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.
Hati ngati nikalongelayi kwa chiluga za vandu na hati ya vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu ngati nivii lepi na uganu nene nivii ndu ngati lwami lwa lidebe amala njeketu.
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.
Hati ngati, nihotola kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga, hati ngati nimanya mfiyu woha wa umanya wa vindu vyoha, hati ngati nivii na sadika hati kuhotola kuwusa hitumbi, nambu ngati nivii lepi na uganu chindu lepi.
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.
Nikawusayi vindu vyangu vyoha na kuvapela vangangu, na kangi nikauwusa higa yangu iyochwayi, ngati kawaka uganu yikunitangatila lepi chindu.
4 Loue suffreth long: it is bountifull: loue enuieth not: loue doeth not boast it selfe: it is not puffed vp:
Mweavi na uganu isindimala na ivya mbwina, ivya na uganu ivya lepi na wihu, imeka lepi.
5 It doeth no vncomely thing: it seeketh not her owne things: it is not prouoked to anger: it thinketh not euill:
Mundu mweavi na uganu ivya na utopesa, ilonda lepi chiyonjokesu chaki mwene, ivya lepi na ligoga, ikumbuka lepi gahakau.
6 It reioyceth not in iniquitie, but reioyceth in the trueth:
Mundu mweavi na uganu ihekelela lepi uhakau, nambu ihekelela uchakaka.
7 It suffreth all things: it beleeueth all things: it hopeth all things: it endureth all things.
Mundu mweavi na uganu itotokela lepi magono goha isindimala na isadika na ihuvalila.
8 Loue doeth neuer fall away, though that prophecyings be abolished, or the tongues cease, or knowledge vanish away.
Uganu wangali mwishu. Ngati kuvi na hipanji vya kukokosa Ujumbi wa Chapanga, ndi yati viyaga ligono limonga, ngati chipanji cha kujova luga ya chiyehe yati yiyaga, ngati kuvi umanya yene yati yipita.
9 For we knowe in part, and we prophecie in part.
Kujiwula kwitu na kumanya vindu lepi kutimili mewawa kujova kwitu ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga kutimili lepi.
10 But when that which is perfect, is come, then that which is in part, shalbe abolished.
Nambu chila chechikamiliki pechibwela, vyoha vyangakamilika yati viwuka.
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.
Panavili namwana kang'enya najovayi chimwana, namanyili chimwana, naholalili chimwana. Nambu hinu, muni namvaha, mambu gachiwana nigalekili.
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.
Chetilola hinu ngati pamihu pepatitili muchilolilo, nambu mwanakandahi yati tilolana mihu kwa mihu. Hinu nimanyili padebe ndu, nambu mwanakandahi yati nimanya chitimilifu, ngati Chapanga cheanimanyili nene nganila.
13 And nowe abideth faith, hope and loue, euen these three: but the chiefest of these is loue.
Hinu gasindimali mambu aga gadatu, sadika, huvalila na uganu neju ya goha ndi uganu.
