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.
たとひ我もろもろの國人の言および御使の言を語るとも、愛なくば鳴る鐘や響く鐃鈸の如し。
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.
假令われ預言する能力あり、又すべての奧義と凡ての知識とに達し、また山を移すほどの大なる信仰ありとも、愛なくば數ふるに足らず。
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.
たとひ我わが財産をことごとく施し、又わが體を燒かるる爲に付すとも、愛なくば我に益なし。
4 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
愛は寛容にして慈悲あり。愛は妬まず、愛は誇らず、驕らず、
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
非禮を行はず、己の利を求めず、憤ほらず、人の惡を念はず、
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
不義を喜ばずして、眞理の喜ぶところを喜び、
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
凡そ事 忍び、おほよそ事 信じ、おほよそ事 望み、おほよそ事 耐ふるなり。
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.
愛は長久までも絶ゆることなし。然れど預言は廢れ、異言は止み、知識もまた廢らん。
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
それ我らの知るところ全からず、我らの預言も全からず。
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
全き者の來らん時は全からぬもの廢らん。
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.
われ童子の時は語ることも童子のごとく、思ふことも童子の如く、論ずる事も童子の如くなりしが、人と成りては童子のことを棄てたり。
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.
今われらは鏡をもて見るごとく見るところ朧なり。然れど、かの時には顏を對せて相 見ん。今わが知るところ全からず、然れど、かの時には我が知られたる如く全く知るべし。
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
げに信仰と希望と愛と此の三つの者は限りなく存らん、而して其のうち最も大なるは愛なり。
