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.

Ka ne ko ʻeku lea ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe kau tangata mo e kau ʻāngelo, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae ʻofa, kuo u tatau mo e ukamea pakihi mo e simipale tatangi.

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.

Pea kapau teu faʻa kikite, peau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakalilolilo kotoa pē, mo e ʻilo kotoa pē; pea kapau te u maʻu ʻae tui kotoa pē, teu faʻa hiki ai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻikai te u maʻu mo e ʻofa, ko e meʻa noa pē au.

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.

Pea kapau te u ʻatu ʻeku ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke fafanga ʻaki [ʻae masiva], pea kapau te u foaki hoku sino ke tutu, pea ʻikai te u maʻu mo e ʻofa, ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻaonga kiate au.

4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,

‌ʻOku kātaki fuoloa ʻae ʻofa, pea ʻoku angalelei ia; ʻoku ʻikai meheka ʻae ʻofa; ʻoku ʻikai fielahi ʻae ʻofa, pe fakafuofuolahi ia,

5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs;

‌ʻOku ʻikai ke fai taʻengali ha meʻa, ʻoku ʻikai ke kumi ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana, ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻitangofua, ʻoku ʻikai ke mahalo kovi;

6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

‌ʻOku ʻikai ke fiefia ʻi he angahala, ka ʻoku fiefia ia ʻi he moʻoni;

7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

‌ʻOku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku tui ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku kātaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.

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.

‌ʻOku ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ʻo ngata ʻae ʻofa: ka ko e ngaahi kikite, ʻe ngata ia; pe ko e ngaahi lea, ʻe ngata ia; pe ko e ʻilo [meʻa ]ʻe mole atu ia.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

He ʻoku tau ʻilo fakakonga pe, pea kikite fakakonga pe.

10 but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with.

Pea ʻoka hokosia ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa, ʻe mole atu ʻaia ʻoku fakakonga pe.

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.

‌ʻI heʻeku kei siʻi, ne u lea fakatamasiʻi, peau ʻilo fakatamasiʻi, peau mahalo fakatamasiʻi: ka ʻi heʻeku hoko ko e tangata, ne u tukuange ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatamasiʻi.

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.

He ko eni, ʻoku tau fakaʻasiʻasi ʻi he sioʻata fakapoʻupoʻuli; ka ʻe ʻi ai ʻae mata ki he mata: ʻoku ou ʻilo fakakonga eni; ka te u ʻilo ai, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko hono ʻiloʻi au.

13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ai ʻae tui, mo e ʻamanaki lelei, mo e ʻofa, ko e tolu ni; ka ko ia ʻoku lahi hake ʻi ai ko e ʻofa.
