1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, erile fa ke tla kwa go lona ga ke a ka ka dirisa mafoko a boikgogomoso le megopolo e e nonofileng go lo bolelela molaetsa wa Modimo.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Gonne ke ne ke ikaeletse gore ke tlaa bua kaga Jesu Keresete fela le loso lwa gagwe mo mokgorong.
3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
Ke tsile kwa go lona ke le bokoa, ke boifa ke roroma.
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Mme thero ya me e ne e tlhamaletse, e sena puo e e tsietsang ya botlhale jwa setho, mme nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo e ne e le mo mafokong a me, e supegetsa ba ba neng ba a utlwa gore molaetsa o ne o tswa kwa Modimong.
5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Ke ne ke dira se ka gore ke ne ke batla gore tumelo ya lona e nitame mo Modimong, e seng mo megopolong e megolo ya batho.
6 We speak wisdom, however, among 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)
Le fa go ntse jalo fa ke na le Bakeresete ba ba nonofileng mo tumelong ke a tle ke bue mafoko a botlhale jo bogolo, mme e seng a mofuta o o tswang mono lefatsheng, le e seng ka mofuta wa batho ba lefatshe le, ba ba tlaa tlogang ba nyelela. (aiōn g165)
7 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)
Mafoko a rona a botlhale ka gore a tswa mo Modimong, a re bolelela botlhale jwa leano la Modimo le le re tlisang mo dikgalalelong tsa Legodimo. Leano le le ne le fitlhegile mo lobakeng lwa pele, le fa le ne la dirwa go re solegela molemo pele ga tshimologo ya lefatshe. (aiōn g165)
8 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)
Mme batho ba bagolo ba lefatshe ga ba a ka ba le tlhaloganya; fa ba ne ba le tlhalogantse, ba ka bo ba sa bapola Morena wa kgalalelo. (aiōn g165)
9 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.”
Ke sone se Dikwalo di se rayang fa di re, ga go na motho ope yo o kileng a bona, a utlwa kgotsa a akanya tse dintle tse Modimo o di baakanyeditseng ba ba ratang Morena.
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Mme re itse kaga dilo tse ka gore Modimo o rometse Mowa wa one go re di bolelela, mme Mowa wa one o a puruputsha ebile o re bontsha diphiri tse di kwa teng tsa Modimo.
11 For who among 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.
Ga go na ope yo o ka itseng se yo mongwe o se akanyang, kgotsa gore o ntse jang, fa e se ene motho yoo ka boene. Ebile ga go ope yo o ka itseng dikakanyo tsa Modimo fa e se Mowa wa Modimo ka bo-one.
12 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.
Modimo o re neile Mowa wa one (eseng mowa wa lefatshe) go re bolelela kaga dineo tse di ntle tsa tshegofatso tse Modimo o re di neileng.
13 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.
Mo go lo boleleleng kaga dineo tse, re dirisitse one tota mafoko a re neng re a newa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo go tlhalosa ditiro tsa Mowa O O Boitshepo.
14 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.
Mme motho yo e seng Mokeresete ga a ka ke a tlhaloganya a bo a amogela megopolo e e tswang mo Modimong, e Mowa O O Boitshepo o re e rutang. E utlwala e le boeleele mo go ene, ka gore ke ba ba nang le Mowa O O Boitshepo fela ba ba ka tlhaloganyang gore Mowa O O Boitshepo o rayang. Ba bangwe ga ba ka ke ba tlhaloganya.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
Mme motho wa semowa o tlhaloganya dilo tsotlhe, le tse di tshwenyang ebile di palela motho wa lefatshe, yo o se ka keng a mo tlhaloganya gotlhelele.
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
Go ka nna jang? Gonne ka boammaaruri ga a ise a ke a itse dikakanyo tsa Morena, kgotsa le fa e le go di buisana nae, kgotsa go tshikinya mabogo a Modimo ka thapelo. Mme go bonala go hakgamatsa, rona bakeresete mo go rona re na le bontlha bongwe jwa dikakanyo le mogopolo wa ga Keresete.
