1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
Singa njogera ennimi z’abantu n’eza bamalayika, naye nga sirina kwagala, mba ng’ekidde, ekireekaana oba ng’ekitaasa ekisaala.
2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Ne bwe mba n’ekirabo eky’okwogera eby’obunnabbi, ne ntegeera ebyama byonna, era ne mmanya ebintu byonna, era ne bwe mba n’okukkiriza okungi ne kunsobozesa n’okusiguukulula ensozi, naye nga sirina kwagala, mba siri kintu.
3 And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.
Ne bwe mpaayo ebyange byonna okuyamba abaavu, era ne bwe mpaayo omubiri gwange ne nneewaana, naye ne siba na kwagala, sibaako kye ngasibbwa.
4 Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous [of others]; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,
Okwagala kugumiikiriza era kwa kisa. Okwagala tekulina buggya era tekwenyumiikiriza wadde okwekuluntaza.
5 does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,
Okwagala tekukola bitasaana, tekunoonya byakwo, tekunyiiga mangu, era tekusiba kibi ku mwoyo.
6 does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,
Okwagala tekusanyukira bitali bya butuukirivu, wabula kusanyukira mazima.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Okwagala kugumira byonna, kukkiriza byonna, kusuubira byonna era kugumiikiriza byonna.
8 Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.
Okwagala tekulemererwa; obunnabbi buliggyibwawo, n’ennimi zirikoma, n’eby’amagezi birikoma.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part:
Kubanga tumanyiiko kitundu, ne bunnabbi nabwo bwa kitundu.
10 but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.
Naye ebituukiridde bwe birijja, olwo eby’ekitundu nga biggwaawo.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I had done with what belonged to the child.
Bwe nnali omuto, nayogeranga ng’omuto, nalowoozanga ng’omuto, ne byonna nga mbiraba mu ngeri ya kito. Naye bwe nakula ne ndeka eby’ekito.
12 For we see now through a dim window obscurely, but then face to face; now I know partially, but then I shall know according as I also have been known.
Kaakano tulaba kifaananyi bufaananyi, ng’abali mu ndabirwamu eteraba bulungi; naye tulirabira ddala bulungi amaaso n’amaaso. Kaakano mmanyiiko kitundu butundu, naye luli ndimanyira ddala byonna, mu bujjuvu.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these [is] love.
Kaakano waliwo ebintu bisatu eby’olubeerera: okukkiriza, n’okusuubira, era n’okwagala. Naye ekisingako ku ebyo obukulu kwe kwagala.
