UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πνεύματα προφητῶν, προφήταις ὑποτάσσεται

spirits ˱of˲_prophets ˱to˲_prophets /is_being/_subjected

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive here to focus on the spirits rather than focusing on the prophets If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that prophets do it. Alternate translation: “prophets subject the spirits of prophets” or “prophets govern the spirits of prophets”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

πνεύματα προφητῶν & ὑποτάσσεται

spirits ˱of˲_prophets & /is_being/_subjected

Here, the spirits of the prophets could refer to: (1) the “spiritual” gift that the prophets have by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is supported by 14:12, where the word that is here translated spirits is there translated “spiritual gifts.” Alternate translation: “the spiritual gifts of prophets are subject to” or “what the Holy Spirit enables prophets to do is subject to” (2) the spirits that are part of the prophets, that is, their inner life or nonphysical parts. Alternate translation: “how the prophets act is subject to” or “the minds of prophets are subject to”

προφήταις

˱to˲_prophets

Here, prophets could refer to (1) the same prophets who have the spirits. In this case, prophets control their own spirits. Alternate translation: “these prophets” (2) other prophets. In this case, some prophets (those who are not speaking) control the spirits of different prophets (those who are speaking). Alternate translation: “the other prophets”
