1 Corinthians, 14

1. Pursue charity. Be zealous for spiritual things, but only so that you may prophesy.

1. Težite za ljubavlju, èeznite za darima Duha, a najveæma da prorokujete.

2. For whoever speaks in tongues, speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands. Yet by the Spirit, he speaks mysteries.

2. Jer tko govori drugim jezikom, ne govori ljudima nego Bogu: nitko ga ne razumije jer Duhom govori stvari tajanstvene.

3. But whoever prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.

3. Tko pak prorokuje, ljudima govori: izgraðuje, hrabri, tješi.

4. Whoever speaks in tongues edifies himself. But whoever prophesies edifies the Church.

4. Tko govori drugim jezikom, sam sebe izgraðuje, a tko prorokuje, Crkvu izgraðuje.

5. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but more so to prophesy. For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless perhaps he interprets, so that the Church may receive edification.

5. A htio bih da vi svi govorite drugim jezicima, ali veæma da prorokujete. Jer veæi je tko prorokuje, negoli tko govori drugim jezicima, osim ako protumaèi Crkvi radi izgraðivanja.

6. But now, brothers, if I were to come to you speaking in tongues, how would it benefit you, unless instead I speak to you in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?

6. A sada, braæo, kad bih došao k vama govoreæi drugim jezicima, što bi vam koristilo kad vam ne bih priopæio bilo otkrivenje, bilo spoznanje, bilo proroštvo, bilo nauk?

7. Even those things that are without a soul can make sounds, whether it is a wind or a stringed instrument. But unless they present a distinction within the sounds, how will it be known which is from the pipe and which is from the string?

7. Ako neživa glazbala, svirala ili citra, ne daju razgovijetna glasa, kako æe se razabrati što se to izvodi na svirali ili citri?

8. For example, if the trumpet made an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for battle?

8. Ili ako trublja daje nejasan glas, tko æe se spremiti na boj?

9. So it is with you also, for unless you utter with the tongue in plain speech, how will it be known what is said? For then you would be speaking into the air.

9. Tako i vi, ako jezikom ne budete jasno zborili, kako æe se razabrati što se govori? Govorit æete u vjetar.

10. Consider that there are so many different kinds of languages in this world, and yet none is without a voice.

10. Toliko, recimo, ima na svijetu vrsta glasova i - nijedan bez znaèenja.

11. Therefore, if I do not understand the nature of the voice, then I shall be like a foreigner to the one with whom I am speaking; and he who is speaking will be like a foreigner to me.

11. Ako dakle ne znam znaèenja glasa, bit æu sugovorniku tuðinac, a sugovornik tuðinac meni.

12. So it is with you also. And since you are zealous for what is spiritual, seek the edification of the Church, so that you may abound.

12. Tako i vi, buduæi da èeznete za darima Duha, nastojte njima obilovati radi izgraðivanja Crkve.

13. For this reason, too, whoever speaks in tongues, let him pray for the interpretation.

13. Stoga tko govori drugim jezikom, neka se moli da može protumaèiti.

14. So, if I pray in tongues, my spirit prays, but my mind is without fruit.

14. Jer ako se drugim jezikom molim, moj se duh moli, ali um je moj neplodan.

15. What is next? I should pray with the spirit, and also pray with the mind. I should sing psalms with the spirit, and also recite psalms with the mind.

15. Što dakle? Molit æu se duhom, molit æu se i umom; pjevat æu hvalospjeve duhom, ali pjevat æu ih i umom.

16. Otherwise, if you have blessed only with the spirit, how can someone, in a state of ignorance, add an “Amen” to your blessing? For he does not know what you are saying.

16. Jer ako Boga blagoslivljaš duhom, kako æe neupuæen reæi "Amen" na tvoju zahvalnicu? Ne zna što govoriš.

17. In this case, certainly, you give thanks well, but the other person is not edified.

17. Ti doduše lijepo zahvaljuješ, ali se drugi ne izgraðuje.

18. I thank my God that I speak in tongues for all of you.

18. Hvala Bogu, ja govorim drugim jezicima veæma nego svi vi.

19. But in the Church, I prefer to speak five words from my mind, so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in tongues.

19. Ali draže mi je u Crkvi reæi pet rijeèi po svojoj pameti, da i druge pouèim, negoli deset tisuæa rijeèi drugim jezikom.

