< 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 I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.
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 determined not to know any thing 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 in 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 speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 Ka okwukwe unu ghara ịdabere nʼamamihe mmadụ, kama ka ọ dabere nʼike Chineke.
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power 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 )
However we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (aiōn )
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 )
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world to our glory: (aiōn )
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 )
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn )
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 as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that 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 hath revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, even, the deep things 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.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but 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.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; that we may know the things that are freely 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.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
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 natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
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 he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is 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 hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
