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 eloquence of speech or wisdom as I proclaimed hidden truths about 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 decided to know nothing when I was 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.

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 message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom. Instead, they were with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 Enti, mo gyidie nnyina onipa nyansa so, na mmom, ɛgyina Onyankopɔn tumi so.

so that your faith might not be in the wisdom of humans, 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)

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this world, 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)

Instead, we speak God's wisdom in hidden truth, the hidden wisdom that 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)

None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had understood 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, “Things that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined, the things that 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.

These are the things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, 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 who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of the person in him? So also, no one knows the deep 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 did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might know the things 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.

We speak about these things in words that man's wisdom cannot teach, but which the Spirit teaches us. The Spirit interprets spiritual words with spiritual wisdom.

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.

The unspiritual person does not receive the things that belong to the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. He cannot 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.

The one who is spiritual judges all things, but he is not subject to the judgment of others.

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 can know the mind of the Lord, that he can instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
