1 e Korintasve 13
1 Po të flisja gjuhët e njerëzve dhe të engjëjve, dhe të mos kisha dashuri, do të bëhesha si një bronz që kumbon ose si cimbali që tingëllon.
Supposing we could speak [all] the various languages [MTY] that people [in the world speak] and even speak [the language] that angels [speak]. If we did not love [others, speaking those languages] would be [as useless as beating] a brass gong or clanging cymbals [together].
2 Edhe sikur të kisha dhuntinë e profecisë, edhe të dija të gjitha misteret dhe mbarë shkencën dhe të kisha gjithë besimin sa të luaja nga vendi malet, por të mos kisha dashuri, nuk jam asgjë.
Supposing we had the ability to speak messages that come directly from God, and we could understand the plans that he has not yet revealed [to others], and we could know everything [about everything], and we believed in God so strongly that we could [do impossible things like] causing mountains to move. If we did not love [others, God would consider all that] to be worthless.
3 Edhe sikur të ndaja gjithë pasuritë e mia për të ushqyer të varfërit dhe ta jepja trupin tim që të digjej, e të mos kisha dashuri, nuk do të më vlente asgjë!
And supposing we would give everything that we own to poor people, and would let others kill us in order that we could boast about [sacrificing our] own bodies. If we did not love [others], we would not get any reward [from God].
4 Dashuria është e durueshme; plot mirësi; dashuria nuk ka smirë, nuk vë në dukje, nuk krekoset,
Those who [PRS] truly love [others] act patiently and kindly toward them. Those who [PRS] truly love [others] are not jealous of them, they do not boast [about what they themselves have done], and are not proud.
5 nuk sillet në mënyrë të pahijshme, nuk kërkon të sajat, nuk pezmatohet, nuk dyshon për keq;
Those who [PRS] truly love [others] do not act in disgraceful/disrespectful ways towards them. They do not (act selfishly/think only of themselves and what they want). They do not quickly become angry. They do not keep remembering the bad things [that others have done to them].
6 nuk gëzohet për padrejtësinë, por gëzohet me të vërtetën,
Those who [PRS] truly love [others] do not rejoice when [people do] evil things, but they do rejoice when [people act] righteously.
7 i duron të gjitha, i beson të gjitha, i shpreson të gjitha, i mban çdo gjë.
Those who truly love [others] patiently put up [the faults of others]. They do not quickly assume [that others have done something bad]. They confidently expect [that others will act righteously]. They patiently endure [all their own troubles].
8 Dashuria nuk ligshtohet kurrë; por profecitë shfuqizohen, gjuhët pushojnë dhe njohuria do të shfuqizohet,
We should never [PRS] let anything stop us from continuing to love [others]. As for the ability to speak messages that come directly from God, some day that will come to an end. As for the ability to speak languages [MTY] [that we have not learned], that will [also] come to an end some day. And as for the ability to know things that God reveals to us, that will come to an end some day [because it will not be necessary any more].
9 sepse ne njohim pjesërisht dhe profetizojmë pjesërisht.
God does not reveal everything to us, and we cannot know everything that he knows.
10 Por, kur të vijë përsosmëria, atëherë ajo që është e pjesshme do të shfuqizohet.
But when everything is perfect [after Christ returns], things which are not perfect [now], [such as the abilities which God’s Spirit gives us], will (disappear/come to an end).
11 Kur isha fëmijë, flisja si fëmijë, mendoja si fëmijë, arsyetoja si fëmijë; kur u bëra burrë, i flaka gjërat fëminore.
When we were children, we talked like children talk, we thought like children think, we reasoned like children reason. But when we grew up, we got rid of our childish ways [MET]. [Similarly], [you need to get rid of your childish thinking about the abilities that the Spirit has given you].
12 Tani në fakt, ne shohim si në pasqyrë, në mënyrë të errët, por atëherë do të shohim faqe për faqe; tashti njoh pjesërisht, kurse atëherë do të njoh thellë ashtu sikurse njihem.
In this life we do not understand everything fully. It is like [MET] looking at something indirectly by seeing it in a mirror. But [when we get to heaven] [MTY], we will [understand everything clearly. It will be like] talking to someone face-to-face. Now we know only part [of everything that God wants us to know]. Then we will know everything completely, just like [God] knows us completely.
13 Tani, pra, këto tri gjëra mbeten: besimi, shpresa dhe dashuria; por më e madhja nga këto është dashuria.
So now there are three things [that we must] continue [to do]: To trust [in God], to confidently expect [to receive what he will give us], and to love [others]. But the greatest of those three things is loving [others].
