1 Ndị Kọrint 2

1 Ụmụnna m, mgbe m bịakwutere unu na mbụ, ejighị m mmụta m na oke okwu megharịa unu anya banyere ihe omimi niile nke okwu Chineke.

And so, brothers, when I came to you, announcing to you the testimony of Christ, I did not bring exalted words or lofty wisdom.

2 Nʼihi na ekpebiri m na naanị ihe m ga-ama nʼetiti unu bụ naanị ihe banyere Jisọs Kraịst na mkpọgbu a kpọgburu ya nʼelu obe.

For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 Abịakwutere m unu nʼọnọdụ adịghị ike, oke ụjọ na ahụ ịma jijiji.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with much trembling.

4 Okwu m na ihe m kwusara abịakwaghị dịka okwu ire ụtọ na nke oke mmụta, ime ka ndị mmadụ kwere, kama ha bịara nʼụzọ igosi ọrụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na ike ya.

And my words and preaching were not the persuasive words of human wisdom, but were a manifestation of the Spirit and of virtue,

5 Ka okwukwe unu ghara ịdabere nʼamamihe mmadụ, kama ka ọ dabere nʼike Chineke.

so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the virtue of God.

6 Ma otu ọ dị, anyị na-ekwu okwu amamihe nʼebe ndị tozuru oke nọ. Ma ọ bụghị amamihe nke oge a, maọbụ nke ndị na-achị ụwa taa, bụ ndị na-aghaghị ịla nʼiyi. (aiōn g165)

Now, we do speak wisdom among the perfect, yet truly, this is not the wisdom of this age, nor that of the leaders of this age, which shall be reduced to nothing. (aiōn g165)

7 Kama anyị na-ekwu okwu amamihe nke Chineke nʼụzọ dị omimi, bụ amamihe Chineke zonarịrị ụmụ mmadụ site na mbụ, nke Chineke kara aka tupu e kee ụwa na a ga-ekpughe ya nʼoge a maka iwetara anyị otuto. (aiōn g165)

Instead, we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery which has been hidden, which God predestined before this age for our glory, (aiōn g165)

8 O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ọchịchị nke ọgbọ a ghọtara ihe banyere nzube a. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ha maara ya, ha agaraghị akpọgbu Onyenwe otuto ahụ nʼobe. (aiōn g165)

something that none of the leaders of this world have known. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 Ma dịka e dere ya, “Ihe ahụ anya mmadụ na-ahụbeghị, ihe ahụ ntị mmadụ na-anụbeghị, ihe ahụ mmadụ na-echebeghị nʼobi ya, bụ ihe Chineke kwadoro, debere ndị niile hụrụ ya nʼanya.”

But this is just as it has been written: “The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, what things God has prepared for those who love him.”

10 Ma Chineke e kpugherela anyị ihe omimi ndị a site na Mmụọ Nsọ ya. Mmụọ Nsọ bụ onye na-enyochapụta ihe omimi na ihe nzuzo niile dị Chineke nʼobi.

But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

11 Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla pụrụ ịma ihe onye ọzọ na-eche nʼobi ya. Ọ bụ naanị mmụọ nọ nʼime onye ahụ bụ onye mara ihe niile banyere ya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye pụrụ ịmata ihe Chineke na-eche nʼobi ya, ma ọ bụghị naanị Mmụọ nke Chineke.

And who can know the things that are of a man, except the spirit which is within that man? So also, no one knows the things which are of God, except the Spirit of God.

12 Ma mmụọ nke anyị natara abụghị mmụọ nke ụwa, kama ọ bụ Mmụọ nke sitere na Chineke, ka anyị nwee ike ịghọta onyinye amara niile Chineke nyere anyị.

But we have not received the spirit of this world, but the Spirit who is of God, so that we may understand the things that have been given to us by God.

13 Nke a bụ ihe anyị na-ekwu, ọ bụghị nʼokwu a kuziiri anyị site nʼamamihe mmadụ, kama site nʼokwu nke Mmụọ kuziri anyị; anyị ji okwu nke Mmụọ na-akọwa eziokwu nke mmụọ.

And we are also speaking of these things, not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, bringing spiritual things together with spiritual things.

14 Ma mmadụ ahụ Mmụọ na-adịghị nʼime ya adịghị anabata ihe ndị ahụ sị na Mmụọ nke Chineke bịa, nʼihi na ha bụ nzuzu nʼebe onye ahụ nọ. Ọ naghị aghọta ha, nʼihi na ha bụ ihe a na-aghọta naanị site nʼike nke Mmụọ.

But the animal nature of man does not perceive these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand it, because it must be examined spiritually.

15 Onye ahụ Mmụọ Nsọ na-achị achị na ndụ ya, nwere ike ịghọta ihe ọbụla ma ya onwe ya bụ onye mmadụ ọbụla na-enweghị ike ịghọta.

But the spiritual nature of man judges all things, and he himself may be judged by no man.

16 Nʼihi na, “Onye maara uche Onyenwe anyị ruo na ọ ga-ezi ya ụzọ?” Ma anyị onwe anyị nwere uche nke Kraịst.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, so that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
