? Ne zna što govoriš.

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

¹⁷Ti doduše lijepo zahvaljuješ, ali se drugi ne izgrađuje.

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

¹⁸Hvala Bogu, ja govorim drugim jezicima većma nego svi vi.

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.

¹⁹Ali draže mi je u Crkvi reći pet riječi po svojoj pameti, da i druge poučim, negoli deset tisuća riječi drugim jezikom.

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

²⁰Braćo, ne budite djeca pameću, nego nejačad pakošću, a zreli pameću!

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

²¹U Zakonu je pisano: Drugim jezicima i drugim usnama govorit ću ovomu narodu pa me ni tako neće poslušati, govori Gospodin.

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.

²²Tako drugi jezici nisu znak vjernicima, nego nevjernicima; a prorokovanje vjernicima, ne nevjernicima.

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?

²³Ako se dakle skupi sva Crkva zajedno i svi govore drugim jezicima, a uđu neupućeni ili nevjernici, neće li reći da mahnitate?

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

²⁴Ako pak svi prorokuju, a uđe koji nevjernik ili neupućen, sve ga prekorava, sve ga osuđuje.

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.

²⁵Tajne se njegova srca očituju te će pasti ničice i pokloniti se Bogu priznajući: Zaista, Bog je u vama.

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.

²⁶Što dakle braćo? Kad se skupite te poneki ima hvalospjev, poneki ima nauk, ima otkrivenje, ima jezik, ima tumačenje - sve neka bude radi izgrađivanja.

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

²⁷Ako tko govori drugim jezikom - dvojica, najviše trojica, i to jedan za drugim - jedan neka tumači;

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

²⁸ako pak ne bi bilo tumača, neka šuti u Crkvi, neka govori sam sebi i Bogu.

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

²⁹Od proroka pak neka govore dvojica ili trojica, drugi neka rasuđuju.

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

³⁰Ali ako drugomu uza nj bude što objavljeno, prvi neka šuti.

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

³¹A možete jedan po jedan svi prorokovati da svi budu poučeni i svi ohrabreni.

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

³²Proročki su duhovi prorocima podložni

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

³³jer Bog nije Bog nesklada, nego Bog mira. Kao u svim Crkvama svetih, žene na Sastancima neka šute.

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.

³⁴Nije im dopušteno govoriti, nego neka budu podložne, kako i Zakon govori.

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.

³⁵Žele li što saznati, neka kod kuće pitaju svoje muževe jer ružno je da žena govori na Sastanku.

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

³⁶Ili zar je riječ Božja od vas proizašla, zar je samo k vama došla?

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.

³⁷Smatra li tko da je prorok ili duhom obdaren, neka zna: što vam pišem, Gospodnja je zapovijed.

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

³⁸Tko to ne prizna, ne priznaje se.

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

³⁹Zato, braćo moja, težite prorokovati i ne priječite da se govori drugim jezicima!

⁴⁰Let all things be done decently and in order.

⁴⁰A sve neka bude dostojno i uredno.
