1 Korintiyawa 2
1 Da na zo wurinku’yan’uwa, ban zo da iya magana ko wani mafificin hikima yayinda na yi muku shelar shaida game da Allah ba.
My fellow believers, when I came to you, I proclaimed to you the message that God had revealed to me. But I did not proclaim it using eloquent words that would make people think highly of me, nor did I argue in a way that unbelievers would think was very wise.
2 Don na ƙudura a raina sa’ad da nake tare da ku cewa ba zan mai da hankali ga kome ba sai dai Yesu Kiristi wanda aka gicciye.
I did that because I decided that I would speak only about Jesus Christ. Specifically, I told you [what he accomplished for us when] he was killed by being nailed {[when they] killed him by nailing him} to a cross.
3 Na zo wurinku cikin rashin ƙarfi da tsoro, da rawan jiki ƙwarai.
Furthermore, when I was with you, I felt that I was not adequate [to do what Christ wanted me to do]. I was afraid [that I would not be able to do it], and because of that I was trembling very much.
4 Saƙona da wa’azina ba su zo cikin hikima da kalmomin lallashi ba, sai dai da nuna ikon Ruhu,
When I taught you and preached to you, I did not speak words that [unbelievers would consider] [IRO] wise in order to convince them that my message was true. Instead, [God’s] Spirit showed that it was true by [enabling me to] powerfully [perform miracles].
5 domin kada bangaskiyarku ta dogara a kan hikimar mutane, sai dai a kan ikon Allah.
[I taught and preached that way] in order that you might believe [my message], not because you heard words that people [considered to be] [IRO] wise, but [because you recognized] God’s power.
6 Duk da haka, muna sanar da saƙon hikima cikin waɗanda suka balaga, amma ba hikima irin ta wannan zamani ba ne, ko kuwa irin ta masu mulkin zamanin nan, waɗanda za su shuɗe ba. (aiōn g165)
I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
7 A’a, muna magana ne a kan asirin hikimar Allah, hikimar da tun dā, take a ɓoye, wadda Allah ya ƙaddara domin ɗaukakarmu, tun kafin farkon zamanai. (aiōn g165)
Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
8 Ba ko ɗaya daga cikin masu mulkin wannan zamani da ya fahimce ta, gama da a ce sun fahimce ta, da ba su gicciye Ubangiji mai ɗaukaka ba. (aiōn g165)
None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
9 Duk da haka, kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Ba idon da ya taɓa gani, ba kunnen da ya taɓa ji, ba kuma zuciyar da ta taɓa tunanin abin da Allah ya shirya wa masu ƙaunarsa.”
But [we believers need to remember these words that a prophet] wrote [in the Scriptures]: Things that no one has ever seen, things that no one ever heard, things that no one ever thought could happen, those are the things that God has prepared for those who love him.
10 Amma Allah ya bayyana mana shi ta wurin Ruhunsa. Ruhu yana bincika dukan abubuwa, har ma da abubuwa masu zurfi na Allah.
God has caused his Spirit to reveal those things to us [(inc)] believers. His Spirit can do that because he knows thoroughly the meaning of all things. He even knows the things about God that are very difficult to understand.
11 Wane ne a cikin mutane ya san tunanin mutum, in ba ruhun mutumin da yake cikinsa ba? Haka kuma ba wanda ya san tunanin Allah, sai dai Ruhun Allah.
Only a person himself (OR, a person’s spirit) knows what he is thinking. Similarly, only God’s Spirit knows what God is thinking.
12 Ba mu karɓi ruhun duniya ba, sai dai Ruhun da yake daga Allah, domin mu fahimci abin da Allah ya ba mu hannu sake.
It was not the ideas that unbelievers teach that we accepted. Instead, it was the Spirit who came from God that we received, in order that we might know the things that God has freely done for us.
13 Wannan shi ne abin da muke sanarwa, ba da kalmomin da muka koya ta wurin hikimar mutum ba, amma da kalmomin da Ruhu yake koyarwa, muna faɗin gaskiya ta ruhaniya da kalmomin ruhaniya.
Those are the things that I tell you about. As I do that, I do not tell you things that someone [whom others thought] was [IRO] wise taught me. Instead, I tell you truths that [God’s] Spirit taught [me], and I explain those spiritual truths to people whose thinking is guided by God’s Spirit (OR, I teach spiritual [truths to] spiritual [people]).
14 Mutumin da ba shi da Ruhu, ba ya yarda da abubuwan da suka fita daga Ruhun Allah, domin wauta ce a gare shi. Ba kuwa zai fahimce su ba, domin ta Ruhu ne ake fahimtarsu.
Those who are unbelievers reject the truths that [God’s] Spirit teaches us [(inc)], because they [consider those truths to be] foolish. They cannot understand them, because it is God’s Spirit who enables us to evaluate those truths correctly, [and those people do not have God’s Spirit].
15 Mutumin ruhaniya yakan gwada dukan abubuwa, amma shi kansa ba ya ƙarƙashin shari’ar mutum.
We who have God’s Spirit can judge correctly the [value of] all truths [that the Spirit reveals], but [unbelievers] cannot evaluate us correctly.
16 “Wa ya taɓa sanin hankalin Ubangiji, har da zai koya masa?” Amma muna da tunani iri na Kiristi ne.
As [one of our prophets wrote: ] No human [RHQ] has known what the Lord is thinking. No human [RHQ] is able to instruct him. But we believers are able to think about things [MTY] in the way that Christ thinks about them.
