1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom.
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 resolved to know nothing 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 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.
Ndookire kũrĩ inyuĩ itarĩ na hinya, na ndĩ na guoya, o na ngĩinainaga mũno.
4 And my word and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with a 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 so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
nĩguo wĩtĩkio wanyu ndũgakorwo ũtiirĩrĩirwo nĩ ũũgĩ wa andũ, o tiga hinya wa Ngai.
6 Now we speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing. (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 On the contrary, we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery, which God foreordained for our glory before time began. (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 None of the rulers of this age understood this wisdom, for if they had understood 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, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined what 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 Now God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths 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 who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts 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 Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might understand what God has freely given us.
Tũtiamũkĩrĩte roho wa thĩ ĩno, no tũheetwo Roho ũrĩa uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai, nĩguo tũmenyage iheo iria Ngai atũheete o ũguo tũhũ.
13 We speak about this, not with words taught by human wisdom but with words taught by the Holy Spirit, interpreting spiritual things to spiritual people.
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 The natural man does not accept what comes from the Spirit of God, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it because it is 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 makes judgments about all things, and yet he himself is not subject to any man's judgment.
Mũndũ wa kĩĩroho nĩakũũranaga maũndũ mothe, nowe mwene gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩmũtuĩra:
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to advise 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.
