5. ನೀವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನಾಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾನು ಅಪೇಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ; ಆದರೆ ಅದಕ್ಕಿಂತಲೂ ನೀವು ಪ್ರವಾದಿಸಬೇಕೆಂಬದೇ ನನ್ನಿಷ್ಟ. ಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನಾಡು ವವನು ಸಭೆಗೆ ಭಕ್ತಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಆ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ಹೇಳದೆ ಹೋದರೆ ಅವನಿಗಿಂತ ಪ್ರವಾದಿಸುವವನು ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ.

ERVKN
5. ವಿವಿಧ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತಾಡುವ ವರವನ್ನು ನೀವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಹೊಂದಿರಬೇಕೆಂದು ನನ್ನ ಅಪೇಕ್ಷೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ನೀವು ಪ್ರವಾದಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾನು ಇನ್ನೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಅಪೇಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಕೇವಲ ವಿವಿಧ ಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾತನಾಡುವವನಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಪ್ರವಾದಿಸುವವನು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಆದರೆ ವಿವಿಧ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತಾಡುವವನು ಆ ಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನು ಅನುವಾದಿಸಬಲ್ಲವನಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಅವನು ಪ್ರವಾದಿಸುವವನಷ್ಟೇ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಆಗ ಅವನು ಹೇಳುವ ಸಂಗತಿಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಭೆಗೆ ಸಹಾಯವಾಗುವುದು.

IRVKN
5. ನೀವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಅನ್ಯಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನಾಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾನು ಅಪೇಕ್ಷಿಸಿದರೂ, ಅದಕ್ಕಿಂತಲೂ [‡ ಅರಣ್ಯ 11:29] ನೀವು ಪ್ರವಾದಿಸಬೇಕೆಂಬುದೆ ನನ್ನಿಷ್ಟವಾಗಿದೆ. ಅನ್ಯಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನಾಡುವವನು ಸಭೆಯು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗುವುದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಆ ಅನ್ಯಭಾಷೆಯ ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ವಿವೇಚಿಸಿ ಹೇಳದೆ ಹೋದರೆ ಅವನಿಗಿಂತ ಪ್ರವಾದಿಸುವವನು ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನು.

MSG
5. I want all of you to develop intimacies with God in prayer, but please don't stop with that. Go on and proclaim his clear truth to others.

GNB
5. I would like for all of you to speak in strange tongues; but I would rather that you had the gift of proclaiming God's message.

ERVEN
5. I would like all of you to have the gift of speaking in different languages. But what I want more is for you to prophesy. Anyone who prophesies is more important than those who can only speak in different languages. However, if they can also interpret those languages, they are as important as the one who prophesies. If they can interpret, then the church can be helped by what they say.
