1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
Nkali meleketaga ibheleketo yowe ya bhandunji na ya ashimalaika, monaga nepelaga kupingana na bhandu, nne njibha mbuti lidebhe lyangali shindu eu kengele.
2 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.
Kabhili, ngolaga kalama ja londola na lunguya ntenga gwa a Nnungu, na kwiimanya indu ya nng'iyo na ya lunda na kola ngulupai ja malila, nkali kombola kuamiya itumbi, ikabheje nepelaga pingana na bhandunji, nne nngabha shindu.
3 If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
Ndolaga indu yangu yowe nikwaapanganga bhaalaga, nkali niishoyaga shiilu shangu shijokwe moto, nepelaga pingana na bhandu, shakwa sha mbwaila.
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
Apingana na bhandu, anakwiipililila, na anakola uguja, na jwangali lupimililo, na akakwiipuna na wala jwangali miinjili.
5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
Apingana na bhandu, anakwiitimalika na akaloleya pwaida jakwe nnyene, wala akatumbala na akakwiibhika muntima yangali ya mmbone,
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
akaangalila yangali ya mmbone, ikabhe anaangalila ili ya kweli.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Apingana na bhandu akaatotoshela, akaaleka kulupalila na anakwiipililila yowe.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
Kupingana na bhandu, kwangali mpelo. Monaga kupagwaga kulunguya ntenga gwa a Nnnugu, shikupele, kupagwaga kubheleketa shibheleketo sha ambi, shikupele, nkali lupagwaga lumanyio, shikupite.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
Pabha indu itukwiimanya na londola ishokope.
10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
Ikabheje malanga gushigaishe gatimilile gala, gowe gangatimilila shigapele.
11 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 a man, I have put away childish things.
Punaliji mwana jwanshoko nashinkubheleketa malinga mwana, nashinkumanya malinga mwana, natendaga ganishiya malinga mwana. Ikabheje ngakuleje, indu yowe ya shigwana njileka.
12 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.
Pabha itukwiibhona nnaino, ni mbuti shiwili nshioo tukawiibhona ukoto, ikabheje gene malangago shitwiibhone ukoto. Nnaino ingwiimanya ishokope, ikabheje kungai shiniimanye yowe ukoto, malinga a Nnungu shibhaamanya nne.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Bhai nnaino ilonjeya itatu, ngulupai na kukulupalila na pingana, ikabheje shikulungwa kaje ni kupingana.
