1 Corinthians 2
1 And as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to.
Ko ahau, e oku teina, i ahau i haere atu ai ki a koutou, kihai ahau i haere atu me te pai kupu, me te hua ranei o te whakaaro, i ahau i kauwhau ai ki a koutou i te mea ngaro a te Atua.
2 For I determined to be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified.
I takoto hoki toku whakaaro, kia kaua ahau e matau ki tetahi mea i roto i a koutou, ko Ihu Karaiti anake, ko ia hoki i ripekatia.
3 And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety.
A i a koutou ahau me te ngoikore, me te wehi, me te tuiri nui.
4 And my language and the Message that I proclaimed were not adorned with persuasive words of earthly wisdom, but depended upon truths which the Spirit taught and mightily carried home;
Ko taku korero me taku kauwhau ehara i te kupu whakapati na to te tangata whakaaro nui, engari he whakakitenga na te Wairua, na te kaha:
5 so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.
Kia kore ai to koutou whakapono e tu i runga i o te tangata whakaaro nui, engari i to te Atua kaha.
6 Yet when we are among mature believers we do speak words of wisdom; a wisdom not belonging, however, to the present age nor to the leaders of the present age who are soon to pass away. (aiōn g165)
He ahakoa ra e korero ana matou i te whakaaro nui ki waenganui i te hunga tino tika: ehara ano ia i te whakaaro mohio no tenei ao, no nga rangatira ranei o tenei ao, e memeha haere nei: (aiōn g165)
7 But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom--that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us; (aiōn g165)
Engari e korero ana matou i te whakaaro nui o te Atua i roto i te mea ngaro, i te whakaaro mohio i huna ra, ko ta te Atua i whakatakoto ai i mua o nga ao, hei whakakororia mo tatou: (aiōn g165)
8 a wisdom which not one of the leaders of the present age possesses, for if they had possessed it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Kihai nei tetahi o nga rangatira o tenei ao i matau; me i matau hoki ratou, kua kahore e ripekatia e ratou te Ariki o te kororia: (aiōn g165)
9 But--to use the words of Scripture--we speak of things which eye has not seen nor ear heard, and which have never entered the heart of man: all that God has in readiness for them that love Him.
Engari ka rite ki te mea i tuhituhia ra, Ko nga mea kahore te kanohi i kite, kahore te taringa i rongo, kahore ano i tapoko noa ki te ngakau o te tangata, ko nga mea kua rite i te Atua mo te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia.
10 For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature.
Otiia kua whakakitea mai aua mea ki a tatou e te Atua ma tona Wairua: e rapu ana hoki te Wairua i nga mea katoa, ae, i nga mea hohonu a te Atua.
11 For, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? In the same way, also, only God's Spirit is acquainted with God's inner thoughts.
Ko wai oti o nga tangata e matau ana ki nga mea a te tangata? ko te wairua anake o te tangata i roto i a ia: waihoki ko nga mea a te Atua e kore e matauria e tetahi, engari e te Wairua o te Atua.
12 But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may know the blessings that have been so freely given to us by God.
Otiia ko te wairua i riro mai nei i a tatou, ehara i te wairua o te ao, engari ko te Wairua e ahu mai nei i te Atua; kia matau ai tatou ki nga mea kua oti nei te homai e te Atua ki a tatou.
13 Of these we speak--not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches--adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths.
Na ka korero matou i aua mea, ehara nga kupu i te whakaaro mohio o te tangata i whakaako mai, engari he mea whakaako na te Wairua Tapu; e whakariterite ana i nga mea wairua ki nga mea wairua.
14 The unspiritual man rejects the things of the Spirit of God, and cannot attain to the knowledge of them, because they are spiritually judged.
Na e kore te tangata i te ngakau maori e tango i nga mea o te Wairua o te Atua: ki a ia he mea kuware era; a e kore ia e ahei te matau, he mea ma te Wairua ka kitea ai.
15 But the spiritual man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one.
Otiia ki te mea kei tetahi te Wairua, ka kitea e ia nga mea katoa, e kore ano ia e kitea e tetahi.
16 For who has penetrated the mind of the Lord, and will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Ko wai hoki te matau ana ki te hinengaro o te Ariki, e whakaako ai ia i a ia? Kei a tatou ia te hinengaro o te Karaiti.
