1 Korinthians 2

1 Ninton wo me ye niyi mir vayi mena ye ni gwa ninta ko ni hi kima na nitre irji, ni bunko kpi bi biwa ba rhiba gamee ni tre Rji wa me kpayem ni wu.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

2 Ninto wa mw yo suron mena takpe na nintu, me na he niyi na, sai de Yesu kristi, wa bi kle ni gicciye ni.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 Me he niyi ni mi ya ni sisir ni wer Kpa gbugbu'u.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4 Nitre mu, ni dubu mu banahe gur hankali wukpi wa he nimi hiki ma na iye ni zho Ruhu mai-sarki ni iko.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5 Ana niyo suron mbi tu kpe wu biki ma ndi du hei wu Rji.

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Zizan ki tre wu hikima ni biwa kuson kpan kpan ahna biwa boo he ni biki ma gbu-gbu'u ko hi son ni mulki wu ton yi wukle yi wa ba ki wace. (aiōn g165)

However we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (aiōn g165)

7 Naki ki tre nitu hikima wu Rji wa a riri da wu jaji wa bariyi ni hikima wu Rji wahe riri tun niton dau kako ima. (aiōn g165)

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world to our glory: (aiōn g165)

8 Dubircu bi zizan ha na tou ki na, ba di na to niton mu ba di na kpayem do glo Yesu zu dakaka na. (aiōn g165)

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 Wunaki nitrema, Rashishi wato, u ba ton awo ba suron ndi wa taba rhimere kpi biwa Irji a tiba nibawu ba wa ba kpayeme niwu.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 Ama ikpi biyi Irji a tsor ta ni zo Ruhu. Nakiyi Ruhu niya kpi biwa bahe ni zurfi wu Rji.

But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, even, the deep things of God.

11 Anha to mi suron ndi, naki se de ruhu wa a he nindi? naki ba indi wato du kpi bi zurfi wu Rji saide Ruhu Rji

For what man knoweth the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Naki kina kpa ruhu wu gbungbu'u na, a Ruhu wa ahi kina kpa ruhu wu Rji kima wakya nito kpi ni shishi wa Rji a nota.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

13 Ki tre ni tu kpi biyi ba ni klama wa ndi ba tsro ta ni hikima ndi ba ama ni Ruhu wa w tsou kpi bi ruhu ni ndi bi ruhu.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 Wa ana he ni Ruhu na ana kpa kpi bi Ruhu Rji na, ba zama kpi bi wauta niwu. Ana iya datoba na, don ba kpi bi ruhu.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 Wa he ni Ruhaniya ani shari anta kpi ba na duki naki ama bari ba na sharanta u na.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged by no man.

16 “A nha iya tou suron Rji wa ni iya do tre wawu ni tsro wu?” Duk naki kita kihe ni suron u vera Rji.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
