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,
When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming 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 determined not to know anything among you except Yeshua the Messiah and him crucified.
3 Meva mia gbɔ le ɖokuibɔbɔ gã aɖe me eye menɔ vɔvɔ̃m, henɔ dzodzom nyanyanya.
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
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.
My speech and my proclaiming were not in persuasive words of human 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 wouldn’t stand 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)
We speak wisdom, however, among 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)
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 God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds 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 has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t 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, “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.”
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, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged 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 has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Messiah’s mind.
