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.

And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim God’s great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy;

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.

for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.

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

In weakness and fear and great trembling came I among you.

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

My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power;

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

in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, 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)

Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought. (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)

No, it is God’s wisdom that I utter, that hidden wisdom which God had decreed before the world began, unto our glory. (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 the present age understands it, 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.”

Nay, as it is written. Eye has not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither have entered into man’s heart The things which 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.

Yet God has unveiled them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit fathoms everything, even the abysmal 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.

For what man knows the depths of man except the man’s own inner Spirit? Even so, also, the Spirit of God knows the deeps profound 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.

But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God.

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.

Of these high themes we speak in words not taught by human philosophy, but by the Spirit; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men.

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.

The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of God’s Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned,

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

But the spiritual man discerns everything, yet is himself discerned by no one.

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

For what man understands the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?
