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.
Kana ndikataura nendimi dzevanhu nedzevatumwa, asi ndisina rudo, ndava dare rinorira kana ndarira inoungudza.
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.
Uye kana ndine chiporofita, uye ndichinzwisisa zvakavanzika zvese neruzivo rwese, uye kana ndine rutendo rwese, zvekuti ndibvise makomo, asi ndisina rudo, handisi chinhu.
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.
Uye kana ndagovera varombo zvinhu zvangu zvese, uye kana ndikagamuchidza muviri wangu kuti ndipiswe, asi ndisina rudo, hazvindibatsiri chinhu.
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
Rudo rwune moyo murefu, rwune unyoro; rudo harwuna godo; rudo harwuzvikudzi, harwututumadzwi,
5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
harwuzvibati zvisakafanira, harwuzvitsvakiri zvarwo, harwudenhwi, harwurangariri zvakaipa;
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
harwufari nekusarurama, asi rwunofara muchokwadi;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
rwunofukidza zvese, rwunotenda zvese, rwunotarisira zvese, rwunotsungirira pazvese.
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.
Rudo harwutongoperi. Zvino kana zviri zviporofita, zvichashaiswa basa; kana dziri ndimi, dzichaguma; kana rwuri ruzivo, rwuchashaiswa basa.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
Nokuti tinoziva muchidimbu, uye tinoporofita muchidimbu;
10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
asi kana zvakazara zvasvika, ipapo zviri muchidimbu zvichashayiswa maturo.
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.
Pandakange ndiri mucheche, ndaitaura semucheche, ndainzwisisa semucheche, ndaifunga semucheche; asi pandakava murume, ndakashaisa maturo zveucheche.
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.
Nokuti ikozvino tinoona nepachionioni madzedzerera; asi nenguva iyo tichaona zviso nezviso; ikozvino ndinoziva muchidimbu, asi ipapo ndichaziva sezvandakazikanwawo ini.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Ikozvinowo rutendo, tariro, rudo, zvitatu izvi ndizvo zvinogara; asi chikuru chezvizvi rudo.
