I Corinthians 13

Na dia miteny amin'ny fitenin'ny olona sy ny anjely aza aho, kanefa tsy manana fitiavana, dia tonga varahina maneno sy kipantsona mikarantsana aho.

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.

Ary na dia manana faminaniana aza aho ka mahalala ny zava-miafina rehetra sady manana ny fahalalana rehetra, ary na dia manana ny finoana rehetra aza aho ka mahafindra tendrombohitra, kanefa tsy manana fitiavana, dia tsinontsinona aho.

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.

Ary na dia omeko hohanin'ny malahelo aza ny fananako rehetra, ary na dia atolotro hodorana aza ny tenako, kanefa tsy manana fitiavana aho, dia tsy mahasoa ahy akory izany.

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.

Ny fitiavana mahari-po sady mora fanahy; ny fitiavana tsy mialona, tsy mirehareha, tsy mieboebo,

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

tsy manao izay tsy mahamendrika, tsy mitady ny azy, tsy mora sosotra, tsy manao otri-po,

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

tsy mifaly amin'ny tsi-fahamarinana, fa miara-mifaly amin'ny fahamarinana kosa,

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

mandefitra ny zavatra rehetra, mino ny zavatra rehetra, manantena ny zavatra rehetra, maharitra ny zavatra rehetra.

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

Ny fitiavana tsy ho levona mandrakizay; fa raha ny faminaniana, dia ho levona; na ny fiteny tsy fantatra, dia hitsahatra; na ny fahalalana, dia ho foana.

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.

Fa sombintsombiny ny fahalalantsika, ary sombintsombiny ny faminaniantsika;

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

fa rehefa tonga ny tanteraka, dia tsy hisy sombintsombiny intsony.

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

Fony mbola zaza aho, dia niteny toy ny zaza, nihevitra toy ny zaza, nisaina toy ny zaza; fa nony efa lehibe aho, dia nariako ny fahazazana.

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.

Fa ankehitriny isika mizaha ao amin'ny fitaratra ka tsy mahita marina; fa rahatrizay dia mifanatrika; ankehitriny sombintsombiny no fantatro; fa rahatrizay dia ho fantatro tsara toy izay nahafantarana ahy.

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.

Ary ankehitriny dia ireto telo ireto no mitoetra: ny finoana, ny fanantenana, ny fitiavana: fa ny fitiavana no lehibe amin'ireo.

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