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.
A sị na m na-asụ asụsụ dị iche iche nke ndị mmadụ maọbụ nke ndị mmụọ ozi, ma ahụghị m mmadụ ibe m nʼanya, abụ m naanị ogene na-eme ụzụ maọbụ mbadamba efere na-ada ụda.
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.
A sịkwa na m nwere onyinye ibu amụma, bụrụ onye pụrụ ikwu ihe niile gaje ime nʼoge dị nʼihu, na onye maara ihe niile, a sịkwa na m nwere okwukwe nke m pụrụ isite na ya nye ugwu buru ibu iwu sị ya site nʼebe ọ nọ gaa nʼebe ọzọ, ma ahụghị m mmadụ ibe m nʼanya, abụghị m ihe ọbụla.
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.
A sịkwa na m ewere ihe niile m nwere nye ndị ogbenye, werekwa anụ ahụ m nye ka ere ya ọkụ nʼihi ka m nyaa isi, ihe ndị a niile abaghị uru, ma m enweghị ịhụnanya.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Ịhụnanya na-enwe ogologo ntachiobi, na-enwekwa obi ebere. Ọ dịghị ekwo ekworo, ọ naghị enwe anya ukwu, ọ naghị anya isi. Ọ nakwaghị ebuli onwe ya elu.
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Ọ naghị eme ihe na-akpasu iwe, ọ naghị achọ ihe nke naanị ya, ọ naghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ. Ọ nakwaghị agụkọ ihe ọjọọ niile e mere ya.
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Ọ dịghị aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihe ọjọọ, kama ọ na-aṅụrị nʼeziokwu.
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Ọ na-edi ihe niile, ọ na-ekwerekwa ihe niile, ọ na-enwekwa olileanya na-anagide ihe ọbụla dapụtara.
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.
Ịhụnanya adịghị agwụ agwụ. Ma ibu amụma niile ga-emesịa kwụsị, onyinye ịsụ asụsụ dị iche iche ga-akwụsịkwa. Otu a, ihe ọmụma niile ga-agabiga.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
Nʼihi na ọmụma anyị ezughị oke, ibu amụma anyị ezukwaghị oke.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
Ma mgbe anyị ruru nʼizuoke, ezughị oke agaghị adịkwa.
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.
Mgbe m bụ nwata, ekwuru m okwu dịka nwata, echiche m niile bụ echiche nwata. Izuzu obi m niile bụkwa nke nwata. Ma mgbe m toro ghọọ dimkpa, adịghịkwa m akpa agwa dịka nwata ọzọ.
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.
Ugbu a, anyị na-ahụ inyogho inyogho dịka anyị na-ele anya nʼenyo ma mgbe ahụ anyị ga-ahụ ihu na ihu. Ugbu a, ihe m mara ezughị oke, ma mgbe ahụ aga m amazu, dịka m bụ onye a mazuru.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Ọ dị ihe atọ na-adịgide adịgide. Ha bụ okwukwe, olileanya, na ịhụnanya. Ma nʼime ha niile, ihe kachasị ha niile bụ ịhụnanya.
