1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, 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 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 love, I am 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 bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, 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 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Mundu jwaali ni unonyelo akupililila, ni akusalala ntima, ni ngakukola wiu, ni ngakulifuna, ni ngakulikwesya.
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Mundu jwaali ni unonyelo akwachimbichisya ŵandu ŵane, ni ngakulisosela kupoka kwakwe nsyene, ni ngakutumbila kwachitema, ni ngakukumbuchila yangalumbana.
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Mundu jwaali ni unonyelo ngakuchinilila chigongomalo nambo akuuchinilila usyene.
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, 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 Love 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.
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 know in part, and we prophesy 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 shall be done away.
Nambo Akunnungu chaitende yose iŵe yemalilwe, ni indu yangamalilwa yose chiityochekwe.
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.
Panaliji mwanache jwannandi, naŵechete chiwanache, naimanyi chiwanache, ni naganisisye chiwanache, nambo pangusile indu yachanache yose nesile.
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.
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 now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Nipele, sambano indu itatu yi ni ichitame, chikulupi ni chilolelo ni unonyelo, nambo chindu chachili chechikulungwa kupunda yose, uli unonyelo.
