1.Korinther 14 | الكتاب المقدس

موهبتا النبوة واللغات

1 اسْعَوْا وَرَاءَ الْمَحَبَّةِ، وَتَشَوَّقُوا إِلَى الْمَوَاهِبِ الرُّوحِيَّةِ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى مَوْهِبَةِ التَّنَبُّؤِ.

2 ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِلُغَةٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ يُخَاطِبُ لَا النَّاسَ بَلِ اللهَ. إِذْ لَا أَحَدَ يَفْهَمُهُ، وَلكِنَّهُ بِالرُّوحِ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِأَلْغَازٍ.

3 أَمَّا الَّذِي يَتَنَبَّأُ، فَهُوَ يُخَاطِبُ النَّاسَ بِكَلامِ الْبُنْيَانِ وَالتَّشْجِيعِ وَالتَّعْزِيَةِ.

4 فَالَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِلُغَةٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ يَبْنِي نَفْسَهُ؛ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي يَتَنَبَّأُ، فَيَبْنِي الْكَنِيسَةَ.

5 إِنِّي أَرْغَبُ فِي أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمُوا جَمِيعاً بِلُغَاتٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ بِالأَحْرَى أَنْ تَتَنَبَّأُوا. فَإِنَّ مَنْ يَتَنَبَّأُ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِاللُّغَاتِ إِلّا إِذَا تَرْجَمَ (مَا يَقُولُهُ) لِتَنَالَ الْكَنِيسَةُ بُنْيَاناً.

6 وَالآنَ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، افْرِضُوا أَنِّي جِئْتُكُمْ مُتَكَلِّماً بِلُغَاتٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ، فَأَيَّةَ مَنْفَعَةٍ تَنَالُونَ مِنِّي، إِلّا إِذَا كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِإِعْلانٍ أَوْ عِلْمٍ أَوْ نُبُوءَةٍ أَوْ تَعْلِيمٍ؟

7 فَحَتَّى الآلاتُ الْمُصَوِّتَةُ الَّتِي لَا حَيَاةَ فِيهَا، كَالْمِزْمَارِ وَالْقِيثَارَةِ، إِنْ كَانَتْ لَا تُعْطِي أَنْغَاماً مُمَيَّزَةً، فَكَيْفَ يَعْرِفُ السَّامِعُ أَيَّ لَحْنٍ يُؤَدِّيهِ الْمِزْمَارُ أَوِ الْقِيثَارَةُ؟

8 وَإِنْ كَانَ بُوقُ الْحَرْبِ أَيْضاً يُطْلِقُ صَوْتاً غَيْرَ وَاضِحٍ، فَمَنْ يَسْتَعِدُّ لِلْقِتَالِ؟

9 فَهَذِهِ حَالُكُمْ أَيْضاً فِي التَّكَلُّمِ بِلُغَةٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُونَ بِكَلامٍ مُمَيَّزٍ، فَكَيْفَ يَفْهَمُ السَّامِعُونَ مَا تَقُولُونَ؟ فَإِنَّكُمْ تَكُونُونَ كَمَنْ يُخَاطِبُ الْهَوَاءَ!

10 قَدْ يَكُونُ فِي الْعَالَمِ عَدَدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ اللُّغَاتِ، وَلا تَقْتَصِرُ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهَا عَلَى أَصْوَاتٍ بِلا مَعْنىً.

11 فَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَفْهَمُ مَعْنَى الأَصْوَاتِ فِي لُغَةٍ مَا، أَكُونُ أَجْنَبِيًّا عِنْدَ النَّاطِقِ بِها، وَيَكُونُ هُوَ أَجْنَبِيًّا عِنْدِي!

12 وَهكَذَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً، إِذْ إِنَّكُمْ مُتَشَوِّقُونَ إِلَى الْمَوَاهِبِ الرُّوحِيَّةِ، اسْعَوْا فِي طَلَبِ الْمَزِيدِ مِنْهَا لأَجْلِ بُنْيَانِ الْكَنِيسَةِ.

