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.
Tujobhai kuya ninena kwa lugha sa bhanadamu ni sa malaika. Kakiyele kutya ni dulili upendo, niyele shaba yayilela au upatu wa wivuma.
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.
Ni ndabha niyele ni kalama ya unabii ni ufahamu wa kueli sa sifighibhu ni maalifa, ni kuwa niyele ni imani ya kuhamisya kid'onda.
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.
Kakiyele ikayelai nidulili upendo, nene khenu hee. Ni tujobhelai ndabha nipisya miliki jha nene jhioha ni kubhalesya bha b'onji ni kujha nikabhuh'omesya mb'el'e bhuangu ili nihomibhwayi ni kunyanyibhwa muoto. Lakini kama nidulili luganu jhikanitangalila lepi khenu.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Luganu lwisindamala ni kutangatila. Luganu lwikitufya lepi au kwifuna. Kijhelepi kiburi
5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.
au bhupasioli. Bhwilonda lepi mambo gha muene, wibhonalepi bhuchungu manyata, bhwala bhwibhalangalepi mabhibhi.
6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.
Bhwihobhokela lepi bhudhalimu. Badala jhiake, bhwihobhoka mu bhukweli.
7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Luganu lwisindmala mambo ghoha, bhwikiera mambo ghoha bhujhe ni bhujasiri bhuoha mu mambo ghoha, ni kusindamala mambo ghoha.
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.
Luganu lwisindwa lepi. Ikajhiajhi bhujhe bhunabii, bhuoha bhwip'eta. Ikajhiajhi lugha, sibetakuleka. Ikajhiajhi kujha ni maarifa, ghibetakul'ota.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
Kwa kujha tumanyili kwa sehemu na twibhomba bhunabii kwa sehemu.
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.
Lakini pajhihida hela jha jhikamiliki, jhela jhajhibeli kujha kamili jhibeta kulota.
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.
Bhonijhi ne muana, najobhili kama muana, ifikirireghe kama muana, niamuleghe kama muana. Bho nijhele ne n'nyuluala, nabhekhili patali ni nene mambo gha bhuana.
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.
Kwa kujha henu twilola kama kiobho, kama sura mu ngisi, lakini wakati bhola twibetakubhona mihu kwa mihu. Henu nimanyili kwa sehemu, lakini bhwakati bhola nibetakumanya nesu kama ni nene kyanimanyikene nesu.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
Lakini henu mambo agha madatu ghitamisya: Imani, tumaini lya lihida, ni luganu. Lakini lya lijhele libhaha nesu jha agha ndo luganu.
