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 as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to.

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 be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified.

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

And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety.

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

And my language and the Message that I proclaimed were not adorned with persuasive words of earthly wisdom, but depended upon truths which the Spirit taught and mightily carried home;

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

so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man 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)

Yet when we are among mature believers we do speak words of wisdom; a wisdom not belonging, however, to the present age nor to the leaders of the present age who are soon to pass away. (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)

But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom--that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us; (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)

a wisdom which not one of the leaders of the present age possesses, for if they had possessed it, they would never 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--to use the words of Scripture--we speak of things which eye has not seen nor ear heard, and which have never entered the heart of man: all that God has in readiness for them that love Him.

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

For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature.

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, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? In the same way, also, only God's Spirit is acquainted with God's inner thoughts.

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 know the blessings that have been so freely given to 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 we speak--not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches--adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths.

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 things of the Spirit of God, and cannot attain to the knowledge of them, because they are spiritually judged.

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

But the spiritual man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one.

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

For who has penetrated the mind of the Lord, and will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
