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, having come to you, brothers, came—not in superiority of discourse or wisdom—declaring to you the testimony 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 decided not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified;

3 Meva mia gbɔ le ɖokuibɔbɔ gã aɖe me eye menɔ vɔvɔ̃m, henɔ dzodzom nyanyanya.

and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with 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 word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in 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 may not be in the wisdom of men, but in 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)

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 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 hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to 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 no one of the rulers of this age knew, for if they had known, 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 according as it has been written: “What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and on the heart of man did not come up, what God prepared for those loving 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 God revealed [them] to us through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches 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 of men has known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? So also the things of God no one has known, except 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.

And we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

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 we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things,

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.

and the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know [them], because they are discerned spiritually;

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.

and he who is spiritual, indeed discerns all things, and he himself is discerned by no one;

16 “Ke ame kae nya Aƒetɔ la ƒe susu? Ame kae afia nui?” Ke míawo la, Kristo ƒe susu le mía si.

for who knew the mind of the LORD that he will instruct Him? And we have the mind of Christ.
