1 Corintios 14

Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

SEGUID la caridad; y procurad los dones espirituales, mas sobre todo que profeticéis.

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

for he who is speaking in an †unknown tongue — to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

Porque el que habla en lenguas, no habla á los hombres, sino á Dios; porque nadie le entiende, aunque en espíritu hable misterios.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

Mas el que profetiza, habla á los hombres para edificación, y exhortación, y consolación.

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

he who is speaking in an †unknown tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

El que habla lengua extraña, á sí mismo se edifica; mas el que profetiza, edifica á la iglesia.

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

Así que, quisiera que todos vosotros hablaseis lenguas, empero más que profetizaseis: porque mayor es el que profetiza que el que habla lenguas, si también no interpretare, para que la iglesia tome edificación.

I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

And now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching?

Ahora pues, hermanos, si yo fuere á vosotros hablando lenguas, ¿qué os aprovecharé, si no os hablare, ó con revelación, ó con ciencia, ó con profecía, ó con doctrina?

Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

yet the things without life giving sound — whether pipe or harp — if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped?

Ciertamente las cosas inanimadas que hacen sonidos, como la flauta ó la vihuela, si no dieren distinción de voces, ¿cómo se sabrá lo que se tañe con la flauta, ó con la vihuela?

And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle?

Y si la trompeta diere sonido incierto, ¿quién se apercibirá á la batalla?

For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?

so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give — how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.

Así también vosotros, si por la lengua no diereis palabra bien significante, ¿cómo se entenderá lo que se dice? porque hablaréis al aire.

So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

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

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,

Tantos géneros de voces, por ejemplo, hay en el mundo, y nada hay mudo;

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

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

if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;

Mas si yo ignorare el valor de la voz, seré bárbaro al que habla, y el que habla será bárbaro para mí.

Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;

Así también vosotros; pues que anheláis espirituales dones, procurad ser excelentes para la edificación de la iglesia.

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

wherefore he who is speaking in an †unknown tongue — let him pray that he may interpret;

Por lo cual, el que habla lengua extraña, pida que la interprete.

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

for if I pray in an †unknown tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful.

Porque si yo orare en lengua desconocida, mi espíritu ora; mas mi entendimiento es sin fruto.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding;

¿Qué pues? Oraré con el espíritu, mas oraré también con entendimiento; cantaré con el espíritu, mas cantaré también con entendimiento.

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

What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known?

Porque si bendijeres con el espíritu, el que ocupa lugar de un mero particular, ¿cómo dirá amén á tu acción de gracias? pues no sabe lo que has dicho.

Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?

for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up!

Porque tú, á la verdad, bien haces gracias; mas el otro no es edificado.

For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

I give thanks to my God — more than you all with tongues speaking —

Doy gracias á Dios que hablo lenguas más que todos vosotros:

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an †unknown tongue.

Pero en la iglesia más quiero hablar cinco palabras con mi sentido, para que enseñe también á los otros, que diez mil palabras en lengua desconocida.

Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect;

Hermanos, no seáis niños en el sentido, sino sed niños en la malicia: empero perfectos en el sentido.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

in the law it hath been written, that, 'With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;'

En la ley está escrito: En otras lenguas y en otros labios hablaré á este pueblo; y ni aun así me oirán, dice el Señor.

In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”

so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy †is not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,

Así que, las lenguas por señal son, no á los fieles, sino á los infieles: mas la profecía, no á los infieles, sino á los fieles.

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

De manera que, si toda la iglesia se juntare en uno, y todos hablan lenguas, y entran indoctos ó infieles, ¿no dirán que estáis locos?

If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?

and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,

Mas si todos profetizan, y entra algún infiel ó indocto, de todos es convencido, de todos es juzgado;

But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon †his face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.

Lo oculto de su corazón se hace manifiesto: y así, postrándose sobre el rostro, adorará á Dios, declarando que verdaderamente Dios está en vosotros.

And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;

¿Qué hay pues, hermanos? Cuando os juntáis, cada uno de vosotros tiene salmo, tiene doctrina, tiene lengua, tiene revelación, tiene interpretación: hágase todo para edificación.

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

if an †unknown tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;

Si hablare alguno en lengua extraña, sea esto por dos, ó á lo más tres, y por turno; mas uno interprete.

If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.

Y si no hubiere intérprete, calle en la iglesia, y hable á sí mismo y á Dios.

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

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

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

Asimismo, los profetas hablen dos ó tres, y los demás juzguen.

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

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

and if to another sitting †anything may be revealed, let the first be silent;

Y si á otro que estuviere sentado, fuere revelado, calle el primero.

If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted,

Porque podéis todos profetizar uno por uno, para que todos aprendan, y todos sean exhortados.

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

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

and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject,

Y los espíritus de los que profetizaren, sujétense á los profetas;

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

The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

for God is not †a God of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Porque Dios no es Dios de disensión, sino de paz; como en todas las iglesias de los santos.

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

for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;

Vuestras mujeres callen en las congregaciones; porque no les es permitido hablar, sino que estén sujetas, como también la ley dice.

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,

and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.

Y si quieren aprender alguna cosa, pregunten en casa á sus maridos; porque deshonesta cosa es hablar una mujer en la congregación.

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”

From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come?

Qué, ¿ha salido de vosotros la palabra de Dios? ¿ó á vosotros solos ha llegado?

What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you — that of the Lord they are commands;

Si alguno á su parecer, es profeta, ó espiritual, reconozca lo que os escribo, porque son mandamientos del Señor.

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

and if any one is ignorant — let him be ignorant;

Mas el que ignora, ignore.

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak with tongues do not forbid;

Así que, hermanos, procurad profetizar; y no impidáis el hablar lenguas.

Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.

let all things be done decently and in order.

Empero hágase todo decentemente y con orden.

Let all things be done decently and in order.

Let all things be done decently and in order.
