1 Korintofoɔ 2
1 Anuanom, ɛberɛ a mebaa mo nkyɛn bɛkaa Onyankopɔn ho ahintasɛm a ɛyɛ nokorɛ kyerɛɛ mo no, manka asɛm a ɛkyere adwene anaa nyansa a ɛtra mo so.
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellence of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.
2 Meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ ɛberɛ a me ne mo wɔ hɔ no, mɛma me werɛ afiri biribiara gye Yesu Kristo nko na ne titire no, ne wuo wɔ asɛnnua no so no.
For I determined not to know any thing among you but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 Enti, ɛberɛ a mebaa mo hɔ no, na meyɛ mmerɛ a ehu ne ahopopoɔ aka me.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling:
4 Na me nkyerɛkyerɛ a mekyerɛkyerɛeɛ no nso mannyina anyansasɛm ne nnipa adwene so na mekyerɛkyerɛeɛ, na mmom, menam kasa pa so daa tumi a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom Kronkron no mu no adi.
and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 Enti, mo gyidie nnyina onipa nyansa so, na mmom, ɛgyina Onyankopɔn tumi so.
that your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Mekasa nyansa mu kyerɛ wɔn a wɔanyini wɔ Honhom mu. Nanso, saa nyansa no nyɛ ewiase nyansa anaa ewiase yi mu tumi ahodoɔ a wɔn tumi resa no. (aiōn g165)
Yet we speak wisdom among the perfect; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are brought to nought: (aiōn g165)
7 Nyansasɛm a meka no yɛ Onyankopɔn nyansa a wɔde ahinta nnipa. Ɛno na Onyankopɔn ayi ato hɔ ama yɛn dada sɛ yɛn animuonyam ahyɛdeɛ ansa na wɔrebɔ ewiase. (aiōn g165)
but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, even that which had been hidden, which God predestined before the ages, for our glory, (aiōn g165)
8 Aman sodifoɔ biara nnim saa nyansa no. Sɛ wɔnim a, anka wɔremmɔ Awurade a animuonyam ahyɛ no ma no asɛnnua mu. (aiōn g165)
which none of the rulers of this age knew; for, had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. (aiōn g165)
9 Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Deɛ onipa biara anhunu na wante da, deɛ onipa biara annwene ho sɛ ɛbɛba da no, ɛno na Onyankopɔn no ara asiesie ama wɔn a wɔdɔ no no.”
But, as it is written: Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and into the heart of man have not entered the things which God has prepared for them that love him.
10 Na yɛn na Onyankopɔn nam ne Honhom Kronkron no so ada nʼahintasɛm yi adi akyerɛ yɛn. Honhom no pɛɛpɛɛ biribiara mu kɔsi Onyankopɔn ahintasɛm a emu dɔ no so.
But God has revealed them to us through his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11 Onipa deɛ, ɔno ara ne honhom a ɛte ne mu no na ɛnim ne ho nsɛm nyinaa; saa ara nso na Onyankopɔn Honhom no nko ara na ɛnim Onyankopɔn ho nsɛm nyinaa.
For what man knows the things of man, but the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, the things of God no one knows, but the Spirit of God.
12 Ɛnyɛ ewiase yi mu honhom na yɛanya; Honhom Kronkron a Onyankopɔn somaa no no na yɛanya sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma yɛahunu deɛ Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn no nyinaa.
And we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God:
13 Enti, ɛnyɛ nsɛm a nnipa de wɔn nyansa akyerɛ yɛn no na yɛka, na mmom, nsɛm a Honhom no akyerɛ yɛn no na yɛnam Honhom no mu nokorɛ reda saa honhom mu nsɛm yi adi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ Honhom no.
which things also we speak, not in words taught by man’s wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
14 Nanso, obi a ɔnni Honhom no rentumi nnya akyɛdeɛ a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn Honhom no mu. Ɔrente aseɛ da biara da; ɔfa no sɛ nsɛm a aba nni mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔgyina Honhom no nko so na wɔbɛtumi anya nteaseɛ a ɛsɛ.
But an animal man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he can not know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 Onipa a Honhom no te ne mu no tumi sese biribiara nanso obiara rentumi mmu no atɛn.
But the spiritual man discerns all things; yet he himself is discerned by no one.
16 Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Hwan na ɔnim Awurade adwene? Hwan na ɔbɛtumi atu no fo?” Nanso, yɛn deɛ, yɛwɔ Kristo adwene no bi.
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
