1 Korint 13
1 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.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 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.
If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 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.
If I give away all my possessions to feed others, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.
4 Lanmou pasyan, lanmou dous; li pa jalou. Lanmou pa vante tèt li e li pa awogan.
Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast. It is not puffed up
5 Li pa aji malonètman, ni li pa chache pwòp enterè pa l. Li pa fè kòlè pa teni kont de mal li resevwa.
or rude. It does not seek its own way, it is not irritable, and it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Li pa rejwi nan lenjistis, men rejwi nan verite a.
It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Li sipòte tout bagay, kwè tout bagay, espere tout bagay, andire tout bagay.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
8 Lanmou pa janm disparèt. Si gen don pwofesi, y ap vin disparèt. Si gen don lang, yo va fini. Si gen konesans, li va anile.
Love never fails. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.
9 Paske nou konnen yon ti pati e nou pwofetize yon ti pati;
Now we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 men lè sa ki pafè a vini, sa ki poko konplè a va disparèt.
Yet when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end.
11 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.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, and I reasoned like a child. But when I became a man, I set aside childish ways.
12 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.
For now we see in a mirror by means of an obscure image, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.
13 Men koulye a, lafwa, lesperans, ak lanmou; rete twa bagay sa yo. Men pi gran nan bagay sa yo, se lanmou.
And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
