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.
Menm si mwen ta konn pale tout kalite lang moun pale ansanm ak lang zanj yo pale, si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', bèl pawòl mwen yo pa pi plis pase yon tanbou k'ap fè anpil bwi, pase yon klòch k'ap sonnen.
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.
Menm si mwen ta gen don pou m' fè konnen mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, menm si mwen ta gen tout kalite konesans, menm si mwen ta konprann tout ti sekrè ki kache, menm si mwen ta gen konfyans anpil nan Bondye pou m' fè mòn yo chanje plas, si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', mwen pa anyen.
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.
Menm si mwen ta bay tout byen mwen yo, menm si mwen ta bay kò m' pou yo boule l', si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', sa p'ap sèvi m' anyen.
4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li gen pasyans, li gen bon kè, li p'ap anvye sò lòt moun. Li p'ap fè grandizè, li p'ap gonfle ak lògèy.
5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs;
Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li p'ap fè anyen ki pou fè moun wont, li p'ap chache avantaj pa l', li p'ap fè kòlè, li p'ap kenbe moun nan kè.
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li p'ap pran plezi l' nan sa ki mal, li pran plezi l' nan sa ki vre.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li sipòte tout bagay: nan nenpòt ki sitiyasyon, li toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye, li p'ap janm pèdi espwa, l'ap toujou moutre jan li gen pasyans.
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.
renmen pa janm fini. Pouvwa pou bay mesaj ki soti nan men Bondye a pa la pou tout tan. Pouvwa pou pale langaj gen pou fini yon lè, konesans gen pou disparèt.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
Paske, sa nou konnen, nou pa fin konnen l' nèt. Ata mesaj ki soti nan Bondye yo, nou pa fin bay yo nèt.
10 but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with.
Men, lè sa ki bon nèt la va vini, sa ki poko fin bon an gen pou l' disparèt.
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.
Lè m' te timoun, mwen te pale tankou timoun, mwen te konprann tankou timoun, mwen te fè tèt mwen travay tankou timoun. Men, koulye a mwen fin gran, mwen kite tou sa timoun te konn fè.
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.
Konsa tou, sa nou wè koulye a, se tankou yon pòtre n'ap gade yon jan twoub twoub nan yon glas. Men, pita nou pral wè fasafas. Koulye a nou pa fin konn tout bagay. Men, pita n'a konnen nèt ale menm jan Bondye konnen nou an.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Koulye a se twa bagay sa yo ki toujou la: se konfyans, se espwa, se renmen. Men, nan twa bagay sa yo, se renmen ki pi gran.
