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.
Yenisile kulyumue un'kulu nava lumbu vango, nanilisile namasio agha kuvavula nuvwakyang'haani heene nilyaghadalikile uvwa lweli vuno vufisime vwimila u Nguluve.
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.
Nilyalamwile nambe kukagula kyekyoni yenilimulyumue nambe u Yesu Kilisite, numwene juno alyakomelilue
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.
Nilyale numue muvotevote, kange nuludwesi, na kuhilila kyongo.
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].
Nimola jango nakudalikila kulyu nakukale namasio agha vulevule nuvwakyang'haani. Pauluo, ghalyale ghikuvonesia mu Mhepo ni ngufu,
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.
ulwakuuti ulwitiko lwinu nalungavisaghe muvwakyang'haani uvwa vaanhu, looli mungufu sa Nguluve.
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)
Lino tujova uvwakyang'haani vwa vaanhu avagoyo, looli navwevwa kyang'haani vwa iisi iji, nambe avatemi avansiki ughu, vanovikila. (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)
Pa uluo tujova uvwakyang'haani vwa Nguluve ughwa lweli vuno vufisime, uvwakyang'haani vuno vufisime u Nguluve alyasalwile yeghukyale unsinkibghwa vwimike vwitu. (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)
Nakwale ghweeni juno itema unsiki ughu juno akagwile uvwa kyang'haani uvu, heene vasamanyila mu nsiki ghula, nde navalyan'komelile u Mutwa ughwa vwimike. (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.
Looli ndavule lilembilue, “Amasio agha nakwelile ilisio lino lighaghile, nakwejili imbughulutu jino jipulike, amasaghe naghakasaghile, amasio ghano u Nguluve aling'anisie vwimila vwa vala vano vamughanile 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.
Agha gheghanu u Nguluve ghano avonesisie kulyusue kukilila u Mhepo, ulwakuva u Mhepo ilola kila kiinu, nambe masio ghano ghali mun'kate mwa Nguluve.
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.
Ulwakuva ghwe veeni juno ikughamanya amasaghe gha muunhu, looli inumbula ja muunhu mun'kate mwa mwene? pauluo kange, nakwale junoakagwile amasio agha mun'kate agha Nguluve, looli u Mhepo ghwa Nguluve.
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.
Looli natukupile iMhepo ja iisi, looli i Mhepo jino jihuma kwa Nguluve, ulwakuuti jinoghile kukagula uvwimike vwa masio ghano tupelilue nu Nguluve.
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]).
Tujova aghanamasio, ghano uvwakyang'hani vwa muunhu navunoghile kuvulania, looli ghano u Mhepo ikutuvulanisia. U mhepo ighanula amasio gha Mhepo ugha kyang'haani ghwa kimhepo.
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].
Umuunhu juno naghwa Mhepo nakwupile amasio ghano gha Mhepo ghwa Nguluve, ulwakuva aghuo lwe lunanging'ano lwa mweene.
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.
Nanoghile kukagula ulwakuva ghikukagula nu Mhepo. Kwajula ughwa Mhepo ihigha amasio ghooni. Looli ihighua navange.
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.
“Ghwe veeni anoghile kukagula amasio gha Mutwa, juno anoghile kukum'bulanisia umwene?” Looli tulinamasaghe gha Kilisite.
