١ كورنثوس 13

١ 1 إِنْ كُنْتُ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِأَلْسِنَةِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ، فَقَدْ صِرْتُ نُحَاسًا يَطِنُّ أَوْ صَنْجًا يَرِنُّ.

Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am become a clanging brass, or a clashing cymbal.

٢ 2 وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لِي نُبُوَّةٌ، وَأَعْلَمُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَسْرَارِ وَكُلَّ عِلْمٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لِي كُلُّ ٱلْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى أَنْقُلَ ٱلْجِبَالَ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ، فَلَسْتُ شَيْئًا.

Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

٣ 3 وَإِنْ أَطْعَمْتُ كُلَّ أَمْوَالِي، وَإِنْ سَلَّمْتُ جَسَدِي حَتَّى أَحْتَرِقَ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ، فَلَا أَنْتَفِعُ شَيْئًا.

And though I sell all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it avails me nothing.

٤ 4 ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ تَتَأَنَّى وَتَرْفُقُ. ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ لَا تَحْسِدُ. ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ لَا تَتَفَاخَرُ، وَلَا تَنْتَفِخُ،

Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up,

٥ 5 وَلَا تُقَبِّحُ، وَلَا تَطْلُبُ مَا لِنَفْسِهَا، وَلَا تَحْتَدُّ، وَلَا تَظُنُّ ٱلسُّؤَ،

is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing,

٦ 6 وَلَا تَفْرَحُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ بَلْ تَفْرَحُ بِٱلْحَقِّ،

but rejoices when the truth rejoices.

٧ 7 وَتَحْتَمِلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَتُصَدِّقُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَتَرْجُو كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَتَصْبِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring.

٨ 8 اَلْمَحَبَّةُ لَا تَسْقُطُ أَبَدًا. وَأَمَّا ٱلنُّبُوَّاتُ فَسَتُبْطَلُ، وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةُ فَسَتَنْتَهِي، وَٱلْعِلْمُ فَسَيُبْطَلُ.

Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ بَعْضَ ٱلْعِلْمِ وَنَتَنَبَّأُ بَعْضَ ٱلتَّنَبُّؤِ.

For our knowing is imperfect, and our prophesying is imperfect;

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنْ مَتَى جَاءَ ٱلْكَامِلُ فَحِينَئِذٍ يُبْطَلُ مَا هُوَ بَعْضٌ.

but when the perfect is come, then the perfect will be done away.

١١ 11 لَمَّا كُنْتُ طِفْلًا كَطِفْلٍ كُنْتُ أَتَكَلَّمُ، وَكَطِفْلٍ كُنْتُ أَفْطَنُ، وَكَطِفْلٍ كُنْتُ أَفْتَكِرُ. وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا صِرْتُ رَجُلًا أَبْطَلْتُ مَا لِلطِّفْلِ.

When I was a child I spoke like a child, felt like a child, thought like a child; now that I am become a man, I have done with childish things.

١٢ 12 فَإِنَّنَا نَنْظُرُ ٱلْآنَ فِي مِرْآةٍ، فِي لُغْزٍ، لَكِنْ حِينَئِذٍ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ. ٱلْآنَ أَعْرِفُ بَعْضَ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ، لَكِنْ حِينَئِذٍ سَأَعْرِفُ كَمَا عُرِفْتُ.

For now we see as in a mirror, and are baffled, but then face to face; now I know in fragments, but then shall I understand even as I also have been understood.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَيَثْبُتُ: ٱلْإِيمَانُ وَٱلرَّجَاءُ وَٱلْمَحَبَّةُ، هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ وَلَكِنَّ أَعْظَمَهُنَّ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ.

Faith, Hope, Love endure - these three; but the greatest of these is Love.
