1 Corinthians 13

1 Although with the tongues of men, I be speaking, and of messengers, and have not, love, I have become resounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;

Na dia miteny amin’ ny fitenin’ ny olona sy ny anjely aza aho, kanefa tsy manana fitiavana, dia tonga varahina maneno sy kipantsona mikarantsana aho.

2 And, though I have [the gift of] prophesying, and know all sacred secrets, and all knowledge, —and though I have all faith, so as to be removing mountains, and have not, love, I am, nothing;

Ary na dia manana faminaniana aza aho ka mahalala ny zava-miafina rehetra sady manana ny fahalalana rehetra, ary na dia manana ny finoana rehetra aza aho ka mahafindra tendrombohitra, kanefa tsy manana fitiavana, dia tsinontsinona aho.

3 And, though I morsel out all my goods, —and though I deliver up my body, that I may boast, and have not, love, I am profited, nothing.

Ary na dia omeko hohanin’ ny malahelo aza ny fananako rehetra, ary na dia atolotro hodorana aza ny tenako, kanefa tsy manana fitiavana aho, dia tsy mahasoa ahy akory izany.

4 Love, is patient, is gracious. Love, is not envious, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Ny fitiavana mahari-po sady mora fanahy; ny fitiavana tsy mialona, tsy mirehareha, tsy mieboebo,

5 Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base,

tsy manao izay tsy mahamendrika, tsy mitady ny azy, tsy mora sosotra, tsy manao otri-po,

6 Rejoiceth not over unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in sympathy with truth, —

tsy mifaly amin’ ny tsi-fahamarinana, fa miara-mifaly amin’ ny fahamarinana kosa,

7 All things, covereth, all things, believeth, all things, hopeth, all things, endureth.

mandefitra ny zavatra rehetra, mino ny zavatra rehetra, manantena ny zavatra rehetra, maharitra ny zavatra rehetra.

8 Love, at no time, faileth; —but, whether prophesyings, they shall be done away, whether tongues, they shall cease, whether gaining knowledge, it shall be done away;

Ny fitiavana tsy ho levona mandrakizay; fa raha ny faminaniana, dia ho levona; na ny fiteny tsy fantatra, dia hitsahatra; na ny fahalalana, dia ho foana.

9 For, in part, are we gaining knowledge, and, in part, are we prophesying, —

Fa sombintsombiny ny fahalalantsika, ary sombintsombiny ny faminaniantsika;

10 But, as soon as that which is complete is come, that which is in part, shall be done away.

fa rehefa tonga ny tanteraka, dia tsy hisy sombintsombiny intsony.

11 When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, to prefer as child, to reason as a child: now I have become a man, I have laid aside the things of the child!

Fony mbola zaza aho, dia niteny toy ny zaza, nihevitra toy ny zaza, nisaina toy ny zaza; fa nony efa lehibe aho, dia nariako ny fahazazana.

12 For we see, as yet, through a dim window, obscurely, but, then, face to face: as yet, I gain knowledge, in part, but, then, shall I fully know, even as I was also fully known.

Fa ankehitriny isika mizaha ao amin’ ny fitaratra ka tsy mahita marina; fa rahatrizay dia mifanatrika; ankehitriny sombintsombiny no fantatro; fa rahatrizay dia ho fantatro tsara toy izay nahafantarana ahy.

13 But, now abide—faith, hope, love, —these three; but, the greatest of these, is, love.

Ary ankehitriny dia ireto telo ireto no mitoetra: ny finoana, ny fanantenana, ny fitiavana: fa ny fitiavana no lehibe amin’ ireo.
