1 Corinthians 13
1 if the/this/who tongue the/this/who a human to speak and the/this/who angel love then not to have/be to be copper/bronze/coin to resound or cymbal to wail
Loba ngikhuluma ngendimi zabantu lezezingilosi, kodwa ngingelalo uthando, ngiyinsimbi nje ekhalayo loba izenge elincencethayo.
2 and if to have/be prophecy and to know the/this/who mystery all and all the/this/who knowledge and if to have/be all the/this/who faith so mountain to move love then not to have/be none to be
Loba ngilesipho sokuphrofitha, ngingaqedisisa imfihlakalo zonke kanye lokwazi konke, njalo nxa ngilokukholwa okungasusa izintaba, kodwa ngingelalo uthando, kangisilutho.
3 and if to feed/dole out all the/this/who be already me and if to deliver the/this/who body me in order that/to (to boast *N(K)(o)*) love then not to have/be none to help
Loba nginganika abayanga konke engilakho nginikele lomzimba wami emalangabini, kodwa ngingelalo uthando, kangizuzi lutho.
4 the/this/who love to have patience be kind the/this/who love no be eager the/this/who love no to boast no to inflate
Uthando luyabekezela, uthando lulomusa. Kalulamona, kaluzincomi, kaluzigqaji.
5 no to act improperly no to seek the/this/who themself no to provoke no to count the/this/who evil/harm: harm
Kalusisosiqholo, kaluzifuneli okwalo, kaluphangisi ukuthukuthela, kalubambeli zikhwili.
6 no to rejoice upon/to/against the/this/who unrighteousness to rejoice with then the/this/who truth
Uthando kaluthokozeli okubi, kodwa luthokozela iqiniso.
7 all to endure all to trust (in) all to hope/expect all to remain/endure
Luhlezi luvikela, luhlezi lukholwa, luhlezi lusethemba, luhlezi lubekezela.
8 the/this/who love never (to collapse *N(k)O*) whether then prophecy to abate whether tongue to cease whether knowledge to abate
Uthando kalupheli. Kodwa lapho okuleziphrofethi khona, zizaphela, lapho okulezindimi khona, zizathuliswa; lapho okulokwazi khona, kuzakwedlula.
9 out from part (for *NK(o)*) to know and out from part to prophesy
Ngoba sazi ingxenye, njalo siphrofitha ingxenye,
10 when(-ever) then to come/go the/this/who perfect (then *K*) the/this/who out from part to abate
kodwa lapho ukuphelela kufika, ukungapheleli kuyanyamalala.
11 when to be child to speak as/when child to reason as/when child to count as/when child when (then *k*) to be man to abate the/this/who the/this/who child
Ngisesengumntwana, ngakhuluma njengomntwana, ngacabanga njengomntwana, nganakana njengomntwana. Sengiyindoda, ngaziyekela izindlela zobuntwana.
12 to see for now through/because of mirror in/on/among obscure thing then then face to/with face now to know out from part then then to come to know as/just as and to come to know
Khathesi sibona kalufifi esibukweni; sizabuye sibone ubuso ngobuso. Khathesi ngazi ingxenye; ngizabuye ngazi okupheleleyo, njengoba lami ngisaziwa ngokupheleleyo.
13 now then to stay faith hope love the/this/who Three this/he/she/it great then this/he/she/it the/this/who love
Okuthathu lokhu kuma kunjalo: ukukholwa, ithemba lothando. Kodwa okukhulu kwalokhu luthando.
