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.
Mihing le vantungmi te kam taw ka pau thei hial zong, itna ka nei bale, keima sia zam nging bang lel, a hibale daktal ki tum bang lel ka hihi.
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.
Kamsang thu pualak thiamna tel nei in, thuku theampo le pilna theampo ka he zong in; taciang upna theampo ka nei a; mual te ka ki khinsak thei phial zong, itna ka nei bale, keima sia bangma ka hi bua hi.
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.
Taciang mizawng te vakna tu in ka neisa theampo te ka piasiat a, taciang ka pumpi sia mei taw ki hal tu in pia kama leng zong, itna ka nei bale, bangma phattuamna om ngawl hi.
4 Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated.
Itna sia thinsau a, pha hi; itna in haza ngawl hi; itna sia kiphasak ngawl a, kisuangtak ngawl hi,
5 Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil.
A hoi ngawl in ngamta ngawl hi, ama atu bek zong ngawl hi, thintom ngawl hi, a pha ngawl te ngaisun ngawl hi;
6 Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
Phat ngawlna ah lungdam ngawl hi, ahihang thuman thu ah lungdam hi;
7 Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all.
Na theampo ah thuak a, na theampo um hi, na theampo lamen a, na theampo ah thinsau hi.
8 Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed.
Itna sia bo ngei ngawl hi: ahihang kamsang thu pualak thiamna te a om zong in, bokik tu hi; kam tatuam pau thiamna a om zong in, cimit kik tu hi; heakna om zong in, maimang kik tu hi.
9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part.
Banghangziam cile a kicing ngawl in i he a, taciang a kicing ngawl in mailam thu i pualak hi.
10 But when the perfect arrives, the imperfect passes away.
Ahihang a kicing sia hong thet ciang in, a kicing ngawl teng bo siat tu hi.
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.
Patang ka hi lai in, patang bang in ka pau a, patang bang in ka he hi, taciang patang bang in ka ngaisun hi: ahihang ka khanthin ciang in patang ngeina te ka vawk siat hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile tu in limlang sung ah thim milmial in i mu hi; ahihang maitang kisi in i mu lai tu hi: tu in a kicing ngawl in i he hi; ahihang keima hong heak bang in ka he kik veve tu hi.
13 But for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and charity. And the greatest of these is charity.
Tu in upna, lametna, itna, hi te thum kip hi; ahihang hiteng sung pan itna sia thupibel hi.
