< 1 Corinthians 2 >
1 And I, having come unto you, brethren, came — not in superiority of discourse or wisdom — declaring to you the testimony of God,
Anuanom, bere a mebaa mo nkyɛn bɛkaa Onyankopɔn ho ahintasɛm a ɛyɛ nokware kyerɛɛ mo no, manka asɛm a ɛkyere adwene anaa nyansa a ɛtra mo so.
2 for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;
Meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ bere a me ne mo wɔ hɔ no, mɛma me werɛ afi biribiara gye Yesu Kristo nko; na ne titiriw no, ne wu wɔ asennua no so no.
3 and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;
Enti bere a mebaa mo hɔ no, na meyɛ mmerɛw a ehu ne ahopopo aka me.
4 and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power —
Na nkyerɛkyerɛ a mekyerɛkyerɛɛ no nso mannyina anyansasɛm ne nnipa adwene so, na mmom menam kasa pa so daa tumi a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom Kronkron no mu no adi.
5 that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Enti mo gyidi nnyina onipa nyansa so, na mmom egyina Onyankopɔn tumi so.
6 And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age — of those becoming useless, (aiōn )
Mekasa nyansa mu kyerɛ wɔn a wɔanyinyin wɔ Honhom mu. Nanso saa nyansa no nyɛ wiase nyansa anaa wiase yi mu tumi ahorow a wɔn tumi resa no. (aiōn )
7 but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory, (aiōn )
Nyansasɛm a meka no yɛ Onyankopɔn nyansa a wɔde ahintaw nnipa. Ɛno na Onyankopɔn ayi ato hɔ ama yɛn dedaw sɛ yɛn anuonyam ahyɛde ansa na wɔrebɔ wiase. (aiōn )
8 which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified; (aiōn )
Aman sodifo biara nnim saa nyansa no. Sɛ wonim a anka wɔremmɔ Awurade a anuonyam ahyɛ no ma no asennua mu. (aiōn )
9 but, according as it hath been written, 'What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him — '
Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Nea onipa biara anhu na wante da, nea onipa biara annwene ho sɛ ɛbɛba da no, ɛno na Onyankopɔn no ara asiesie ama wɔn a wɔdɔ no no.”
10 but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,
Na yɛn na Onyankopɔn nam ne Honhom Kronkron no so ada nʼahintasɛm yi adi akyerɛ yɛn. Honhom no pɛɛpɛɛ biribiara mu kosi Onyankopɔn ahintasɛm a emu dɔ no so.
11 for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.
Onipa de, ɔno ara ne honhom a ɛte ne mu no na enim ne ho nsɛm nyinaa; saa ara nso na Onyankopɔn Honhom no nko ara na enim Onyankopɔn ho nsɛm nyinaa.
12 And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,
Ɛnyɛ wiase yi mu honhom na yɛanya; Honhom Kronkron a Onyankopɔn somaa no no na yɛanya sɛnea ɛbɛma yɛahu nea Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn no nyinaa.
13 which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,
Enti ɛnyɛ nsɛm a nnipa de wɔn nyansa akyerɛ yɛn no na yɛka, na mmom nsɛm a Honhom no akyerɛ yɛn no na yɛnam Honhom no mu nokware reda saa honhom mu nsɛm yi adi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ Honhom no.
14 and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know [them], because spiritually they are discerned;
Nanso obi a onni Honhom no rentumi nnya akyɛde a efi Onyankopɔn Honhom no mu. Ɔrente ase da biara da; ɔfa no sɛ nsɛm a aba nni mu, efisɛ wogyina Honhom no nko so na wobetumi anya ntease a ɛsɛ.
15 and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;
Onipa a Honhom no te ne mu no tumi sese biribiara nanso obiara rentumi mmu no atɛn.
16 for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we — we have the mind of Christ.
Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Hena na onim Awurade adwene? Hena na obetumi atu no fo?” Nanso yɛn de, yɛwɔ Kristo adwene no bi.