13 لِذلِكَ يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمُتَكَلِّمِ بِلُغَةٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ أَنْ يَطْلُبَ مِنَ اللهِ مَوْهِبَةَ التَّرْجَمَةِ.

14 فَإِنِّي إِنْ صَلَّيْتُ بِلُغَةٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ، فَرُوحِي تُصَلِّي، وَلَكِنَّ عَقْلِي عَدِيمُ الثَّمَرِ.

15 فَمَا الْعَمَلُ إِذَنْ؟ سَأُصَلِّي بِالرُّوحِ، وَلكِنْ سَأُصَلِّي بِالْعَقْلِ أَيْضاً. سَأُرَنِّمُ بِالرُّوحِ، وَلكِنْ سَأُرَنِّمُ بِالْعَقْلِ أَيْضاً.

16 وَإلَّا، فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَحْمَدُ اللهَ بِالرُّوحِ فَقَطْ، فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيعُ قَلِيلُ الْخِبْرَةِ أَنْ يَقُولَ: «آمِينَ» لَدَى تَقْدِيمِكَ الشُّكْرَ مَادَامَ لَا يَفْهَمُ مَا تَقُولُ؟

17 طَبْعاً، أَنْتَ تُقَدِّمُ الشُّكْرَ بِطَرِيقَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ، وَلَكِنَّ غَيْرَكَ لَا يُبْنَى.

18 أَشْكُرُ اللهَ لأَنِّي أَتَكَلَّمُ بِلُغَاتٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْكُمْ جَمِيعاً.

19 وَلكِنْ، حَيْثُ أَكُونُ فِي الْكَنِيسَةِ، أُفَضِّلُ أَنْ أَقُولَ خَمْسَ كَلِمَاتٍ مَفْهُومَةٍ، لِكَيْ أُعَلِّمَ بِها الآخَرِينَ أَيْضاً، عَلَى أَنْ أَقُولَ عَشَرَةَ آلافِ كَلِمَةٍ بِلُغَةٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ.

20 أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، لَا تَكُونُوا أَوْلاداً فِي التَّفْكِيرِ، بَلْ كُونُوا أَطْفَالاً فِي الشَّرِّ. وَأَمَّا فِي التَّفْكِيرِ، فَكُونُوا رَاشِدِينَ.

21 فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ: «بِأُنَاسٍ ذَوِي لُغَاتٍ أُخْرَى، وَبِشِفَاهٍ غَرِيبَةٍ، سَأُكَلِّمُ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ؛ وَلكِنْ، حَتَّى هكَذَا، لَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

22 إِذَنِ التَّكَلُّمُ بِلُغَاتٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ هُوَ عَلامَةٌ لَا لأَجْلِ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ، بَلْ لأَجْلِ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. وَأَمَّا التَّنَبُّؤُ، فَلَيْسَ لِغَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، بَلْ لِلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ.

23 فَإِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْكَنِيسَةُ كُلُّهَا مَعاً، وَأَخَذَ الْجَمِيعُ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِلُغَاتٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بَعْضُ قَلِيلِي الْخِبْرَةِ أَوْ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَفَلا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّكُمْ مَجَانِينَ؟

24 وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كَانَ الْجَمِيعُ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَوْ قَلِيلِي الْخِبْرَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَقْتَنِعُ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ، وَيُحْكَمُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْجَمِيعِ،

25 وَإِذْ تَنْكَشِفُ خَبَايَا قَلْبِهِ، يَخِرُّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ سَاجِداً لِلهِ، مُعْتَرِفاً بِأَنَّ اللهَ فِيكُمْ حَقّاً.

النظام في العبادة

26 فَمَا الْعَمَلُ إِذَنْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ؟ كُلَّمَا تَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً، سَيَكُونُ لِكُلٍّ مِنْكُمْ مَزْمُورٌ، أَوْ تَعْلِيمٌ، أَوْ كَلامٌ بِلُغَةٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ، أَوْ إِعْلانٌ، أَوْ تَرْجَمَةٌ. فَلْيَتِمْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ بِهَدَفِ الْبُنْيَانِ.

