1 Ukorintiyawa 13

1 Nwa su uliru nin tilen nanit, sa nin tilen nnono kadura Kutellẹ, na nnin dini su ba, nba so nafo lileng gberere sa fidowon mbejulu.

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 Asa ndi nin fillun anabci nin yiru kidegen kanga vat na kiyeshin. Andi ndi nin yinnu sa uyenu ulenge na uwasa ufiza akup. Andi na ndinin su ba na meng imonari ba.

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 Asa nna vat nimon ile na ndi bara akimon, sa nni kidowo nighe ijuju, andi na ndi nin su ba ukpini imonku ba.

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 Usu di nin nayi asheu, uyita nin lidu licine. Na usu dinin liyarin ba, sa ivet ba. Usu din fo figiri ba, na usu din tizu umucu litiba.

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

5 Na udin dasu nin diru litiba, na udi nin su litiba, na udin lanzu kughullu ba, na udin cisu adu ananzang liburi ba.

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

6 Na udin su liburi libo nan nya nimon inanzang ba, una din liburi libo nan nya kidegen.

reioyseth not in iniquite: but reioyseth in ye trueth

7 Usu din nnonku kibinayi nin nimon vat, udin yinnu nin nimon vat, udi nin nayi akone kitene nimon vat, unin yita nin terru kibinayi nin nimon vat.

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

8 Usu di nin ligang ba. Andi annabci duku, iba katu, andi tilen tilen duku, tiba tiligan, andi uyiru duku, uma katu.

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

9 Bara uyiru bite di agir agir, anabci bite wang di agir agir,

For oure knowledge is vnparfect and oure prophesyinge is vnperfet.

10 Asa unan kulie nnin da, ilenge na idi agir agir ma katu.

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

11 Kubi kongo na nwa di gono, nwa liru nafo gono, nwa yenjize nafo gono, nwa kpiluzu nafo gono. Kubiko na nwa wasirin, nna sun adadu tinone.

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 Nene tidin yenju nan nya nimon nyeju ayeli nafo nan nya nsirti, lire tima yenju umuro nin muro. Nene uyiru nighe di kugir, lire uyiru nighe makulu nafo na mmal kulu uyinoe.

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 Imon itat ilelere nlawa, uyinnu sa uyenu, uciu nayi, nin su, vat nan nya nitatte imon idiyawe usuwari.

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