1 Corinthians 13
1 Although with the tongues of men, I be speaking, and of messengers, and have not, love, I have become resounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;
Si mwen pale avèk lang a lèzòm ak zanj yo, men mwen pa gen lanmou, mwen tankou yon klòch k ap fè gwo bwi oubyen yon senbal k ap sone.
2 And, though I have [the gift of] prophesying, and know all sacred secrets, and all knowledge, —and though I have all faith, so as to be removing mountains, and have not, love, I am, nothing;
Si m gen don pwofesi, e konnen tout mistè ak tout konesans; epi si mwen gen tout lafwa, kòmsi pou m ta kapab deplase mòn yo, men mwen pa gen lanmou, mwen pa anyen.
3 And, though I morsel out all my goods, —and though I deliver up my body, that I may boast, and have not, love, I am profited, nothing.
Si mwen bay tout sa ke m posede pou bay manje a pòv yo, e si mwen livre kò m pou brile, men mwen pa gen lanmou, sa p ap rapòte m anyen.
4 Love, is patient, is gracious. Love, is not envious, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Lanmou pasyan, lanmou dous; li pa jalou. Lanmou pa vante tèt li e li pa awogan.
5 Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base,
Li pa aji malonètman, ni li pa chache pwòp enterè pa l. Li pa fè kòlè pa teni kont de mal li resevwa.
6 Rejoiceth not over unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in sympathy with truth, —
Li pa rejwi nan lenjistis, men rejwi nan verite a.
7 All things, covereth, all things, believeth, all things, hopeth, all things, endureth.
Li sipòte tout bagay, kwè tout bagay, espere tout bagay, andire tout bagay.
8 Love, at no time, faileth; —but, whether prophesyings, they shall be done away, whether tongues, they shall cease, whether gaining knowledge, it shall be done away;
Lanmou pa janm disparèt. Si gen don pwofesi, y ap vin disparèt. Si gen don lang, yo va fini. Si gen konesans, li va anile.
9 For, in part, are we gaining knowledge, and, in part, are we prophesying, —
Paske nou konnen yon ti pati e nou pwofetize yon ti pati;
10 But, as soon as that which is complete is come, that which is in part, shall be done away.
men lè sa ki pafè a vini, sa ki poko konplè a va disparèt.
11 When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, to prefer as child, to reason as a child: now I have become a man, I have laid aside the things of the child!
Lè m te timoun, mwen te konn pale tankou yon timoun, panse tankou yon timoun, rezone tankou yon timoun. Lè m te vin gran, mwen te kite bagay timoun yo.
12 For we see, as yet, through a dim window, obscurely, but, then, face to face: as yet, I gain knowledge, in part, but, then, shall I fully know, even as I was also fully known.
Paske koulye a nou wè twoub, konsi nan yon glas, men answit nou va wè fasafas. Koulye a m konnen yon ti pati, men answit, mwen va konnen tout bagay menm jan ke Bondye konnen tout bagay de mwen an.
13 But, now abide—faith, hope, love, —these three; but, the greatest of these, is, love.
Men koulye a, lafwa, lesperans, ak lanmou; rete twa bagay sa yo. Men pi gran nan bagay sa yo, se lanmou.
