< Korineto I 2 >
1 E NA hoahanau, i ko'u hele ana aku io oukou la, e hai aku i ka olelo a ke Akua, aole au i hele aku me ka hoohanohano olelo, a me ka hoakamai.
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.
2 No ka mea ua paa ko'u aole e hoike i kekahi mea e ae iwaena o oukou, ia Iesu Kristo wale no, a me kona make ana ma ke kea.
For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
3 Ua noho pu no wau me oukou, me ka nawaliwali, a me ka makau, a me ka haalulu nui.
I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.
4 A o ka'u olelo, a me ka'u ao ana aku, aole ia ma ka olelo maalea a ko ke kanaka akamai, aka, ma ka olelo hoakaka a ka Uhane, a me ka mana:
My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
5 I paa ko oukou manaoio, ma ka mana o ke Akua, aole ma ke akamai o kanaka.
so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
6 He akamai no hoi ka makou e olelo nei i ka poe i oo; aole nae oia ke akamai o ko keia ao, aole hoi o na'lii o keia ao, o na mea e pau wale aua; (aiōn )
Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. (aiōn )
7 Aka, ke hai aku nei makou i ke akamai o ko Akua, i ka mea huna i ike ole ia, a ke Akua i hoopaa ai mamua o ka hookumu ana mai o ke ao nei, i mea e nani ai kakou. (aiōn )
No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began. (aiōn )
8 Aole i ike kekahi alii o keia ao ia mea; no ka mea, ina ua ike lakou, ina aole lakou i kau ma ke kea i ka Haku nona ka nani. (aiōn )
None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn )
9 Ua like hoi me ka mea i palapalaia, Aole i ike ka maka, aole i lohe ka pepeiao, aole hoi i komo iloko o ka naau o kanaka, na mea a ke Akua i hoomakaukau ai no ka poe i aloha aku ia ia.
Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 Ua hoike mai no hoi ke Akua ia mau mea ia makou, ma kona Uhane, no ka mea, ke nana pono nei ka Uhane i na mea a pau, i na mea hohonu hoi a ke Akua.
But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11 Owai ke kanaka ike i na mea o ke kanaka? o ka uhane o ke kanaka wale no, o ka mea iloko oua; pela no aole i ike ke kanaka i na mea o ke Akua, o ka Uhane o ke Akua wale no.
For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
12 Ua loaa hoi ia makou ka Uhane, na ke Akua mai, aole ka manao o ko ke ao nei; i mea e ike ai makou i na mea i haawi wale ia mai na makou e ke Akua.
We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
13 Oia hoi ka makou e hai aku nei, aole ma ka olelo a ko ke kanaka akamai i ao mai ai, aka, ma ka ka Uhane Hemolele i ao mai ai, me ka hoakaka ana i ko ka Uhane ma na mea o ka Uhane.
And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
14 Aka, o ke kanaka ma ko kino, aole e loaa ia ia na mea o ka Uhane o ke Akua; no ka mea, ua lapuwale ia mau mea ia ia, aole hoi e hiki ia ia ke hoomaopopo aku; no ka mea, ma ka Uhane wale no e ikeia'i lakou.
The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 O ka mea hoi ma ka Uhane, ua ike no ia i na mea a pau, aole hoi oia i ike maopopo ia e kekahi.
The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.
16 Owai ka mea i ike i ka manao o ka Haku? Owai hoi ka mea e ao aku ia ia? Aka, ua loaa ia makou ka manao o Kristo.
“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
