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.
मानौँ, म मानिसहरू र स्वर्गदूतहरूको भाषामा बोल्छु, तर मसँग प्रेम छैन भने म हल्ला मच्चाउने घण्टा र झ्याइँ-झ्याइँ गर्ने झ्याली मात्र हुन्छु ।
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.
मानौँ, मसँग अगमवाणी गर्ने वरदान छ र म लुकेका रहस्यहरू बुझ्न सक्छु र मसँग पहाडहरू हटाउन सक्ने सम्मको विश्वास छ, तर मसँग प्रेम छैन भने म केही पनि होइनँ ।
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.
र मानौँ, मसँग भएका सबै थोकहरू गरिबहरूलाई खुवाउनको लागि दिन्छु अनि मेरो शरीरलाई जलाउन दिन्छु, तर मसँग प्रेम छैन भने मलाई केही पनि फाइदा हुँदैन ।
4 Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous [of others]; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,
प्रेम सहनशील र दयालु हुन्छ । प्रेमले डाह वा घमण्ड गर्दैन । यो अहङ्कारी हुँदैन ।
5 does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,
वा प्रेम रुखो हुँदैन । यसले आफ्नै स्वार्थ खोज्दैन । यो सजिलै रिसाउँदैन न त यसले खराबीको हिसाब राख्छ ।
6 does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,
प्रेम अधार्मिकतामा खुसी हुँदैन । बरु, यो सत्यतामा रमाउँछ ।
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
प्रेमले सबै कुरा सहन्छ; सबै कुरामा विश्वास गर्छ; सबै कुरामा आत्मविश्वासी हुन्छ अनि सबै कुरामा स्थिर रहन्छ ।
8 Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.
प्रेमको कहिलै अन्त्य हुँदैन । अगमवाणीहरू बितेर जानेछन् । भाषाहरू बन्द हुनेछन् । अनि ज्ञान बितेर जानेछ ।
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part:
किनकि हामी थोरै जान्दछौँ र थोरै अगमवाणी बोल्छौँ ।
10 but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.
तर जब सिद्ध आउँछ अनि अपूर्ण कुरा बितेर जानेछ ।
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.
जब म बालक थिएँ बालकले जस्तै बोलेँ र बालकले जस्तै सोचेँ अनि बालकले जस्तै तर्कहरू गरेँ । जब वयस्क भएँ बालकका चालहरू छोडी दिएँ ।
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.
किनकि अहिले हामी ऐनामा अप्रत्यक्ष देख्छौँ, तर त्यस बेला आमने-सामने देख्नेछौँ । अहिले म थोरै जान्दछु, तर त्यस बेला म पूर्ण रूपमा जान्नेछु, जसरी म पूर्ण रूपमा जानिएको छु ।
13 And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these [is] love.
तर अब यी तिनवटा कुरा रहन्छन्: विश्वास, भविष्यको निश्चयता र प्रेम । तर यी सबैमा सर्वोत्तमचाहिँ प्रेम नै हो ।
