Korintotɔwo 1 2
1 Nɔviwo, esi meva mia gbɔ zi gbãtɔ heɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nya na mi la, nyemewɔe kple aɖe ŋanɛ alo nunya kɔkɔ o,
AND I, when I came to you, brethren, came not with superior excellence of discourse or wisdom, preaching unto you the gospel of God.
2 elabena meɖoe kplikpaa be nyemagblɔ nya boo aɖeke wu esi ku ɖe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo kple eƒe ku le atitsoga ŋuti la ŋu o.
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.
3 Meva mia gbɔ le ɖokuibɔbɔ gã aɖe me eye menɔ vɔvɔ̃m, henɔ dzodzom nyanyanya.
And in weakness, and in fear, and in much timidity, was I among you.
4 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.
And my conversation and my preaching was not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with demonstration of the Spirit, and of power:
5 Mewɔ esia be miaƒe xɔse nali ke le Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ me, ke menye le amewo ƒe nunya nu o.
that your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
6 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)
But we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are destroying themselves: (aiōn g165)
7 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)
but we speak the wisdom of God, which had been hid in mystery, which God predestined before the worlds were, for our glory: (aiōn g165)
8 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)
which none of the rulers of this world have known: for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
9 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.
But, as it is written, “The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and that have not entered into the heart of man, these hath God prepared for those who love him.”
10 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.
But to us hath God revealed them by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth out all things, even the depths of God.
11 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.
For who among men knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? so also the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 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.
Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 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.
Which things also we speak, not in discourses framed by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit of God; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 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.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are folly to him: and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 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.
But the spiritual man discerneth indeed all things, though himself is discernible by no man.
16 “Ke ame kae nya Aƒetɔ la ƒe susu? Ame kae afia nui?” Ke míawo la, Kristo ƒe susu le mía si.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? who will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
