1 Akorinto 13
Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero
Kupambana kwa Chikondi
13 Ngakhale nditamayankhula mʼmalilime a anthu ndi a angelo, koma ngati ndilibe chikondi, ndili ngati chinganga chaphokoso kapena ngati chitsulo chosokosera. 2 Ngati ndili ndi mphatso ya uneneri, nʼkumazindikira zinsinsi ndi kudziwa zonse, ndipo ngati ndili ndi chikhulupiriro chosuntha mapiri, koma wopanda chikondi, ine sindili kanthu. 3 Ngati ndipereka zanga zonse kwa osauka ndi kupereka thupi langa kuti alitenthe, koma ngati ndilibe chikondi, ine sindipindula kanthu.
4 Chikondi nʼcholeza mtima, chikondi nʼchokoma mtima, chilibe nsanje, sichidzikuza, sichidzitamandira. 5 Chikondi chilibe mwano, sichodzikonda, sichipsa mtima msanga, sichisunga mangawa. 6 Chikondi sichikondwera ndi zoyipa koma chimakondwera ndi choonadi. 7 Chimatchinjiriza nthawi zonse, chimakhulupirika nthawi zonse, chimakhala ndi chiyembekezo nthawi zonse, chimapirira nthawi zonse.
8 Chikondi ndi chosatha. Koma mphatso ya uneneri idzatha, pamene pali kuyankhula malilime adzatha, pamene pali chidziwitso chidzatha. 9 Pakuti timadziwa zinthu pangʼono chabe ndipo timanenera pangʼono chabe. 10 Koma changwiro chikadzaoneka ndipo chopereweracho chidzatha. 11 Pamene ndinali mwana ndinkayankhula ngati mwana, ndinkaganiza ngati mwana, ndinkalingalira ngati mwana. Koma nditakula, zonse zachibwana ndinazisiya. 12 Pakuti tsopano tiona zinthu mosaoneka bwino ngati mʼgalasi loonera; kenaka tidzaziona maso ndi maso. Tsopano ndidziwa mosakwanira koma kenaka ndidzadziwa mokwanira, monga mmene Mulungu akundidziwira ine.
13 Ndipo tsopano zatsala zinthu zitatu: chikhulupiriro, chiyembekezo ndi chikondi. Koma chachikulu pa zonsezi ndi chikondi.
