1Nanyana ngingakhuluma ngamalimi wabantu namkha weengilozi, kodwana nginganathando, sengifana nekoporo ebanga itjhada namkha isimbi elilako.

2Nanginesiphiwo sokuphorofida, ngikghona ukuzwisisa zoke iimfihlakalo begodu nginelwazi; nginokukholwa okutjhidisa iintaba, kodwana nginganathando, angisililitho.

3Nangipha abadududu koke enginakho benginikele umzimbami ekutjhisweni, kodwana nginganalo ithando, angisililitho.

4Ithando liyabekezela, ithando linesisa, alinamona, alizikhukhumezi, alizitjhayi;

5aliziphathi ngendlela engakafaneli, alizifuneli kwalo, alinasicasucasu, alibibhi imilandu.

6Ithando alithokoziswa bubumbi kodwana lithabela iqiniso,

7lembesa yoke into, likholwa yoke into, lirhuluphela yoke into begodu linyamezelela koke.

8Ithando alihluleki. Kodwana lapha kuneemphorofido khona, zizakuphela; lapha kunamalimi khona, azakuthuliswa; lapha kunelwazi khona, lizakudlula.

9Ngitjho ngombana sazi ingcenye begodu siphorofida ingcenye,

10kodwana nasele kufika ukupheleliswa, ukungakapheleliswa kuyanyamalala.

11Nangisesemntwana bengikhuluma njengomntwana, ngicabanga njengomntwana, ngizwisisa njengomntwana. Kwathi lokha nangiba yindoda, ngahlukana neendlela zobuntwana.

12Kwagadesi sisabona lififi esibonibonini, kodwana ngesikhatheso sizokubonana ubuso nobuso. Okwanje ngazi ingcenye, ngesikhatheso ngizokwazi koke ngokuzeleko njengombana nami ngaziwa ngokuzeleko.

13Nje-ke okuthathu lokhu kujamile: ukukholwa, ithemba nethando. Kodwana okungaphezu kwakho koke lithando.
