1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellencie of woordes, or of wisedome, shewing vnto you the testimonie of God.
Ko ahau, e oku teina, i ahau i haere atu ai ki a koutou, kihai ahau i haere atu me te pai kupu, me te hua ranei o te whakaaro, i ahau i kauwhau ai ki a koutou i te mea ngaro a te Atua.
2 For I esteemed not to knowe any thing among you, saue Iesus Christ, and him crucified.
I takoto hoki toku whakaaro, kia kaua ahau e matau ki tetahi mea i roto i a koutou, ko Ihu Karaiti anake, ko ia hoki i ripekatia.
3 And I was among you in weakenesse, and in feare, and in much trembling.
A i a koutou ahau me te ngoikore, me te wehi, me te tuiri nui.
4 Neither stoode my woorde, and my preaching in the entising speach of mans wisdom, but in plaine euidence of the Spirite and of power,
Ko taku korero me taku kauwhau ehara i te kupu whakapati na to te tangata whakaaro nui, engari he whakakitenga na te Wairua, na te kaha:
5 That your faith should not be in the wisdome of men, but in the power of God.
Kia kore ai to koutou whakapono e tu i runga i o te tangata whakaaro nui, engari i to te Atua kaha.
6 And we speake wisedome among them that are perfect: not the wisedome of this world, neither of the princes of this world, which come to nought. (aiōn g165)
He ahakoa ra e korero ana matou i te whakaaro nui ki waenganui i te hunga tino tika: ehara ano ia i te whakaaro mohio no tenei ao, no nga rangatira ranei o tenei ao, e memeha haere nei: (aiōn g165)
7 But we speake the wisedome of God in a mysterie, euen the hid wisedom, which God had determined before the world, vnto our glory. (aiōn g165)
Engari e korero ana matou i te whakaaro nui o te Atua i roto i te mea ngaro, i te whakaaro mohio i huna ra, ko ta te Atua i whakatakoto ai i mua o nga ao, hei whakakororia mo tatou: (aiōn g165)
8 Which none of the princes of this world hath knowen: for had they knowen it, they would not haue crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Kihai nei tetahi o nga rangatira o tenei ao i matau; me i matau hoki ratou, kua kahore e ripekatia e ratou te Ariki o te kororia: (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, The thinges which eye hath not seene, neither eare hath heard, neither came into mans heart, are, which God hath prepared for them that loue him.
Engari ka rite ki te mea i tuhituhia ra, Ko nga mea kahore te kanohi i kite, kahore te taringa i rongo, kahore ano i tapoko noa ki te ngakau o te tangata, ko nga mea kua rite i te Atua mo te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia.
10 But God hath reueiled them vnto vs by his Spirit: for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deepe things of God.
Otiia kua whakakitea mai aua mea ki a tatou e te Atua ma tona Wairua: e rapu ana hoki te Wairua i nga mea katoa, ae, i nga mea hohonu a te Atua.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, saue the spirite of a man, which is in him? euen so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God.
Ko wai oti o nga tangata e matau ana ki nga mea a te tangata? ko te wairua anake o te tangata i roto i a ia: waihoki ko nga mea a te Atua e kore e matauria e tetahi, engari e te Wairua o te Atua.
12 Nowe we haue receiued not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit, which is of God, that we might knowe the thinges that are giuen to vs of God.
Otiia ko te wairua i riro mai nei i a tatou, ehara i te wairua o te ao, engari ko te Wairua e ahu mai nei i te Atua; kia matau ai tatou ki nga mea kua oti nei te homai e te Atua ki a tatou.
13 Which things also we speake, not in the woordes which mans wisedome teacheth, but which the holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spirituall things with spirituall things.
Na ka korero matou i aua mea, ehara nga kupu i te whakaaro mohio o te tangata i whakaako mai, engari he mea whakaako na te Wairua Tapu; e whakariterite ana i nga mea wairua ki nga mea wairua.
14 But the naturall man perceiueth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishnesse vnto him: neither can hee knowe them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Na e kore te tangata i te ngakau maori e tango i nga mea o te Wairua o te Atua: ki a ia he mea kuware era; a e kore ia e ahei te matau, he mea ma te Wairua ka kitea ai.
15 But hee that is spirituall, discerneth all things: yet he himselfe is iudged of no man.
Otiia ki te mea kei tetahi te Wairua, ka kitea e ia nga mea katoa, e kore ano ia e kitea e tetahi.
16 For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord, that hee might instruct him? But we haue the minde of Christ.
Ko wai hoki te matau ana ki te hinengaro o te Ariki, e whakaako ai ia i a ia? Kei a tatou ia te hinengaro o te Karaiti.
