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

¹Stíhajte lásku a snažte sa horlive o duchovné dary, ale viacej, aby ste prorokovali.

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.

²Lebo ten, kto hovorí jazykom, nehovorí ľuďom, ale Bohu, lebo nikto nerozumie, ale duchom hovorí tajomstvá.

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

³No, ten, kto prorokuje, hovorí ľuďom na vzdelanie, napomenutie a potešenie.

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

⁴Ten, kto hovorí jazykom, vzdeláva sám seba; ale ten, kto prorokuje, vzdeláva cirkev.

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 chcel by som, aby ste všetci hovorili jazykmi, ale radšej, aby ste prorokovali; lebo je väčší ten, kto prorokuje, ako ten, kto hovorí jazykmi, krome ak by aj vykladal, aby sa vzdelávala cirkev.

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?

⁶No, teraz, bratia, keby som prišiel k vám hovoriac jazykmi, čo by som vám prospel, keby som vám nehovoril buď zjavením buď známosťou buď proroctvom buď učením?

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?

⁷Veď aj bezdušné veci, vydávajúce zvuk, buď píšťala buď harfa, keby nedaly rozdielneho zvuku, jakože sa bude vedieť, čo sa píska alebo hrá?

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

⁸Alebo tiež keby trúba vydala neistý zvuk, kto sa bude chystať do boja?

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.

⁹Tak aj vy, keď ste jazykom nevydali srozumiteľného slova, jako sa bude vedieť, čo sa hovorí? Lebo budete hovoriť do povetria.

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

¹⁰Tak mnoho je, keby prišlo na to, rôznych zvukov na svete, a nič nie je bez zvuku;

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.

¹¹keby som tedy neznal moci čiže smyslu hlasu, budem tomu, kto hovorí, barbarom, a ten, kto hovorí, bude u mňa barbarom.

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

¹²Tak aj vy, preto že ste horlivcami za duchovné dary, na vzdelanie cirkvi hľadajte, aby ste hojneli.

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

¹³Pre tú príčinu ten, kto hovorí jazykom, nech sa modlí, že by vykladal.

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

¹⁴Lebo keď sa modlím jazykom, modlí sa môj duch, ale moja myseľ je bez užitku.

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.

¹⁵Čo tedy robiť? Budem sa modliť duchom, ale sa budem modliť aj mysľou; budem spievať chvály duchom, ale budem spievať chvály aj mysľou.

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?

¹⁶Pretože keby si dobrorečil duchom, ako potom ten, kto zaujíma miesto prostého človeka, povie na tvoje ďakovanie ameň, keď nevie, čo hovoríš?

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

¹⁷Lebo ty síce dobre ďakuješ, ale druhý sa nevzdeláva.

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

¹⁸Ďakujem svojmu Bohu, že viacej hovorím jazykmi ako vy všetci;

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.

¹⁹ale v sbore by som chcel prehovoriť radšej päť slov svojou mysľou, srozumiteľne, aby som aj iných poučil, než desať tisíc slov jazykom.

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

²⁰Bratia, nebuďte deťmi rozumom, lež zlobou buďte nedospelými, ale rozumom buďte dokonalí.

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

²¹V zákone je napísané: Inými jazykmi a inými rtami budem hovoriť tomuto ľudu; ale ani tak ma nepočúvnu, hovorí Pán.

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.

²²Takže jazyky sú na znamenie, a nie tým, ktorí veria, ale neveriacim; a proroctvo nie neveriacim, ale tým, ktorí veria.

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?

²³Keby sa tedy dovedna sišiel celý sbor, a všetci by hovorili jazykmi, a vošli by ta prostí ľudia, ktorí sa nerozumejú do vecí, alebo neveriaci, či nepovedia, že bláznite?

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

²⁴Ale keby všetci prorokovali, a vošiel by niekto neveriaci alebo prostý, bude káravo usviedčaný od všetkých, súdený od všetkých,

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.

²⁵a tak budú zjavované tajnosti jeho srdca, a tak padne na tvár a bude sa klaňať Bohu vyznávajúc, že je skutočne Bôh medzi vami.

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.

²⁶Tak čo tedy robiť, bratia? Keď sa schádzate, každý z vás má žalm, má učenie, má zjavenie, má jazyk, má výklad - všetko nech je na vzdelanie.

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

²⁷Buď že hovorí niekto jazykom, po dvoch alebo najviac traja a jeden po druhom, a jeden nech vykladá.

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

²⁸A keby nebolo vykladača, nech mlčí v sbore, a nech hovorí sám sebe a Bohu.

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

²⁹A proroci nech hovoria dvaja alebo traja, a druhí nech rozsudzujú.

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

³⁰A keby bolo niečo zjavené druhému, kto sedí, prvý nech mlčí.

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

³¹Lebo po jednom môžete všetci prorokovať, aby sa všetci učili a všetci sa potešovali

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

³²(A duchovia prorokov sa podriaďujú prorokom;

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

³³lebo Bôh nie je Bohom neporiadku, ale pokoja), ako vo všetkých sboroch svätých.

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.

³⁴Vaše ženy nech mlčia v sboroch, lebo sa im nedovoľuje hovoriť, ale podriaďovať sa, jako i zákon hovorí.

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.

³⁵A jestli sa chcú niečo naučiť, nech sa doma pýtajú svojich vlastných mužov, lebo je mrzká vec žene hovoriť v sbore.

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

³⁶Alebo či od vás vyšlo slovo Božie? Alebo či len k vám samým prišlo?

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.

³⁷Ak niekto myslí o sebe, že je prorok alebo duchovný, nech pozná dobre, čo vám píšem, že sú to prikázania Pánove.

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

³⁸Ale ak niekto nevie, nech nevie.

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

³⁹A tak, moji bratia, snažte sa horlive, aby ste prorokovali, a hovoriť jazykmi nebráňte,

⁴⁰Let all things be done decently and in order.

⁴⁰a všetko nech sa deje slušne a podľa poriadku.
