1 Corinthians 2
1 AND I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
Nindakaza kulindinywe, nobakwesu, tendakaza abunnone bwamulaka kana busongo awoo nindakompolola simpe lisisidwe ataala aLeza.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Nkambo ndakasala kutaziba chintu awo nindakali andinywe kunze kwa Jesu Kkilisito, akugankaminwa kwakwe.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
Alimwi ndakali andinywe mukubula nguzu amukuyowa, amukukankama.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Alimwi mulayizyo wangu akukambawuka kwangu tekwakali amajwi akukombelezya chabusongo. Pesi, akali achitondezyo chamuuya anguzu,
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
kuchitila kuti lusyomo lwenu talubi mubusongo bwabantu, pesi munguzu zyaLeza.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (aiōn g165)
Lino twambula busongo mukati kabantu bazyikitide, pesi butali busongo bwanyika eeyi, kana bwendelezi bwalino, aboo bayobwinda. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: (aiōn g165)
Anukuti twambula abusongo bwaLeza musimpe lisisidwe, busongo busisidwe oobo Leza mbwakali wabikka kunembo lyamyaka yabulemu besu. (aiōn g165)
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Takwe naba omwe wabendelezi balino wakachimvwisisisya, nkambo anoli bakachimvwisissya, nikuli tebakamukankamina pe Mwami wabulemu. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Pesi mbuli mbukulembedwe, “Takwe lisyo lyabona, takwe kutwi kwamvwa, takwe moyo wamuntu waziyandula eezyo Leza nzyabambila aboo bamuyandula.”
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Pesi Leza wayibununa zintu eezi kulindiswe kwiindila muMuuya. Nkambo Muuya ulayandula zintu zyoonse, nikuba zintu zyaLeza zinikide.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Nkambo ngwani uzi mizeezo yamuntu ado woMuuya wamuntu nuuli anguwe? Nkokuli alimwi, takwe muntu uzi zintu zyaLeza zinikide ado wo Muuya waLeza.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Pesi tetwakatambula Muuya wanyika pesi Muuya ooyo uzwa kuli Leza.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Twambule atala azintu eezi mumajwi akatayisigwa abusongo bwamuntu pesi aMuuya, kawupandulula zintu zyaMuuya kubantu baMuuya.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Muntu utakwe Muuya tazitambuli pe zintu zyaku Muuya waLeza, nkambo nzyabufubafuba kuli nguwe. Takonzyi pe kuzimvwisisisya nkambo ziselezegwa aMuuya.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Ooyo ulimuMuuya ngukonzya kweela zintu zyoonse, psi takonzeki kweelwa azimwi.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
“Nkambo ngwani ulikonzya kuziba kuyeya kwaMwami chakuti unga ulamulayilila? Pesi ulijisi muzeezo waKkilisito.
