1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Mihing le vantungmi te kam taw ka pau thei hial zong, itna ka nei bale, keima sia zam nging bang lel, a hibale daktal ki tum bang lel ka hihi.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
Kamsang thu pualak thiamna tel nei in, thuku theampo le pilna theampo ka he zong in; taciang upna theampo ka nei a; mual te ka ki khinsak thei phial zong, itna ka nei bale, keima sia bangma ka hi bua hi.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Taciang mizawng te vakna tu in ka neisa theampo te ka piasiat a, taciang ka pumpi sia mei taw ki hal tu in pia kama leng zong, itna ka nei bale, bangma phattuamna om ngawl hi.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Itna sia thinsau a, pha hi; itna in haza ngawl hi; itna sia kiphasak ngawl a, kisuangtak ngawl hi,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
A hoi ngawl in ngamta ngawl hi, ama atu bek zong ngawl hi, thintom ngawl hi, a pha ngawl te ngaisun ngawl hi;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Phat ngawlna ah lungdam ngawl hi, ahihang thuman thu ah lungdam hi;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Na theampo ah thuak a, na theampo um hi, na theampo lamen a, na theampo ah thinsau hi.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Itna sia bo ngei ngawl hi: ahihang kamsang thu pualak thiamna te a om zong in, bokik tu hi; kam tatuam pau thiamna a om zong in, cimit kik tu hi; heakna om zong in, maimang kik tu hi.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
Banghangziam cile a kicing ngawl in i he a, taciang a kicing ngawl in mailam thu i pualak hi.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
Ahihang a kicing sia hong thet ciang in, a kicing ngawl teng bo siat tu hi.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Patang ka hi lai in, patang bang in ka pau a, patang bang in ka he hi, taciang patang bang in ka ngaisun hi: ahihang ka khanthin ciang in patang ngeina te ka vawk siat hi.
12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Banghangziam cile tu in limlang sung ah thim milmial in i mu hi; ahihang maitang kisi in i mu lai tu hi: tu in a kicing ngawl in i he hi; ahihang keima hong heak bang in ka he kik veve tu hi.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Tu in upna, lametna, itna, hi te thum kip hi; ahihang hiteng sung pan itna sia thupibel hi.
