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.
Mihing le vantungmi te kam taw ka pau thei hial zong, itna ka nei bale, keima sia zam nging bang lel, a hibale daktal ki tum bang lel ka hihi.
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.
Kamsang thu pualak thiamna tel nei in, thuku theampo le pilna theampo ka he zong in; taciang upna theampo ka nei a; mual te ka ki khinsak thei phial zong, itna ka nei bale, keima sia bangma ka hi bua hi.
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.
Taciang mizawng te vakna tu in ka neisa theampo te ka piasiat a, taciang ka pumpi sia mei taw ki hal tu in pia kama leng zong, itna ka nei bale, bangma phattuamna om ngawl hi.
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,
Itna sia thinsau a, pha hi; itna in haza ngawl hi; itna sia kiphasak ngawl a, kisuangtak ngawl hi,
5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
A hoi ngawl in ngamta ngawl hi, ama atu bek zong ngawl hi, thintom ngawl hi, a pha ngawl te ngaisun ngawl hi;
6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
Phat ngawlna ah lungdam ngawl hi, ahihang thuman thu ah lungdam hi;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Na theampo ah thuak a, na theampo um hi, na theampo lamen a, na theampo ah thinsau hi.
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.
Itna sia bo ngei ngawl hi: ahihang kamsang thu pualak thiamna te a om zong in, bokik tu hi; kam tatuam pau thiamna a om zong in, cimit kik tu hi; heakna om zong in, maimang kik tu hi.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
Banghangziam cile a kicing ngawl in i he a, taciang a kicing ngawl in mailam thu i pualak hi.
10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
Ahihang a kicing sia hong thet ciang in, a kicing ngawl teng bo siat tu hi.
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.
Patang ka hi lai in, patang bang in ka pau a, patang bang in ka he hi, taciang patang bang in ka ngaisun hi: ahihang ka khanthin ciang in patang ngeina te ka vawk siat hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile tu in limlang sung ah thim milmial in i mu hi; ahihang maitang kisi in i mu lai tu hi: tu in a kicing ngawl in i he hi; ahihang keima hong heak bang in ka he kik veve tu hi.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Tu in upna, lametna, itna, hi te thum kip hi; ahihang hiteng sung pan itna sia thupibel hi.
