1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
Lè m te vin kote nou, frè m yo, mwen pa t vini avèk yon wotè langaj oubyen sajès pou pwokame a nou temwayaj Bondye a.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Paske mwen te detèmine pou m pa konnen anyen pami nou, sof Jésus Kri, e Sila krisifye a.
3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
Mwen te avèk nou nan feblès, laperèz, ak anpil tranbleman.
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Epi mesaj mwen avèk predikasyon mwen pa t fèt avèk pawòl sajès pou fè moun kwè, men nan demonstrasyon Lespri a ak pouvwa a,
5 that your faith would not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
pou lafwa nou pa t repoze sou sajès a lòm, men sou pouvwa Bondye a.
6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this age (aiōn g165) nor of the rulers of this age (aiōn g165) who are coming to nothing.
Malgre sa, nou konn pale sajès pami sila ki gen tanfin grandi. Se yon sajès ki pa sòti ni nan tan sila a, ni nan chèf a tan sila yo, k ap pase. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the ages (aiōn g165) for our glory,
Men nou pale sajès Bondye nan yon mistè, sajès kache ke Bondye te planifye menm avan tan yo pou laglwa nou; (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this age (aiōn g165) has known. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
sajès ke okenn nan chèf a tan sila yo pa konprann. Paske si yo te konprann li, yo pa t ap krisifye Senyè laglwa a. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, “Things which an eye did not see, and an ear did not hear, which did not enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”
Men jan sa ekri a: “Bagay ke zye pa wè e zòrèy pa tande, ki pa janm antre nan kè a lòm; tout sa Bondye prepare pou sila ki renmen Li yo.”
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Paske a nou menm Bondye te revele yo pa Lespri a. Paske Lespri a toujou sonde tout bagay, menm jis nan pwofondè Bondye a.
11 For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.
Paske kilès pami lòm ki konnen panse a lòm eksepte lespri a lòm ki anndan li menm nan? Menm jan an, panse a Bondye yo; pèsòn pa konnen yo eksepte Lespri Bondye a.
12 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.
Alò, nou pa resevwa, lespri mond lan, men Lespri ki sòti nan Bondye a, pou nou kapab konnen bagay ke Bondye bannou gratis yo.
13 We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
Sou bagay sa yo nou pa pale ak pawòl sajès de moun ki soti nan lòm, men pito ak pawòl Lespri Sen an, ki konpare bagay lespri yo ak bagay lespri yo.
14 Now the natural man does not receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Men yon nonm nan eta natirèl li, pa aksepte bagay a Lespri Bondye yo, paske se foli yo ye pou li. Li pa kapab konprann yo, paske yo ka jije sèlman pa yon lespri k ap viv nan Bondye.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
Men sila ki reflechi ak yon lespri ki soti nan Bondye a, jije tout bagay, men li menm p ap jije pa okenn moun.
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
“Paske kilès ki te konnen refleksyon Senyè a, pou li ta enstwi Li?” Men se panse a Kris nou genyen.
