1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence of speech or wisdom as I proclaimed hidden truths about 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 decided to know nothing when I was 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 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
Ndookire kũrĩ inyuĩ itarĩ na hinya, na ndĩ na guoya, o na ngĩinainaga mũno.
4 And my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom. Instead, they were with the 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 might not be in the wisdom of humans, but in the power of God.
nĩguo wĩtĩkio wanyu ndũgakorwo ũtiirĩrĩirwo nĩ ũũgĩ wa andũ, o tiga hinya wa Ngai.
6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this world, 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 Instead, we speak God's wisdom in hidden truth, the hidden wisdom that God predestined 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 None of the rulers of this age understood it, 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, “Things that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined, the things that 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 These are the things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, 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 who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of the person in him? So also, no one knows the deep 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 did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might know the things 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 We speak about these things in words that man's wisdom cannot teach, but which the Spirit teaches us. The Spirit interprets spiritual words with spiritual wisdom.
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 unspiritual person does not receive the things that belong to the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. He cannot know 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 The one who is spiritual judges all things, but he is not subject to the judgment of others.
Mũndũ wa kĩĩroho nĩakũũranaga maũndũ mothe, nowe mwene gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩmũtuĩra:
16 “For who can know the mind of the Lord, that he can 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.
