For Andrew Gabriel Roth
#6
Shlama Akhi Thirdwoe,

Sure, I will post my translation of 1 Corinthians 14:12-19. Before I do though let me just say that I have not developed any firm theological position on the controversy of tongues--it just has not come up all that much for me and my brethren. I have therefore tried to just translate here as I have throughout Mari, being faithful to the text as I can. So, having said that, here is what I came up with:

12. So also you,since you are searching for the gifts of the Spirit for the edification of the assembly; you seek to excel. 13. And let him who speaks in a tongue, pray that he may also interpret. 14. For if I should pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my (spiritual) understanding[65] is without fruits. 15. What then will I do? I will pray with my spirit and will pray with my understanding; and I will sing with my spirit, and will sing with my understanding. 16. Otherwise if I bless with my spirit, how will he who fills the place of one unlearned say "Amen" on your giving thanks; for he does not know what you say? 17. You bless indeed, very well; but your neighbor is not edified. 18. I thank Elohim that I speak with tongues more than all of you. 19. But in the assembly, I would rather speak five words with my (spiritual) understanding, that I might instruct others, than a myriad of words in a tongue.

Footnote [65] : Derived from da'at, this word represents a kind of heavenly understanding coming out through prayer as opposed to earthly knowledge.

Hope I didn't create more controversy. As I said, this is not a topic I get into.

Shlama w'burkate
