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

¹If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

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 mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but 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 shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.

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

⁴Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous [of others]; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,

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

⁵does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,

⁶Ezta bidegabeaz alegueratzen, baina alegueratzen da eguiaz.

⁶does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,

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

⁷bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

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

⁸Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.

⁹Ecen partez eçagutzen dugu eta partez prophetizatzen.

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

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

¹⁰but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.

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 child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I had done with what belonged to the child.

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 dim window obscurely, but then face to face; now I know partially, but then I shall know according as I also have been known.

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

¹³And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these [is] love.
