1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
Bwe najja gye muli abooluganda sajja gye muli na bumanyirivu mu kwogera wadde amagezi nga nangirira ekyama kya Katonda gye muli.
2 For I determined not to know anything amongst you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Kubanga nasalawo obutamanya kintu kyonna mu mmwe wabula Yesu Kristo oyo eyakomererwa.
3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
Bwe nnali nammwe nnali munafu, nga ntya era nga nkankana nnyo.
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Era okubuulira kwange n’okuyigiriza tebyali mu bigambo bya magezi ebisendasenda, naye byali mu maanyi ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu,
5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
okukkiriza kwammwe kuleme kuba kw’amagezi ga bantu wabula kwesigame ku maanyi ga Katonda.
6 We speak wisdom, however, amongst those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing. (aiōn g165)
Naye eri abo abakulu mu mwoyo, twogera eby’amagezi agatali ga mu mulembe guno, wadde ag’abafuzi ab’omu mulembe guno abaggwaawo. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, (aiōn g165)
Wabula twogera eby’amagezi ga Katonda, agatamanyiddwa era agakisibwa, Katonda bye yateekateeka edda n’edda olw’ekitiibwa kyaffe; (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
tewali n’omu ku bafuzi ab’omulembe guno abaagategeera, kubanga singa baamanya tebandikomeredde Mukama ow’ekitiibwa. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”
Naye nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Eriiso bye litalabangako, n’okutu bye kutawulirangako, n’omutima gw’omuntu kye gutalowoozangako Katonda bye yategekera abo abamwagala.”
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Naye ffe Katonda yabitubikkulira mu Mwoyo, kubanga Omwoyo anoonyereza ebintu byonna, n’eby’omunda ennyo ebya Katonda.
11 For who amongst men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.
Kubanga muntu ki ategeera eby’omuntu omulala okuggyako omwoyo w’omuntu oyo ali mu ffe? Noolwekyo n’ebintu bya Katonda tewali abimanyi okuggyako Omwoyo wa Katonda.
12 But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
Era kaakano ffe tetwafuna mwoyo wa ku nsi, wabula Omwoyo eyava eri Katonda, tulyoke tumanye ebintu Katonda bye yatuwa obuwa,
13 We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
era ne mu bigambo bye twogera so si mu kuyigirizibwa okw’amagezi g’abantu, naye mu bigambo Omwoyo by’ayigiriza, ebintu eby’Omwoyo nga bikwatagana n’eby’Omwoyo.
14 Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Omuntu obuntu tasobola kufuna bintu bya Mwoyo wa Katonda, kubanga busirusiru gy’ali, era tasobola kubimanya, kubanga bikeberwa Mwoyo.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
Naye omuntu ow’Omwoyo akebera ebintu byonna, naye tewali n’omu amukebera.
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
“Kubanga ani eyali ategedde okulowooza kwa Mukama, era ani alimulagira? Kyokka ffe tulina endowooza ya Kristo.”
