1 Corinthians 2
1 My fellow believers, when I came to you, I proclaimed to you the message that God had revealed to me. But I did not proclaim it using eloquent words that would make people think highly of me, nor did I argue in a way that unbelievers would think was very wise.
Lwanahenzele humwenyu kolo nu yilombo bhane, saganahenzele namazu giushawishi ni njele hansi ahusu Ungolobhe.
2 I did that because I decided that I would speak only about Jesus Christ. Specifically, I told you [what he accomplished for us when] he was killed by being nailed {[when they] killed him by nailing him} to a cross.
Nahamuye asagamanye shoshonti lwanahelo namwe ila wha Yesu uKristi, numwene wateseshe.
3 Furthermore, when I was with you, I felt that I was not adequate [to do what Christ wanted me to do]. I was afraid [that I would not be able to do it], and because of that I was trembling very much.
Nalinamwe whuu dhowofu, huwogo na katika ayinje hani.
4 When I taught you and preached to you, I did not speak words that [unbelievers would consider] [IRO] wise in order to convince them that my message was true. Instead, [God’s] Spirit showed that it was true by [enabling me to] powerfully [perform miracles].
Niizu lyane lyalombelele huline sagawhaleho whumazu giushawishi ni njele. Badala yakwe, gali katika hufunule uPepo ne ngovo,
5 [I taught and preached that way] in order that you might believe [my message], not because you heard words that people [considered to be] [IRO] wise, but [because you recognized] God’s power.
aje olweteho lwenyu lusabhe katika injele yabhanadamu, ila katika engovo ya Ngolobhe.
6 I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
Eshi tihuyiyanga injele mumiongoni mwa bhantu abhagosi, lakini saga hunjele yense ene au yabhatabhala bhinyakati ezi, ambawo bhashila. (aiōn g165)
7 Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
Badala yakwe, tihuyiyanga injele ya Ngolobhe katika ilyoli lilifisishe, injele yifisishe ambayo Ungolobhe ayisaluye kabla yinyakati ziutuntumu wetu. (aiōn g165)
8 None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
Nomo wowonti wa bhatabhala bhinyakati ezi wayemenye injele ene, nkabhayimenye katika inyakati zila, andisaga bhanyenvega uGosi wituntumu. (aiōn g165)
9 But [we believers need to remember these words that a prophet] wrote [in the Scriptures]: Things that no one has ever seen, things that no one ever heard, things that no one ever thought could happen, those are the things that God has prepared for those who love him.
Ishi hansi shayasimbwilwe, amambo ambayo nalimo iliso lililolile, nalimo ikuta lyalyahevwezye ensewo sagazyasebhele, amambo ambayo Ongolobhe aga andayile kwa ajili yabhala bhagene umwene.”
10 God has caused his Spirit to reveal those things to us [(inc)] believers. His Spirit can do that because he knows thoroughly the meaning of all things. He even knows the things about God that are very difficult to understand.
Ege mambo gagali Ongolobhe agakwinkuye humwetu ashilile uMpepo, afatanaje uMpepo achunguzya shila hantu hata amambo gamuhati yakwe.
11 Only a person himself (OR, a person’s spirit) knows what he is thinking. Similarly, only God’s Spirit knows what God is thinking.
Afwatanaje wenu amenye ensewo zyamntu, isipokuwa roho ya mtu ndani yake? Hivyo pia, hakuna mambo ya ndani ya Mungu, ila Mpepo wa Ngolobhe.
12 It was not the ideas that unbelievers teach that we accepted. Instead, it was the Spirit who came from God that we received, in order that we might know the things that God has freely done for us.
Eshi sagataposheleye umoyo gwense, eshi uMpepo wafuma wha Ngolobhe, ili aje tiwezye amanye whiwaushe amambo gatapewilwe no Ngolobhe.
13 Those are the things that I tell you about. As I do that, I do not tell you things that someone [whom others thought] was [IRO] wise taught me. Instead, I tell you truths that [God’s] Spirit taught [me], and I explain those spiritual truths to people whose thinking is guided by God’s Spirit (OR, I teach spiritual [truths to] spiritual [people]).
Tiyanje amambo ega whimazu gagali njele, whamuntu sagawezya amanyizye, ila uMpepo awhutimanyizya. Umpepo ahugabadilinsa amazu gahumoyo hunjele yi shimoyo.
14 Those who are unbelievers reject the truths that [God’s] Spirit teaches us [(inc)], because they [consider those truths to be] foolish. They cannot understand them, because it is God’s Spirit who enables us to evaluate those truths correctly, [and those people do not have God’s Spirit].
Umuntu wasaga wishimoyo sagaposhela amambo gagali ga Mpepo wa Ngolobhe, afwatanaje ego giwalangani hukwakwe sagawezya hugamanye afwatanaje gamanyiha shimoyo.
15 We who have God’s Spirit can judge correctly the [value of] all truths [that the Spirit reveals], but [unbelievers] cannot evaluate us correctly.
Hola wishimoyo alonje amambo gonti. Ila alongwa na bhanje.
16 As [one of our prophets wrote: ] No human [RHQ] has known what the Lord is thinking. No human [RHQ] is able to instruct him. But we believers are able to think about things [MTY] in the way that Christ thinks about them.
“Yunanu awezya amanye ensewo zya Gosi, wawezya humanyizye?” Ila tilinensewo zya Kristi.
