Could anyone translate this verse from the Bible please?
Thank you!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Alma

This is taken from An Bíobla Naofa, published in 1981 by An Sagart. The text differs from what you give for verses 7 & 8.

1 Corantaigh 13:4-8
Bíonn an grá foighneach agus bíonn sé lách;
ní bhíonn éad air;
ní dhéanann sé maíomh na mórtas;
ní bhíonn sé mímhúinte ná leithleasach, míchéadfach ná agrach
Ní áil leis an éagóir ach is aoibhinn leis an mhaith.
Bíonn sé lán d'fhadfhulaingt, lán de chreideamh, lán de dhóchas, agus lán d'fhoighne.
(Rachaidh an fháidheoireacht ar ceal, rachaidh na teangacha dá dtost, agus rachaidh an t-eolas ar neamhní, ach) ní rachaidh an grá i léig go deo.

The text in brackets comes after your verse 8.
Verse 7 is closer to the King James' version:
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
and the Vulgate
13:7 omnia suffert omnia credit omnia sperat omnia sustinet

You can buy a Bible as Gaeilge (I would guess it is the same one the Aonghus refered to, but I don't know for sure) from Irishbook.com at:

http://www.irishbook.com/vIndex.htm

Scroll down on the left side and look for "An Bíobla Naofa/Bible".

You would guess correctly!
