1 Abhakorintho 2
1 Lwanahenzele humwenyu kolo nu yilombo bhane, saganahenzele namazu giushawishi ni njele hansi ahusu Ungolobhe.
For my own part, friends, when I came to you, it was with no display of eloquence or philosophy that I came to tell the hidden purpose of God;
2 Nahamuye asagamanye shoshonti lwanahelo namwe ila wha Yesu uKristi, numwene wateseshe.
for I had determined that, while with you, I would forget everything except Jesus Christ – and him crucified!
3 Nalinamwe whuu dhowofu, huwogo na katika ayinje hani.
Indeed, when I came among you, I was weak, and full of fears, and in great anxiety.
4 Niizu lyane lyalombelele huline sagawhaleho whumazu giushawishi ni njele. Badala yakwe, gali katika hufunule uPepo ne ngovo,
My message and my proclamation were not delivered in the persuasive language of philosophy, but were accompanied by the manifestation of spiritual power,
5 aje olweteho lwenyu lusabhe katika injele yabhanadamu, ila katika engovo ya Ngolobhe.
so that your faith should be based, not on the human wisdom, but on the power of God.
6 Eshi tihuyiyanga injele mumiongoni mwa bhantu abhagosi, lakini saga hunjele yense ene au yabhatabhala bhinyakati ezi, ambawo bhashila. (aiōn g165)
Yet there is a philosophy that we teach to those whose faith is matured, but it is not the philosophy of today, or of the leaders of today – whose downfall is at hand. (aiōn g165)
7 Badala yakwe, tihuyiyanga injele ya Ngolobhe katika ilyoli lilifisishe, injele yifisishe ambayo Ungolobhe ayisaluye kabla yinyakati ziutuntumu wetu. (aiōn g165)
No, it is a divine philosophy that we teach, one concerned with the hidden purpose of God – that long hidden philosophy which God, before time began, destined for our glory. (aiōn g165)
8 Nomo wowonti wa bhatabhala bhinyakati ezi wayemenye injele ene, nkabhayimenye katika inyakati zila, andisaga bhanyenvega uGosi wituntumu. (aiōn g165)
This philosophy is clearly not known to any of the leaders of today, since, had they known it, they would never have crucified our glorious Lord! (aiōn g165)
9 Ishi hansi shayasimbwilwe, amambo ambayo nalimo iliso lililolile, nalimo ikuta lyalyahevwezye ensewo sagazyasebhele, amambo ambayo Ongolobhe aga andayile kwa ajili yabhala bhagene umwene.”
It is what scripture speaks of as – ‘What eye never saw, nor ear ever heard, what never entered people’s minds – all these things God has prepared for those who love him.’
10 Ege mambo gagali Ongolobhe agakwinkuye humwetu ashilile uMpepo, afatanaje uMpepo achunguzya shila hantu hata amambo gamuhati yakwe.
Yet to us God revealed it through his Spirit; for the Spirit fathoms all things, even the inmost depths of God’s being.
11 Afwatanaje wenu amenye ensewo zyamntu, isipokuwa roho ya mtu ndani yake? Hivyo pia, hakuna mambo ya ndani ya Mungu, ila Mpepo wa Ngolobhe.
For what person is there who knows what a person is, except the person’s own spirit within them? So, also, no one comprehends what God is, except the Spirit of God.
12 Eshi sagataposheleye umoyo gwense, eshi uMpepo wafuma wha Ngolobhe, ili aje tiwezye amanye whiwaushe amambo gatapewilwe no Ngolobhe.
And as for us, it is not the spirit of the world that we have received, but the Spirit that comes from God, so that we may realize the blessings given to us by him.
13 Tiyanje amambo ega whimazu gagali njele, whamuntu sagawezya amanyizye, ila uMpepo awhutimanyizya. Umpepo ahugabadilinsa amazu gahumoyo hunjele yi shimoyo.
And we speak of these gifts, not in language taught by human philosophy, but in language taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things in spiritual words.
14 Umuntu wasaga wishimoyo sagaposhela amambo gagali ga Mpepo wa Ngolobhe, afwatanaje ego giwalangani hukwakwe sagawezya hugamanye afwatanaje gamanyiha shimoyo.
The merely intellectual person rejects the teaching of the Spirit of God; for to them it is mere folly; they cannot grasp it, because it is to be understood only by spiritual insight.
15 Hola wishimoyo alonje amambo gonti. Ila alongwa na bhanje.
But the person with spiritual insight is able to understand everything, although they themselves are understood by no one.
16 “Yunanu awezya amanye ensewo zya Gosi, wawezya humanyizye?” Ila tilinensewo zya Kristi.
For who has so comprehended the mind of the Lord as to be able to instruct him? We, however, have the mind of Christ.
