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.
Kulunge kina kunene kuntambu akeuntu niye naamalaika. Kuile ang'wi numugila uulowa, anga ishaba nilila ang'wi uupatu nuijika.
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.
Hange kulunge kina nkete kipegwa kakinyakidagu nuulengi nuatai neyipihile nimahala, nikina nkete uhueli nuakuhamya imalugulu. Kuite ang'wi nemugila uulowa, unene singa kentu.
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.
Hange kulunga kina kupumya insao yane yehi nukualesa iaula, nehange kupumya umuili wane upye umoto. Kuite ang'wi numugila uulowa, shayukunzailya anga kentu.
4 Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated.
Uulowa wigigimiilya nukupumya. Uulowa singa wikulya ang'wi kilolya. Ugila ulogoha,
5 Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil.
ang'wi uulei. Shawiduma imakani akwe, shawikaya kuona uuwai, ang'wi kualya nimabii.
6 Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
Shawilowa uubi. Kuleka ite, wilowa mutai.
7 Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all.
Ulowa wigigimiilya mumakani ehi, wihuela imakani ehi, ukete ugimya mumakani ehi, nukikie mumakani ehi.
8 Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed.
Ulowa shawihila. Angeze kikole kidagu, ukukila wehi. Angeze ukole uneni ukuhila. Angeze akole mahala akukila.
9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part.
Kunsoko kulengile inino nukutenda ikidagu ininoo.
10 But when the perfect arrives, the imperfect passes away.
Kuite iye nekondile, iye neshangekondile ikikila.
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.
Nae nemung'enya, aenamue anga numung'enya. Penanekatula nemuntu mukulu, nikaika kuli imakani aking'enya.
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.
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 But for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and charity. And the greatest of these is charity.
Kuite itungo ele imakani aya nataatu akusaga: kuhuela, uhueli nuupembilye, nuulowa. Kuile lekole nikulu kukila aya inge ulowa.
