1 Ŵakolinto 2
1 Achalongo achinjangu, uneji panaiche kukwenu kukunnalichila ngani ja ntemela wa Akunnungu, nganimecheta maloŵe ga kunonopa namose lunda lwa chiundu.
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.
2 Pakuŵa panaliji kukwenu nawamwiwe ninamanyilile chindu chachili chose nambo kwamanyilila Che Yesu Kilisito pe, ajula juŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba.
For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 Panaiche kukwenu naliji jwakulepetala, ni natetemele kwa lipamba.
When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.
4 Majiganyo gangu ni kulalichila kwangu nganikuŵa kwa lunda lwa kwanyenga ŵandu, nambo yaliji kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 Natesile yele kuti chikulupi chenu chikakulupilila lunda lwa ŵandu, nambo chikulupililo cha machili ga Akunnungu.
that your faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God.
6 Tukulalichila utenga wa lunda kwa aŵala ŵakusile mu chikulupi nambo ngaŵa lunda lwa chilambo chino, namose ngaŵa lunda lwa aŵala achakulu ŵa chilambo chi ŵaali mumpingo wakupotela. (aiōn g165)
We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature, but a wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)
7 Tukunlalichila lunda lwa Akunnungu lwalusisiche, alula lunda luŵalusagwile Akunnungu kwaligongo lya kulumbikana mu ukulu wao chikanaŵe gumbikwa chilambo. (aiōn g165)
But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God determined in advance before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)
8 Nganijupagwa namose jwankulu jumo mwa ŵakutawala chilambo chi jwalumanyilile lunda lu. Akalumanyilile ngakammambe pa nsalaba Ambuje ŵa ukulu. (aiōn g165)
which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
9 Nambo mpela itite pakulembekwa Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Indu yanganiiwoneche atamuno kupikanika indu yanti ngapagwa mundu jwawayiye kuganisya yele ni indu iŵaŵichile chile Akunnungu aŵala ŵakwanonyela.”
But as it is written, No eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who love him.
10 Nambo Akunnungu atuunukulile uweji yantemela yakwe kwalitala lya Mbumu jwakwe. Pakuŵa Mbumu jo akulolesyalolesya kila chindu natamuno indu yantemela yaikwagamba Akunnungu.
But to us God revealed it through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11 Ngapagwa mundu jwakwimanyilila nganisyo sya mundu ikaŵe mundu nsyenepe. Iyoyo ni indu ya Akunnungu ngapagwa jwakwimanyilila ikaŵe Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
For what person knows the things of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
12 Uwe nganitupochela mbumu jwa pachilambo pano, nambo twampochele Mbumu jwatyochele kwa Akunnungu, kuti tumanyilile indu yose yatupele Akunnungu.
But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
13 Kwapele ngatukusala maloŵe ga kwa lunda lwalukujiganyikwa ni ŵandu nambo tukusala maloŵe ga kwa lunda lwalukujiganyikwa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu. Tukutagula indu ya Mbumu jwa usyene kwa aŵala ŵaali ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
And we speak of these things, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
14 Nambo mundu jwanganakola Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ngakukombola kuipochela indu yaikutyochela kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu. Pakuŵa kukwakwe akuiwona ili uloŵelo ni ngakukombola kuimanyilila pakuŵa ikumanyika kwa ukamusyo wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
Now the natural person does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 Mundu jwali ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akukombola kuipima indu yose nambo ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kunlamula.
But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
16 Mpela itite pakulembekwa Mmalembelo Gamaswela “Nduni jwaaumanyi umanyilisi wa Ambuje? Nduni jwakukombola kwajiganya?” Nambo uweji tukwete umanyilisi wa Kilisito.
For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
