Comparison
1 Corinthians 14
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy. | Sectamini caritatem, aemulamini spiritualia: magis autem ut prophetetis. |
| 2 | For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. | Qui enim loquitur lingua, non hominibus loquitur, sed Deo: nemo enim audit. Spiritu autem loquitur mysteria. |
| 3 | But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort. | Nam qui prophetat, hominibus loquitur ad aedificationem, et exhortationem, et consolationem. |
| 4 | He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. | Qui loquitur lingua, semetipsum aedificat: qui autem prophetat, ecclesiam Dei aedificat. |
| 5 | And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification. | Volo autem omnes vos loqui linguis: magis autem prophetare. Nam maior est qui prophetat, quam qui loquitur linguis; nisi forte interpretetur ut ecclesia aedificationem accipiat. |
| 6 | But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine? | Nunc autem, fratres, si venero ad vos linguis loquens: quid vobis prodero, nisi vobis loquar aut in revelatione, aut in scientia, aut in prophetia, aut in doctrina? |
| 7 | Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? | Tamen quae sine anima sunt vocem dantia, sive tibia, sive cithara; nisi distinctionem sonituum dederint, quomodo scietur id quod canitur, aut quod citharizatur? |
| 8 | For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? | Etenim si incertam vocem det tuba, quis parabit se ad bellum? |
| 9 | So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air. | Ita et vos per linguam nisi manifestum sermonem dederitis: quomodo scietur id quod dicitur? eritis enim in aëra loquentes. |
| 10 | There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice. | Tam multa, ut puta genera linguarum sunt in hoc mundo: et nihil sine voce est. |
| 11 | If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me. | Si ergo nesciero virtutem vocis, ero ei, cui loquor, barbarus: et qui loquitur, mihi barbarus. |
| 12 | So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church. | Sic et vos, quoniam aemulatores estis spirituum, ad aedificationem ecclesiae quaerite ut abundetis. |
| 13 | And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret. | Et ideo qui loquitur lingua, oret ut interpretetur. |
| 14 | For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit. | Nam si orem lingua, spiritus meus orat, mens autem mea sine fructu est. |
| 15 | What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding. | Quid ergo est? Orabo spiritu, orabo et mente: psallam spiritu, psallam et mente. |
| 16 | Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not what thou sayest. | Ceterum si benedixeris spiritu, qui supplet locum idiotae, quomodo dicet: Amen, super tuam benedictionem? quoniam quid dicas, nescit. |
| 17 | For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. | Nam tu quidem bene gratias agis, sed alter non aedificatur. |
| 18 | I thank my God I speak with all your tongues. | Gratias ago Deo meo, quod omnium vestrum lingua loquor. |
| 19 | But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue. | Sed in ecclesia volo quinque verba sensu meo loqui, ut et alios instruam: quam decem millia verborum in lingua. |
| 20 | Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect. | Fratres, nolite pueri effici sensibus, sed malitia parvuli estote: sensibus autem perfecti estote. |
| 21 | In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord. | In lege scriptum est: Quoniam in aliis linguis et labiis aliis loquar populo huic: et nec sic exaudient me, dicit Dominus. |
| 22 | Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers. | Itaque linguae in signum sunt non fidelibus, sed infidelibus: prophetiae autem non infidelibus, sed fidelibus. |
| 23 | If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad? | Si ergo conveniat universa ecclesia in unum, et omnes linguis loquantur, intrent autem idiotae, aut infideles: nonne dicent quod insanitis? |
| 24 | But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all. | Si autem omnes prophetent, intret autem quis infidelis, vel idiota, convincitur ab omnibus, diiudicatur ab omnibus: |
| 25 | The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed. | occulta cordis eius manifesta fiunt: et ita cadens in faciem adorabit Deum, pronuntians quod vere Deus in vobis sit. |
| 26 | How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification. | Quid ergo est, fratres? Cum convenitis, unusquisque vestrum psalmum habet, doctrinam habet, apocalypsim habet, linguam habet, interpretationem habet: omnia ad aedificationem fiant. |
| 27 | If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret. | Sive lingua quis loquitur, secundum duos, aut ut multum tres, et per partes, et unus interpretatur. |
| 28 | But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God. | Si autem non fuerit interpres, taceat in ecclesia: sibi autem loquatur, et Deo. |
| 29 | And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge. | Prophetae autem duo, aut tres dicant, et ceteri diiudicent. |
| 30 | But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace. | Quod si alii revelatum fuerit sedenti, prior taceat. |
| 31 | For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted: | Potestis enim omnes per singulos prophetare: ut omnes discant, et omnes exhortentur: |
| 32 | And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. | et spiritus prophetarum prophetis subiecti sunt. |
| 33 | For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints. | Non enim est dissensionis Deus, sed pacis: sicut et in omnibus ecclesiis sanctorum doceo. |
| 34 | Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith. | Mulieres in ecclesiis taceant, non enim permittitur eis loqui, sed subditas esse, sicut et lex dicit. |
| 35 | But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. | Si quid autem volunt discere, domi viros suos interrogent. Turpe est enim mulieri loqui in ecclesia. |
| 36 | Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you? | An a vobis verbum Dei processit? aut in vos solos pervenit? |
| 37 | If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord. | Si quis videtur propheta esse, aut spiritualis, cognoscat quae scribo vobis, quia Domini sunt mandata. |
| 38 | But if any man know not, he shall not be known. | Si quis autem ignorat, ignorabitur. |
| 39 | Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy; and forbid not to speak with tongues. | Itaque fratres aemulamini prophetare: et loqui linguis nolite prohibere. |
| 40 | But let all things be done decently, and according to order. | Omnia autem honeste, et secundum ordinem fiant. |
