1 Corinthians 14:7

Ὅμως τὰ ἄψυχα φωνὴν διδόντα, εἴτε αὐλός, εἴτε κιθάρα, ἐὰν διαστολὴν τοῖς φθόγγοις μὴ διδῷ, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ αὐλούμενον ἢ τὸ κιθαριζόμενον;

RBT Hebrew Literal:

None

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
As inanimate things giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if it give not a distinction to sounds, how shall the piping or harping be known?

LITV Translation:
Yet lifeless things giving a sound, whether flute or harp, if they do not give a distinction in the sound, how will it be known what is being piped or harped?

ESV Translation:
If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played?
