1 Ŵakolinto 2

1 Achalongo achinjangu, uneji panaiche kukwenu kukunnalichila ngani ja ntemela wa Akunnungu, nganimecheta maloŵe ga kunonopa namose lunda lwa chiundu.

And I, having come unto you, brethren, came — not in superiority of discourse or wisdom — declaring to you the testimony of God,

2 Pakuŵa panaliji kukwenu nawamwiwe ninamanyilile chindu chachili chose nambo kwamanyilila Che Yesu Kilisito pe, ajula juŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba.

for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

3 Panaiche kukwenu naliji jwakulepetala, ni natetemele kwa lipamba.

and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

4 Majiganyo gangu ni kulalichila kwangu nganikuŵa kwa lunda lwa kwanyenga ŵandu, nambo yaliji kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.

and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human 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 may not be in the wisdom of men, but in 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)

And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age — of those becoming useless, (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 the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to 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 no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified; (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, according as it hath been written, 'What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving 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 did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

11 Ngapagwa mundu jwakwimanyilila nganisyo sya mundu ikaŵe mundu nsyenepe. Iyoyo ni indu ya Akunnungu ngapagwa jwakwimanyilila ikaŵe Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.

for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

12 Uwe nganitupochela mbumu jwa pachilambo pano, nambo twampochele Mbumu jwatyochele kwa Akunnungu, kuti tumanyilile indu yose yatupele Akunnungu.

And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

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.

which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,

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.

and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know [them], because spiritually they are discerned;

15 Mundu jwali ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akukombola kuipima indu yose nambo ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kunlamula.

and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

16 Mpela itite pakulembekwa Mmalembelo Gamaswela “Nduni jwaaumanyi umanyilisi wa Ambuje? Nduni jwakukombola kwajiganya?” Nambo uweji tukwete umanyilisi wa Kilisito.

for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we — we have the mind of Christ.
