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 as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to.

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 to be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified.

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

And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety.

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 language and the Message that I proclaimed were not adorned with persuasive words of earthly wisdom, but depended upon truths which the Spirit taught and mightily carried home;

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

so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man but on 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 g165)

Yet when we are among mature believers we do speak words of wisdom; a wisdom not belonging, however, to the present age nor to the leaders of the present age who are soon to pass away. (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)

But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom--that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us; (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)

a wisdom which not one of the leaders of the present age possesses, for if they had possessed 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--to use the words of Scripture--we speak of things which eye has not seen nor ear heard, and which have never entered the heart of man: all that God has in readiness 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.

For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature.

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, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? In the same way, also, only God's Spirit is acquainted with God's inner thoughts.

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 the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may know the blessings that have been so 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.

Of these we speak--not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches--adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths.

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.

The unspiritual man rejects the things of the Spirit of God, and cannot attain to the knowledge of them, because they are spiritually judged.

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 man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one.

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 penetrated the mind of the Lord, and will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
