1 Kolinitō 13
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
1KA ne ko ʻeku lea ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe kau tangata mo e kau ʻāngelo, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae ʻofa, kuo u tatau mo e ukamea pakihi mo e simipale tatangi.
2And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
2Pea kapau teu faʻa kikite, peau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakalilolilo kotoa pē, mo e ʻilo kotoa pē; pea kapau te u maʻu ʻae tui kotoa pē, teu faʻa hiki ai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻikai te u maʻu mo e ʻofa, ko e meʻa noa pē au.
3If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
3Pea kapau te u ʻatu ʻeku ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke fafanga ʻaki ʻae masiva, pea kapau te u foaki hoku sino ke tutu, pea ʻikai te u maʻu mo e ʻofa, ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻaonga kiate au.
4Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
4ʻOku kātaki fuoloa ʻae ʻofa, pea ʻoku angalelei ia; ʻoku ʻikai meheka ʻae ʻofa; ʻoku ʻikai fielahi ʻae ʻofa, pe fakafuofuolahi ia,
5or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
5ʻOku ʻikai ke fai taʻengali ha meʻa, ʻoku ʻikai ke kumi ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana, ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻitangofua, ʻoku ʻikai ke mahalo kovi;
6it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
6ʻOku ʻikai ke fiefia ʻi he angahala, ka ʻoku fiefia ia ʻi he moʻoni;
7Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
7ʻOku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku tui ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku kātaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
8Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
8ʻOku ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ʻo ngata ʻae ʻofa: ka ko e ngaahi kikite, ʻe ngata ia; pe ko e ngaahi lea, ʻe ngata ia; pe ko e ʻilo meʻa ʻe mole atu ia.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
9He ʻoku tau ʻilo fakakonga pe, pea kikite fakakonga pe.
10but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
10Pea ʻoka hokosia ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa, ʻe mole atu ʻaia ʻoku fakakonga pe.
11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
11ʻI heʻeku kei siʻi, ne u lea fakatamasiʻi, peau ʻilo fakatamasiʻi, peau mahalo fakatamasiʻi: ka ʻi heʻeku hoko ko e tangata, ne u tukuange ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatamasiʻi.
12For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
12He ko eni, ʻoku tau fakaʻasiʻasi ʻi he sioʻata fakapoʻupoʻuli; ka ʻe ʻi ai ʻae mata ki he mata: ʻoku ou ʻilo fakakonga eni; ka te u ʻilo ai, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko hono ʻiloʻi au.
13So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
13Pea ko eni, ʻoku ai ʻae tui, mo e ʻamanaki lelei, mo e ʻofa, ko e tolu ni; ka ko ia ʻoku lahi hake ʻi ai ko e ʻofa.
