1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
Congca kaminawk ih lok hoi van kaminawk ih lok to ka paeh thaih langlacadoeh, amlunghaih tawn ai nahaeloe, kai loe monglaeng maw, to tih ai boeh loe cingceng maw boh rumram ih lok baktiah ni ka oh.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.
Lok taphonghaih tangqum, kathuk loknawk to panoek boih moe, congca panoekhaih to ka tawnh; mae angthuisak thaih han khoek to, tanghaihnawk ka tawnh boih langlacadoeh, amlunghaih ka tawn ai nahaeloe, kai loe tidoeh na ai ni.
3 If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.
Amtang kaminawk com hanah ka tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk to ka paek boih, ka takpum hmai hoi qoeng han khoek to kang paek langlacadoeh, amlunghaih tawn ai nahaeloe, kai han avanghaih tidoeh om ai.
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,
Amlunghaih loe pauephaih to tawnh moe, tahmenhaih to tawnh; amlunghaih mah loe uthaih tawn ai; amlunghaih mah loe poeksanghaih tawn ai; amlunghaih mah loe amoekhaih tawn ai,
5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
tuinuen sae ai, aimah taham khue poek ai, palungphui han rai, kasae sak han poek ai;
6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
loktang lokah anghoehaih a tawnh, toe kahoih ai hmuen ah loe anghoe ai.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Hmuennawk boih ah pauephaih a tawnh, hmuennawk boih ah oepthoh, hmuennawk boih ah oephaih tawnh moe, hmuennawk boih ah palungsawk.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
Amlunghaih loe natuek naah doeh boeng ai: toe lok taphonghaih om langlacadoeh, boenghaih om tih; congca lok apaeh langlacadoeh, boenghaih to om tih; panoekthaihaih om langlacadoeh, anghmaa tih.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
Aicae mah ahap ni a panoek o moe, ahap ni a taphong o vop.
10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
Toe akoephaih angzoh naah loe, akoep ai ahap panoekhaih to anghmaa tih boeh.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.
Nawkta naah loe, nawkta baktiah lok ka paeh, nawkta panoekhaih baktiah ka panoek, nawkta poekhaih baktiah ka poek: toe ka saning akoep naah loe, nawkta nathuem ih hmuennawk to ka toengh.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
Vaihi loe hmaidan hoiah ni, amtueng parai ai ah a hnuk o vop; toe hnukkhuem ah loe mikhmai kangtong ah a hnu o tih: vaihi loe ahap ni ka panoep vop; toe hnukkhuem ah loe minawk mah kai ang panoek o baktih toengah, ka panoek toeng tih boeh.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Vaihiah tanghaih, oephaih hoi amlunghaih, tiah hmuen thumto oh; toe hae thumto thungah amlunghaih to len koek.
