1 Ukorintiyawa 13
1 Nwa su uliru nin tilen nanit, sa nin tilen nnono kadura Kutellẹ, na nnin dini su ba, nba so nafo lileng gberere sa fidowon mbejulu.
If in the tongues of men I shall speak and of angels, love however not may have, I have become a brass sounding or a cymbal clanging.
2 Asa ndi nin fillun anabci nin yiru kidegen kanga vat na kiyeshin. Andi ndi nin yinnu sa uyenu ulenge na uwasa ufiza akup. Andi na ndinin su ba na meng imonari ba.
And if I shall have prophecy and understand the mysteries all and all the knowledge, And if I shall have all the faith so as mountains to remove, love however not may have, no [thing] I am.
3 Asa nna vat nimon ile na ndi bara akimon, sa nni kidowo nighe ijuju, andi na ndi nin su ba ukpini imonku ba.
Even if Even if I shall give away all the possessions of mine, And if I shall deliver up the body of mine that (I may boast, *N+K+o) love however not may have, no [thing] I am profited.
4 Usu di nin nayi asheu, uyita nin lidu licine. Na usu dinin liyarin ba, sa ivet ba. Usu din fo figiri ba, na usu din tizu umucu litiba.
Love is patient, is kind, love not is envious, love not is boastful, not is puffed up,
5 Na udin dasu nin diru litiba, na udi nin su litiba, na udin lanzu kughullu ba, na udin cisu adu ananzang liburi ba.
not acts unbecomingly, not seeks the [things] of its own, not is easily provoked, not it keeps account of wrongs,
6 Na udin su liburi libo nan nya nimon inanzang ba, una din liburi libo nan nya kidegen.
not delights at unrighteousness, rejoices however in the truth,
7 Usu din nnonku kibinayi nin nimon vat, udin yinnu nin nimon vat, udi nin nayi akone kitene nimon vat, unin yita nin terru kibinayi nin nimon vat.
All things it bears, all things believes, all things hopes, all things endures.
8 Usu di nin ligang ba. Andi annabci duku, iba katu, andi tilen tilen duku, tiba tiligan, andi uyiru duku, uma katu.
Love never (falls. *N+kO) if however [there are] prophesies, they will be abated; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge it will be abated.
9 Bara uyiru bite di agir agir, anabci bite wang di agir agir,
In part (for *NK+o) we know and in part we prophesy;
10 Asa unan kulie nnin da, ilenge na idi agir agir ma katu.
when however may come the perfect, (then *K) the in part will be done away.
11 Kubi kongo na nwa di gono, nwa liru nafo gono, nwa yenjize nafo gono, nwa kpiluzu nafo gono. Kubiko na nwa wasirin, nna sun adadu tinone.
When I was a child, I was speaking like a child, I was thinking like a child, I was reasoning like a child; when (now *k) I became a man, I have done away with the [things] of the child.
12 Nene tidin yenju nan nya nimon nyeju ayeli nafo nan nya nsirti, lire tima yenju umuro nin muro. Nene uyiru nighe di kugir, lire uyiru nighe makulu nafo na mmal kulu uyinoe.
We see for presently through a glass in obscurity, then however face to face; presently I know in part, then however I will know fully even as also I have been fully known.
13 Imon itat ilelere nlawa, uyinnu sa uyenu, uciu nayi, nin su, vat nan nya nitatte imon idiyawe usuwari.
Now however abide faith, hope, love, three these; [the] greatest however of these [is] love.
