< Sie Corinth 13 >

1 Nga finne ku in kaskas ke kas lun mwet ac kas lun lipufan, a fin wangin lungse yuruk, nga ac oana pusren brass su tungtung, ku cymbal su erarrar.
If I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal.
2 Nga finne ku in fahkak kas lun God, ac etu ma lukma nukewa ac etauk nukewa; ac fin oasr yuruk lulalfongi nukewa in mokle eol, a fin wangin lungse yuruk, nga wangin.
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 Nga finne kitala ma luk nukewa ac sang monuk in firiryak — a fin wangin lungse yuruk, nga tia akwoyeyuk kac.
If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
4 Lungse el mongfisrasr ac kulang; lungse el tia sok, lungse el tia sifacna konkin, el tia inse fulat;
Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
5 lungse el tia oru ma sufal, el tia nunku kacl sifacna, el tia sa in mulat, el tia oakla ma koluk orek nu sel.
does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs;
6 Lungse el tia engan ke ma koluk, a el engan ke ma pwaye.
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 Lungse el tiana fuhleak; el lulalfongi ac finsrak ac muteng in pacl nukewa.
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Lungse el tiana wanginla. A funu ke kas in palu, ma nu ke kitin pacl; ac mwe sang in kaskas ke siena kain pusra ac fah tui; ac etauk ac fah wanginla pac.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
9 Tuh etauk lasr ac fahkak lasr ke kas lun God tiana fonla;
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
10 a ke ma su fonla ac suwoslana ac tuku, na ma su tia fonla ac fah wanginla.
but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with.
11 Ke nga tulik, nga kaskas oana tulik, etu luk oana etu lun tulik, ac nga nunku oana tulik; a inge ke nga mwet matu, nga sisla ouiya lun tulik.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become an adult, I have put away childish things.
12 Liye lasr ke God in pacl inge, oana ke kut ngetang nu ke sie selngun ohk; a tok kut fah ngetani sie sin sie. Inge nga etu tafu na; a tok ac fah fonla etu luk — oana ke God El arulana eteyu.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
13 Ac inge oasr lulalfongi, finsrak ac lungse; ac ma se ma yohk sin ma tolu inge pa lungse.
But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
