1 J acaylka raaca, oo weliba hadiyadaha Ruuxa ka yimaada aad u doona, oo siiba doona inaad wax sii sheegtaan.

Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

2 W aayo, kii af uusan aqoon ku hadlaa, lama hadlo dadka, wuxuuse la hadlaa Ilaah, waayo, ninna ma garto; laakiin Ruuxa ayaa waxyaalaha qarsoon kaga dhex hadliya.

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

3 L aakiin kii wax sii sheegaa wuxuu dadka kula hadlaa hadallo wax dhisa oo gargaar iyo qalbiqaboojis leh.

But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

4 K ii af uusan aqoon ku hadlaa wuu isdhisaa, laakiin kii wax sii sheegaa wuxuu dhisaa kiniisadda.

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.

5 W axaan jeclaan lahaa inaad dhammaantiin afaf ku wada hadashaan, laakiin waxaan ka sii jeclaan lahaa inaad wax sii sheegtaan. Kii afaf ku hadlaa hadduusan fasirin, waxaa ka sii weyn kii wax sii sheega, si ay kiniisaddu u hesho wax ay ku dhisanto.

I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification. Tongues Must Be Interpreted

6 L aakiin hadda, walaalayaalow, haddaan idiin imaado, anigoo afaf ku hadlaya, maxaan idiin tari doonaa, haddaanan idinkula hadlin muujin ama aqoon ama wax sii sheegid ama waxbarid?

But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching?

7 X ataa waxyaalo aan naf lahayni markay dhawaaqaan, ha ahaadeen ama biibiile ama kataarad, haddaanay dhawaaqa kala soocin, sidee baa loo kala garanayaa waxa la yeedhiyo ama waxa kataaradda laga dhawaajiyo?

Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played?

8 H adduu buunku ku dhawaaqo cod aan la kala garan, yaa dagaal isu diyaargarayn doona?

For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?

9 S idaasoo kalena idinku markaad af ku hadashaan haddaydnan ku hadlin hadal la garto, sidee baa loo garanayaa waxa lagu hadlayo? Waayo, dabayshaad la hadlaysaan.

So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

10 M indhaa waxaa dunida jira codad badan oo kala cayn ah, oo mid aan micne lahayni ma jiro.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance.

11 H addaba haddaanan garanaynin micnaha codka, waxaan kii hadlaya u ahaan doonaa nin qalaad, kan hadlayaana nin qalaad ayuu ii ahaan doonaa.

Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.

12 S idaasoo kale idinkuna, idinkoo ku kulul hadiyadaha ruuxa, aad u dadaala inaad hadiyado badan u lahaataan kiniisadda dhisniinteeda.

Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

13 S idaa daraaddeed kii af ku hadlaa, Ilaah ha ka baryo si uu u fasiro.

Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

14 W aayo, haddaan Ilaah af aanan oqoon ku baryo, ruuxayga ayaa barya, laakiin garashadaydu faa'iido ma leh.

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

15 M axaa jira haddaba? Ruuxa ayaan Ilaah ku baryi doonaa, laakiin waxaan kaloo isaga ku baryi doonaa garashada. Ruuxa ayaan ku heesi doonaa, oo garashadana waan ku heesi doonaa.

What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

16 H addii kale haddaad ruuxa ku ducaysid, kii meesha jooga oo aan garanaynin, sidee buu u odhan doonaa, Aamiin, markaad mahadnaqaysid, hadduusan garanaynin waxaad leedahay?

Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?

17 S i wanaagsan baad u mahadnaqdaa, laakiin kan kale ma dhisna.

For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.

18 W axaan Ilaah ugu mahadnaqayaa inaan afaf ku hadlo intaad dhammaantiin ku hadashaan in ka badan,

I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;

19 l aakiin kiniisadda dhexdeeda, meeshii aan toban kun oo eray af kaga hadli lahaa, waxaan ka jeclaan lahaa inaan shan eray garashadayda ku hadlo inaan kuwa kalena wax baro.

yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. Tongues a Sign to Unbelievers

20 W alaalayaalow, carruur ha ka noqonina xagga maanka, xagga xumaantase dhallaan ka ahaada, laakiin xagga maanka dad waaweyn ka ahaada.

Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.

21 W axaa sharciga ku qoran, Waxaan dadkan kula hadli doonaa afaf qalaad iyo bushimo dad kale, oo xataa sidaa daraaddeed ima maqli doonaan, ayuu Rabbigu leeyahay.

In the law it is written: “With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,” says the Lord.

22 H addaba afafku calaamo uma aha kuwa rumaysta ee waxay calaamo u yihiin kuwa aan rumaysan, wax sii sheegidduse calaamo uma aha kuwa aan rumaysan, laakiin waxay calaamo u tahay kuwa rumaysta.

Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

23 H addaba haddii kiniisadda oo dhammu isu timaado, oo ay ku wada hadlaan afaf, oo haddii dad aan garanaynin ama aan rumaysanayni soo galaan, miyaanay odhanaynin, Waad waalan tihiin?

Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

24 L aakiin hadday dhammaantood wax sii sheegaan oo uu u yimaado mid aan rumaysanayn ama aan garanaynini, isaga waa la wada canaantaa, oo la wada xukumaa.

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all.

25 W axyaalaha qarsoon ee qalbigiisa waa la muujiyaa, oo taa aawadeed wejigiisuu u dhici doonaa oo Ilaah ayuu caabudi doonaa isagoo odhanaya, Runtii Ilaah waa idin dhex joogaa. Waa In Ilaah Si Hagaagsan Loo Caabudo

And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you. Order in Church Meetings

26 M axaa jira haddaba, walaalayaalow? Markaad isu timaadaan, mid kasta hees sabuur ah buu leeyahay, midna waxbarid buu leeyahay, midna muujin buu leeyahay, midna af buu leeyahay, midna fasiraad buu leeyahay. Wax walba ha loo sameeyo dhisniin.

How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

27 H addii nin uun af ku hadlo, ha ahaadeen laba, ama hadday u bataan, saddex, oo midba markiisa ha hadlo, midna ha fasiro,

If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.

28 l aakiin haddaan mid fasiraa jirin, kiniisadda ha ka aamusnaado, oo isagu ha la hadlo qudhiisa iyo Ilaah.

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

29 N ebiyadana laba ama saddex ha hadleen, kuwa kalena ha kala xukumeen waxay leeyihiin.

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

30 L aakiin haddii wax loo muujiyo mid ag fadhiya, kii hore ha aamuso.

But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.

31 W aayo, dhammaantiin mid mid baad wax u sii wada sheegi kartaan, si ay dhammaan wax u bartaan oo dhammaan loogu wada gargaaro.

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

32 O o ruuxyada nebiyadu waa ka dambeeyaan nebiyada.

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

33 W aayo, Ilaah ma aha Ilaaha iskuqasnaanta, laakiin waa kan nabadda. Kiniisadaha quduusiinta oo dhan dhexdoodana waa sidaas oo kale.

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

34 D umarku markay kiniisadaha joogaan ha aamuseen, waayo, looma fasixin inay hadlaan; laakiin ha dambeeyeen, sida uu sharcigu leeyahay.

Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.

35 H adday doonayaan inay wax bartaan, nimankooda ha ku weyddiiyeen guriga, maxaa yeelay, waa ku ceeb naag inay kiniisadda dhexdeeda ku hadasho.

And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

36 M axaa jira! Ma idinkay ahaayeen kuwii uu ereyga Ilaah ka soo baxay, mise keligiin buu idiin yimid?

Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached?

37 N in uun hadduu isu maleeyo inuu nebi yahay, ama mid Ruuxa raaca, ha garto waxyaalahaan idiin soo qorayo inay yihiin qaynuunka Rabbiga.

If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

38 N in uuni hadduusan ogayn tan, isagana lama yaqaan.

But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

39 T aa aawadeed, walaalahayow, ku dadaala inaad wax sii sheegtaan, hana diidina in afaf lagu hadlo,

Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.

40 l aakiin wax walba ha loo sameeyo si habboon oo hagaagsan.

Let all things be done decently and in order.
