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.

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery 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 anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 Enti, ɛberɛ a mebaa mo hɔ no, na meyɛ mmerɛ a ehu ne ahopopoɔ aka me.

When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.

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.

My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of 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 would not rest on human wisdom, but on 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)

We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature, but a wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (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, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God determined in advance 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 has understood. 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, No eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who 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 to us God revealed it through the 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 person knows the things of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also, no one knows the things of God except 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.

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 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.

And we speak of these things, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those 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.

Now the natural person does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand 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 he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged 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? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
