哥林多前书 14
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
先知传道——更超卓的恩赐
14 你们要追求爱,也要渴慕属灵的事[a],但更要渴慕做先知传道[b]。 2 原来那说殊言[c]的,不是对人说,而是对神说,因为没有人听得懂;他是在灵里讲说各样的奥秘。 3 可是那做先知传道的是对人说,为要造就、鼓励和安慰人。 4 那说殊言的是造就自己,但那做先知传道的是造就教会。 5 我虽然希望你们都说殊言,但更希望你们都做先知传道。因为,除非说殊言的能把殊言翻译出来使教会得到造就,否则那做先知传道的就比说殊言的更大了。
6 所以弟兄们,就算我现在到你们那里去,用殊言说话,但如果不用启示、知识、预言[d]、或教导来对你们说话,那么我对你们有什么益处呢? 7 甚至是那些没有生命却能发出声音的东西,例如笛子或竖琴,如果发出的音调没有分别,怎么能使人知道所吹所弹的是什么呢? 8 实际上,如果号角发出的声音真的不清楚,谁会准备好出战呢? 9 照样,如果你们用舌头说出不可理解的话,那么所说的怎么能使人明白呢?这样,你们就是向空气说话了。 10 世界上也许有好多种语言,但没有一种是没有意思的。 11 所以,如果我不明白那语言的意思,那么,对于说话的人,我就是个外族人;对于我,那说话的人也是个外族人。 12 你们也是这样:既然你们对属灵的事[e]是热心人,就应当追求造就教会的事,好让你们能丰足有余。
13 所以,说殊言的人应当祷告,好让自己能翻译出来。 14 如果我用殊言祷告,是我的灵在祷告,但我的理性却是结不出果子的。 15 那么该怎么办呢?我要用灵祷告,也要用理性祷告;我要用灵歌颂,也要用理性歌颂。 16 否则,如果你用灵祝谢,在场的那些不明白的人,既然不知道你在说什么,怎么能在你感谢的时候说“阿们”呢? 17 因为你感谢的固然是好,但别人却没有得造就。 18 我感谢神,我说殊言比你们所有人都多; 19 但是在教会里,为了要教导别人,我宁愿用我的理性说五句话,也不愿用殊言说万句话。
20 弟兄们,你们在思想上不要做小孩子,但是在恶事上要做婴孩,在思想上要做成熟的人[f]。 21 律法书上记着:“主说:
‘我要藉着说别种语言的人,
藉着别人的嘴唇对这子民说话。
即使这样,他们也不会听我的。’”[g]
22 这样,说殊言不是给信的人做为标记,而是给不信的人;但做先知传道[h]不是给不信的人做为标记,而是给信的人。 23 所以,如果全教会聚集在一起,大家都说殊言,有不明白殊言的,或不信的人进来,他们难道不会说你们都疯了吗? 24 但如果大家都做先知传道,有一个不信的或不明白的人进来,他就会因这一切而知罪、受到责问, 25 他心中隐秘的事就会显露出来。这样,他就会把脸伏在地上敬拜神,承认说:“神真的是在你们中间!”
聚会的秩序
26 弟兄们,那么该怎么办呢?你们聚集的时候,各人或有诗歌,或有教导,或有启示,或有殊言,或有翻译出来的话语——一切都要为了造就人。 27 如果有人说殊言,就应该只有两个人,或最多三个人,而且要轮流说,也要有一个人翻译。 28 如果没有翻译的人,他就应当在教会里保持沉默,只对自己和神说话。 29 做先知传道的[i]也应该两个人或三个人讲,其他的人应当分辨。 30 如果在坐的人中另有人得了启示,那先讲的就应当保持沉默。 31 因为你们都可以一个一个地做先知传道,好让大家都能学,都得到鼓励。 32 先知的灵是服从先知的, 33 因为神不是混乱的神,而是和平的神。
正如在圣徒的各教会那样, 34 妇女在教会应当保持沉默,因为她们没有获准讲话;就像律法上所说的那样,她们要服从。 35 如果她们想请教什么,就应该在家里问自己的丈夫,因为妇女在教会里讲话是可耻的。 36 难道神的话语[j]是从你们出来的吗?难道只是临到你们吗?
