¹Baldin guiçonén eta Aingueruen lengoagez minça banadi, eta charitateric eztudan, eguin naiz cobre soinu eguiten duenaren, edo cymbala dindatzen duenaren pare.

¹If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;

²Eta baldin banu prophetiazco dohaina, eta naquizquian mysterio guciac eta scientia gucia: eta nuen fede gucia, hambat non mendiac transporta nitzan, eta charitateric eztudan, deus eznaiz.

²and 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;

³Eta baldin distribui baditzat neure on guciac paubrén hatzeco, eta baldin eman badeçat neure gorputza erre içateco, eta charitateric eztudan, etzait deus probetchatzen.

³and 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.

⁴Charitatea patient da, benigno da, charitatea ezta inuidioso: charitateac eztu insolentiaric, eta ezta hancen:

⁴The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

⁵Eztu deshonestateric eguiten, eztabila bere probetchuén ondoan, ezta despitatzen: eztu gaitzic pensatzen:

⁵doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

⁶Ezta bidegabeaz alegueratzen, baina alegueratzen da eguiaz.

⁶rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

⁷Gauça guciac pairatzen ditu, gauça guciac sinhesten ditu, gauça guciac speratzen ditu, gauça guciac suffritzen ditu.

⁷all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

⁸Charitatea nehoiz-ere ezta erorten: baina are prophetiác abolituren dirade, eta lengoagéc fin harturen duté, eta scientiá abolituren da.

⁸The love doth never fail; and whether [there be] prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

⁹Ecen partez eçagutzen dugu eta partez prophetizatzen.

⁹for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;

¹⁰Eta perfectionea ethorri datenean, orduan partez dena abolituren date.

¹⁰and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part shall become useless.

¹¹Haourra nincenean, haour anço minço nincén, haour anço iugeatzen nuen, haour anço pensatzen nuen: baina guiçon eguin naicenean, abolitu vkan ditut haourtassuneco manerác.

¹¹When 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;

¹²Ecen orain mirail batez ikusten dugu ilhunqui: baina orduan beguithartez beguitharte ikussiren dugu: orain eçagutzen dut partez, baina orduan eçaguturen dut eçagutu-ere naicén beçala.

¹²for 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;

¹³Bada orain badaude hirur gauça hauc, fedea, sperançá, charitatea: baina hautarico handiena charitatea da.

¹³and now there doth remain faith, hope, love — these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.
