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.
Si mwen pale avèk lang a lèzòm ak zanj yo, men mwen pa gen lanmou, mwen tankou yon klòch k ap fè gwo bwi oubyen yon senbal k ap sone.
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.
Si m gen don pwofesi, e konnen tout mistè ak tout konesans; epi si mwen gen tout lafwa, kòmsi pou m ta kapab deplase mòn yo, men mwen pa gen lanmou, mwen pa anyen.
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.
Si mwen bay tout sa ke m posede pou bay manje a pòv yo, e si mwen livre kò m pou brile, men mwen pa gen lanmou, sa p ap rapòte m anyen.
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, and is not puffed up.
Lanmou pasyan, lanmou dous; li pa jalou. Lanmou pa vante tèt li e li pa awogan.
5 It does not behave improperly, does not seek the things of itself, is not made sharp, does not contemplate evil,
Li pa aji malonètman, ni li pa chache pwòp enterè pa l. Li pa fè kòlè pa teni kont de mal li resevwa.
6 does not rejoice in wrong but rejoices in the truth,
Li pa rejwi nan lenjistis, men rejwi nan verite a.
7 covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Li sipòte tout bagay, kwè tout bagay, espere tout bagay, andire tout bagay.
8 Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will be abolished, whether tongues, they will cease, whether knowledge, it will be abolished.
Lanmou pa janm disparèt. Si gen don pwofesi, y ap vin disparèt. Si gen don lang, yo va fini. Si gen konesans, li va anile.
9 But we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
Paske nou konnen yon ti pati e nou pwofetize yon ti pati;
10 but when the perfect comes, then what is in part will be abolished.
men lè sa ki pafè a vini, sa ki poko konplè a va disparèt.
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.
Lè m te timoun, mwen te konn pale tankou yon timoun, panse tankou yon timoun, rezone tankou yon timoun. Lè m te vin gran, mwen te kite bagay timoun yo.
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.
Paske koulye a nou wè twoub, konsi nan yon glas, men answit nou va wè fasafas. Koulye a m konnen yon ti pati, men answit, mwen va konnen tout bagay menm jan ke Bondye konnen tout bagay de mwen an.
13 And now remain faith, hope, love, these three, but the greater of these is love.
Men koulye a, lafwa, lesperans, ak lanmou; rete twa bagay sa yo. Men pi gran nan bagay sa yo, se lanmou.
