1 Corinthians 13
1 THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Fa ke ne ke na le mpho ya go kgona go bua dipuo tse dingwe tse ke sa di ithutang le go ka bua puo nngwe le nngwe e e mo legodimong le mo lefatsheng lotlhe, mme ke sa rate ba bangwe, ke tlaa bo ke ne ke tsosa modumo fela.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
Fa ke ne ke na le mpho ya go porofesa ebile ke itse tsotlhe tse di tlaa diragalang mo lobakeng lo lo tlang, ke itsile sengwe le sengwe kaga sengwe le sengwe, mme ke sa rate ba bangwe, go ne go ka dira molemo wa eng? Le fa ke ne ke na le mpho ya tumelo mo e leng gore ke ne ke ka bua le thaba ka e dira gore e sute, ke ne ke tlaa bo ke santse ke sena mosola gotlhelele fa ke sena lorato.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Fa ke abetse bahumanegi sengwe le sengwe se ke nang naso, le fa e le gore ke tshubetswe go rera Mafoko a a Molemo, mme ke ne ke sa rate ba bangwe, go ka bo go sena molemo ope.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Lorato lo pelotelele lo bile lo pelonomi, ga lo pelotshetlha kgotsa lefufa, ga lo ikgantshe kgotsa go ipelafatsa,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
ga lo ikgodise kgotsa ga lo ikgapele ebile ga lo makgakga. Lorato ga lo batle tsela ya lone fela. Ga lo rumolesege kgotsa go amega. Ga lo tshole ka pelo ebile ga lo nke lo tlhokomela le fa ba bangwe ba lo direla phoso.
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Ga lo ko lo itumelela tshiamololo mme lo itumelela boammaaruri ka nako tsotlhe.
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Fa o rata yo mongwe o tlaa nna le boammaaruri mo go ene go sa re sepe gore go a reng. O tlaa aga o dumela mo go ene, o solofela tse di molemo mo go ene, ebile o mo femela ka gale ka boammaaruri.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Dimpho tsotlhe tse di faphegileng le dinonofo tse di tswang kwa Modimong e tlaa re letsatsi lengwe di tle mo bokhutlong, mme lorato lo tswelela ka bosakhutleng. Letsatsi lengwe seporofeso, go bua dipuo tse di sa itsiweng le kitso e e faphegileng, dimpho tse di tlaa nyelela.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
Jaanong re itse go le gonnye fela, le kaga dimpho tsa rona tsa botlhokwa le thero ya ba ba filweng go rera thata. Mme thero ya bone e santse e le bokoa,
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
mme fa se se itekanetseng se tla, se se sa itekanelang se tlaa nyelela.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Mme go ntse jaana: erile ke sa le ngwana ke ne ke bua ebile ke akanya jaaka ngwana. Mme ya re ke nna monna megopolo ya gola go feta ya bonyana jwa me, mme jaanong ke tlogetse dilo tsa sengwana.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Mme fela jalo, re ka bona ra bo ra tlhaloganya go le gonnye fela kaga Modimo, jaaka ekete re lebetse tsabakelo ya gagwe mo seiponeng se se letobo; mme letsatsi lengwe re tlaa mmona fela jaaka a ntse, re lebane mo matlhong. Mme gompieno ke santse ke le mo letobong, mme e tlaa re kwa morago ke tlaa bona sengwe le sengwe sentle; fela jaaka Modimo o bona mo teng ga pelo ya me gompieno.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Go na le dilo di le tharo tse di salang, tumelo, tsholofelo le lorato, mme se se tona mo dilong tse ke lorato.