37 如果有人自以为是做先知传道的[k],或是属灵的,就应该承认:我写给你们的是主的命令; 38 但如果有人不承认,他也不会被承认。[l] 39 所以,我的弟兄们,你们要渴慕做先知传道,也不要禁止说殊言。 40 然而,一切事都要行得端正,并且要按着秩序行。

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues
14 Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts and especially that you may prophesy.(A) 2 For those who speak in a tongue do not speak to other people but to God, for no one understands them, since they are speaking mysteries in the Spirit.(B) 3 But those who prophesy speak to other people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.(C) 4 Those who speak in a tongue build up themselves, but those who prophesy build up the church. 5 Now I would like all of you to speak in tongues but even more to prophesy. One who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.(D)
6 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you in some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?(E) 7 It is the same way with lifeless instruments that produce sound, such as the flute or the harp. If they do not give distinct notes, how will what is being played on the flute or harp be recognized? 8 And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?(F) 9 So with yourselves: If in a tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air.(G) 10 There are doubtless many different kinds of sounds in the world, and nothing is without sound. 11 If then I do not know the meaning of a sound, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.(H) 12 So with yourselves: since you are striving after spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them for building up the church.
13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unproductive. 15 What should I do then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also; I will sing praise with the spirit, but I will sing praise with the mind also.(I) 16 Otherwise, if you say a blessing with the spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say the “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since the outsider does not know what you are saying?(J) 17 For you may give thanks well enough, but the other person is not built up.(K) 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you; 19 nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind, in order to instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; rather, be infants in evil, but in thinking be adults.(L) 21 In the law it is written,
“By people of strange tongues
and by the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
yet even then they will not listen to me,”
says the Lord.(M) 22 Tongues, then, are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the entire church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your mind?(N) 24 But if all prophesy, an unbeliever or outsider who enters is reproved by all and called to account by all. 25 After the secrets of the unbeliever’s heart are disclosed, that person will bow down before God and worship, declaring, “God is really among you.”
Orderly Worship
26 What should be done then, my brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.(O) 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three and each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let them be silent in church and speak to themselves and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. 30 If someone sitting receives a revelation, let the first person be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged 32 (and the spirits of prophets are subject to the prophets, 33 for God is a God not of disorder but of peace), as in all the churches of the saints.
34 Women should be silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak but should be subordinate, as the law also says.(P) 35 If there is something they want to learn, let them ask their husbands at home.[a] For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.[b] 36 Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
37 Anyone who claims to be a prophet or spiritual must acknowledge that what I am writing to you is a command[c] of the Lord.(Q) 38 Anyone who does not recognize this is not to be recognized. 39 So, my brothers and sisters, strive to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues,(R) 40 but all things should be done decently and in order.
1 Corinto 14
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Pagsulti sa Pinulongan nga Wala Matun-i
14 Busa paningkamoti gayod ninyo nga maghigugma, apan paninguhaa usab ninyo nga mahatagan kamo ug mga hiyas nga gikan sa Espiritu Santo, labi na gayod ang pagsugilon sa mensahe sa Dios. 2 Ang tawo nga nagasulti sa pinulongan nga wala niya matun-i wala nagasulti ngadto sa mga tawo kondili ngadto sa Dios, tungod kay ang mga tawo dili makasabot kaniya. Ang Espiritu Santo mao ang nagapasulti kaniya, ug ginasulti niya ang mga butang nga wala masayri sa uban. 3 Apan ang nagasugilon sa pulong sa Dios nagasulti sa mga tawo aron sa pagtabang, pagdasig, ug paglipay kanila. 4 Ang tawo nga nagasulti sa pinulongan nga wala niya matun-i nagpalig-on sa iyang kaugalingon, apan ang nagasugilon sa pulong sa Dios nagpalig-on sa mga tumutuo. 5 Gusto ko unta nga kamong tanan makasulti sa pinulongan nga wala ninyo matun-i, apan mas maayo gayod kon makasugilon kamo sa pulong sa Dios. Tungod kay ang tawo nga nagasugilon sa pulong sa Dios mas mahinungdanon pa kaysa tawo nga nagasulti sa pinulongan nga wala niya matun-i, gawas lang kon mapasabot usab niya ang kahulogan sa iyang gipanulti aron mapalig-on ang mga tumutuo. 6 Unsa kaha ang inyong makuha, mga igsoon ko, kon moanha ako diha kaninyo ug mosulti sa pinulongan nga dili ninyo masabtan? Siyempre wala gayod! Kinahanglan may mensahe ako kaninyo nga gikan sa Dios, o may itambag ako nga kamatuoran, o may ibalita ako nga pulong sa Dios, o may itudlo ako.
