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.
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 any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Paske mwen te detèmine pou m pa konnen anyen pami nou, sof Jésus Kri, e Sila krisifye a.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
Mwen te avèk nou nan feblès, laperèz, ak anpil tranbleman.
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:
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 should 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 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)
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 the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: (aiōn g165)
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 princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
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, 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.
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 God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
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 hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
“Paske kilès ki te konnen refleksyon Senyè a, pou li ta enstwi Li?” Men se panse a Kris nou genyen.
