1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am become a clanging brass, or a clashing cymbal.
Bí èmi tilẹ̀ lè sọ oríṣìíríṣìí èdè tí ènìyàn àti ti angẹli, tí n kò bá sì ní ìfẹ́, mo kàn ń pariwo bí ago lásán ni tàbí bí i kimbali olóhùn gooro.
2 Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Bí mo bá ní ẹ̀bùn ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀, tí mo sì ní òye gbogbo ohun ìjìnlẹ̀, àti gbogbo ìmọ̀, bí mo sì ni gbogbo ìgbàgbọ́ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí mo lè ṣí àwọn òkè ńlá nídìí, tí èmi kò sì ní ìfẹ́, èmi kò jẹ nǹkan kan.
3 And though I sell all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it avails me nothing.
Bí mo bá fi gbogbo nǹkan tí mo ní tọrẹ fún àwọn aláìní, tí mo sì fi ara mi fún ni láti sùn ṣùgbọ́n tí n kò ní ìfẹ́, kò ní èrè kan fún mi.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up,
Ìfẹ́ a máa mú sùúrù, ìfẹ́ a máa ṣeun, ìfẹ́ kì í ṣe ìlara, ìfẹ́ kì í fẹ̀, ìfẹ́ kì í sọ̀rọ̀ ìgbéraga.
5 is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing,
Ìfẹ́ kì í hùwà àìtọ́, kì í wá ohun ara rẹ̀ nìkan. Ìfẹ́ kì í bínú fùfù, ìfẹ́ kì í fi búburú ọmọ ẹnìkejì sínú.
6 but rejoices when the truth rejoices.
Inú ìfẹ́ kì í dùn sí àìṣòótọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n inú rẹ̀ a máa dùn nígbà gbogbo.
7 It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring.
A máa faradà ohun gbogbo sí òtítọ́, a máa gba ohun gbogbo gbọ́, a máa retí ohun gbogbo, a máa fàyàrán ohun gbogbo.
8 Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded.
Ìfẹ́ kì í kùnà láé, kì í sì í yẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá ṣe ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ni, wọn yóò dópin, bí ó bá ṣe ẹ̀bùn ahọ́n ni, wọn yóò dákẹ́, bí ó bá ṣe pé ìmọ̀ ni yóò di asán.
9 For our knowing is imperfect, and our prophesying is imperfect;
Nítorí àwa mọ̀ ní apá kan, àwa sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní apá kan.
10 but when the perfect is come, then the perfect will be done away.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí èyí ti o pé bá dé, èyí tí í ṣe tí apá kan yóò dópin.
11 When I was a child I spoke like a child, felt like a child, thought like a child; now that I am become a man, I have done with childish things.
Nígbà tí mó wà ni èwe, èmi á máa sọ̀rọ̀ bi èwe, èmi a máa mòye bí èwe, èmi a máa gbèrò bí èwe. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí mó di ọkùnrin tán, mo fi ìwà èwe sílẹ̀.
12 For now we see as in a mirror, and are baffled, but then face to face; now I know in fragments, but then shall I understand even as I also have been understood.
Nítorí pé nísinsin yìí àwa ń ríran bàìbàì nínú dígí; nígbà náà a ó rí í lójúkojú. Nísinsin yìí mò mọ̀ pé ní apá kan; nígbà náà èmi o mọ̀ lẹ́kùnrẹ́rẹ́, kódà bí mo ti dí mí mọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
13 Faith, Hope, Love endure - these three; but the greatest of these is Love.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí àwọn nǹkan mẹ́ta wọ̀nyí dúró: ìgbàgbọ́, ìrètí, àti ìfẹ́. Ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí o tóbi jù nínú wọn ni ìfẹ́.
