1 Korint 13
1 Menm si mwen ta konn pale tout kalite lang moun pale ansanm ak lang zanj yo pale, si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', bèl pawòl mwen yo pa pi plis pase yon tanbou k'ap fè anpil bwi, pase yon klòch k'ap sonnen.
Though I spake with the tonges of me and angels and yet had no love I were eve as soundinge brasse: or as a tynklynge Cymball.
2 Menm si mwen ta gen don pou m' fè konnen mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, menm si mwen ta gen tout kalite konesans, menm si mwen ta konprann tout ti sekrè ki kache, menm si mwen ta gen konfyans anpil nan Bondye pou m' fè mòn yo chanje plas, si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', mwen pa anyen.
And though I coulde prophesy and vnderstode all secretes and all knowledge: yee yf I had all fayth so that I coulde move moutayns oute of ther places and yet had no love I were nothynge.
3 Menm si mwen ta bay tout byen mwen yo, menm si mwen ta bay kò m' pou yo boule l', si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', sa p'ap sèvi m' anyen.
And though I bestowed all my gooddes to fede ye poore and though I gave my body even that I burned and yet had no love it profeteth me nothinge.
4 Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li gen pasyans, li gen bon kè, li p'ap anvye sò lòt moun. Li p'ap fè grandizè, li p'ap gonfle ak lògèy.
Love suffreth longe and is corteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not frowardly swelleth not dealeth
5 Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li p'ap fè anyen ki pou fè moun wont, li p'ap chache avantaj pa l', li p'ap fè kòlè, li p'ap kenbe moun nan kè.
not dishonestly seketh not her awne is not provoked to anger thynketh not evyll
6 Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li p'ap pran plezi l' nan sa ki mal, li pran plezi l' nan sa ki vre.
reioyseth not in iniquite: but reioyseth in ye trueth
7 Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li sipòte tout bagay: nan nenpòt ki sitiyasyon, li toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye, li p'ap janm pèdi espwa, l'ap toujou moutre jan li gen pasyans.
suffreth all thynge beleveth all thynges hopeth all thynges endureth in all thynges.
8 renmen pa janm fini. Pouvwa pou bay mesaj ki soti nan men Bondye a pa la pou tout tan. Pouvwa pou pale langaj gen pou fini yon lè, konesans gen pou disparèt.
Though that prophesyinge fayle other tonges shall cease ) or knowledge vanysshe awaye yet love falleth never awaye
9 Paske, sa nou konnen, nou pa fin konnen l' nèt. Ata mesaj ki soti nan Bondye yo, nou pa fin bay yo nèt.
For oure knowledge is vnparfect and oure prophesyinge is vnperfet.
10 Men, lè sa ki bon nèt la va vini, sa ki poko fin bon an gen pou l' disparèt.
But when yt which is parfect is come then yt which is vnparfet shall be done awaye.
11 Lè m' te timoun, mwen te pale tankou timoun, mwen te konprann tankou timoun, mwen te fè tèt mwen travay tankou timoun. Men, koulye a mwen fin gran, mwen kite tou sa timoun te konn fè.
When I was a chylde I spake as a chylde I vnderstode as a childe I ymagened as a chylde. But assone as I was a man I put awaye childesshnes.
12 Konsa tou, sa nou wè koulye a, se tankou yon pòtre n'ap gade yon jan twoub twoub nan yon glas. Men, pita nou pral wè fasafas. Koulye a nou pa fin konn tout bagay. Men, pita n'a konnen nèt ale menm jan Bondye konnen nou an.
Now we se in a glasse even in a darke speakynge: but then shall we se face to face. Now I knowe vnparfectly: but then shall I knowe even as I am knowen.
13 Koulye a se twa bagay sa yo ki toujou la: se konfyans, se espwa, se renmen. Men, nan twa bagay sa yo, se renmen ki pi gran.
Now abideth fayth hope and love even these thre: but the chefe of these is love.