27 فَإِذَا صَارَ تَكَلُّمٌ بِلُغَةٍ، فَلْيَتَكَلَّمِ اثْنَانِ، أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ عَلَى الأَكْثَرِ، كُلٌّ فِي دَوْرِهِ،

28 وَلْيُتَرْجِمْ أَحَدُكُمْ. فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَكُمْ مُتَرْجِمٌ، فَعَلَى الْمُتَكَلِّمِ أَلّا يَقُولَ شَيْئاً أَمَامَ الْجَمَاعَةِ، بَلْ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ سِرّاً مَعَ نَفْسِهِ وَمَعَ اللهِ.

29 وَلْيَتَكَلَّمْ أَيْضاً اثْنَانِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٌ مِنَ الْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ وَلْيَحْكُمِ الآخَرُونَ.

30 وَإِنْ أُوحِيَ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْجَالِسِينَ، فَلْيَسْكُتِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ الأَوَّلُ.

31 فَإِنَّكُمْ جَمِيعاً تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَتَنَبَّأُوا وَاحِداً فَوَاحِداً، حَتَّى يَتَعَلَّمَ الْجَمِيعُ وَيَتَشَجَّعَ الْجَمِيعُ.

32 وَلَكِنَّ مَوَاهِبَ النُّبُوءَةِ هِيَ خَاضِعَةٌ لأَصْحَابِهَا.

33 فَلَيْسَ اللهُ إِلهَ فَوْضَى بَلْ إِلهُ سَلامٍ، كَمَا هِيَ الْحَالُ فِي كَنَائِسِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ كُلِّهَا،

34 لِتَصْمُتْ النِّسَاءُ فِي الْكَنَائِسِ، فَلَيْسَ مَسْمُوحاً لَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمْنَ، بَلْ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَاضِعَاتٍ، عَلَى حَدِّ ما تُوصِي بِهِ الشَّرِيعَةُ أَيْضاً.

35 وَلَكِنْ، إِذَا رَغِبْنَ فِي تَعَلُّمِ شَيْءٍ مَا، فَلْيَسْأَلْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ فِي الْبَيْتِ، لأَنَّهُ عَارٌ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ.

36 أَمِنْ عِنْدِكُمُ انْطَلَقَتْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ، أَمْ إِلَيْكُمْ وَحْدَكُمْ وَصَلَتْ؟

37 فَإِنِ اعْتَبَرَ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ نَبِيًّا أَوْ صَاحِبَ مَوْهِبَةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ، فَلْيُدْرِكْ أَنَّ مَا أَكْتُبُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ وَصِيَّةُ الرَّبِّ.

38 وَإِنْ جَهِلَ أَحَدٌ هَذَا، فَسَيَبْقَى جَاهِلاً!

39 إِذَنْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، تَشَوَّقُوا إِلَى التَّنَبُّوءِ، وَلا تَمْنَعُوا التَّكَلُّمَ بِلُغَاتٍ مَجْهُولَةٍ.

40 وَإِنَّمَا، لِيَتِمَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ بِلِيَاقَةٍ وَتَرْتِيبٍ.

New International Version

Intelligibility in worship

1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.

2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue* does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no-one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.

3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.

4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,* but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,* unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.

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 or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?

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?

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.

12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.

13 For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.

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

15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing 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 enquirer,* say ‘Amen’ to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying?

17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no-one else is edified.

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.

20 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.

21 In the Law 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, says the Lord.’

22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.

23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and enquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

24 But if an unbeliever or an enquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all,

25 as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, ‘God is really among you!’

Good order in worship

26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.

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 should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

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.

33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace – as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.

34 Women* should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

35 If they want to enquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.*

36 Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?

37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.

38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.*

39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
