1 Ndị Kọrint 13

1 A sị na m na-asụ asụsụ dị iche iche nke ndị mmadụ maọbụ nke ndị mmụọ ozi, ma ahụghị m mmadụ ibe m nʼanya, abụ m naanị ogene na-eme ụzụ maọbụ mbadamba efere na-ada ụda.

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 A sịkwa na m nwere onyinye ibu amụma, bụrụ onye pụrụ ikwu ihe niile gaje ime nʼoge dị nʼihu, na onye maara ihe niile, a sịkwa na m nwere okwukwe nke m pụrụ isite na ya nye ugwu buru ibu iwu sị ya site nʼebe ọ nọ gaa nʼebe ọzọ, ma ahụghị m mmadụ ibe m nʼanya, abụghị m ihe ọbụla.

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 A sịkwa na m ewere ihe niile m nwere nye ndị ogbenye, werekwa anụ ahụ m nye ka ere ya ọkụ nʼihi ka m nyaa isi, ihe ndị a niile abaghị uru, ma m enweghị ịhụnanya.

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 Ịhụnanya na-enwe ogologo ntachiobi, na-enwekwa obi ebere. Ọ dịghị ekwo ekworo, ọ naghị enwe anya ukwu, ọ naghị anya isi. Ọ nakwaghị ebuli onwe ya elu.

Love suffreth longe and is corteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not frowardly swelleth not dealeth

5 Ọ naghị eme ihe na-akpasu iwe, ọ naghị achọ ihe nke naanị ya, ọ naghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ. Ọ nakwaghị agụkọ ihe ọjọọ niile e mere ya.

not dishonestly seketh not her awne is not provoked to anger thynketh not evyll

6 Ọ dịghị aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihe ọjọọ, kama ọ na-aṅụrị nʼeziokwu.

reioyseth not in iniquite: but reioyseth in ye trueth

7 Ọ na-edi ihe niile, ọ na-ekwerekwa ihe niile, ọ na-enwekwa olileanya na-anagide ihe ọbụla dapụtara.

suffreth all thynge beleveth all thynges hopeth all thynges endureth in all thynges.

8 Ịhụnanya adịghị agwụ agwụ. Ma ibu amụma niile ga-emesịa kwụsị, onyinye ịsụ asụsụ dị iche iche ga-akwụsịkwa. Otu a, ihe ọmụma niile ga-agabiga.

Though that prophesyinge fayle other tonges shall cease ) or knowledge vanysshe awaye yet love falleth never awaye

9 Nʼihi na ọmụma anyị ezughị oke, ibu amụma anyị ezukwaghị oke.

For oure knowledge is vnparfect and oure prophesyinge is vnperfet.

10 Ma mgbe anyị ruru nʼizuoke, ezughị oke agaghị adịkwa.

But when yt which is parfect is come then yt which is vnparfet shall be done awaye.

11 Mgbe m bụ nwata, ekwuru m okwu dịka nwata, echiche m niile bụ echiche nwata. Izuzu obi m niile bụkwa nke nwata. Ma mgbe m toro ghọọ dimkpa, adịghịkwa m akpa agwa dịka nwata ọzọ.

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 Ugbu a, anyị na-ahụ inyogho inyogho dịka anyị na-ele anya nʼenyo ma mgbe ahụ anyị ga-ahụ ihu na ihu. Ugbu a, ihe m mara ezughị oke, ma mgbe ahụ aga m amazu, dịka m bụ onye a mazuru.

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 Ọ dị ihe atọ na-adịgide adịgide. Ha bụ okwukwe, olileanya, na ịhụnanya. Ma nʼime ha niile, ihe kachasị ha niile bụ ịhụnanya.

Now abideth fayth hope and love even these thre: but the chefe of these is love.
