1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding 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 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 don’t have 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 If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burnt, but don’t have love, it profits me 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 and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,
Lanmou pasyan, lanmou dous; li pa jalou. Lanmou pa vante tèt li e li pa awogan.
5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
Li pa aji malonètman, ni li pa chache pwòp enterè pa l. Li pa fè kòlè pa teni kont de mal li resevwa.
6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
Li pa rejwi nan lenjistis, men rejwi nan verite a.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Li sipòte tout bagay, kwè tout bagay, espere tout bagay, andire tout bagay.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
Lanmou pa janm disparèt. Si gen don pwofesi, y ap vin disparèt. Si gen don lang, yo va fini. Si gen konesans, li va disparèt.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
Paske nou konnen yon ti pati e nou pwofetize yon ti pati;
10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
men lè sa ki pafè a vini, sa ki poko konplè a va disparèt.
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 a man, I have put away childish things.
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 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.
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 faith, hope, and love remain—these three. 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.
