1 Corinthians 13

1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

Bá n ya maadi bi niba maabuoli kuli yeni malekinba maabuoli kuli, ama ki naa pia buama, n tie nani ya longa ke bi pua ki pendi, bii ya kudi ke bi pua ke ti tie ku fuugu yeni.

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 do not have love, I am nothing.

N ya bi pia mi sawalpuama paabu bii yaalidgu bona paabu lani yaa ka mi banma paabu; n ya bi pia ya dudugdi n ba fidi ki yugdi a juana, n ya ki pia mi buama, mii tie pu

3 If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

N ya bi teni n ŋalmani kuli ke bi todi ki dini a luoda, n ya bi cabi ke bi juu n gbanu, n ya ki pia mi buama, min tieni yaali kuli tie fanma i.

4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,

Mi buama tie juuli i, mi gbie yeni mi ŋanma; mi buama ki pia nanga; mi buama ki pia yuongu; maa go pia japaadi mo.

5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

Maa tie libá, ke li tie bɔndima, maa lingi mi yuli po ñuadi, maa fiindi pali, maa kpaagi bonbiigu mo.

6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

Maa mangdi mi pali yeni janbi, ama mi mangdi mi pali yeni i mɔmɔni sanu.

7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

Mi pia sugli bonli kuli po, mi dugi bonli kuli po, mi daani bonli kuli po, mi tuo ki ga bonli kuli.

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.

Mi buama ki kpenli hali bada. Sawali puama pia mi juodma, i maabuoli ba gbeni, mi banma ba ti bodi.

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

Kelima ti bani jenli i, sawali mo pua jenli i.

10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.

Ama yaali n gagdi ki ŋani ya cua, yaali n tie bonjenli ba bodi.

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.

Min bo tie biga, n bo maadi nani biga yeni, n bo maali nani biga yeni, n bo wangi n maalma nani biga yeni; min tua nikpelo, yaali n tie bonwaama kuli bodi n kani.

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.

Mɔlane, ti nua bonli kuli nani ki maduubga yeni, ke li nan dá duagi ti po, ama ti ba ti la ti yaba i nunu ń tuogi i yia; Dinne n bani bonjenli, ama n ti ba bandi nani ban bandi nni maama yeni.

13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

Mɔla, bona taa n ye: ti dudugdi, li dandanli yeni mi buama; ama yaali n yabi ki cie tie mi buama i.
