< 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.
Bwe najja gye muli abooluganda sajja gye muli na bumanyirivu mu kwogera wadde amagezi nga nangirira ekyama kya Katonda gye muli.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Kubanga nasalawo obutamanya kintu kyonna mu mmwe wabula Yesu Kristo oyo eyakomererwa.
3 When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.
Bwe nnali nammwe nnali munafu, nga ntya era nga nkankana nnyo.
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Era okubuulira kwange n’okuyigiriza tebyali mu bigambo bya magezi ebisendasenda, naye byali mu maanyi ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu,
5 that your faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God.
okukkiriza kwammwe kuleme kuba kw’amagezi ga bantu wabula kwesigame ku maanyi ga Katonda.
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)
Naye eri abo abakulu mu mwoyo, twogera eby’amagezi agatali ga mu mulembe guno, wadde ag’abafuzi ab’omu mulembe guno abaggwaawo. (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)
Wabula twogera eby’amagezi ga Katonda, agatamanyiddwa era agakisibwa, Katonda bye yateekateeka edda n’edda olw’ekitiibwa kyaffe; (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)
tewali n’omu ku bafuzi ab’omulembe guno abaagategeera, kubanga singa baamanya tebandikomeredde Mukama ow’ekitiibwa. (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.
Naye nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Eriiso bye litalabangako, n’okutu bye kutawulirangako, n’omutima gw’omuntu kye gutalowoozangako Katonda bye yategekera abo abamwagala.”
10 But to us God revealed it through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Naye ffe Katonda yabitubikkulira mu Mwoyo, kubanga Omwoyo anoonyereza ebintu byonna, n’eby’omunda ennyo ebya Katonda.
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.
Kubanga muntu ki ategeera eby’omuntu omulala okuggyako omwoyo w’omuntu oyo ali mu ffe? Noolwekyo n’ebintu bya Katonda tewali abimanyi okuggyako Omwoyo wa Katonda.
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.
Era kaakano ffe tetwafuna mwoyo wa ku nsi, wabula Omwoyo eyava eri Katonda, tulyoke tumanye ebintu Katonda bye yatuwa obuwa,
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.
era ne mu bigambo bye twogera so si mu kuyigirizibwa okw’amagezi g’abantu, naye mu bigambo Omwoyo by’ayigiriza, ebintu eby’Omwoyo nga bikwatagana n’eby’Omwoyo.
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.
Omuntu obuntu tasobola kufuna bintu bya Mwoyo wa Katonda, kubanga busirusiru gy’ali, era tasobola kubimanya, kubanga bikeberwa Mwoyo.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
Naye omuntu ow’Omwoyo akebera ebintu byonna, naye tewali n’omu amukebera.
16 For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
“Kubanga ani eyali ategedde okulowooza kwa Mukama, era ani alimulagira? Kyokka ffe tulina endowooza ya Kristo.”
