Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 13
1 Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον.

2 ⸂καὶ ἐὰν⸃ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν, ⸄καὶ ἐὰν⸅ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη ⸀μεθιστάναι ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐθέν εἰμι.
Na ati nili ne chiyanwa cho bhulagi no bhumenyi bhwe chimali bhunu bhwiibhisile no bhwengeso, ati nine likilisha elyo kufulula amabhanga. Mbe nawe nikabha nitana kwenda, kwanye chitali chinu.
3 ⸂καὶ ἐὰν⸃ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου, ⸄καὶ ἐὰν⸅παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου, ἵνα ⸀καυθήσομαι ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι.
Na chaike ati nolwo nikasosha omugabho gwani gwona no kubhalisha abhagasi, nolwo ati nikagusosha omubhili gwani koleleki nochibhwe omulilo. Mbe nawe nikabha nitana kwenda, nitakubhonamo chinu.
4 Ἡ ἀγάπη μακροθυμεῖ, χρηστεύεται ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ ζηλοῖ ⸂ἡ ἀγάπη⸃, οὐ περπερεύεται, οὐ φυσιοῦται,
Okwenda okwingumilisha na kuli ne chigongo. Okwenda kutakwikuya amwi kwikusha. kutana chigundu
5 οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ, οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ ἑαυτῆς, οὐ παροξύνεται, οὐ λογίζεται τὸ κακόν,

6 οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ, συγχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ·
Kutakukondelwa mu bhunyamuke. Amwi nejo, okukondelelwa ne je chimali.
7 πάντα στέγει, πάντα πιστεύει, πάντα ἐλπίζει, πάντα ὑπομένει.
Okwenda okwigumilisha masango gone; Okwikilisha misango jone, kuli no bhubhasi mu misango jone, no kwikomesha mu misango jone.
8 Ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε ⸀πίπτει εἴτε δὲ προφητεῖαι, καταργηθήσονται· εἴτε γλῶσσαι, παύσονται· εἴτε γνῶσις, καταργηθήσεται.
Okwenda kuwana bhutelo. Alabha bhukabha bhuli bhulagi, Bhwona bhulichweka. Alabha jikabha jilio jinyaika, jiliwao. Alabha bhukabha bhulio bhwengeso, bhulio.
9 ἐκ μέρους ⸀γὰργινώσκομεν καὶ ἐκ μέρους προφητεύομεν·
Kulwo kubha echimenya kwe ebhala na echikola kwo bhulagi kwe ebhala.
10 ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ τὸτέλειον, ⸀τὸ ἐκ μέρους καταργηθήσεται.

11 ὅτε ἤμην νήπιος, ⸂ἐλάλουν ὡς νήπιος, ἐφρόνουν ὡς νήπιος, ἐλογιζόμην ὡς νήπιος· ⸀ὅτεγέγονα ἀνήρ, κατήργηκα τὰ τοῦ νηπίου.
Anu naliga nichali mwana kutiyo, neganilishaga lwo mwana kutiyo, naliga nindamula lwo mwana kutiyo. Nejile nakula nabha munu mukulu, ningata kula amasango ge chitoto.
12 βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι διʼ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον· ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους, τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην.

13 νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις, ἐλπίς, ἀγάπη· τὰ τρία ταῦτα, μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη.
Mbe nawe woli mu misango jinu esatu ejigendelela: Elikilisha, no kwenda. Mbe nawe chinu chili chikulu kukila ganu gone nu kwenda.
