1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of messengers, and do not have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;
मानौँ, म मानिसहरू र स्वर्गदूतहरूको भाषामा बोल्छु, तर मसँग प्रेम छैन भने म हल्ला मच्चाउने घण्टा र झ्याइँ-झ्याइँ गर्ने झ्याली मात्र हुन्छु ।
2 and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and do not have love, I am nothing;
मानौँ, मसँग अगमवाणी गर्ने वरदान छ र म लुकेका रहस्यहरू बुझ्न सक्छु र मसँग पहाडहरू हटाउन सक्ने सम्मको विश्वास छ, तर मसँग प्रेम छैन भने म केही पनि होइनँ ।
3 and if I give away all my goods to feed others, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and do not have love, I am profited nothing.
र मानौँ, मसँग भएका सबै थोकहरू गरिबहरूलाई खुवाउनको लागि दिन्छु अनि मेरो शरीरलाई जलाउन दिन्छु, तर मसँग प्रेम छैन भने मलाई केही पनि फाइदा हुँदैन ।
4 Love is long-suffering, it is kind, love does not envy, love does not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,
प्रेम सहनशील र दयालु हुन्छ । प्रेमले डाह वा घमण्ड गर्दैन । यो अहङ्कारी हुँदैन ।
5 does not act unseemly, does not seek its own things, is not provoked, does not impute evil,
वा प्रेम रुखो हुँदैन । यसले आफ्नै स्वार्थ खोज्दैन । यो सजिलै रिसाउँदैन न त यसले खराबीको हिसाब राख्छ ।
6 [does] not rejoice over unrighteousness, and rejoices with the truth;
प्रेम अधार्मिकतामा खुसी हुँदैन । बरु, यो सत्यतामा रमाउँछ ।
7 it bears all things, it believes all, it hopes all, it endures all.
प्रेमले सबै कुरा सहन्छ; सबै कुरामा विश्वास गर्छ; सबै कुरामा आत्मविश्वासी हुन्छ अनि सबै कुरामा स्थिर रहन्छ ।
8 Love never fails; and whether [there be] prophecies, they will become useless; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will become useless;
प्रेमको कहिलै अन्त्य हुँदैन । अगमवाणीहरू बितेर जानेछन् । भाषाहरू बन्द हुनेछन् । अनि ज्ञान बितेर जानेछ ।
9 for we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
किनकि हामी थोरै जान्दछौँ र थोरै अगमवाणी बोल्छौँ ।
10 and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part will become useless.
तर जब सिद्ध आउँछ अनि अपूर्ण कुरा बितेर जानेछ ।
11 When I was a child, I was speaking as a child, I was thinking as a child, I was reasoning as a child, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the child;
जब म बालक थिएँ बालकले जस्तै बोलेँ र बालकले जस्तै सोचेँ अनि बालकले जस्तै तर्कहरू गरेँ । जब वयस्क भएँ बालकका चालहरू छोडी दिएँ ।
12 for we now see obscurely through a mirror, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I will fully know, as I was also known;
किनकि अहिले हामी ऐनामा अप्रत्यक्ष देख्छौँ, तर त्यस बेला आमने-सामने देख्नेछौँ । अहिले म थोरै जान्दछु, तर त्यस बेला म पूर्ण रूपमा जान्नेछु, जसरी म पूर्ण रूपमा जानिएको छु ।
13 and now there remains faith, hope, love—these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.
तर अब यी तिनवटा कुरा रहन्छन्: विश्वास, भविष्यको निश्चयता र प्रेम । तर यी सबैमा सर्वोत्तमचाहिँ प्रेम नै हो ।
