I Corinthians 13

Menm si mwen ta konn pale tout kalite lang moun pale ansanm ak lang zanj yo pale, si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', bèl pawòl mwen yo pa pi plis pase yon tanbou k'ap fè anpil bwi, pase yon klòch k'ap sonnen.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Menm si mwen ta gen don pou m' fè konnen mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, menm si mwen ta gen tout kalite konesans, menm si mwen ta konprann tout ti sekrè ki kache, menm si mwen ta gen konfyans anpil nan Bondye pou m' fè mòn yo chanje plas, si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', mwen pa anyen.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Menm si mwen ta bay tout byen mwen yo, menm si mwen ta bay kò m' pou yo boule l', si m' pa gen renmen nan kè m', sa p'ap sèvi m' anyen.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li gen pasyans, li gen bon kè, li p'ap anvye sò lòt moun. Li p'ap fè grandizè, li p'ap gonfle ak lògèy.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li p'ap fè anyen ki pou fè moun wont, li p'ap chache avantaj pa l', li p'ap fè kòlè, li p'ap kenbe moun nan kè.

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li p'ap pran plezi l' nan sa ki mal, li pran plezi l' nan sa ki vre.

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Moun ki gen renmen nan kè li sipòte tout bagay: nan nenpòt ki sitiyasyon, li toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye, li p'ap janm pèdi espwa, l'ap toujou moutre jan li gen pasyans.

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

renmen pa janm fini. Pouvwa pou bay mesaj ki soti nan men Bondye a pa la pou tout tan. Pouvwa pou pale langaj gen pou fini yon lè, konesans gen pou disparèt.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Paske, sa nou konnen, nou pa fin konnen l' nèt. Ata mesaj ki soti nan Bondye yo, nou pa fin bay yo nèt.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

Men, lè sa ki bon nèt la va vini, sa ki poko fin bon an gen pou l' disparèt.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

Lè m' te timoun, mwen te pale tankou timoun, mwen te konprann tankou timoun, mwen te fè tèt mwen travay tankou timoun. Men, koulye a mwen fin gran, mwen kite tou sa timoun te konn fè.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Konsa tou, sa nou wè koulye a, se tankou yon pòtre n'ap gade yon jan twoub twoub nan yon glas. Men, pita nou pral wè fasafas. Koulye a nou pa fin konn tout bagay. Men, pita n'a konnen nèt ale menm jan Bondye konnen nou an.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Koulye a se twa bagay sa yo ki toujou la: se konfyans, se espwa, se renmen. Men, nan twa bagay sa yo, se renmen ki pi gran.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
