1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal.
Nambi kandicikonsha kwamba milaka ya bantu nambi mulaka ngobakute kwamba bangelo, nomba na kandi ndabula lusuno ndakoshaneti mulangu nambi ngoma ilayobekenga.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
Nambi ndalapewa cipo ca kwamba mulumbe wa Lesa nambi ndalapewa cipo ca kwinshiba bintu byonse ne kwinshiba byasolekwa. Nambi kankute lushomo lunene lwa kwinseti nganyamuna milundu nekwitwala pamusena naumbi nakandi ndabula lusuno paliya ncombele.
3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
Nambi buboni bwakame bonse ndibuyabila bapenshi nambi nduyaba mubili wakame kwambeti bantu bautente pamulilo, nomba kandi ndabula lusuno paliya cakame cilipo.
4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
Lusuno lwekalikana kayi lwaina kwine, luliya munyono, nkalukute kulilumbaisha nambi kulikonempesha sobwe.
5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs;
Lusuno luliya minyungwe, nkaluliyanda kayi nkalukalala nambi kusunga cintu kumoyo.
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
Nkalukondwa ne bintu byabula kululama, nsombi lukute kukondwa ne cancine ncine.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Lusuno lukute kulekelela byonse, lukute kupa lushomo, nkalutyompwa bwangu, lukute kupita mu makatasho alabangilingeti mulilo.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
Lusuno nteti lukapwe, bushinshimi nibukapwe, kwamba mu milaka yabula kwishibikwa nikukapwe, nawo mano a bantu nakapwe.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
Kwinshiba bintu ne kukambauka kwetu nkakwesulila.
10 but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with.
Neco cakwana cakashika ico cabula kukwana nicikapwe.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become an adult, I have put away childish things.
Mpondalikuba mwana, kwamba, micito ne kuyeya kwakame kwalikubeti kwakanike. Lino mpondala kula mushimba bintu byonse bya ku butwanike ndalabileka.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
Bintu mbyotulabononga cino cindi eti mucilola nkabilabonekenga cena. Nomba pacindico nitukabibone cena. Pacino cindi kwinshiba kwetu nkakwesula, nsombi pacindico nitukanyumfwishishe cena mbuli Lesa ncanjinshi cena.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Pa cino cindi pali ibi bintu bitatu, lushomo, kupembelela ne lusuno. Nomba pali ibi bitatu lusuno elwapitapo.
