¹Haddaan ku hadlo afafka dadka iyo malaa'igaha, laakiinse aanan jacayl lahayn, waxaan noqday naxaas dhawaaqaysa ama saxan bir ah oo sanqadhaya oo kale.

¹If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

²Oo haddaan leeyahay hadiyadda wax sii sheegidda, oo aan garanayo waxyaalaha qarsoon oo dhan iyo aqoonta oo dhan, iyo haddaan leeyahay rumaysadka oo dhan oo aan buuraha ku dhaqaajiyo, laakiinse aanan jacayl lahayn, waxba ma ihi.

²If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

³Oo wax kastaan leeyahay haddaan bixiyo oo masaakiinta ku quudiyo, iyo haddaan jidhkayga bixiyo in la gubo, laakiinse aanan jacayl lahayn, waxba ii tari maayo.

³If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

⁴Jacaylku waa samir badan yahay, waana raxiim, jacaylku ninna ma xasdo, jacaylku ma faano, mana kibro,

⁴Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

⁵wax aan u ekayn ma falo, nafsaddiisana wax uma doondoono, mana xanaaqo, sharna kuma fikiro,

⁵doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

⁶xaqdarrada kuma farxo, laakiin wuxuu ku farxaa runta.

⁶doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

⁷Wax walba wuu u dulqaataa, wax walba wuu rumaystaa, wax walba wuu rajeeyaa, wax walba wuu u adkaystaa.

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

⁸Jacaylku weligii ma idlaado. Hadday wax sii sheegiddii jirto, way baabbi'i doontaa, hadday afaf jiraan way dhammaan doonaan, hadday aqooni jirto way baabbi'i doontaa.

⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

⁹Waayo, waxaynu naqaan waa qabyo, oo si qabyo ahaan ah ayaynu wax u sii sheegnaa.

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

¹⁰Laakiin markii waxa dhammi ay yimaadaan, waxa qabyada ahi way idlaan doonaan.

¹⁰but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.

¹¹Markaan ilmo yar ahaan jiray, sidii ilmo oo kale ayaan u hadli jiray, sidii ilmo oo kale ayaan wax u garan jiray, sidii ilmo oo kale ayaan u fikiri jiray, laakiinse haatan waxaan noqday nin weyn, oo waxyaalihii carruurnimada waan iska fogeeyey.

¹¹When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.

¹²Haatan si aan caddaan ahayn ayaynu muraayad wax ugu aragnaa, laakiin markaas ka fool ka fool ayaynu wax u arki doonnaa. Hadda si qabyo ahaan ah ayaan wax u garanayaa, laakiin markaas waxaan u garan doonaa sidii la ii gartay.Haddabase waxa waaraa waa saddexdan, rumaysad iyo rajo iyo jacayl; laakiin kuwan waxaa ugu wada weyn jacayl.

¹²For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

¹³Haddabase waxa waaraa waa saddexdan, rumaysad iyo rajo iyo jacayl; laakiin kuwan waxaa ugu wada weyn jacayl.

¹³But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
