1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndookire kũrĩ inyuĩ, ngĩmũhunjĩria ũira wa hitho ya ũhoro wa Ngai, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndiamwarĩirie na mĩario ya kanua kega kana ũũgĩ mũnene.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩndatuĩte itua ndirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ ngwenda kũmenya, rĩrĩa rĩothe ndaarĩ na inyuĩ, o tiga ũhoro wa Jesũ Kristũ na kwambwo gwake mũtĩ-igũrũ.
3 When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.
Ndookire kũrĩ inyuĩ itarĩ na hinya, na ndĩ na guoya, o na ngĩinainaga mũno.
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Ndũmĩrĩri yakwa na kũhunjia gwakwa itiarĩ na ciugo cia kũguucanĩrĩria na ũũgĩ, no nĩcionanagia hinya wa Roho,
5 that your faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God.
nĩguo wĩtĩkio wanyu ndũgakorwo ũtiirĩrĩirwo nĩ ũũgĩ wa andũ, o tiga hinya wa Ngai.
6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature, but a wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)
No ningĩ ithuĩ-rĩ, tũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa agima twaragia ũhoro wa ndũmĩrĩri ya ũũgĩ, no tũtiaragia ũhoro wa ũũgĩ wa mahinda maya, kana wa aathani a mahinda maya arĩa matarĩ kũrĩa merekeire. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God determined in advance before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)
No ithuĩ-rĩ, twaragia ũhoro wa ũũgĩ wa Ngai ũrĩa wa hitho, ũũgĩ ũrĩa watũire ũrĩ mũhithe, o ũrĩa Ngai aathĩrĩire o mbere ya kũũmba thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa riiri witũ. (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa anene a mahinda maya wamenyire ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo mangĩaũmenyete-rĩ, matingĩaambire Mwathani wa riiri. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, No eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who love him.
Nĩgũkorwo no ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Maũndũ marĩa matarĩ monwo na maitho, na matarĩ maiguuo na matũ, o na matarĩ maatoonya ngoro ya mũndũ, nĩmo Ngai athondekeire andũ arĩa mamwendete”:
10 But to us God revealed it through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
no Ngai nĩatũguũrĩirie maũndũ macio na ũndũ wa Roho wake. Roho nĩathuthuuragia maũndũ mothe, o na maũndũ ma Ngai marĩa marikĩru mũno.
11 For what person knows the things of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Tondũ-rĩ, nũũ ũũĩ meciiria ma mũndũ, tiga o roho wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wake? O ta ũguo-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ meciiria ma Ngai, o tiga Roho wa Ngai.
12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
Tũtiamũkĩrĩte roho wa thĩ ĩno, no tũheetwo Roho ũrĩa uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai, nĩguo tũmenyage iheo iria Ngai atũheete o ũguo tũhũ.
13 And we speak of these things, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
Maũndũ macio nĩmo twaragia, no tũtimaaragia na ciugo iria tũrutĩtwo na ũũgĩ wa mũndũ, no nĩ na ciugo iria tũrutagwo nĩ Roho, tũgataarĩria ũhoro wa ma wa kĩĩroho na ciugo cia kĩĩroho.
14 Now the natural person does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Mũndũ ũtarĩ na Roho ndetĩkagĩra maũndũ marĩa moimaga kũrĩ Roho wa Ngai, tondũ maũndũ macio nĩ ũrimũ kũrĩ we, na ndangĩmamenya, tondũ makũũrĩkanaga na njĩra ya kĩĩroho.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
Mũndũ wa kĩĩroho nĩakũũranaga maũndũ mothe, nowe mwene gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩmũtuĩra:
16 For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
“Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmenya meciiria ma Mwathani, nĩguo akĩmũtaare?” No ithuĩ tũrĩ na meciiria ma Kristũ.
