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.
Hlang kah neh puencawn kah olcal, ka cal dae lungnah ka khueh pawt atah rhohum a cai neh tlaklak a kii bangla ka om.
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.
Tonghma ol khaw ka dang tih olhuep boeih neh mingnah boeih ka ming, tlang ke puen thai ham tangnah cungkuem ka khueh dae, lungnah ka khueh pawt atah a honghi lam ni ka om.
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.
Ka khuehtawn te boeih ka cah tih hmai ah hoeh ham ka pum te ka paek dae, lungnah ka khueh pawt atah ka hoeikhang moenih.
4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
Lungnah tah a thinsen, lungnah loh a rhen, lungnah tah thatlai pawh, hoemdam pawh, hoemdawk pawh.
5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs;
savek pawh, amah ham toem pawh, umyaa pawh, a thae te kuem pawh.
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
Boethae te omngaih thil pawh. Oltak dongah ni a omngaih.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
A cungkuem te a hlipdah tih, a cungkuem te a tangnah. a cungkuem te a ngaiuep, a cungkuem te a ueh.
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.
Lungnah tah cungku pawh. Tedae tonghma ol khaw hmata ni. Ol khaw paa ni, mingnah khaw bawt ni.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
Cungvang la m'ming uh dongah cungvang la m'phong uh.
10 but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with.
Tedae a soep la a pawk vaengah a cungvang tah a hmil ni.
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.
Cahmang la ka om vaengah cahmang bangla ka cal, cahmang bangla ka poek, cahmang bangla ka ngai, hlang la ka coeng vaengah cahmang kah ka omih te ka voeih.
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.
Hmaidan dongah lumrhanah la m'hmuh uh pueng dae te vaengah maelhmai neh maelhmai tong uh ni. Tahae ah a cungvang la ka ming dae te vaengah ming tangtae bangla ka ming van ni.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Tangnah, ngaiuepnah, lungnah, he rhoek pathum he kuei tangloeng coeng. He rhoek khuiah a tanglue tah lungnah ni.
