Korineto I 13
1 I NA i olelo au i ka olelo a na kanaka a me na anela, a i loaa ole ke aloha, ua like au me ke keleawe kanikani a me ke kumebala walaau.
Suppose that I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. But if I do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 A ina ia'u ka wanana, a ina i ike au i na mea pohihihi a pau, a me na mea a pau e naauao ai; a ina ia'u ka manaoio e hiki ai ke hoonee i na kuahiwi, a i loaa ole hoi ke aloha, he mea ole wau.
Suppose that I have the gift of prophecy and understand all hidden truths and knowledge, and that I have all faith so as to remove mountains. But if I do not have love, I am nothing.
3 A ina e manawalea aku au i ko'u waiwai a pau, a haawi hoi i ko'u kino i ke ahi, a i loaa ole ia'u ke aloha, aole o'u mea e pono ai ilaila.
Suppose that I give all I own to feed the poor, and that I give my body to be burned. But if I do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 O ke aloha, ua hoomanawanui, a na lokomaikai; aole paonioni aku ke aloha; aole haanui ke aloha, aole haakei,
Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast. It is not arrogant
5 Aole hoi e hoohiehie, aole imi i kona mea iho, aole hiki wawe ka huhu, aole noonoo ino;
or rude. It is not self-serving. It is not easily angered, nor does it keep a count of wrongs.
6 Aole i hauoli i ka hewa, aka, ua hauoli i ka pono.
It does not rejoice in unrighteousness. Instead, it rejoices in the truth.
7 Ua ahonui i na mea a pau, na manao oiaio i na mea a pau, ua manaolana i na mea a pau, ua hoomanawanui i na mea a pau.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
8 He mea pau ole ke aloha. Ina he wanana, e pau ia; ina he olelo e, e pau ia; ina he akamai, e hoopauia hoi oia.
Love never ends. If there are prophecies, they will pass away. If there are tongues, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 No ka mea, ua ike pohihihi kakou, a ua wanana pohihihi aku.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
10 Aka, i ka wa e hiki mai ai ka mea hemolele, alaila, e pau ka mea pohihihi i ka liloia.
But when the perfect comes, that which is incomplete will pass away.
11 I ko'u wa kamalii, olelo wau e like me ke kamalii, a ike au e like me ke kamalii, a manao wau e like me ke kamalii; aka, i ko'u wa i lilo ai i kanaka makua, alaila, haalele au i na mea o kamalii.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became an adult, I put away childish things.
12 I keia wa, ke ike powehiwehi nei kakou, me he aniaui la; i kela wa aku, he maka no, he maka. I keia wa, ua ike powehiwehi au, aka, i kela wa aku, e ike maoli aku au, e like me ka'u i ikeia mai ai.
For now we see indirectly in a mirror, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I have been fully known.
13 Ke mau nei keia mau mea ekolu, o ka manaoio, o ka manaolana, a me ke aloha. O ke aloha nae ka i oi o keia mau mea.
But now these three remain: faith, future confidence, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
