1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.
Kulunge kina kunene kuntambu akeuntu niye naamalaika. Kuile ang'wi numugila uulowa, anga ishaba nilila ang'wi uupatu nuijika.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Hange kulunge kina nkete kipegwa kakinyakidagu nuulengi nuatai neyipihile nimahala, nikina nkete uhueli nuakuhamya imalugulu. Kuite ang'wi nemugila uulowa, unene singa kentu.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Hange kulunga kina kupumya insao yane yehi nukualesa iaula, nehange kupumya umuili wane upye umoto. Kuite ang'wi numugila uulowa, shayukunzailya anga kentu.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Uulowa wigigimiilya nukupumya. Uulowa singa wikulya ang'wi kilolya. Ugila ulogoha,
5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.
ang'wi uulei. Shawiduma imakani akwe, shawikaya kuona uuwai, ang'wi kualya nimabii.
6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.
Shawilowa uubi. Kuleka ite, wilowa mutai.
7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Ulowa wigigimiilya mumakani ehi, wihuela imakani ehi, ukete ugimya mumakani ehi, nukikie mumakani ehi.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.
Ulowa shawihila. Angeze kikole kidagu, ukukila wehi. Angeze ukole uneni ukuhila. Angeze akole mahala akukila.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
Kunsoko kulengile inino nukutenda ikidagu ininoo.
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.
Kuite iye nekondile, iye neshangekondile ikikila.
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.
Nae nemung'enya, aenamue anga numung'enya. Penanekatula nemuntu mukulu, nikaika kuli imakani aking'enya.
12 Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
Kunsoko itungo ele kuuone anga mukioo, anga esula mukiti kuite imatungo nanso kuuona usu nu usu. Itungo ele nengile ininoo, kuite kumatungo nanso kulenga kukila anga nunene nenengekile kukila.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
Kuite itungo ele imakani aya nataatu akusaga: kuhuela, uhueli nuupembilye, nuulowa. Kuile lekole nikulu kukila aya inge ulowa.
