1 Bakolinto 2

1 Yango wana bandeko, tango ngai mpe nayaki epai na bino mpo na kosakola mabombami ya Nzambe, nasalelaki te boyebi makasi ya koloba to ya bwanya.

And I, having come unto you, brethren, came — not in superiority of discourse or wisdom — declaring to you the testimony of God,

2 Pamba te, wana nazalaki elongo na bino, nazwaki mokano ya koluka koyeba likambo mosusu te, longola kaka Yesu-Klisto mpe Yesu-Klisto oyo babakaki na ekulusu.

for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

3 Mpe tango nayaki epai na bino, nazalaki kati na bolembu, na kobanga mpe na kolenga.

and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

4 Maloba mpe mateya na ngai ewutaki te na maloba ya bwanya ya bomoto mpo na kondimisa bino, kasi ewutaki na kotalisama ya Molimo mpe ya nguya,

and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power —

5 mpo ete moboko ya kondima na bino ezala te bwanya ya bomoto, kasi ezala nde nguya ya Nzambe.

that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Nzokande, toteyaka bwanya epai ya Baklisto oyo bakemba na kondima; mpe bwanya yango ezali ya mokili oyo te to mpe ya bakonzi ya tango oyo te, oyo babongisami mpo na libebi. (aiōn g165)

And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age — of those becoming useless, (aiōn g165)

7 Te! Toteyaka nde mabombami ya bwanya ya Nzambe, bwanya oyo ebombama na miso ya bato ya mokili, bwanya oyo Nzambe abongisa mpo na nkembo na biso, liboso ete akela mokili. (aiōn g165)

but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory, (aiōn g165)

8 Kati na bakonzi ya mokili oyo, moko te asosolaki yango; pamba te soki basosolaki yango, balingaki te kobaka Nkolo ya nkembo na ekulusu. (aiōn g165)

which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified; (aiōn g165)

9 Kasi, kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Oyo liso etikala nanu komona te, oyo litoyi etikala nanu koyoka te, mpe oyo moto atikala nanu kokanisa te kati na motema na ye, yango nde Nzambe abongisi mpo na bato oyo balingaka Ye. »

but, according as it hath been written, 'What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him — '

10 Nzokande, Nzambe atalisaki biso yango na nzela ya Molimo na Ye; pamba te Molimo ayebaka nyonso, ezala bozindo ya makanisi ya Nzambe.

but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

11 Nani kati na bato ayebi makanisi ya moto, soki kaka molimo oyo ezali kati na moto yango te? Ndenge moko mpe moko te ayebi makanisi ya Nzambe, longola kaka Molimo na Ye.

for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

12 Nzokande biso, tozwaki molimo ya mokili te, kasi tozwaki Molimo kowuta na Nzambe, mpo ete tokoka kososola biloko oyo Nzambe apesi biso na nzela ya ngolu.

And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

13 Ezali biloko yango nde tolobelaka, na maloba ya bwanya ya bomoto te kasi na maloba oyo Molimo alakisaka. Boye, tolobelaka makambo ya Molimo na nzela ya maloba oyo Molimo apesaka.

which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,

14 Moto oyo azangi Molimo ya Nzambe akoki te koyamba makambo kowuta na Molimo ya Nzambe, pamba te ezali lokola liboma na miso na ye; akoki mpe te koyeba yango, pamba te basosolaka yango kaka na nzela ya Molimo.

and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know [them], because spiritually they are discerned;

15 Moto oyo atambolisamaka na Molimo asosolaka makambo nyonso; kasi ye, bato basosolaka ye te, pamba te ekomama:

and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

16 « Nani ayebi makanisi ya Nkolo mpo akoka kopesa Ye toli? » Nzokande biso, makanisi ya Klisto ezali kati na biso.

for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we — we have the mind of Christ.
