1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, having come to you, brothers, came—not in superiority of discourse or wisdom—declaring to you the testimony of God,
Nindakaza kulindinywe, nobakwesu, tendakaza abunnone bwamulaka kana busongo awoo nindakompolola simpe lisisidwe ataala aLeza.
2 for I decided not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified;
Nkambo ndakasala kutaziba chintu awo nindakali andinywe kunze kwa Jesu Kkilisito, akugankaminwa kwakwe.
3 and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;
Alimwi ndakali andinywe mukubula nguzu amukuyowa, amukukankama.
4 and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of 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 may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
kuchitila kuti lusyomo lwenu talubi mubusongo bwabantu, pesi munguzu zyaLeza.
6 And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age—of those becoming useless, (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 hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory, (aiōn g165)
Anukuti twambula abusongo bwaLeza musimpe lisisidwe, busongo busisidwe oobo Leza mbwakali wabikka kunembo lyamyaka yabulemu besu. (aiōn g165)
8 which no one of the rulers of this age knew, for if they had known, 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 according as it has been written: “What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and on the heart of man did not come up, what God prepared for those loving Him”;
Pesi mbuli mbukulembedwe, “Takwe lisyo lyabona, takwe kutwi kwamvwa, takwe moyo wamuntu waziyandula eezyo Leza nzyabambila aboo bamuyandula.”
10 but God revealed [them] to us through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God,
Pesi Leza wayibununa zintu eezi kulindiswe kwiindila muMuuya. Nkambo Muuya ulayandula zintu zyoonse, nikuba zintu zyaLeza zinikide.
11 for who of men has known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? So also the things of God no one has known, except 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 And we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,
Pesi tetwakatambula Muuya wanyika pesi Muuya ooyo uzwa kuli Leza.
13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things,
Twambule atala azintu eezi mumajwi akatayisigwa abusongo bwamuntu pesi aMuuya, kawupandulula zintu zyaMuuya kubantu baMuuya.
14 and the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know [them], because they are discerned spiritually;
Muntu utakwe Muuya tazitambuli pe zintu zyaku Muuya waLeza, nkambo nzyabufubafuba kuli nguwe. Takonzyi pe kuzimvwisisisya nkambo ziselezegwa aMuuya.
15 and he who is spiritual, indeed discerns all things, and he himself is discerned by no one;
Ooyo ulimuMuuya ngukonzya kweela zintu zyoonse, psi takonzeki kweelwa azimwi.
16 for who knew the mind of the LORD that he will instruct Him? And we have the mind of Christ.
“Nkambo ngwani ulikonzya kuziba kuyeya kwaMwami chakuti unga ulamulayilila? Pesi ulijisi muzeezo waKkilisito.
