1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
Nambi kandicikonsha kwamba milaka ya bantu nambi mulaka ngobakute kwamba bangelo, nomba na kandi ndabula lusuno ndakoshaneti mulangu nambi ngoma ilayobekenga.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
Nambi ndalapewa cipo ca kwamba mulumbe wa Lesa nambi ndalapewa cipo ca kwinshiba bintu byonse ne kwinshiba byasolekwa. Nambi kankute lushomo lunene lwa kwinseti nganyamuna milundu nekwitwala pamusena naumbi nakandi ndabula lusuno paliya ncombele.
3 And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, and though I deliver up my body to be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.
Nambi buboni bwakame bonse ndibuyabila bapenshi nambi nduyaba mubili wakame kwambeti bantu bautente pamulilo, nomba kandi ndabula lusuno paliya cakame cilipo.
4 Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love boasts not; is not vain,
Lusuno lwekalikana kayi lwaina kwine, luliya munyono, nkalukute kulilumbaisha nambi kulikonempesha sobwe.
5 does nothing unbecoming, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil,
Lusuno luliya minyungwe, nkaluliyanda kayi nkalukalala nambi kusunga cintu kumoyo.
6 rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Nkalukondwa ne bintu byabula kululama, nsombi lukute kukondwa ne cancine ncine.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Lusuno lukute kulekelela byonse, lukute kupa lushomo, nkalutyompwa bwangu, lukute kupita mu makatasho alabangilingeti mulilo.
8 Love never fails; but whether there be gifts of prophecy, they shall have an end; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall have an end.
Lusuno nteti lukapwe, bushinshimi nibukapwe, kwamba mu milaka yabula kwishibikwa nikukapwe, nawo mano a bantu nakapwe.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
Kwinshiba bintu ne kukambauka kwetu nkakwesulila.
10 but when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall have an end.
Neco cakwana cakashika ico cabula kukwana nicikapwe.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I had the mind of a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Mpondalikuba mwana, kwamba, micito ne kuyeya kwakame kwalikubeti kwakanike. Lino mpondala kula mushimba bintu byonse bya ku butwanike ndalabileka.
12 Now we see through a mirror, obscurely; but then, face to face; now I know in part, but then shall I know, even as I am known.
Bintu mbyotulabononga cino cindi eti mucilola nkabilabonekenga cena. Nomba pacindico nitukabibone cena. Pacino cindi kwinshiba kwetu nkakwesula, nsombi pacindico nitukanyumfwishishe cena mbuli Lesa ncanjinshi cena.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Pa cino cindi pali ibi bintu bitatu, lushomo, kupembelela ne lusuno. Nomba pali ibi bitatu lusuno elwapitapo.
