1 Corinthians 13
1 If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal.
Bani ter me hebe indi, ni wu malaiku wu me tana hei ni katu wur bi na me hei na kpekle wu hanto megye, na kuge wu amo megye.
2 And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing.
Wu mena hei ni kpayeme ni annabci ni fabimici ni kpi biwa ba reba bi jaji ni bi wa ba hei nito, wu me hei jiji ni kpayeme, wu meta ya ni tur rita. wu me tana hei ni kpayeme nindi ni sur mu na, me nakpe na.
3 And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing.
Wume tano ikpe wa me hei niwu wawu du ba no indi bi tei ya, ni ka kpamu du gonlu. We me tana hei ni katu bi na mena hei ni, me na hei ni riha na. (Meka Kpa mu nodu son wu wurwo sur).
4 Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated.
Wu kpaye me ni kpamu a son wu vu sur ni kirki. Wu kauna and hei ni lo shishi ni wurwo ni sur na. Kauna ana wu tsu tuna ko fitsara.
5 Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil.
Ana no tuma sontu na. Ana tifu gbagbla na, ana zi sur ma nikpe wu bla later me na.
6 Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
Ana gir ni rashin adalci na, wu naki ani gir ni gaskiya.
7 Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all.
Kauna ani ghi kpi bi jurewa ni kpi waeu'u ani to kpi wawu'u ani kpaye nikpi wawu'u ani lokpi wawu'u.
8 Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed.
Kauna na gle na, wu akwai anunbce anahce bana son na. Wu hebe ha hei bave ni kpamba. We bi bla ba hei ani wuce.
9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part.
Ito bu a hei kan-kan wu ki tei anabci nitu nitu.
10 But when the perfect arrives, the imperfect passes away.
Wuton wa cikakke a ye wu kpe wana kle na a wuce.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I put aside the things of a child.
Ni wa mena hei ni vur me ta tere na vur, wu mere mu a hei na vur, me wu mere mu a hei na vur. Wuton wa me zar nandi me ka kpi wu vur lega.
12 Now we see through a glass darkly. But then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I am known.
Wu ziza'a me ya geger na ma dubi wu ni zhi me ya shishi ziza'a me to nibur, wu me to wawu'u na me to wawu'u.
13 But for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and charity. And the greatest of these is charity.
Wu kpi tar bayi ba kle naki ban gaskiya, wu gabagadi wu ye ni kauna, du wawu'u wu kpe wa a zan ba wawu'u a kauna.
