1 Corinthians 13
1 If I could speak in every tongue of men, and in that of angels, and there should be no love in me, I should be like brass that resoundeth, or the cymbal that maketh a noise.
Singa njogera ennimi z’abantu n’eza bamalayika, naye nga sirina kwagala, mba ng’ekidde, ekireekaana oba ng’ekitaasa ekisaala.
2 And if there should be in me the gift of prophecy, and I should understand all the mysteries, and every science; and if there should be in me all faith, so that I could move mountains, and love should not be in me, I should be nothing.
Ne bwe mba n’ekirabo eky’okwogera eby’obunnabbi, ne ntegeera ebyama byonna, era ne mmanya ebintu byonna, era ne bwe mba n’okukkiriza okungi ne kunsobozesa n’okusiguukulula ensozi, naye nga sirina kwagala, mba siri kintu.
3 And if I should feed out to the destitute all I possess; and if I should give my body to be burned; and there should be no love in me, I gain nothing.
Ne bwe mpaayo ebyange byonna okuyamba abaavu, era ne bwe mpaayo omubiri gwange ne nneewaana, naye ne siba na kwagala, sibaako kye ngasibbwa.
4 Love is long-suffering, and is kind; love is not envious; love is not boisterous; and is not inflated;
Okwagala kugumiikiriza era kwa kisa. Okwagala tekulina buggya era tekwenyumiikiriza wadde okwekuluntaza.
5 and doth nothing that causeth shame; and seeketh not her own; is not passionate; and thinketh no evil;
Okwagala tekukola bitasaana, tekunoonya byakwo, tekunyiiga mangu, era tekusiba kibi ku mwoyo.
6 rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Okwagala tekusanyukira bitali bya butuukirivu, wabula kusanyukira mazima.
7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all, and endureth all.
Okwagala kugumira byonna, kukkiriza byonna, kusuubira byonna era kugumiikiriza byonna.
8 Love will never cease. But prophesyings will end; and tongues will be silent; and knowledge will vanish.
Okwagala tekulemererwa; obunnabbi buliggyibwawo, n’ennimi zirikoma, n’eby’amagezi birikoma.
9 For we know but partially; and we prophesy but partially.
Kubanga tumanyiiko kitundu, ne bunnabbi nabwo bwa kitundu.
10 But when completeness shall come, then that which is partial will vanish away.
Naye ebituukiridde bwe birijja, olwo eby’ekitundu nga biggwaawo.
11 When I was a child, I talked as a child, and I reasoned as a child, and I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I laid aside the things of childhood.
Bwe nnali omuto, nayogeranga ng’omuto, nalowoozanga ng’omuto, ne byonna nga mbiraba mu ngeri ya kito. Naye bwe nakula ne ndeka eby’ekito.
12 And now we see, as by a mirror, in similitude; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know, just as I am known.
Kaakano tulaba kifaananyi bufaananyi, ng’abali mu ndabirwamu eteraba bulungi; naye tulirabira ddala bulungi amaaso n’amaaso. Kaakano mmanyiiko kitundu butundu, naye luli ndimanyira ddala byonna, mu bujjuvu.
13 For these three things are abiding, faith, and hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
Kaakano waliwo ebintu bisatu eby’olubeerera: okukkiriza, n’okusuubira, era n’okwagala. Naye ekisingako ku ebyo obukulu kwe kwagala.
