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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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