1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of agents, but have not love, I have become sounding brass, or a clashing cymbal.
Nwa su uliru nin tilen nanit, sa nin tilen nnono kadura Kutellẹ, na nnin dini su ba, nba so nafo lileng gberere sa fidowon mbejulu.
2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
Asa ndi nin fillun anabci nin yiru kidegen kanga vat na kiyeshin. Andi ndi nin yinnu sa uyenu ulenge na uwasa ufiza akup. Andi na ndinin su ba na meng imonari ba.
3 And if I dole out all things possessed by me, and if I deliver my body so that I may be burned, and have not love, I benefit nothing.
Asa nna vat nimon ile na ndi bara akimon, sa nni kidowo nighe ijuju, andi na ndi nin su ba ukpini imonku ba.
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, and is not puffed up.
Usu di nin nayi asheu, uyita nin lidu licine. Na usu dinin liyarin ba, sa ivet ba. Usu din fo figiri ba, na usu din tizu umucu litiba.
5 It does not behave improperly, does not seek the things of itself, is not made sharp, does not contemplate evil,
Na udin dasu nin diru litiba, na udi nin su litiba, na udin lanzu kughullu ba, na udin cisu adu ananzang liburi ba.
6 does not rejoice in wrong but rejoices in the truth,
Na udin su liburi libo nan nya nimon inanzang ba, una din liburi libo nan nya kidegen.
7 covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Usu din nnonku kibinayi nin nimon vat, udin yinnu nin nimon vat, udi nin nayi akone kitene nimon vat, unin yita nin terru kibinayi nin nimon vat.
8 Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will be abolished, whether tongues, they will cease, whether knowledge, it will be abolished.
Usu di nin ligang ba. Andi annabci duku, iba katu, andi tilen tilen duku, tiba tiligan, andi uyiru duku, uma katu.
9 But we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
Bara uyiru bite di agir agir, anabci bite wang di agir agir,
10 but when the perfect comes, then what is in part will be abolished.
Asa unan kulie nnin da, ilenge na idi agir agir ma katu.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I reasoned as a child, but when I became a man, I abolished the childish things.
Kubi kongo na nwa di gono, nwa liru nafo gono, nwa yenjize nafo gono, nwa kpiluzu nafo gono. Kubiko na nwa wasirin, nna sun adadu tinone.
12 For now we see by polished metal, in dimness, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know just as also I was known.
Nene tidin yenju nan nya nimon nyeju ayeli nafo nan nya nsirti, lire tima yenju umuro nin muro. Nene uyiru nighe di kugir, lire uyiru nighe makulu nafo na mmal kulu uyinoe.
13 And now remain faith, hope, love, these three, but the greater of these is love.
Imon itat ilelere nlawa, uyinnu sa uyenu, uciu nayi, nin su, vat nan nya nitatte imon idiyawe usuwari.
