1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
Ata neni paweza kutakula luga zya wantu na zya wantumintumi wa kumpindi, kumbiti pawera nahera mafiliru, neni wera gambira lidebi lyahera shintu ama kengeli.
2 And 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 have not love, I am nothing.
Weza kayi kuwera na lifupu lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, panuvimana bada zyoseri na kumana kila shintu, weza kuwera na njimiru ya kuyihamiziya migongu, kumbiti pawera nahera mafiliru neni nashintu ndiri.
3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
Pandaviya ulunda waneni woseri na kuwapanana wahushu, kayi pandaviya nshimba yaneni ilunguziwi motu, handa pawera nahera mafiliru neni hapeni mpati shintu.
4 Love suffereth long, [and] is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Yakawera na mafiliru kahepeleri na utanga na yakawera na mafiliru kahera weya, hapeni kaweri na malingisi ama kalitumba.
5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;
Yakawera na mafiliru hapeni kakosi ligoya, hapeni kasakuli mota yakuwi mweni na hapeni kaweri na maya kanongola longola na hapeni katuli mumoyu vintu vidoda vyawamtendiriti.
6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;
Mafiliru hapeni gasekeleri ukondola, kumbiti gasekelera unakaka.
7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Muntu yakawera na mafiliru kahepeleri goseri na kajimilira goseri na kakanka goseri.
8 Love never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall be done away; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall be done away.
Mafiliru gahera upeleru. Handa kwana mafupu ga kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu, aga hagawuki lishaka limu, mafupu ga kutakula luga zyazimanika ndiri hagawuki, handa kwana kuvimana hakupiti.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part:
Toziya mafupu ga kuvimana vyoseri gamalilika ndiri na lifupu lyatwenga lya kutunga ujumbi wa Mlungu likamilika ndiri.
10 but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.
Mlungu hakavikamilishi vyoseri, shilii shashikamilika ndiri, hashiwuki.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.
Paweriti namwana ntakuliti shiwana, nuvimaniti shiwana, nuliholiti shiwana. Kumbiti vinu neni namuntu mkulu, vitwatira vya shiwana nuvileka.
12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I have been known.
Shatuwona vinu shiwoneka gambira sheni shashiwoneka ndiri weri mushiloleru, kumbiti shakapanu hatuwoni sheni kwa sheni. Vinu nuvimana katepu hera, kumbiti shakapanu hanuvimani hweri goseri, gambira Mlungu ntambu yakamana neni.
13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
Vinu gankulikala matatu aga, njimiru na litumbiru na mafiliru, kumbiti lyaliwera likulu mugoseri ndo mafiliru.
