1 Akorinitho 2
1 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndookire kũrĩ inyuĩ, ngĩmũhunjĩria ũira wa hitho ya ũhoro wa Ngai, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndiamwarĩirie na mĩario ya kanua kega kana ũũgĩ mũnene.
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
2 Nĩgũkorwo nĩndatuĩte itua ndirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ ngwenda kũmenya, rĩrĩa rĩothe ndaarĩ na inyuĩ, o tiga ũhoro wa Jesũ Kristũ na kwambwo gwake mũtĩ-igũrũ.
For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 Ndookire kũrĩ inyuĩ itarĩ na hinya, na ndĩ na guoya, o na ngĩinainaga mũno.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 Ndũmĩrĩri yakwa na kũhunjia gwakwa itiarĩ na ciugo cia kũguucanĩrĩria na ũũgĩ, no nĩcionanagia hinya wa Roho,
And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
5 nĩguo wĩtĩkio wanyu ndũgakorwo ũtiirĩrĩirwo nĩ ũũgĩ wa andũ, o tiga hinya wa Ngai.
That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
6 No ningĩ ithuĩ-rĩ, tũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa agima twaragia ũhoro wa ndũmĩrĩri ya ũũgĩ, no tũtiaragia ũhoro wa ũũgĩ wa mahinda maya, kana wa aathani a mahinda maya arĩa matarĩ kũrĩa merekeire. (aiōn g165)
Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought; (aiōn g165)
7 No ithuĩ-rĩ, twaragia ũhoro wa ũũgĩ wa Ngai ũrĩa wa hitho, ũũgĩ ũrĩa watũire ũrĩ mũhithe, o ũrĩa Ngai aathĩrĩire o mbere ya kũũmba thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa riiri witũ. (aiōn g165)
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory: (aiōn g165)
8 Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa anene a mahinda maya wamenyire ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo mangĩaũmenyete-rĩ, matingĩaambire Mwathani wa riiri. (aiōn g165)
Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
9 Nĩgũkorwo no ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Maũndũ marĩa matarĩ monwo na maitho, na matarĩ maiguuo na matũ, o na matarĩ maatoonya ngoro ya mũndũ, nĩmo Ngai athondekeire andũ arĩa mamwendete”:
But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 no Ngai nĩatũguũrĩirie maũndũ macio na ũndũ wa Roho wake. Roho nĩathuthuuragia maũndũ mothe, o na maũndũ ma Ngai marĩa marikĩru mũno.
But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 Tondũ-rĩ, nũũ ũũĩ meciiria ma mũndũ, tiga o roho wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wake? O ta ũguo-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũũĩ meciiria ma Ngai, o tiga Roho wa Ngai.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
12 Tũtiamũkĩrĩte roho wa thĩ ĩno, no tũheetwo Roho ũrĩa uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai, nĩguo tũmenyage iheo iria Ngai atũheete o ũguo tũhũ.
Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
13 Maũndũ macio nĩmo twaragia, no tũtimaaragia na ciugo iria tũrutĩtwo na ũũgĩ wa mũndũ, no nĩ na ciugo iria tũrutagwo nĩ Roho, tũgataarĩria ũhoro wa ma wa kĩĩroho na ciugo cia kĩĩroho.
Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 Mũndũ ũtarĩ na Roho ndetĩkagĩra maũndũ marĩa moimaga kũrĩ Roho wa Ngai, tondũ maũndũ macio nĩ ũrimũ kũrĩ we, na ndangĩmamenya, tondũ makũũrĩkanaga na njĩra ya kĩĩroho.
But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
15 Mũndũ wa kĩĩroho nĩakũũranaga maũndũ mothe, nowe mwene gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩmũtuĩra:
But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
16 “Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmenya meciiria ma Mwathani, nĩguo akĩmũtaare?” No ithuĩ tũrĩ na meciiria ma Kristũ.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
