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.

¹Keby som hovoril ľudskými jazyky aj anjelskými, a keby som nemal lásky, bol by som cvendžiacim kovom alebo zvučiacim zvonom.

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.

²A keby som mal proroctvo a vedel všetky tajomstvá a mal každú vedomosť a keby som mal akúkoľvek vieru, takže by som vrchy prenášal a lásky keby som nemal, nič nie som.

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.

³A keby som vynaložil na dobročinnosť všetko svoje imanie a keby som vydal svoje telo, aby som bol upálený, a lásky keby som nemal, nič mi to neprospieva.

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

⁴Láska zhovieva, je dobrotivá; láska nezávidí; láska sa nechlúbi, nenadúva sa,

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

⁵nechová sa neslušne, nehľadá svojho vlastného, nerozhorčuje sa, nemyslí na zlé,

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

⁶neraduje sa neprávosti, ale sa spolu raduje pravde;

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

⁷všetko znáša, všetko verí, všetkého sa nadeje, všetko nesie trpezlive.

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.

⁸Láska nikdy neprestáva. Ale buď proroctvá, budú zmarené; buď jazyky, umĺknu; buď veda, bude zmarená.

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

⁹Lebo z čiastky známe a z čiastky prorokujeme;

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

¹⁰ale keď prijde to, čo je dokonalé, vtedy to z čiastky bude zmarené.

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.

¹¹Keď som bol dieťa, vravel som ako dieťa, myslel som ako dieťa, rozumoval som ako dieťa. Ale keď som sa stal mužom, zanechal som detské veci.

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.

¹²Lebo teraz vidíme v zrkadle, v záhade, ale potom tvárou v tvár; teraz poznávam z čiastky, ale potom poznám dokonale tak, ako aj som poznaný.

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

¹³A teraz zostáva viera, nádej a láska, to troje, ale najväčšia z nich je láska.
