< 1 Corinthians 13 >
1 If I were to have eloquence in human languages—even the language of angels—but have no love, then I would only be an echoing gong or a clashing cymbal.
མརྟྱསྭརྒཱིཡཱཎཱཾ བྷཱཥཱ བྷཱཥམཱཎོ྅ཧཾ ཡདི པྲེམཧཱིནོ བྷཝེཡཾ ཏརྷི ཝཱདཀཏཱལསྭརཱུཔོ ནིནཱདཀཱརིབྷེརཱིསྭརཱུཔཤྩ བྷཝཱམི།
2 If I were to speak prophecies, to know every secret mystery and be completely knowledgeable, and if I were able to have so much faith I could move mountains, but have no love, then I am nothing.
ཨཔརཉྩ ཡདྱཧམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཱིཡཱདེཤཱཌྷྱཿ སྱཱཾ སཪྻྭཱཎི གུཔྟཝཱཀྱཱནི སཪྻྭཝིདྱཱཉྩ ཛཱནཱིཡཱཾ པཱུརྞཝིཤྭཱསཿ སན྄ ཤཻལཱན྄ སྠཱནཱནྟརཱིཀརྟྟུཾ ཤཀྣུཡཱཉྩ ཀིནྟུ ཡདི པྲེམཧཱིནོ བྷཝེཡཾ ཏརྷྱགཎནཱིཡ ཨེཝ བྷཝཱམི།
3 If I were to donate everything I own to the poor, or if I were to sacrifice myself to be burned as a martyr, and have no love, then I gain nothing.
ཨཔརཾ ཡདྱཧམ྄ ཨནྣདཱནེན སཪྻྭསྭཾ ཏྱཛེཡཾ དཱཧནཱཡ སྭཤརཱིརཾ སམརྤཡེཡཉྩ ཀིནྟུ ཡདི པྲེམཧཱིནོ བྷཝེཡཾ ཏརྷི ཏཏྶཪྻྭཾ མདརྠཾ ནིཥྥལཾ བྷཝཏི།
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not boastful. Love is not proud.
པྲེམ ཙིརསཧིཥྞུ ཧིཏཻཥི ཙ, པྲེམ ནིརྡྭེཥམ྄ ཨཤཋཾ ནིརྒཪྻྭཉྩ།
5 Love does not act improperly, or insist on having its own way. Love is not argumentative and doesn't keep a record of wrongs.
ཨཔརཾ ཏཏ྄ ཀུཏྶིཏཾ ནཱཙརཏི, ཨཱཏྨཙེཥྚཱཾ ན ཀུརུཏེ སཧསཱ ན ཀྲུདྷྱཏི པརཱནིཥྚཾ ན ཙིནྟཡཏི,
6 Love takes no delight in evil but celebrates the truth.
ཨདྷརྨྨེ ན ཏུཥྱཏི སཏྱ ཨེཝ སནྟུཥྱཏི།
7 Love never gives up, keeps on trusting, stays confident, and remains patient whatever happens.
ཏཏ྄ སཪྻྭཾ ཏིཏིཀྵཏེ སཪྻྭཏྲ ཝིཤྭསིཏི སཪྻྭཏྲ བྷདྲཾ པྲཏཱིཀྵཏེ སཪྻྭཾ སཧཏེ ཙ།
8 Love never fails. Prophecies will come to an end. Tongues will become silent. Knowledge will become useless.
པྲེམྣོ ལོཔཿ ཀདཱཔི ན བྷཝིཥྱཏི, ཨཱིཤྭརཱིཡཱདེཤཀཐནཾ ལོཔྶྱཏེ པརབྷཱཥཱབྷཱཥཎཾ ནིཝརྟྟིཥྱཏེ ཛྙཱནམཔི ལོཔཾ ཡཱསྱཏི།
9 For our knowledge and our prophetic understanding are incomplete.
ཡཏོ྅སྨཱཀཾ ཛྙཱནཾ ཁཎྜམཱཏྲམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཱིཡཱདེཤཀཐནམཔི ཁཎྜམཱཏྲཾ།
10 But when completeness comes, then what is incomplete disappears.
ཀིནྟྭསྨཱསུ སིདྡྷཏཱཾ གཏེཥུ ཏཱནི ཁཎྜམཱཏྲཱཎི ལོཔཾ ཡཱསྱནྟེ།
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I grew up I left behind such child-like ways.
བཱལྱཀཱལེ྅ཧཾ བཱལ ཨིཝཱབྷཱཥེ བཱལ ཨིཝཱཙིནྟཡཉྩ ཀིནྟུ ཡཽཝནེ ཛཱཏེ ཏཏྶཪྻྭཾ བཱལྱཱཙརཎཾ པརིཏྱཀྟཝཱན྄།
12 At the moment we peer into a mirror's dim reflection, but then we shall see face to face. For now I only have partial knowledge, but then I shall know completely, just as I am completely known.
ཨིདཱནཱིམ྄ ཨབྷྲམདྷྱེནཱསྤཥྚཾ དརྴནམ྄ ཨསྨཱབྷི རླབྷྱཏེ ཀིནྟུ ཏདཱ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ དརྴནཾ ལཔྶྱཏེ། ཨདྷུནཱ མམ ཛྙཱནམ྄ ཨལྤིཥྛཾ ཀིནྟུ ཏདཱཧཾ ཡཐཱཝགམྱསྟཐཻཝཱཝགཏོ བྷཝིཥྱཱམི།
13 Trust, hope, and love last forever—but the most important is love.
ཨིདཱནཱིཾ པྲཏྱཡཿ པྲཏྱཱཤཱ པྲེམ ཙ ཏྲཱིཎྱེཏཱནི ཏིཥྛནྟི ཏེཥཱཾ མདྷྱེ ཙ པྲེམ ཤྲེཥྛཾ།
