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.
Nkali meleketaga ibheleketo yowe ya bhandunji na ya ashimalaika, monaga nepelaga kupingana na bhandu, nne njibha mbuti lidebhe lyangali shindu eu kengele.
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.
Kabhili, ngolaga kalama ja londola na lunguya ntenga gwa a Nnungu, na kwiimanya indu ya nng'iyo na ya lunda na kola ngulupai ja malila, nkali kombola kuamiya itumbi, ikabheje nepelaga pingana na bhandunji, nne nngabha shindu.
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.
Ndolaga indu yangu yowe nikwaapanganga bhaalaga, nkali niishoyaga shiilu shangu shijokwe moto, nepelaga pingana na bhandu, shakwa sha mbwaila.
4 Loue suffreth long: it is bountifull: loue enuieth not: loue doeth not boast it selfe: it is not puffed vp:
Apingana na bhandu, anakwiipililila, na anakola uguja, na jwangali lupimililo, na akakwiipuna na wala jwangali miinjili.
5 It doeth no vncomely thing: it seeketh not her owne things: it is not prouoked to anger: it thinketh not euill:
Apingana na bhandu, anakwiitimalika na akaloleya pwaida jakwe nnyene, wala akatumbala na akakwiibhika muntima yangali ya mmbone,
6 It reioyceth not in iniquitie, but reioyceth in the trueth:
akaangalila yangali ya mmbone, ikabhe anaangalila ili ya kweli.
7 It suffreth all things: it beleeueth all things: it hopeth all things: it endureth all things.
Apingana na bhandu akaatotoshela, akaaleka kulupalila na anakwiipililila yowe.
8 Loue doeth neuer fall away, though that prophecyings be abolished, or the tongues cease, or knowledge vanish away.
Kupingana na bhandu, kwangali mpelo. Monaga kupagwaga kulunguya ntenga gwa a Nnnugu, shikupele, kupagwaga kubheleketa shibheleketo sha ambi, shikupele, nkali lupagwaga lumanyio, shikupite.
9 For we knowe in part, and we prophecie in part.
Pabha indu itukwiimanya na londola ishokope.
10 But when that which is perfect, is come, then that which is in part, shalbe abolished.
Ikabheje malanga gushigaishe gatimilile gala, gowe gangatimilila shigapele.
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.
Punaliji mwana jwanshoko nashinkubheleketa malinga mwana, nashinkumanya malinga mwana, natendaga ganishiya malinga mwana. Ikabheje ngakuleje, indu yowe ya shigwana njileka.
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.
Pabha itukwiibhona nnaino, ni mbuti shiwili nshioo tukawiibhona ukoto, ikabheje gene malangago shitwiibhone ukoto. Nnaino ingwiimanya ishokope, ikabheje kungai shiniimanye yowe ukoto, malinga a Nnungu shibhaamanya nne.
13 And nowe abideth faith, hope and loue, euen these three: but the chiefest of these is loue.
Bhai nnaino ilonjeya itatu, ngulupai na kukulupalila na pingana, ikabheje shikulungwa kaje ni kupingana.
