I received the New Testament in Chamorro last January. But when I received it, I couldn’t read it because all of its writing was beyond my level of comprehension. But I tried to read it again during Christmas, and I can now read and understand a lot! I would like to translate the verses about love from 1 Corinthians, because it is well known and very beautiful. This post includes the Chamorro text, an English translation and an audio narration by Schyuler Lujan of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13, from the Nuebu Testamento out of Saipan from the late Bishop Tomas A. Camacho. Happy reading!
