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.
Ne metsɔ amewo kple mawudɔlawo ƒe gbegbɔgblɔ ƒo nui, evɔ lɔlɔ̃ mele asinye o la, ɖeko mele abe gakogoe alo ayawagba ƒe ɖiɖi ene.
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.
Ne nyagblɔɖi ƒe nunana le asinye, eye nunya katã hã le asinye be mate ŋu ase nu ɣaɣlawo gɔme, eye ne xɔse le asinye be maɖe gbe na towo be woaho, evɔ lɔlɔ̃ mele asinye o la, nyemenyo na naneke o.
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.
Nenye ɖe matsɔ nu sia nu si le asinye la ana ame dahewo, eye matsɔ nye ŋutilã ana be woatɔ dzoe, gake nyemelɔ̃a amewo o la, viɖe aɖeke kura manɔ nu sia ŋu o.
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,
Lɔlɔ̃ gbɔa dzi ɖi blewuu, eye wònyoa dɔme. Lɔlɔ̃ mebiã ŋu hã o; meƒoa adegbe o, eye medana o.
5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
Lɔlɔ̃ medoa eɖokui ɖe dzi o, media eɖokui tɔ o, eye mefiaa amemabumabu hã o. Lɔlɔ̃ mebiaa dzi o, meléa ehavi ɖe dɔ me o, eye medea dzesi nu vɔ̃ siwo amewo wɔ ɖe eŋu ɖi o.
6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
Lɔlɔ̃ medzɔa dzi le nu madzɔmadzɔ ŋu o, ke ekpɔa dzidzɔ le nyateƒe la me.
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Lɔlɔ̃ menaa ta o, ekana ɖe nu dzi ɣe sia ɣi, ekpɔa mɔ ɣe sia ɣi, eye wòdoa vevi nu ɣe sia ɣi.
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.
Lɔlɔ̃ la nu metsina gbeɖe o. Nyagblɔɖiwo katã nu ava yi, afi si aɖe yeye gbɔgblɔ le la atɔ eye afi si sidzedze le la, enu ava yi,
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
elabena míenya nu afã kple afã, eye míegblɔa nya ɖi afã kple afã,
10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
gake ne blibodede va la, ekema nu si mede blibo o la abu ɖa.
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.
Esi menye ɖevi la, meƒo nu, eye mebu ta me abe ɖevi ene. Ke esi metsi la, nye susuwo tsi sãa wu nye ɖevimesusuwo, eye azɔ la meɖe asi le ɖevimenuwo ŋu.
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.
Ke azɔ la, nu siwo li la ƒe vɔvɔli ko kpɔm míele le ahuhɔ̃e me, emegbe míakpɔ nuawo ŋkume kple ŋkume. Azɔ la, menya nu afã kple afã; emegbe la, manyae blibo, abe ale si wonyam keŋkeŋkeŋ egbea ene.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Nu etɔ̃e nɔa anyi ɖaa. Esiawoe nye xɔse, mɔkpɔkpɔ kple lɔlɔ̃, eye nu si ƒo wo katã ta lae nye lɔlɔ̃.
