1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speake with the tongues of men and Angels, and haue not loue, I am as sounding brasse, or a tinkling cymbal.
Namose ngaŵechete iŵecheto ya ŵandu ni iŵecheto ya achikatumetume ŵa kwinani, naga nganingola unonyelo, ngulandana ni chikungu chachikusona pane njuga.
2 And though I had the gift of prophecie, and knewe all secrets and all knowledge, yea, if I had all faith, so that I could remooue mountaines and had not loue, I were nothing.
Namose nakolaga ntuuka wa kulalichila utenga wa Akunnungu ni kwimanyilila yantemela yose ni kumanyilila kila chindu, namose ngakwete chikulupi chakomboleka kuchityosya chitumbi, naga nganingola unonyelo, une ngaŵa chindu.
3 And though I feede the poore with all my goods, and though I giue my body, that I be burned, and haue not loue, it profiteth me nothing.
Namose natyosyaga ipanje yangu yose ni kwalisya ŵakulaga, namuno nachityosyaga chiilu changu chitiniche pa mooto, naga nganingola unonyelo ngamboka kwakulikose.
4 Loue suffreth long: it is bountifull: loue enuieth not: loue doeth not boast it selfe: it is not puffed vp:
Mundu jwaali ni unonyelo akupililila, ni akusalala ntima, ni ngakukola wiu, ni ngakulifuna, ni ngakulikwesya.
5 It doeth no vncomely thing: it seeketh not her owne things: it is not prouoked to anger: it thinketh not euill:
Mundu jwaali ni unonyelo akwachimbichisya ŵandu ŵane, ni ngakulisosela kupoka kwakwe nsyene, ni ngakutumbila kwachitema, ni ngakukumbuchila yangalumbana.
6 It reioyceth not in iniquitie, but reioyceth in the trueth:
Mundu jwaali ni unonyelo ngakuchinilila chigongomalo nambo akuuchinilila usyene.
7 It suffreth all things: it beleeueth all things: it hopeth all things: it endureth all things.
Mundu jwaali ni unonyelo moŵa gose ngakupwa ntima, ni moŵa gose akukulupilila, ni moŵa gose akulolela pangali kupela ni akuipililila indu yose.
8 Loue doeth neuer fall away, though that prophecyings be abolished, or the tongues cease, or knowledge vanish away.
Unonyelo wangali mbesi. Iŵaga kwana ntuuka wa kulondola tiuiche mbesi, iŵaga kwana ntuuka wa iŵecheto ineine, yeleyo chiimale, pane iŵaga kwana kulijiganya ni kumanyilila indu chikupite.
9 For we knowe in part, and we prophecie in part.
Pakuŵa kulijiganya kwetu ni kwimanyilila indu kuli kwangamalilwa, iyoyo kulalichila kwetu utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu kuli kwangamalilwa.
10 But when that which is perfect, is come, then that which is in part, shalbe abolished.
Nambo Akunnungu chaitende yose iŵe yemalilwe, ni indu yangamalilwa yose chiityochekwe.
11 When I was a childe, I spake as a childe, I vnderstoode as a childe, I thought as a childe: but when I became a man, I put away childish thinges.
Panaliji mwanache jwannandi, naŵechete chiwanache, naimanyi chiwanache, ni naganisisye chiwanache, nambo pangusile indu yachanache yose nesile.
12 For nowe we see through a glasse darkely: but then shall wee see face to face. Nowe I know in part: but then shall I know euen as I am knowen.
Pakuŵa sambano tukulola mpela usyo wangaloleka yambone mlindala, nambo katema ko chitulolegane usyo kwa usyo. Sambano nguimanyilila panondi, nambo katema ko tinaimanye yose kwauchenene mpela Akunnungu yakuti pakumanyilila une kwauchenene.
13 And nowe abideth faith, hope and loue, euen these three: but the chiefest of these is loue.
Nipele, sambano indu itatu yi ni ichitame, chikulupi ni chilolelo ni unonyelo, nambo chindu chachili chechikulungwa kupunda yose, uli unonyelo.
