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.
Fa ke ne ke na le mpho ya go kgona go bua dipuo tse dingwe tse ke sa di ithutang le go ka bua puo nngwe le nngwe e e mo legodimong le mo lefatsheng lotlhe, mme ke sa rate ba bangwe, ke tlaa bo ke ne ke tsosa modumo fela.
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.
Fa ke ne ke na le mpho ya go porofesa ebile ke itse tsotlhe tse di tlaa diragalang mo lobakeng lo lo tlang, ke itsile sengwe le sengwe kaga sengwe le sengwe, mme ke sa rate ba bangwe, go ne go ka dira molemo wa eng? Le fa ke ne ke na le mpho ya tumelo mo e leng gore ke ne ke ka bua le thaba ka e dira gore e sute, ke ne ke tlaa bo ke santse ke sena mosola gotlhelele fa ke sena lorato.
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.
Fa ke abetse bahumanegi sengwe le sengwe se ke nang naso, le fa e le gore ke tshubetswe go rera Mafoko a a Molemo, mme ke ne ke sa rate ba bangwe, go ka bo go sena molemo ope.
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, and is not puffed up.
Lorato lo pelotelele lo bile lo pelonomi, ga lo pelotshetlha kgotsa lefufa, ga lo ikgantshe kgotsa go ipelafatsa,
5 It does not behave improperly, does not seek the things of itself, is not made sharp, does not contemplate evil,
ga lo ikgodise kgotsa ga lo ikgapele ebile ga lo makgakga. Lorato ga lo batle tsela ya lone fela. Ga lo rumolesege kgotsa go amega. Ga lo tshole ka pelo ebile ga lo nke lo tlhokomela le fa ba bangwe ba lo direla phoso.
6 does not rejoice in wrong but rejoices in the truth,
Ga lo ko lo itumelela tshiamololo mme lo itumelela boammaaruri ka nako tsotlhe.
7 covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Fa o rata yo mongwe o tlaa nna le boammaaruri mo go ene go sa re sepe gore go a reng. O tlaa aga o dumela mo go ene, o solofela tse di molemo mo go ene, ebile o mo femela ka gale ka boammaaruri.
8 Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will be abolished, whether tongues, they will cease, whether knowledge, it will be abolished.
Dimpho tsotlhe tse di faphegileng le dinonofo tse di tswang kwa Modimong e tlaa re letsatsi lengwe di tle mo bokhutlong, mme lorato lo tswelela ka bosakhutleng. Letsatsi lengwe seporofeso, go bua dipuo tse di sa itsiweng le kitso e e faphegileng, dimpho tse di tlaa nyelela.
9 But we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
Jaanong re itse go le gonnye fela, le kaga dimpho tsa rona tsa botlhokwa le thero ya ba ba filweng go rera thata. Mme thero ya bone e santse e le bokoa,
10 but when the perfect comes, then what is in part will be abolished.
mme fa se se itekanetseng se tla, se se sa itekanelang se tlaa nyelela.
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.
Mme go ntse jaana: erile ke sa le ngwana ke ne ke bua ebile ke akanya jaaka ngwana. Mme ya re ke nna monna megopolo ya gola go feta ya bonyana jwa me, mme jaanong ke tlogetse dilo tsa sengwana.
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.
Mme fela jalo, re ka bona ra bo ra tlhaloganya go le gonnye fela kaga Modimo, jaaka ekete re lebetse tsabakelo ya gagwe mo seiponeng se se letobo; mme letsatsi lengwe re tlaa mmona fela jaaka a ntse, re lebane mo matlhong. Mme gompieno ke santse ke le mo letobong, mme e tlaa re kwa morago ke tlaa bona sengwe le sengwe sentle; fela jaaka Modimo o bona mo teng ga pelo ya me gompieno.
13 And now remain faith, hope, love, these three, but the greater of these is love.
Go na le dilo di le tharo tse di salang, tumelo, tsholofelo le lorato, mme se se tona mo dilong tse ke lorato.
