Yokuthoma YebeKorinte 14:1-40
14 Lwelani ukuba nethando, niragele phambili nifuna ngetjiseko izipho ezivela kuZimu kodwana khulukhulu isipho sokuphorofida.+
2 Loyo okhuluma ngelinye ilimi akakhulumi nabantu, ukhuluma noZimu ngombana ukhuluma ifihlo ecwengileko+ ngommoya kodwana akekho olaleleko.+
3 Nanyana kunjalo, loyo ophorofidako uyakha, akhuthaze begodu aduduze abantu ngalokho akutjhoko.
4 Loyo okhuluma ngelinye ilimi uzakha yena kodwana ophorofidako wakha ibandla.
5 Nje-ke ngingathanda bona noke nikhulume ngamanye amalimi+ kodwana nginyula bona niphorofide.+ Eqinisweni, ophorofidako mkhulu kunaloyo okhuluma ngamanye amalimi, ngaphandle kobana loyo okhuluma ngamanye amalimi atologe,* bona ibandla lakhiwe.
6 Kodwana njenganje bafowethu, nangingeza kini ngikhuluma ngamanye amalimi, ngibuphi ubuhle engizobenza ngaphandle kobana ngikhulume nani ngesambulo,+ ngelwazi,+ ngesiphorofido namkha ngefundiso na?
7 Kuyafana nangezinto ezingaphiliko ezenza itjhada, kungaba yifuludi namkha isidonodono. Ngaphandle kokuthi amatjhada wazo atjhidelane, kuzokwaziwa njani lokho okudlalwa ngefuludi namkha ngeharibha?
8 Ibhorompita nayenza itjhada elingazwakali kuhle, ngubani ozokulungela ukuya epini?
9 Ngokufanako, ngaphandle kobana nina enikhulumako nikhulume ngendlela ezwisiseka bulula, ngubani ozokuzwisisa lokho okutjhiwoko na? Eqinisweni nizabe nikhuluma emoyeni.
10 Kungaba kukuthi kunamalimi amanengi ahlukahlukeneko akhulunywako ephasini kodwana alikho nalinye elingazwisisekiko.
11 Ngombana nangingawuzwisisi umnqopho wokukhulunywako, ngizokuba mumuntu ovela kwenye inarha kiloyo okhulumako begodu loyo okhulumako uzokuba mumuntu ovela kwenye inarha kimi.
12 Nje-ke nani njengombana nifisa izipho zommoya, funani ngobunengi izipho ezizokwakha ibandla.+
13 Loyo okhuluma ngamalimi akathandazele bona atologe.*+
14 Ngombana nangabe ngithandaza ngamalimi, sisipho sami sommoya esithandazako kodwana angikuzwisisi engikutjhoko.
15 Nje-ke, kufuze kwenziweni? Ngizokuthandaza ngesipho sommoya, godu ngithandaze nangomkhumbulwami. Ngizokubhina ngidumise ngesipho sommoya, godu ngizokubhina ngidumise ngomkhumbulwami.
16 Ngaphandle kwalokho nawudumisa ngesipho sommoya, umuntu ojayelekileko ophakathi kwenu uzokutjho njani ukuthi “Amen” emthandazwenakho wokuthokoza, njengombana angakuzwa okutjhoko?
17 Kwamambala uthandaza kuZimu ngendlela efaneleko kodwana omunye umuntu akakheki.
18 Ngithokoza uZimu bona ngikhuluma ngamalimi amanengi ukunidlula noke.
19 Nanyana kunjalo, ebandleni ngingamane ngikhulume amezwi amahlanu ngokuzwisisa kwami ukuthi ngifundise abanye, kunokobana ngikhulume amezwi aziinkulungwana ezilitjhumi ngelinye ilimi.+
20 Bafowethu ningabi bantwana ekuzwisiseni kwenu+ kodwana yibani bantwana kokumbi,+ nikhule ngokupheleleko ekuzwisiseni kwenu.+
21 EmThethweni kutloliwe kwathiwa: “‘Ngamalimi wabantu abavela kwenye inarha nangemilomo yabangaziwako ngizokukhuluma nabantwaba, ngitjho nangesikhatheso bazokubhala ukungilalela,’ kutjho uJehova.”*+
22 Amalimi awasilitshwayo labakholwako kodwana ngelabangakholwako,+ kukulapho isiphorofido singasi ngesabangakholwako kodwana ngesabakholwako.
23 Nangabe loke ibandla lihlangana endaweni yinye, boke bathome ukukhuluma ngamanye amalimi, bese kungene abantu abajayelekileko namkha abangakholwako, angekhe bathi niyarhapha na?
24 Kodwana nangabe noke niyaphorofida begodu kungene umuntu ongakholwako namkha umuntu ovamileko, uzokusolwa aphenyisiswe ngibo boke.
25 Iimfihlo ezisehliziywenakhe zizokuba sepepeneneni, bona akhothame begodu alotjhe uZimu, athi: “Kwamambala uZimu uhlangana nani.”+
26 Nje-ke bafowethu, kufuze kwenziweni? Nanihlanganako, omunye unerhubo, omunye unefundiso, omunye unesambulo, omunye ukhuluma elinye ilimi, kuthi omunye atologe.+ Zoke izinto azenzeke ngomnqopho wokwakhana.
27 Nangabe kukhona okhuluma elinye ilimi, abakhulume babe babili namkha babe bathathu kwaphela, badlhegane, kuthi omunye atologe.+
28 Kodwana nangabe akekho umtoligi, kufuze athule ebandleni akakhulume noZimu ngehliziywenakhe.
29 Akukhulume abaphorofidi ababili namkha abathathu,+ abanye kufuze bazwisise lokho okutjhiwoko.
30 Nangabe omunye ufumana isambulo nakasahlezi lapho, isikhulumi sokuthoma asithule.
31 Ngombana noke ningaphorofida ngokudlhegana, ukuthi noke nifunde begodu noke nikhuthazeke.+
32 Izipho zommoya zabaphorofidi kufuze zilawulwe baphorofidi.
33 Ngombana uZimu akasinguZimu wehlangahlangano kodwana ngewokuthula.+
Njengakiwo woke amabandla wabacwengileko,
34 abafazi abathule emabandleni ngombana akukavumeleki ngabo bona bakhulume.+ Kunalokho, abazithobe+ njengombana nomThetho utjho njalo.
35 Nangabe bafuna ukufunda okuthileko, ababuze amadodabo ekhaya, ngombana kulihlazo ngomfazi bona akhulume ebandleni.
36 Kghani ilizwi lakaZimu lavela kini, namkha lifikelele nina kwaphela na?
37 Nangabe umuntu ucabanga ukuthi umphorofidi namkha unesiphiwo sommoya, kufuze amukele ukuthi izinto enginitlolela zona zimiyalo yeKosi.
38 Kodwana nangabe umuntu uyakuphika lokhu, naye uzokuphikwa.*
39 Nje-ke bafowethu, ragelani phambili nokulwela ukuphorofida+ kodwana ningakuvimbeli ukukhuluma ngamanye amalimi.+
40 Zoke izinto azenzeke ngokufaneleko nangokuhleleka.+
