¹Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

¹Ane rapa' -na mporata-ta pakulea' ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' bona mololita hante wori' nyala basa manusia' ba basa-ra mala'eka wo'o, tapi' ane uma ria ahi' -ta hi doo, uma ria kalaua-na. Bate-na hewa goo' to pario-wadi ba hewa tinti' to padudu-wadi pololita-ta, uma ria kalaua-na.

²And 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.

²Ane rapa' -na mporata-ta pakulea' mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala pai' -ta mporata hawe'ea pe'inca ngkai Alata'ala duu' -na ta'inca hawe'ea to uma ra'incai doo; pai' ane moroho pepangala' -ta duu' -na ma'ala-ta mpopentoli bulu'; tapi' ane uma ria ahi' -ta hi doo, uma ntoto ria tuju-na tuwu' -ta.

³And 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.

³Ane hawe'ea rewa-ta tawai' -raka tokabu, pai' ane ta'agi mate ratunu sabana petuku' -ta hi Pue' Yesus, tapi' ane uma ria ahi' -ta hi doo, uma ria kalaua-na tuwu' -ta.

⁴Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁴To ra'uli' mpoka'ahi' doo-le, mosabara pai' lompe' nono, uma mohingi', uma mpope'une', uma molangko nono.

⁵Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

⁵Uma mokasara hi doo, uma-ta ntora mpopali' konoa-ta moto, uma jolia morani' nono, uma mowuku nono.

⁶Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

⁶Ane ma'ahi' -ta hi doo, batua-na, uma-ta goe' ane masala' -i, goe' -ta ane monoa' -i.

⁷Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁷Ane ma'ahi' -ta hi doo, batua-na, tapengkatarii butu nyala kehi-na to uma tapokonoi, taparasaya oa' kehi to lompe' ngkai doo, tasarumaka kalompe' -na mpai' kehi-na, pai' mosabara oa' -ta nau' ba napa-napa anu merata.

⁸Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

⁸Ahi' uma ria kahudua-na. Tapi' ane ria pakulea' -ta mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala, bate rata mpai' tempo-na pakulea' -ta toe uma-pi ria. Ane ria pakulea' -ta mololita hante basa to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', rata mpai' tempo-na pakulea' -ta toe mento'o-mi. Ane mporata-ta pe'inca to ngkai Alata'ala, rata mpai' tempo-na pe'inca-ta toe uma-pi raparaluu.

⁹For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

⁹Apa' tempo toi, pe'inca to tarata ngkai Alata'ala, ria kotoa-na. Pai' pakulea' -ta mpohowa' lolita Alata'ala uma wo'o hono'.

¹⁰But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

¹⁰Aga ane rata-damo mpai' tempo-na Alata'ala mpakahono' hawe'ea-na, uma-pi taparaluu pakulea' to uma hono' toe we'i lau.

¹¹When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

¹¹Rapa' -na bula-ku kedi' -pidi, mololita-a hewa ana' to kedi', nono-ku hewa ana' kedi', pekiri-ku hewa ana' kedi'. Tapi' tempo toi, kama-ama, kehi ka'anaa' -ku kubahaka-mi. Wae wo'o, pakulea' to tarata ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' uma tida duu' kahae-hae-na.

¹²For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

¹²Apa' tempo toi, kita' hewa tauna to mponaa lence hi pampewao' to mogawu, apa' ko'ia ta'incai hawe'ea-na hante kanoto-noto-na. Mpeno-damo pai' lako' tapaha hawe'ea-na, apa' tahilo-i Alata'ala wingke-ngkawingke. Tempo toi, ko'ia hono' pe'inca-ku. Mpeno-damo pai' lako' ku'inca mpu'u, hewa Alata'ala wo'o mpo'inca-a.

¹³And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

¹³Jadi', tempo toi, to tolu nyala toi kana tababehi: mepangala' hi Alata'ala, ncarumaka janci-na Alata'ala, pai' mpoka'ahi' doo. Aga ngkai to tolu nyala toe, to meliu mpu'u: mpoka'ahi' doo.
