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.
Brothers and sisters, when I came to you I didn't try to impress you with wonderful words or great wisdom when I told you what God had to say to you.
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.
I decided that while I was with you I didn't want to concentrate on anything except Jesus Christ, and that he was 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, fearful and 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:
I didn't speak to you with persuasive words of wisdom to convince you. I just explained it all to you through the evidence and power of the Spirit.
5 I paa ko oukou manaoio, ma ka mana o ke Akua, aole ma ke akamai o kanaka.
That way your trust in God wouldn't rely on human wisdom but on the power of God.
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 g165)
However, we do use words of wisdom when we speak to those who are spiritually mature, but this isn't wisdom that comes from this world, or from the rulers of this world who soon fade from the scene. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
On the contrary we explain God's wisdom in terms of a revealed mystery that was previously hidden which God planned for our glory before the creation of the worlds. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
None of the rulers of this world understood anything about this—for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
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.
But as Scripture says, “No one has ever seen, and no one has ever heard, and no one has ever 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 this to us through the Spirit, because the Spirit delves into the depths 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.
Who knows anyone's thoughts except the actual person? In the same way no one knows God's thoughts 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.
For we have received the Spirit from God, not the spirit of this world, so that we could understand what God so generously gave 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.
That's what we speak about—not using words taught by human wisdom, but what the Spirit teaches. We explain what is spiritual using spiritual terms.
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.
Of course people who are not spiritual don't accept what comes from God's Spirit. It's just foolish nonsense to them, and they can't understand it, because what is spiritual has to be properly examined.
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.
People who are spiritual investigate everything, but are not placed under investigation themselves.
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 understands the Lord's mind, and would think to instruct him?” But we do have Christ's mind!
