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

¹Kana sai dava duma sa le shiba le manushenge ai le angelonge, ai te nai ma e dragimos, murhe vorbe si sar iek shumo kai mares ande duba.

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.

²Ai vi te avela ma e podarka te zhanas so si te avel katar O Del, ai vi te avela ma sa e goji, ai te haliarav sa le shodeni, ai vi sa o pachamos kai sai te mishtiv le plaia, numa te nai ma e dragostia, chi sim kanchi.

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.

³Ai kana dava ma murhe mishtimos po xabe le chorenge, kana dava vi murho stato te phabol, ai te nai ma e dragostia, kodo chi zhutil ma kanchi.

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

⁴E dragostia si la rhavda, ai pher lashimos; e dragostia nai zhaluzo. E dragostia chi bariarelpe, chi luvudilpe ai chi kerel barimata.

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

⁵E dragostia chi kerel kanchi kai nai barimasko, chi rodel peske mishtimos, chi xoliavol, chi del pe goji ka bi lashimos.

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

⁶E dragostia chi raduilpe ka bezex, numa raduilpe ka chachimos.

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

⁷E dragostia iertil sa, pachal sa, azhukerel sa, ai rhevdil sa.

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

⁸E dragostia shoxar chi xasavol: profesi getolape; le shiba ai o zhanglimos xasavona.

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

⁹Ke ame zhanas xantsi, ai xantsi phenas so si te avel.

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

¹⁰Numa kana so si vorta avela, so si dopash xasavola.

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.

¹¹Kana simas glata, davas duma sar iek glata, haliaravas sar iek glata, gindivas sar iek glata; kana barilem kerdilem baro manush, kerdem te xasavol so sas la glatako.

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.

¹²Akana dikhas ande glinda, sar tuniariko, numa dikhasa mui moste. Akana chi zhanav sa, antunchi zhanava sa sar O Del zhanel ma.

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

¹³Ai akana kadala trin dieli beshen, o pachamos, o azhukerimos, e dragostia, numa e mai bari anda kadala dieli si e dragostia.
