1 Corinthians 13
1 If I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not divine love, I have become a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Ba n ya bi maadi bi nisaliba mabuoli Leni malekinba ya mabuoli kuli, ki naa pia mi buama, N baa tie nani ya kudi n mua bi nani ban pua ya longa ke ki tiendi ku fuugu yeni.
2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not divine love, I am nothing.
Ba n ya bi baa mi mawangima paabu, ki go bandi yaala n duagi kuli, ki go baa mi bandima kuli, Baa n ya pia ya dandanli n baa fidi ki fuadi a juana, N ya pia mi buama mii tie pu.
3 And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I may give my body that I shall be burnt, and have not divine love, I am profited as to nothing.
Baa n ya bi boagidi n piama kuli ki puni a luoda, Baa n ya bi baa teni n gbanandi Ban ju mi fatama, N yaa pia mi buama, li kan todi nni liba.
4 Divine love suffers long; divine love is kind; divine love envies not; does not make a display of itself, is not puffed up,
Mi buama pia li junli ki go hanbidi. Mi buama ki pia nunponli. Maa kpiagidi mi yuli, Maa gbengidi mi yuli mo.
5 does not behave itself uncomely, seeks not its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
Maa pia boandi, Maa lingi yaala hani mi yuli po bebe, Maa fiindi mi pali, Maa kpaagi yaala n bia.
6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but it rejoices in the truth;
Maa mangidi mi pali leni yaala ki tiegi, Ama mi mangidi mi pali leni i moamoani.
7 it bears all things, it believes all things, it hopes all things, it endures all things.
Mi buama tiendi sugili li bonla kuli po. Mi pia li dandanli leni mi suginma Leni li junli li bonla kuli nni.
8 Divine love never falls: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Mi buama ki pia gbenma. Mi mawangima baa pendi, Mi malanma baa gbeni, Mi bandima moko baa pendi.
9 For we know in part, and prophesy in part:
Kelima moala ti bandima tie bonjenga bebe, Ti mawangima moko tie bonjenga bebe.
10 but when the perfect may come, that which is in part shall be done away.
Ama yaala n tie bonmunli ya ti cua ki bonjenga baa pendi.
11 When I was an infant, I talked like an infant, I thought like an infant, I reasoned like an infant: when I became a man, I put away the things of the infant.
Min den tie biga ya yogunu, N den maadi nani ki biga yeni, Ki bungi nani ki biga yeni, Ki go kpaagi nani ki biga yeni, Ama moala ke tua ja, N cedi li bonwaabonla.
12 For we now see through a mirror in an enigma; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know perfectly even as I am perfectly known.
Moala ti laa likui nani tin nua ti nannanli ki maduubiga nni maama, Ke laa doagidi cain. Laa yogunu, ti baa le likuli ki nunga leni kiyaga. Moala, yin bani bonjega, Li bonmunli ya ti cua ya yogunu N baa bandi cain nani U tienu n bani cain maama,
13 But now abide faith, hope, divine love, these three; but the greatest of these is divine love.
Moala bonla taa n ye ki kan pendi, Lani n tie li dandanli, mi sugima leni mi buama, likuli siiga yaala n cie tie mi buama.
