Supposing we could speak [all] the various languages [MTY] that people [in the world speak] and even speak [the language] that angels [speak]. If we did not love [others, speaking those languages] would be [as useless as beating] a brass gong or clanging cymbals [together].

2 အပရဉ္စ ယဒျဟမ် ဤၑွရီယာဒေၑာဎျး သျာံ သရွွာဏိ ဂုပ္တဝါကျာနိ သရွွဝိဒျာဉ္စ ဇာနီယာံ ပူရ္ဏဝိၑွာသး သန် ၑဲလာန် သ္ထာနာန္တရီကရ္တ္တုံ ၑက္နုယာဉ္စ ကိန္တု ယဒိ ပြေမဟီနော ဘဝေယံ တရှျဂဏနီယ ဧဝ ဘဝါမိ၊

Supposing we had the ability to speak messages that come directly from God, and we could understand the plans that he has not yet revealed [to others], and we could know everything [about everything], and we believed in God so strongly that we could [do impossible things like] causing mountains to move. If we did not love [others, God would consider all that] to be worthless.

3 အပရံ ယဒျဟမ် အန္နဒါနေန သရွွသွံ တျဇေယံ ဒါဟနာယ သွၑရီရံ သမရ္ပယေယဉ္စ ကိန္တု ယဒိ ပြေမဟီနော ဘဝေယံ တရှိ တတ္သရွွံ မဒရ္ထံ နိၐ္ဖလံ ဘဝတိ၊

And supposing we would give everything that we own to poor people, and would let others kill us in order that we could boast about [sacrificing our] own bodies. If we did not love [others], we would not get any reward [from God].

4 ပြေမ စိရသဟိၐ္ဏု ဟိတဲၐိ စ, ပြေမ နိရ္ဒွေၐမ် အၑဌံ နိရ္ဂရွွဉ္စ၊

Those who [PRS] truly love [others] act patiently and kindly toward them. Those who [PRS] truly love [others] are not jealous of them, they do not boast [about what they themselves have done], and are not proud.

5 အပရံ တတ် ကုတ္သိတံ နာစရတိ, အာတ္မစေၐ္ဋာံ န ကုရုတေ သဟသာ န ကြုဓျတိ ပရာနိၐ္ဋံ န စိန္တယတိ,

Those who [PRS] truly love [others] do not act in disgraceful/disrespectful ways towards them. They do not (act selfishly/think only of themselves and what they want). They do not quickly become angry. They do not keep remembering the bad things [that others have done to them].

6 အဓရ္မ္မေ န တုၐျတိ သတျ ဧဝ သန္တုၐျတိ၊

Those who [PRS] truly love [others] do not rejoice when [people do] evil things, but they do rejoice when [people act] righteously.

7 တတ် သရွွံ တိတိက္ၐတေ သရွွတြ ဝိၑွသိတိ သရွွတြ ဘဒြံ ပြတီက္ၐတေ သရွွံ သဟတေ စ၊

Those who truly love [others] patiently put up [the faults of others]. They do not quickly assume [that others have done something bad]. They confidently expect [that others will act righteously]. They patiently endure [all their own troubles].

8 ပြေမ္နော လောပး ကဒါပိ န ဘဝိၐျတိ, ဤၑွရီယာဒေၑကထနံ လောပ္သျတေ ပရဘာၐာဘာၐဏံ နိဝရ္တ္တိၐျတေ ဇ္ဉာနမပိ လောပံ ယာသျတိ၊

We should never [PRS] let anything stop us from continuing to love [others]. As for the ability to speak messages that come directly from God, some day that will come to an end. As for the ability to speak languages [MTY] [that we have not learned], that will [also] come to an end some day. And as for the ability to know things that God reveals to us, that will come to an end some day [because it will not be necessary any more].

9 ယတော'သ္မာကံ ဇ္ဉာနံ ခဏ္ဍမာတြမ် ဤၑွရီယာဒေၑကထနမပိ ခဏ္ဍမာတြံ၊

God does not reveal everything to us, and we cannot know everything that he knows.

10 ကိန္တွသ္မာသု သိဒ္ဓတာံ ဂတေၐု တာနိ ခဏ္ဍမာတြာဏိ လောပံ ယာသျန္တေ၊

But when everything is perfect [after Christ returns], things which are not perfect [now], [such as the abilities which God’s Spirit gives us], will (disappear/come to an end).

11 ဗာလျကာလေ'ဟံ ဗာလ ဣဝါဘာၐေ ဗာလ ဣဝါစိန္တယဉ္စ ကိန္တု ယော်ဝနေ ဇာတေ တတ္သရွွံ ဗာလျာစရဏံ ပရိတျက္တဝါန်၊

When we were children, we talked like children talk, we thought like children think, we reasoned like children reason. But when we grew up, we got rid of our childish ways [MET]. [Similarly], [you need to get rid of your childish thinking about the abilities that the Spirit has given you].

12 ဣဒါနီမ် အဘြမဓျေနာသ္ပၐ္ဋံ ဒရ္ၑနမ် အသ္မာဘိ ရ္လဘျတေ ကိန္တု တဒါ သာက္ၐာတ် ဒရ္ၑနံ လပ္သျတေ၊ အဓုနာ မမ ဇ္ဉာနမ် အလ္ပိၐ္ဌံ ကိန္တု တဒါဟံ ယထာဝဂမျသ္တထဲဝါဝဂတော ဘဝိၐျာမိ၊

In this life we do not understand everything fully. It is like [MET] looking at something indirectly by seeing it in a mirror. But [when we get to heaven] [MTY], we will [understand everything clearly. It will be like] talking to someone face-to-face. Now we know only part [of everything that God wants us to know]. Then we will know everything completely, just like [God] knows us completely.

13 ဣဒါနီံ ပြတျယး ပြတျာၑာ ပြေမ စ တြီဏျေတာနိ တိၐ္ဌန္တိ တေၐာံ မဓျေ စ ပြေမ ၑြေၐ္ဌံ၊

So now there are three things [that we must] continue [to do]: To trust [in God], to confidently expect [to receive what he will give us], and to love [others]. But the greatest of those three things is loving [others].
