1 Ukorintiyawa 2

1 Meng wang, nuanna nilime nan nishon kubi na nwa dak kitimine, na nwa dak nin umon inyiru un litining isa njinjing ninghari ba nwa su munu uliru nimon Kutellẹ ilenge na i nyeshin ba.

Brothers and sisters, when I came to you I didn't try to impress you with wonderful words or great wisdom when I told you what God had to say to you.

2 Nna yyiru na kibinai ning na mma yinnu imonmong kube na nwa di nan nya mine ba, se dei Yisa Kristi cas, na amere i na kotum kuca.

I decided that while I was with you I didn't want to concentrate on anything except Jesus Christ, and that he was crucified.

3 Tutung nwa di nanghinu nan nya lidarni, nin fiu a nan nya nkitizu.

I came to you in weakness, fearful and trembling.

4 Uliru nighe nin wazi nighe na nwa su nin nagbulang nrissu kujinjing ba, nani nin dursuzu nimon in yenju nin Ruhu a likara,

I didn't speak to you with persuasive words of wisdom to convince you. I just explained it all to you through the evidence and power of the Spirit.

5 bara uyinnu sa nyenu fe wa so nan nya kujinjin nanit, nani nsn nys liksrs Kutellẹ.

That way your trust in God wouldn't rely on human wisdom but on the power of God.

6 Nene asa ti lira nin kujinjin nan nya na wasara, na njinjing nle uyeh ba, sa njinjing nago nko kuje ba, alenge na kubi mine din katuzu. (aiōn g165)

However, we do use words of wisdom when we speak to those who are spiritually mature, but this isn't wisdom that comes from this world, or from the rulers of this world who soon fade from the scene. (aiōn g165)

7 Nan nya nani ti di bellu njinjing Kutellẹ nan nya kidegen linyeshin njinjing mo na mi wa nyeshin uworsu, mongo na Kutellẹ wa da ceo uworsu ana kuji bite nsa da ba bar ngongong bite. (aiōn g165)

On the contrary we explain God's wisdom in terms of a revealed mystery that was previously hidden which God planned for our glory before the creation of the worlds. (aiōn g165)

8 Na umong nago nko kuje yiru ninn mo njinjing ghe ba, bara andi ina yinin minin nkoni kube, na i wana kotun Cikilarii ugongong ba. (aiōn g165)

None of the rulers of this world understood anything about this—for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 Nafo na ina nyertin, “Imon ilenge na iyizi nsa yene ba, na kutuf nsa lanza ba, na nkan kibinai nsa kipiliza ba, imon ilenge na Kutellẹ na ke bara alenge na idi nin su me.”

But as Scripture says, “No one has ever seen, and no one has ever heard, and no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

10 Ilenge imonere Kutellẹ na puun nari inin nan nyan Ruhu, bara Uruhu din piziru imon vat, umunu imon iconcom Kutellẹ wang.

But God has revealed this to us through the Spirit, because the Spirit delves into the depths of God.

11 Ghari yiru ukpilizu kibinai nmong se dei uruhun nlenge na adi nan nya me? Nanere wang, na umon yiru imon iconcom Kutellẹ ba se dei Uruhu Kutellẹ.

Who knows anyone's thoughts except the actual person? In the same way no one knows God's thoughts except the Spirit of God.

12 Nani na arike na seru Uruhu in yih ba, fina na seru Uruhu ule na una nuzu kiti Kutelle, arike nan se ti yinno imon ile na ina ni nari unuzu kiti Kutellẹ sheu.

For we have received the Spirit from God, not the spirit of this world, so that we could understand what God so generously gave us.

13 Ti din su uliru kitene nimon nin nagbbwang alenge na njinjing nnit wasa a dursuzu nari. Uruhue din kpilizu agbulang nruhu nin jinjing nruhu.

That's what we speak about—not using words taught by human wisdom, but what the Spirit teaches. We explain what is spiritual using spiritual terms.

14 Na unan salin nruhu wasa a sere imon ile na idi Nruhu Kutellẹ ba, bara ileli imone nlalanghari kitime. Na awa sa a yinno inin ba bara ina dumun inin nin Ruhu.

Of course people who are not spiritual don't accept what comes from God's Spirit. It's just foolish nonsense to them, and they can't understand it, because what is spiritual has to be properly examined.

15 Ulenge na adi nin ruhu wasa a wuco imon vat, ana imong wasa a wuco imon me ba.

People who are spiritual investigate everything, but are not placed under investigation themselves.

16 “Nani ghari wasa ayinno kibinai nCikilare, na ama dursuzu ghe?” Vat nani ti din kibinai nKristi.

For “who understands the Lord's mind, and would think to instruct him?” But we do have Christ's mind!
