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.
Nilipokuja kwenu kaka na dada zangu, sikuja kwa maneno ya ushawishi na hekima kama nilivyohubiri kweli iliyofichika kuhusu Mungu.
2 For I esteemed not to knowe any thing among you, saue Iesus Christ, and him crucified.
Niliamua kutojua chochote nilipokuwa miongoni mwenu isipokuwa Yesu Kristo, na yeye aliyesulubiwa.
3 And I was among you in weakenesse, and in feare, and in much trembling.
Na nilikuwa nanyi katika udhaifu, na katika hofu, na katika kutetemeka sana.
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,
Na ujumbe wangu na kuhubiri kwangu hakukuwa katika maneno ya ushawishi na hekima. Badala yake, yalikuwa katika kumdhihirisha Roho na ya nguvu,
5 That your faith should not be in the wisdome of men, but in the power of God.
ili kwamba imani yenu isiwe katika hekima ya wanadadamu, bali katika nguvu ya Mungu.
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)
Sasa tunaizungumza hekima miongoni mwa watu wazima, lakini si hekima ya dunia hii, au ya watawala wa nyakati hizi, ambao wanaopita. (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)
Badala yake, tunaizungumza hekima ya Mungu katika ukweli uliofichika, hekima iliyofichika ambayo Mungu aliichagua kabla ya nyakati za utukufu wetu. (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)
Hakuna yeyote wa watawala wa nyakati hizi aliyeijua hekima hii, Kama wangeifahamu katika nyakati zile, wasingelimsulubisha Bwana wa utukufu. (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.
Lakini kama ilivyoandikwa, “Mambo mbayo hakuna jicho limeyaona, hakuna sikio lililoyasikia, mawazo hayakufikiri, mambo ambayo Mungu ameyaandaa kwa ajili ya wale wampendao yeye.”
10 But God hath reueiled them vnto vs by his Spirit: for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deepe things of God.
Haya ni mambo ambayo Mungu ameyafunua kwetu kupitia Roho, Kwa kuwa Roho huchunguza kila kitu, hata mambo ya ndani ya Mungu.
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.
Kwa kuwa nani afahamuye mawazo ya mtu, isipokuwa roho ya mtu ndani yake? Hivyo pia, hakuna ajuaye mambo ya ndani ya Mungu, isipokuwa Roho wa Mungu.
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.
Lakini hatukupokea roho ya dunia, lakini Roho ambaye anatoka kwa Mungu, ili kwamba tuweze kujua kwa uhuru mambo tuliyopewa na Mungu.
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.
Tunasema mambo haya kwa maneno, ambayo hekima ya mtu haiwezi kufundisha, lakini ambayo Roho hutufundisha. Roho hutafasiri maneno ya kiroho kwa hekima ya kiroho.
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.
Mtu asiye wa kiroho hapokei mambo ambayo ni ya Roho wa Mungu, kwa kuwa hayo ni upuuzi kwake. Hawezi kuyajua kwa sababu yanatambuliwa kiroho.
15 But hee that is spirituall, discerneth all things: yet he himselfe is iudged of no man.
Kwa yule wa kiroho huhukumu mambo yote. Lakini huhukumiwa na wengine.
16 For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord, that hee might instruct him? But we haue the minde of Christ.
“Ni nani anaweza kuyajua mawazo ya Bwana, ambaye anaweza kumfundisha yeye?” Lakini tuna mawazo ya Kristo.
