1 BAKORINTHE 14

Molemo wa neo ya go ruta

1 Latelelang lorato, lo tlhoafalele dineo tsa mowa, mme bogolo gore lo rute.t 2 Gonne yo o buang ka lolemet ga a bue le batho, o bua le Modimo; gonne ga a utlwiwe ke ope, mme o bua masaitsiweng ka mowa. 3 Mme yo o rutang ene o bua le batho tse di agang le tsa kgothatso le tsa nametso.

4 Yo o buang ka loleme o a ikaga; mme yo o rutang o aga phuthego.
5 Ke rata gore lo bue lotlhe ka diteme, mme ke rata gore bogolo lo rute; gonne yo o rutang o gaisa yo o buang ka loleme, fa e se gore a phutholole gore phuthego e agege.t

6 Jaanong, ba ga etsho, fa nka tla koo go lona, ka bua ka loleme, ke sa bue le lona ka tshenolo gongwe ka kitso gongwe ka polelelopele gongwe ka thuto, nka bo ke lo thusa eng?t
7 Le diletso tse di sa pheleng, e ka nna lotlhaka gongwe lengope, fa di sa farologanye medumo, go ka lemosega jang se se lediwang ka lotlhaka gongwe ka lengope? 8 Kana fa lonaka lo ka ntsha modumo o o sa utlwaleng, ke mang yo o ka iketleeletsang go ya ntweng? 9 Le lona jalo, fa lo sa bolele mafoko ka diteme a a utlwegang sentle, go tla tlhaloganngwa jang se se buiwang? Kana lo tla bo lo bolela tse di tsewang ke phefo! 10 Le fa go na le mefuta e e kana kang ya dipuo mo lefatsheng, ga go na epe e e sa utlwaleng. 11 Fa jaanong ke sa itse se puo e se rayang, ke tla bo ke tshwana le moeng mo go ene yo o buang, le ene yo o buang o tla bo a ntse jaaka moeng mo go nna.

12 Le lona jalo, e re ka lo tlhoafaletse dineo tsa Mowa, tlhokomelang gore di lo atele, phuthego e tle e agege ka tsona.t
13 Ka moo, a ene yo o buang ka loleme a rapele gore a kgone go phutholola!t 14 Gonne fa ke rapela ka loleme, go tla bo go rapela mowa wa ka, mme tlhaloganyo ya me e tla bo e sa thuse ope. 15 Jaanong go ka tweng? Ke tla rapela ka mowa, e bile ke tla rapela ka tlhaloganyo; ke tla opela ka mowa, mme le gona ke tla opela ka tlhaloganyo.t 16 Fa go sa nne jalo, e ka re fa o leboga ka mowa fela, mophuthego yo o sa go tlhaloganyeng o tla itse jang go bua a re: “Amen!” mo tebogong ya gago, ka a sa itse se wena o se buang?

17 Le gale wena o leboga sentle, mme yo mongwe ene ga a agiwe.
18 Ke leboga Modimo wa me, ka ke ka bua ka loleme bogolo go lona lotlhe.

19 Mme mo phuthegong ke rata go bua mafoko a le matlhano fela ka tlhaloganyo ya me gore le ba bangwe ke ba rute, bogolo go go bua mafoko a le dikete di le some ka loleme.
20 Ba ga etsho, se nneng bana mo tlhaloganyong, mme nnang masea mo bosuleng; mo tlhaloganyong gona lo nne banna.t

21 Mo molaong go kwadilwe ga twe:
“Ke tla bua le batho ba
ka dipuo di sele
le ka melomo ya ba sele;
mme le ka mokgwa o o ntseng
jalo ga ba nke ba nkutlwa,
go bua Morena.”t

22 Ke ka moo go bua ka loleme e leng sesupo go ba ba sa dumeleng, e seng go ba ba dumelang; mme thuto ke sesupo go ba ba dumelang, e seng go ba ba sa dumeleng.
23 Fa jaanong phuthego yotlhe e phuthegetse felong go le gongwe, mme botlhe ba bua ka diteme, mme go tsena ba ba sa tlhaloganyeng gongwe ba ba sa dumeleng, a ga ba nke ba re: “Lo a tsenwa!”? 24 Mme fa botlhe ba ka senola Lefoko la Modimo, mme go tsena yo o sa dumeleng gongwe yo o sa tlhaloganyeng, o tla lemosiwa molato ke botlhe le go atlholwa ke botlhe.

25 Foo sephiri sa pelo ya gagwe se tla bonatsega; o tla itigela fa fatshe, a obamela Modimo, a bolela a re: “Ka nnete, Modimo o mo go lona.”t

Thulaganyo e batlega mo tirelong-Modimo

33 Gonne Modimo ga se wa tlhakatlhakanyo, ke wa kagiso jaaka go ntse mo diphuthegong tsotlhe tsa baitshepi.
34 A basadi ba lona ba didimale mo diphuthegong; gonne ga ba a letlelelwa go bua, mme a ba ikokobetse jaaka molao le ona o bua.t

35 Mme fa ba rata go ithuta, a ba botse banna ba bone kwa gae; gonne go a rona, fa mosadi a bua mo phuthegong.
36 A kampo Lefoko la Modimo le simologile mo go lona, gongwe a le ne la tla kwa go lona lo le losi? 37 Fa motho a ikutlwa a le moporofeti gongwe a le wa mowa, a a itse gore tse ke di lo kwalelang ke ditaolo tsa Morena.t

38 Mme fa mongwe a sa utlwisise, a a nne a sa utlwisise!
39 Ka moo he, ba ga etsho, tlhoafalelang go ranola Lefoko la Modimo, mme lo se iletse go bua ka loleme. 40 A tsotlhe di dirwe ka maitsholo le ka thulaganyo!t

1 Corinthians 14

1 Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.2 For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation.4 He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.5 Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.6 But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?7 Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?9 So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air.10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no kind is without signification.11 If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me.12 So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church.13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret.14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.15 What 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.16 Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.18 I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all:19 howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.20 Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.21 In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.23 If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all;25 the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.26 What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.27 If any man speaketh in a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and that in turn; and let one interpret:28 but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.29 And let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others discern.30 But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.31 For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted;32 and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,34 let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.35 And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church.36 What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?37 If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.38 But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.39 Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.40 But let all things be done decently and in order.