7 Bisan ang mga instrumento nga walay kinabuhi sama sa plawta o gitara, kon ang pagpatingog sa mga nota dili klaro, unsaon pagkahibalo sa naminaw kon unsa ang kanta nga gitukar? 8 Ug bisan ang pagpatingog sa trumpeta ngadto sa mga sundalo, kon dili maklaro ang tingog walay mangandam alang sa gira. 9 Mao usab kini kaninyo, unsaon pagkasabot sa naminaw kanimo kon magsulti ka sa pinulongan nga dili masabtan? Sama lang nga nagasulti ka sa hangin. 10 Daghan ang mga pinulongan dinhi sa kalibotan ug ang matag usa adunay kahulogan. 11 Apan kon dili ko masabtan ang gipanulti sa usa ka tawo ug dili usab ako niya masabtan, wala kamiy makuha sa usag usa. 12 Busa, tungod kay naninguha kamo nga makadawat sa mga hiyas nga gikan sa Espiritu Santo, paningkamoti ninyo nga madawat ang mga hiyas nga makapalig-on sa mga tumutuo.
13 Busa ang tawo nga nagasulti sa pinulongan nga wala niya matun-i kinahanglan mag-ampo nga hatagan usab siya ug hiyas nga makapasabot kon unsa ang kahulogan sa iyang gipanulti. 14 Kay kon mag-ampo ako sa pinulongan nga wala ko matun-i, bisan tinuod ug nagaampo ang akong espiritu, ang akong hunahuna dili makasabot niini. 15 Busa unsa ang angay kong buhaton? Mag-ampo ug mag-awit ako sa akong espiritu bisan dili ko kini masabtan, apan mag-ampo ug mag-awit usab ako nga masabtan sa akong hunahuna. 16 Kon magpasalamat ka sa Dios sa imong espiritu lang, ug dili kini masabtan, unsaon pag-ingon sa uban “Amen” kon wala man gani sila makasabot kon unsa ang imong gipanulti? 17 Bisan maayo ang imong pagpasalamat sa Dios, apan kon ang uban dili makasabot, dili ka makatabang kanila.
18 Nagapasalamat ako sa Dios nga makasulti ako sa mga pinulongan nga wala matun-i labaw kay kaninyo. 19 Apan sa mga panagtigom sa mga tumutuo mas maayo pa nga magsulti ako ug lima lang ka pulong nga masabtan aron matudloan ko sila, kaysa magsulti ako sa linibo ka mga pulong sa pinulongan nga dili masabtan.
20 Mga igsoon, kon mahitungod niining mga butanga, dili ko gusto nga sama kamo sa bata kon maghunahuna. Pagpakasama kamo kainosente sa bata kon daotan maoy hisgotan. Apan kon sa paggamit sa inyong panghunahuna, pagpakahingkod kamo. 21 Nahisulat sa Kasugoan nga ang Ginoo nagaingon:
“Mosulti ako niining mga tawhana pinaagi sa nagkalain-lain nga mga pinulongan ug pinaagi sa mga taga-laing dapit,
apan dili gayod sila maminaw kanako.”[a]
22 Busa ang pagsulti sa pinulongan nga wala matun-i dili timailhan alang sa mga tumutuo kondili alang sa mga dili tumutuo. Apan ang pagsugilon sa pulong sa Dios timailhan alang sa mga tumutuo, ug dili alang sa mga dili tumutuo.
23 Busa kon magtigom kamong mga tumutuo ug tanan kamo magsulti sa mga pinulongan nga wala ninyo matun-i, ug adunay mga nanambong nga dili tumutuo nga wala masayod kon unsay inyong gipangbuhat, dili kaha sila makaingon nga nangabuang kamo? 24 Apan kon tanan kamo magsugilon sa pulong sa Dios ug adunay motambong nga dili tumutuo nga wala masayod kon unsa ang inyong gipangbuhat, moila siya sa iyang kaugalingon nga usa ka makasasala ug masayod siya sa tinuod niya nga kahimtang. 25 Madayag ang mga sekreto nga iyang gihunahuna. Unya moluhod siya nga maghinulsol ug mosimba sa Dios. Ug moingon siya nga tinuod gayod nga ang Dios anaa kaninyo.
