1 Corinthians 13
1 If I were to have eloquence in human languages—even the language of angels—but have no love, then I would only be an echoing gong or a clashing cymbal.
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.
2 If I were to speak prophecies, to know every secret mystery and be completely knowledgeable, and if I were able to have so much faith I could move mountains, but have no love, then I am nothing.
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.
3 If I were to donate everything I own to the poor, or if I were to sacrifice myself to be burned as a martyr, and have no love, then I gain nothing.
Asa nna vat nimon ile na ndi bara akimon, sa nni kidowo nighe ijuju, andi na ndi nin su ba ukpini imonku ba.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not boastful. Love is not proud.
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.
5 Love does not act improperly, or insist on having its own way. Love is not argumentative and doesn't keep a record of wrongs.
Na udin dasu nin diru litiba, na udi nin su litiba, na udin lanzu kughullu ba, na udin cisu adu ananzang liburi ba.
6 Love takes no delight in evil but celebrates the truth.
Na udin su liburi libo nan nya nimon inanzang ba, una din liburi libo nan nya kidegen.
7 Love never gives up, keeps on trusting, stays confident, and remains patient whatever happens.
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.
8 Love never fails. Prophecies will come to an end. Tongues will become silent. Knowledge will become useless.
Usu di nin ligang ba. Andi annabci duku, iba katu, andi tilen tilen duku, tiba tiligan, andi uyiru duku, uma katu.
9 For our knowledge and our prophetic understanding are incomplete.
Bara uyiru bite di agir agir, anabci bite wang di agir agir,
10 But when completeness comes, then what is incomplete disappears.
Asa unan kulie nnin da, ilenge na idi agir agir ma katu.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I grew up I left behind such child-like ways.
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.
12 At the moment we peer into a mirror's dim reflection, but then we shall see face to face. For now I only have partial knowledge, but then I shall know completely, just as I am completely known.
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.
13 Trust, hope, and love last forever—but the most important is love.
Imon itat ilelere nlawa, uyinnu sa uyenu, uciu nayi, nin su, vat nan nya nitatte imon idiyawe usuwari.
