1 Bhakolinto 2
1 Bhakilishitu ajangunji, nne punaishe kunngwenunji kukunnungushiyanga, nangannungushayanga ya nng'iyo ga ntenga gwa a Nnungu, kwa talashiya ukoto wala kwa lunda lwa shigundu.
When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
2 Punaliji kunngwenunji nashinkutumbilila ngunalunguye shindu shoshowe, ikabhe mwaamanyanje a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhakomelwe munshalabha.
For I determined not to know anything amongst you except Yeshua the Messiah and him crucified.
3 Punaliji kunngwenunji ngakweteje mashili, nguliungumila na lipamba lya kaje.
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
4 Malobhe gangu na kulunguya kwangu kukaliji kwa lunda na tekeya, ikabhe kwa ilangulo na mashili gaka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
My speech and my proclaiming were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 Nashinkutenda genego nkupinga ngulupai jenunji jinatamile ga lunda luka mundu, ikabhe mmashili ga a Nnungu.
that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Nkali nneyo, tunabheleketa kwa lunda kwa bhene bhaishimilikenje nngulupai bhala, ikabheje lwene lundalo nngabha lwa pa shilambolyo pano, wala nngabha lwa bhakulunhwanji bha pa shilambolyo bhalinginji munkumbi gwa bhaobhanga. (aiōn g165)
We speak wisdom, however, amongst those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing. (aiōn g165)
7 Lunda lutubheleketa lwa shinjubhi sha a Nnungu, ni lunda lwaishiwe, kuumila kupanganywa shilambolyo, kwa ligongo lya ukojelo gewtu. (aiōn g165)
But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, (aiōn g165)
8 Lwene lundalo bhatagwala bha pashilambolyo bhakakulumanyanga, pabha kaliji bhakalumanyinji, ngubhakaakomelenjeje munshalabha, Bhakulungwa bha Ukonjelo. (aiōn g165)
which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
9 Ikabheje malinga shiijandikwe, “Indu ikanabhe bhoneka na mundu wala kwiipilikana, indu ikanabhe ganishiywa na mundu, genego a Nnungu ni gubhaabhishilenje bhandu bhakwaapinganga bhala.”
But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”
10 Genego gubhatulangwiye a Nnungu kwa Mbumu jwabho. Pabha Mbumu analoleya indu yowe nkali indu ya injubhi ya a Nnungu.
But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 Gani akwiimanya indu ili mmbumu juka mundu ikabhe mbumu juka mundu nnyene? Nneyo peyo indu ya a Nnungu jwakwa akwiimanya ikabhe Mbumu jwa a Nnungu.
For who amongst men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.
12 Ikabheje uwe twangaposhela mbumu jwa pashilambolyo, ikabhe Mbumu akopoka kwa a Nnungu nkupinga atukomboye kugamanya gowe gubhatulagushiye a Nnungu.
But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
13 Bhai, uwe tunajiganya, nngabha kwa malobhe gutujigenywe na lunda lwa bhandunji, ikabhe kwa malobhe gutujigenywe naka Mbumu, tulijiganya indu ya muntima kwa bhakwetenje jwene Mbumujo.
We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
14 Mundu jwa lunda lwa shibhelekwe, akakwiiposhela indu ika Mbumu jwa a Nnungu. Kuka jwenejo inabhoneka mbuti ungumba wala akakwiimanya, pabha pugamanyika kwa jangutilwa naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 Ikabheje mundu akwete jwene Mbumujo anakombola kuukumula gowe, na nnyene akaukumulwa naka mundu juna.
But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
16 Majandiko gakuti, “Gani akombola kulumanya lunda lwa Bhakulungwa? Gani shaabhelekete nabho?” Ikabheje uwe tushikola lunda lwa a Kilishitu.
“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Messiah’s mind.
