< 1 Corinthians 2 >

1 Brothers and sisters, when I came to you I didn't try to impress you with wonderful words or great wisdom when I told you what God had to say to you.
Idi immayak kadakayo, kakabsat a lallaki ken babbai, saanak nga immay nga addaan iti kinalaing iti panagsao wenno kinasirib kas inwaragawagko dagiti nakalemmeng a kinapudno maipanggep iti Dios.
2 I decided that while I was with you I didn't want to concentrate on anything except Jesus Christ, and that he was crucified.
Ta inkeddengko nga awan iti ammok idi addaak kadakayo malaksid kenni Jesu-Cristo, ken iti pannakailansana.
3 I came to you in weakness, fearful and trembling.
Ken addaak kadakayo iti kinakapuy, ken iti buteng ken iti kasta unay a panagpigerger.
4 I didn't speak to you with persuasive words of wisdom to convince you. I just explained it all to you through the evidence and power of the Spirit.
Ken ti mensahek ken iti panangiwaragawagko ket saan nga iti makaallukoy a sasao ti kinasirib. Ngem ketdi, addada ti panangilawlawag ti Espiritu ken ti pannakabalin,
5 That way your trust in God wouldn't rely on human wisdom but on the power of God.
tapno ti pammatiyo ket saan nga iti kinasirib dagiti tattao, ngem iti pannakabalin ti Dios.
6 However, we do use words of wisdom when we speak to those who are spiritually mature, but this isn't wisdom that comes from this world, or from the rulers of this world who soon fade from the scene. (aiōn g165)
Ita, agsaokami ti kinasirib kadagiti nataengan, ngem saan a ti kinasirib iti daytoy a lubong, wenno kadagiti agturturay iti daytoy a tawen, a mapukpukawen. (aiōn g165)
7 On the contrary we explain God's wisdom in terms of a revealed mystery that was previously hidden which God planned for our glory before the creation of the worlds. (aiōn g165)
Ngem ketdi, ibagami ti kinasirib ti Dios iti nailemmeng a kinapudno, ti nailemmeng a kinasirib nga inkeddeng ti Dios sakbay dagiti tawtawen para iti dayagtayo. (aiōn g165)
8 None of the rulers of this world understood anything about this—for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Awan kadagiti agtuturay iti daytoy a tawen ti makaammo iti daytoy a kinasirib, ta no naawatanda daytoy iti dayta a tiempo, saanda koma nga inlansa iti krus ti Apo iti dayag. (aiōn g165)
9 But as Scripture says, “No one has ever seen, and no one has ever heard, and no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
Ngem kas naisurat, “Banbanag nga awan ti nakakita, awan pay nakangngeg, awan iti nakaarapaap, dagiti banbanag nga insagana ti Dios maipaay kadagidiay mangay-ayat kenkuana.”
10 But God has revealed this to us through the Spirit, because the Spirit delves into the depths of God.
Dagitoy dagiti banbanag nga imparangarang ti Dios kadatayo babaen iti Espiritu. Ta suksukimaten ti Espiritu dagiti amin a banag, uray dagiti nauuneg a banbanag iti Dios.
11 Who knows anyone's thoughts except the actual person? In the same way no one knows God's thoughts except the Spirit of God.
Ta siasino iti makaammo kadagiti kapanunotan ti tao malaksid ti espiritu iti daytoy a tao nga adda kenkuana? Kasta met, awan iti makaammo kadagiti nauuneg a banbanag ti Dios malaksid iti Espiritu ti Dios.
12 For we have received the Spirit from God, not the spirit of this world, so that we could understand what God so generously gave us.
Ngem saantayo nga inawat ti espiritu iti lubong, ngem ti Espiritu a naggapu iti Dios, tapno maamoantayo dagiti banbanag a siwayawaya nga inted ti Dios kadatayo.
13 That's what we speak about—not using words taught by human wisdom, but what the Spirit teaches. We explain what is spiritual using spiritual terms.
Agsaokami maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag iti sasao a saan a maisuro ti kinasirib iti tao, ngem ti isursuro iti Espiritu kadakami. Ipatpatarus ti Espiritu dagiti naespirituan a sasao iti naespirituan a kinasirib.
14 Of course people who are not spiritual don't accept what comes from God's Spirit. It's just foolish nonsense to them, and they can't understand it, because what is spiritual has to be properly examined.
Saan nga awaten ti saan a naespirituan a tao dagiti banbanag a kukua ti Espiritu iti Dios, ta kinamaag dagitoy kenkuana. Saanna a maammoan dagitoy gapu ta mailasin dagitoy babaen iti espiritu.
15 People who are spiritual investigate everything, but are not placed under investigation themselves.
Ukomen ti naespirituan dagiti amin a banbanag, ngem saan isuna nga ukomen dagiti sabali.
16 For “who understands the Lord's mind, and would think to instruct him?” But we do have Christ's mind!
“Ta siasino ti makaammo iti panunot ti Apo, a masuroanna isuna?” Ngem adda kadatayo ti panunot ni Cristo.