20. Brothers, do not choose to have the minds of children. Instead, be free of malice like infants, but be mature in your minds.

20. Braæo, ne budite djeca pameæu, nego nejaèad pakošæu, a zreli pameæu!

21. It is written in the law: “I will speak to this people with other tongues and other lips, and even so, they will not heed me, says the Lord.”

21. U Zakonu je pisano: Drugim jezicima i drugim usnama govorit æu ovomu narodu pa me ni tako neæe poslušati, govori Gospodin.

22. And so, tongues are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers; and prophecies are not for unbelievers, but for believers.

22. Tako drugi jezici nisu znak vjernicima, nego nevjernicima; a prorokovanje vjernicima, ne nevjernicima.

23. If then, the entire Church were to gather together as one, and if all were to speak in tongues, and then ignorant or unbelieving persons were to enter, would they not say that you were insane?

23. Ako se dakle skupi sva Crkva zajedno i svi govore drugim jezicima, a uðu neupuæeni ili nevjernici, neæe li reæi da mahnitate?

24. But if everyone prophesies, and one who is ignorant or unbelieving enters, he may be convinced by it all, because he understands it all.

24. Ako pak svi prorokuju, a uðe koji nevjernik ili neupuæen, sve ga prekorava, sve ga osuðuje.

25. The secrets of his heart are then made manifest. And so, falling to his face, he would adore God, proclaiming that God is truly among you.

25. Tajne se njegova srca oèituju te æe pasti nièice i pokloniti se Bogu priznajuæi: Zaista, Bog je u vama.

26. What is next, brothers? When you gather together, each one of you may have a psalm, or a doctrine, or a revelation, or a language, or an interpretation, but let everything be done for edification.

26. Što dakle braæo? Kad se skupite te poneki ima hvalospjev, poneki ima nauk, ima otkrivenje, ima jezik, ima tumaèenje - sve neka bude radi izgraðivanja.

27. If anyone is speaking in tongues, let there be only two, or at most three, and then in turn, and let someone interpret.

27. Ako tko govori drugim jezikom - dvojica, najviše trojica, i to jedan za drugim - jedan neka tumaèi;

28. But if there is no one to interpret, he should remain silent in the church, then he may speak when he is alone with God.

28. ako pak ne bi bilo tumaèa, neka šuti u Crkvi, neka govori sam sebi i Bogu.

29. And let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

29. Od proroka pak neka govore dvojica ili trojica, drugi neka rasuðuju.

30. But then, if something is revealed to another who is sitting, let the first one become silent.

30. Ali ako drugomu uza nj bude što objavljeno, prvi neka šuti.

31. For you are all able to prophesy one at a time, so that all may learn and all may be encouraged.

31. A možete jedan po jedan svi prorokovati da svi budu pouèeni i svi ohrabreni.

32. For the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

32. Proroèki su duhovi prorocima podložni

33. And God is not of dissension, but of peace, just as I also teach in all the churches of the saints.

33. jer Bog nije Bog nesklada, nego Bog mira. Kao u svim Crkvama svetih, žene na Sastancima neka šute.

34. Women should be silent in the churches. For it is not permitted for them to speak; but instead, they should be subordinate, as the law also says.

34. Nije im dopušteno govoriti, nego neka budu podložne, kako i Zakon govori.

35. And if they want to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

35. Žele li što saznati, neka kod kuæe pitaju svoje muževe jer ružno je da žena govori na Sastanku.

36. So now, did the Word of God proceed from you? Or was it sent to you alone?

36. Ili zar je rijeè Božja od vas proizašla, zar je samo k vama došla?

37. If anyone seems to be a prophet or a spiritual person, he should understand these things which I am writing to you, that these things are the commandments of the Lord.

37. Smatra li tko da je prorok ili duhom obdaren, neka zna: što vam pišem, Gospodnja je zapovijed.

38. If anyone does not recognize these things, he should not be recognized.

38. Tko to ne prizna, ne priznaje se.

39. And so, brothers, be zealous to prophesy, and do not prohibit speaking in tongues.

39. Zato, braæo moja, težite prorokovati i ne prijeèite da se govori drugim jezicima!

40. But let everything be done respectfully and according to proper order.

40. A sve neka bude dostojno i uredno.