Ang Bahin sa Pagsimba
26 Busa, mga igsoon, mao kini ang angay ninyong buhaton kon magtigom kamo: ang uban mag-awit, ang uban magtudlo, ang uban magsugilon sa mensahe sa Dios, ang uban magsultig pinulongan nga wala niya matun-i, ug ang uban magpasabot sa kahulogan niini. Buhata ninyo kining tanan alang sa pagpalig-on sa mga tumutuo. 27 Kon adunay mosultig pinulongan nga wala niya matun-i, kinahanglan duha o tulo lang ang mosulti, apan dili magdungan, ug kinahanglan adunay magpasabot kon unsa ang kahulogan sa ilang gipanulti. 28 Apan kon wala gayoy makapasabot, kinahanglan maghilom sila ug magsulti na lang sa ilang kaugalingon ug sa Dios. 29 Kon aduna kaninyoy may hiyas sa pagsugilon sa pulong sa Dios, tugoti ninyo nga mosulti ang duha o tulo. Ug ang uban maminaw ug magtimbang-timbang kon husto ba o dili ang ilang gipanulti. 30 Kon diha sa mga naminaw adunay gihatagan sa Dios ug mensahe, kinahanglan mohilom ang nagasulti aron makasulti usab siya. 31 Sa ingon niini nga pamaagi, tanan kamong tigsugilon sa pulong sa Dios makapuli-puli ug sulti, aron ang tanan makakat-on ug madasig. 32 Ang tigsugilon sa pulong sa Dios makapugong sa iyang kaugalingon. 33 Kay ang Dios wala nagahatag ug kasamok kondili kalinaw.
Kon mahitungod sa mga babaye, sunda ninyo ang mga tumutuo sa tanang lugar; 34 nga kon magtigom kamo, ang mga babaye kinahanglan maghilom tungod kay wala sila tugoti sa pagsulti. Kinahanglan magpasakop sila sa mga lalaki sumala sa gi-ingon sa Kasugoan. 35 Kon ang babaye adunay pangutana, didto na siya sa ilang balay mangutana sa iyang bana, tungod kay makauulaw nga ang babaye magsulti diha sa panagtigom sa mga tumutuo.
36 Unsa, naghuna-huna ba kamo nga ang Maayong Balita naggikan kaninyo? O kamo lang ang nakadawat niini? 37 Kon aduna kaninyoy naghuna-huna nga siya tigsugilon sa pulong sa Dios o gitultolan siya sa Espiritu Santo, kinahanglan ilhon niya nga ang akong mga gisulat kaninyo sugo gayod sa Ginoo. 38 Ug kon adunay dili motagad niining akong gisulti, ayaw usab siya tagda.
39 Busa mga igsoon ko kang Cristo, paninguhaa gayod ninyo nga makasugilon sa pulong sa Dios, ug ayaw ninyo pugngi ang pagsulti sa mga pinulongan nga wala matun-i. 40 Apan buhata ninyo ang tanan sa husto ug maayo nga pamaagi.

New International Version
Intelligibility in Worship
14 Follow the way of love(A) and eagerly desire(B) gifts of the Spirit,(C) especially prophecy.(D) 2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue[a](E) does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them;(F) they utter mysteries(G) by the Spirit. 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening,(H) encouraging(I) and comfort. 4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue(J) edifies(K) themselves, but the one who prophesies(L) edifies the church. 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[b] but I would rather have you prophesy.(M) The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[c] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.(N)
6 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation(O) or knowledge(P) or prophecy or word of instruction?(Q) 7 Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? 8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?(R) 9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. 10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. 11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.(S) 12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit,(T) try to excel in those that build up(U) the church.
13 For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.(V) 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays,(W) but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit,(X) but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing(Y) with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. 16 Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,[d] say “Amen”(Z) to your thanksgiving,(AA) since they do not know what you are saying? 17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.(AB)
18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.(AC)
20 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children.(AD) In regard to evil be infants,(AE) but in your thinking be adults. 21 In the Law(AF) it is written:
“With other tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,(AG)
says the Lord.”[e]
22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy,(AH) however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?(AI) 24 But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, 25 as the secrets(AJ) of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”(AK)
Good Order in Worship
26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters?(AL) When you come together, each of you(AM) has a hymn,(AN) or a word of instruction,(AO) a revelation, a tongue(AP) or an interpretation.(AQ) Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.(AR) 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.
29 Two or three prophets(AS) should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.(AT) 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.(AU) 33 For God is not a God of disorder(AV) but of peace(AW)—as in all the congregations(AX) of the Lord’s people.(AY)
34 Women[f] should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak,(AZ) but must be in submission,(BA) as the law(BB) says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.[g]
36 Or did the word of God(BC) originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet(BD) or otherwise gifted by the Spirit,(BE) let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.(BF) 38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.[h]
39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager(BG) to prophesy,(BH) and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly(BI) way.
