1 Corinthians 13
1 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].
Ha embereknek vagy angyaloknak nyelvén szólok is, szeretet pedig nincs bennem, olyanná lettem, mint a zengő érc vagy pengő cimbalom.
2 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.
És ha prófétálni is tudok, és minden titkot és minden tudományt ismerek is; és ha teljes hitem van is, úgyannyira, hogy hegyeket mozdíthatok ki helyükről, szeretet pedig nincs bennem, semmi vagyok.
3 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].
És ha minden vagyonomat szétosztom, és ha testemet tűzhalálra adom, szeretet pedig nincs bennem, semmi hasznom abból.
4 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.
A szeretet türelmes, jóságos; a szeretet nem irigykedik, a szeretet nem kérkedik, nem fuvalkodik fel.
5 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].
Nem cselekszik bántóan, nem keresi a maga hasznát, nem gerjed haragra, nem rója fel a gonoszt.
6 Those who [PRS] truly love [others] do not rejoice when [people do] evil things, but they do rejoice when [people act] righteously.
Nem örül a hamisságnak, de együtt örül az igazsággal.
7 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].
Mindent elfedez, mindent hisz, mindent remél, mindent eltűr.
8 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].
A szeretet soha el nem fogy. De legyen bár prófétálás, elmúlik, vagy nyelveken szólás, megszűnik, vagy ismeret, el fog töröltetni.
9 God does not reveal everything to us, and we cannot know everything that he knows.
Mert töredékes bennünk az ismeret és töredékes a prófétálás.
10 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).
De amikor eljön a teljesség, a töredékes elmúlik.
11 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].
Amikor gyermek voltam, úgy szóltam, mint gyermek, úgy gondolkodtam, mint gyermek, úgy értettem, mint gyermek. Miután pedig férfivá lettem, elhagytam a gyermekhez illő dolgokat.
12 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.
Mert most tükör által homályosan látunk, akkor pedig színről-színre. Most töredékes bennem az ismeret, akkor pedig úgy ismerek majd, amint Isten ismer engem.
13 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].
Most azért megmarad a hit, remény, szeretet, e három; ezek között pedig legnagyobb a szeretet.
