Sie Corinth 13

1 Nga finne ku in kaskas ke kas lun mwet ac kas lun lipufan, a fin wangin lungse yuruk, nga ac oana pusren brass su tungtung, ku cymbal su erarrar.

If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;

2 Nga finne ku in fahkak kas lun God, ac etu ma lukma nukewa ac etauk nukewa; ac fin oasr yuruk lulalfongi nukewa in mokle eol, a fin wangin lungse yuruk, nga wangin.

and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

3 Nga finne kitala ma luk nukewa ac sang monuk in firiryak — a fin wangin lungse yuruk, nga tia akwoyeyuk kac.

and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

4 Lungse el mongfisrasr ac kulang; lungse el tia sok, lungse el tia sifacna konkin, el tia inse fulat;

The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

5 lungse el tia oru ma sufal, el tia nunku kacl sifacna, el tia sa in mulat, el tia oakla ma koluk orek nu sel.

doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

6 Lungse el tia engan ke ma koluk, a el engan ke ma pwaye.

rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

7 Lungse el tiana fuhleak; el lulalfongi ac finsrak ac muteng in pacl nukewa.

all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

8 Lungse el tiana wanginla. A funu ke kas in palu, ma nu ke kitin pacl; ac mwe sang in kaskas ke siena kain pusra ac fah tui; ac etauk ac fah wanginla pac.

The love doth never fail; and whether [there be] prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

9 Tuh etauk lasr ac fahkak lasr ke kas lun God tiana fonla;

for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;

10 a ke ma su fonla ac suwoslana ac tuku, na ma su tia fonla ac fah wanginla.

and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part shall become useless.

11 Ke nga tulik, nga kaskas oana tulik, etu luk oana etu lun tulik, ac nga nunku oana tulik; a inge ke nga mwet matu, nga sisla ouiya lun tulik.

When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

12 Liye lasr ke God in pacl inge, oana ke kut ngetang nu ke sie selngun ohk; a tok kut fah ngetani sie sin sie. Inge nga etu tafu na; a tok ac fah fonla etu luk — oana ke God El arulana eteyu.

for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;

13 Ac inge oasr lulalfongi, finsrak ac lungse; ac ma se ma yohk sin ma tolu inge pa lungse.

and now there doth remain faith, hope, love — these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.
