1 Corinthians 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal.	1 Kad bih sve jezike ljudske govorio i anđeoske, a ljubavi ne bih imao, bio bih mjed što ječi ili cimbal što zveči.
2 And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing.	2 Kad bih imao dar prorokovanja i znao sva otajstva i sve spoznanje; i kad bih imao svu vjeru da bih i gore premještao, a ljubavi ne bih imao – ništa sam!
3 And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing.	3 I kad bih razdao sav svoj imutak i kad bih predao tijelo svoje da se sažeže, a ljubavi ne bih imao – ništa mi ne bi koristilo.
4 Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated.	4 Ljubav je velikodušna, dobrostiva je ljubav, ne zavidi, ljubav se ne hvasta, ne nadima se;
5 Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil.	5 nije nepristojna, ne traži svoje, nije razdražljiva, ne pamti zlo;
6 Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.	6 ne raduje se nepravdi, a raduje se istini;
7 Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all.	7 sve pokriva, sve vjeruje, svemu se nada, sve podnosi.
8 Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed.	8 Ljubav nikad ne prestaje. Prorokovanja? Uminut će. Jezici? Umuknut će. Spoznanje? Uminut će.
9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part.	9 Jer djelomično je naše spoznanje, i djelomično prorokovanje.
10 But when the perfect arrives, the imperfect passes away.	10 A kada dođe ono savršeno, uminut će ovo djelomično.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I put aside the things of a child.	11 Kad bijah nejače, govorah kao nejače, mišljah kao nejače, rasuđivah kao nejače. A kad postadoh zreo čovjek, odbacih ono nejačko.
12 Now we see through a glass darkly. But then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I am known.	12 Doista, sada gledamo kroza zrcalo, u zagonetki, a tada – licem u lice! Sada spoznajem djelomično, a tada ću spoznati savršeno, kao što sam i spoznat!
13 But for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and charity. And the greatest of these is charity.	13 A sada: ostaju vjera, ufanje i ljubav – to troje – ali najveća je među njima ljubav.
