1 Korinthians 13
1 Bani ter me hebe indi, ni wu malaiku wu me tana hei ni katu wur bi na me hei na kpekle wu hanto megye, na kuge wu amo megye.
If in the tongues of men I shall speak and of angels, love however not may have, I have become a brass sounding or a cymbal clanging.
2 Wu mena hei ni kpayeme ni annabci ni fabimici ni kpi biwa ba reba bi jaji ni bi wa ba hei nito, wu me hei jiji ni kpayeme, wu meta ya ni tur rita. wu me tana hei ni kpayeme nindi ni sur mu na, me nakpe na.
And if I shall have prophecy and understand the mysteries all and all the knowledge, And if I shall have all the faith so as mountains to remove, love however not may have, no [thing] I am.
3 Wume tano ikpe wa me hei niwu wawu du ba no indi bi tei ya, ni ka kpamu du gonlu. We me tana hei ni katu bi na mena hei ni, me na hei ni riha na. (Meka Kpa mu nodu son wu wurwo sur).
Even if Even if I shall give away all the possessions of mine, And if I shall deliver up the body of mine that (I may boast, *N(K)(o)*) love however not may have, no [thing] I am profited.
4 Wu kpaye me ni kpamu a son wu vu sur ni kirki. Wu kauna and hei ni lo shishi ni wurwo ni sur na. Kauna ana wu tsu tuna ko fitsara.
Love is patient, is kind, love not is envious, love not is boastful, not is puffed up,
5 Ana no tuma sontu na. Ana tifu gbagbla na, ana zi sur ma nikpe wu bla later me na.
not acts unbecomingly, not seeks the [things] of its own, not is easily provoked, not it keeps account of wrongs,
6 Ana gir ni rashin adalci na, wu naki ani gir ni gaskiya.
not delights at unrighteousness, rejoices however in the truth,
7 Kauna ani ghi kpi bi jurewa ni kpi waeu'u ani to kpi wawu'u ani kpaye nikpi wawu'u ani lokpi wawu'u.
All things it bears, all things believes, all things hopes, all things endures.
8 Kauna na gle na, wu akwai anunbce anahce bana son na. Wu hebe ha hei bave ni kpamba. We bi bla ba hei ani wuce.
Love never (falls. *N(k)O*) if however [there are] prophesies, they will be abated; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge it will be abated.
9 Ito bu a hei kan-kan wu ki tei anabci nitu nitu.
In part (for *NK(o)*) we know and in part we prophesy;
10 Wuton wa cikakke a ye wu kpe wana kle na a wuce.
when however may come the perfect, (then *K*) the in part will be done away.
11 Ni wa mena hei ni vur me ta tere na vur, wu mere mu a hei na vur, me wu mere mu a hei na vur. Wuton wa me zar nandi me ka kpi wu vur lega.
When I was a child, I was speaking like a child, I was thinking like a child, I was reasoning like a child; when (now *k*) I became a man, I have done away with the [things] of the child.
12 Wu ziza'a me ya geger na ma dubi wu ni zhi me ya shishi ziza'a me to nibur, wu me to wawu'u na me to wawu'u.
We see for presently through a glass in obscurity, then however face to face; presently I know in part, then however I will know fully even as also I have been fully known.
13 Wu kpi tar bayi ba kle naki ban gaskiya, wu gabagadi wu ye ni kauna, du wawu'u wu kpe wa a zan ba wawu'u a kauna.
Now however abide faith, hope, love, three these; [the] greatest however of these [is] love.
