1 Korintuh 13
1 Khyang naküta ngthukhyü pyen thei lü khankhaw ngsä hea ngthukhyü pi pyen thei ngü se pi, mhläkphyanak am ka tak üngta, ng'yüng sawxatkia pung ja ng'yüng sawxatkia kcinga mäiha ni ka law kawm.
If I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal.
2 Ngthu pyennak thei, ngthu ngthup naküt ksingkhyapnak ta lü; mcung pi akcea ngpyawt thei khai hlawka jumnak tak üng pi; mhläkphyanak am ka tak üngta kei amdang vai ni.
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 Ka tak naküt jah yet hü lü ka pumsa pi mei üng mkhih vai hlawka ve ni se pi mhläkphyanaka am ka tak üngta acukba pawh cun naw i pi am na dawsak.
If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
4 Mhläkphyanak cun mlung msaünak ja dawnaka kyaki; Ani cun awhcahnak, ng’eihnak ja pakhyapnaka am kya.
Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
5 Mhläkphyanak cun angnei am kse, a mäta malam am sui, am mlung am so; mhläkphyanak naw khyang mhlätki;
does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs;
6 mhläkphyanak cun akse üng am je, cunsepi ngthungtak üng jekyaiki.
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 Mhläkphyanak cun am bawngka thei; jumei theiki, äpei theiki, angläta k'äihei theiki.
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Mhläkphyanak cun ngläta kyaki. Ngthu sangnak, ngthu akce kce pyennak thei, ksingnak theie cun ve u se pi asäng üng päih law khaie.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
9 Am kümkawi khaia mi ksingki, ngthu pi avang ni kami sangki.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
10 A kümkawinak a pha law üng, am kümkawiki cun düt lawsaka khai.
but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with.
11 Ka hnasen ham üng ka pyen, ka ngaih ja ka bilawhe cun hnasena kba kyaki; cunsepi atuh ta ka däm lawki kyase hnasena kba am kya ti veng.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become an adult, I have put away childish things.
12 Atuh cun hman üng mi müihmai am ngkhaiki mi hmuha mäih kyaki; ngawia ta angsinga mi hmuh law khai. Atuh ka ksing cun avang ni; cunsepi Pamhnama ksingkhyapnak kei üng a küma kba aküma ka ksing law khai.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
13 Atuh cun jumeinak, äpeinak ja mhläkphyanak kthum vekie. Ahina kthume üng mhläkphyanak hlüng säihki.
But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
