< 1 Corinthians 2 >

1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.
Nɔviwo, esi meva mia gbɔ zi gbãtɔ heɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nya na mi la, nyemewɔe kple aɖe ŋanɛ alo nunya kɔkɔ o,
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
elabena meɖoe kplikpaa be nyemagblɔ nya boo aɖeke wu esi ku ɖe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo kple eƒe ku le atitsoga ŋuti la ŋu o.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
Meva mia gbɔ le ɖokuibɔbɔ gã aɖe me eye menɔ vɔvɔ̃m, henɔ dzodzom nyanyanya.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Nyemeɖe ami ɖe nye mawunyagbɔgblɔ kura o, ke boŋ Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ŋutɔ nɔ menye hedo ŋusẽ nye nyawo, ale be ame siwo se nyawo la dze sii be Mawu gbɔe wotso, ke menye xexemenunyala aɖeke ƒe nyawo wonye o.
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Mewɔ esia be miaƒe xɔse nali ke le Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ me, ke menye le amewo ƒe nunya nu o.
6 However we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (aiōn g165)
Ke ne mele kristotɔ siwo de ŋgɔ le gbɔgbɔ me la dome la, meƒoa nu na wo kple nunya tɔxɛ. Ke hã la, nyemewɔa xexe sia me nunya ŋu dɔ o, eye nyemegblɔa nya siwo ƒomevi asɔ to me na ame ŋkuta siwo le xexea me, ame siwo le tsɔtsrɔ̃ ge abe ale si Mawu ɖoe anyi ene o. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world to our glory: (aiōn g165)
Nya siwo míegblɔna la tso Mawu ŋutɔ gbɔ, eya ta wonye nya siwo gɔmesese blibo li na, eye woɖe Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo tɔxɛ si wòwɔ be yeana míakpɔ dzidzɔ la fia. Togbɔ be wowɔ ɖoɖo sia da ɖi hena míaƒe viɖekpɔkpɔ hafi xexea me va dzɔ hã la, enɔ ɣaɣla ɖe mía tɔgbuiwo. (aiōn g165)
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Ke nublanuitɔe la, xexe sia me ƒe amegãwo mese ɖoɖoa gɔme o. Nenye ɖe wose egɔme la, anye ne womeklã Ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe Aƒetɔ la ɖe atitsoga ŋu o. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Gake abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe Mawu ƒe nya me ene be, “Nu si ame aɖeke mese kpɔ alo nu si ame, aɖeke mesusu ɖe ta me kpɔ gbeɖe o la,” eya tututue Mawu dzra ɖo ɖi na ame siwo lɔ̃a Aƒetɔ la.
10 But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, even, the deep things of God.
Gake míawo ya míenya nu le nu siawo ŋu elabena Mawu ɖo eƒe Gbɔgbɔ ɖe mí be wòaɖe nu ɣaɣla siawo afia mí eye eƒe Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la dzroa nu sia nu me tsitotsito heɖea Mawu ƒe nu ɣaɣlawo katã fiaa mí.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Amegbetɔ aɖeke mate ŋu anya nu si le nɔvia ƒe ta me alo ame si ƒomevi tututu ame bubu aɖe nye o, ke amea ŋutɔ koe anya nu si le ta me nɛ. Nenema ke ame aɖeke mate ŋu anya Mawu ƒe susuwo o, negbe Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ la ŋutɔ ko.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.
Le nyateƒe me la, míawo la míexɔ xexeme ƒe gbɔgbɔ la o. Mawu tsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe Gbɔgbɔ na mí be wòaɖe Mawu ƒe dɔmenyo ƒe nunana gã si nye eƒe yayra kple amenuveve manyagblɔ la afia mí.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Nya siwo tututu Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ la gblɔ na mí la, woawoe míetsɔ ɖe nya me na mi le nunana siawo ŋu, ke menye nya siwo dze mía ŋutɔwo ŋue megblɔ na mi o. Ale míeƒoa nu kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe ŋusẽ be míatsɔ aɖe eƒe nyawo me na mi.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Eya ta ne Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ mele ame aɖe me o la, mate ŋu ase Mawu ƒe nya siawo gɔme o, eye maxɔ wo dzi ase hã o. Nya siawo katã aɖi bometsinya le to me na ame sia tɔgbi elabena ame siwo me Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ la le la koe ate ŋu ase nya si gblɔm Gbɔgbɔ la le la gɔme.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged by no man.
Ke ame si me Gbɔgbɔ la le la sea nu sia nu me tsitotsito eye esia ɖea fu na xexea me tɔwo, ame siwo me Gbɔgbɔ la mele o, elabena woawo mate ŋu ase nu siawo gɔme o.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
“Ke ame kae nya Aƒetɔ la ƒe susu? Ame kae afia nui?” Ke míawo la, Kristo ƒe susu le mía si.
