1 KwabaseKhorinte 13
1 Nxa ngingakhuluma ngendimi zabantu lezezingilosi, kodwa ngingelathando, ngizakuba lithusi elikhalayo kumbe insimbi encencethayo.
Hagi nagrama vahe zmagerupintiro, ankero vahe'mokizimi zmagerura rugahuanagi, vahe'ma avesinte'zama omne'nenke'na, bero'mo ra ageru riankna nehu'na, zavena ahageno ageru riankna hugahue.
2 Njalo loba ngingaba lesiprofetho, ngisazi imfihlo zonke lokwazi konke, njalo uba ngilokholo lonke, ukuze ngisuse izintaba, kodwa ngingelathando, angisilutho.
Hagi kasnampa ke hu muse'zana mika e'neri'na, Anumzamofoma oku'a antahizama'a e'neri'na, mika knare antahi'zana e'neri'na, nagra hanave namentintia hanugeno agona retufega hugahianagi, vahe'ma avesinte'zama omne'nenigeno'a ana miko'za hanua zamo'a amnezankna hugahie.
3 Njalo loba ngingabela abayanga konke engilakho, njalo uba nginganikela umzimba wami ukuthi ngitshiswe, kodwa ngingelathando, kakungisizi ngalutho.
Hagi nagrama maka'zani'a zamunte omne vahe nezami'na, atresugeno tevefi navufa krefnane hugahianagi, nagripima vahe'ma avesinte'zama omne'nesigeno'a, ana miko'zamo'a amnezankna hugahie.
4 Uthando luyabekezela, lulobubele; uthando kalulamona; uthando kaluzincomi, kalukhukhunyezwa,
Vahe'ma avesinte'zana, agazone huno mani'zane, avesinte'zane so'e avu'ava hu'zane, avesinte'zana kenunu hu'za omneno, ra agi eri'zana omne'ne, avesinte'zana avufga ra hu avu'ava hu'zana omne'ne,
5 kaluziphathi ngokungafanelanga, kaluzidingeli okwalo, kalucunuki, kalunakani okubi,
veganokno'zana omne'ne, agraguke antahi'zana omne'ne, agra ame'ama huno asi ovazi'zane, rumo haviza hunte'nea zanku nontahino agekanino mani'zane.
6 kaluthokozi ngokungalunganga, kodwa luthokoza eqinisweni;
Vahe'ma avesinte'zamo'a havi avu'ava'zankura musena nosie. Hagi tamagezanku musena nehie.
7 lusibekela izinto zonke, lukholwa izinto zonke, luthemba izinto zonke, lubekezelela izinto zonke.
Avesinte'zamo'a, agazone huno mani'neno maka knazana e'nerino, amentinti nehuno, maka'za fore hugahie huno nentahino, maka knazana erino vu'za me'ne.
8 Uthando kalungeke lwehluleke. Kumbe-ke iziprofetho, zizakwenziwa ziphele; kumbe indimi, zizakhawula; kumbe ulwazi, luzakwenziwa luphele.
Vahe'ma Avesinte'zamo'a vagaoregahie. Ana hu'neanagi kasnampa ke huzamo'ene, ru vahe zamageru ru'zamo'ene, knare antahintahi zamo'a vagaregahie.
9 Ngoba sazi nganxanye, siprofetha nganxanye;
Na'ankure tagra osi'a antahi'none. Anama antahi'nona avamente kasnampa kea huama nehune.
10 kodwa lapho sekufikile okupheleleyo, khona okuyingxenye kuzakwenziwa ize.
Hu'neanagi ana miko'zamofo fatgo zama esigeno'a, osi'a zama nentahuna zamo'a fanane hugahie.
11 Lapho ngilusane, ngakhuluma njengosane, ngaqedisisa njengosane, nganakana njengosane; kodwa kuthe sengiyindoda, ngazenza ize izinto zosane.
Ko'ma mofavre'ma mani'norera, mofavremo nehiaza hu'na nanekea nehu'na, antahintahia nehu'na, nagesa antahi'na refko'ma hu'noana mofavremo'za nehazaza hu'noe. Hu'neanagi rama nese'na, mofavre avu'ava'zana atre'noe.
12 Ngoba khathesi sibona esibukweni kaluvivi, kodwa ngalesosikhathi ubuso ngobuso; khathesi ngazi nganxanye, kodwa ngalesosikhathi ngizakwazi njengoba-ke ngangisaziwa.
E'ina hu'negu kapopima avugosa ke so'e osiankna menina nehunanki, henka'a Anumzamofo avufi oge age hugahune. Menina Agrira osi'a ke'na antahi'na hu'noanagi, henka'a kena antahi'na hugahue. Agrama nagri'ma maka nageno antahini hu'neankna hugahue.
13 Njalo khathesi-ke kumi ukholo, ithemba, uthando, lokhu kokuthathu; kodwa okukhulu kulokhu luthando.
Hagi ama'i tagufa'a zamo mevava hugahie, amentintihu zane, fore hugahie huno antahi amuha hu'zane, avesinte zane me'ne. Hu'neanagi ana tagufa zampintira, avesinte'zamo agatereno tusi'a zana me'ne.
