١ كورنثوس 13

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

If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;

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.

and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and 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 if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

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

The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

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

doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

٦ 6 وَلَا تَفْرَحُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ بَلْ تَفْرَحُ بِٱلْحَقِّ،

rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

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

all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

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

The love doth never fail; and whether [there be] prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

٩ 9 لِأَنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ بَعْضَ ٱلْعِلْمِ وَنَتَنَبَّأُ بَعْضَ ٱلتَّنَبُّؤِ.

for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;

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

and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part shall become useless.

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 babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

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

for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;

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

and now there doth remain faith, hope, love — these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.
