1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.
Ko ahau, e oku teina, i ahau i haere atu ai ki a koutou, kihai ahau i haere atu me te pai kupu, me te hua ranei o te whakaaro, i ahau i kauwhau ai ki a koutou i te mea ngaro a te Atua.
2 For I did not judge [it well] to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
I takoto hoki toku whakaaro, kia kaua ahau e matau ki tetahi mea i roto i a koutou, ko Ihu Karaiti anake, ko ia hoki i ripekatia.
3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling;
A i a koutou ahau me te ngoikore, me te wehi, me te tuiri nui.
4 and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;
Ko taku korero me taku kauwhau ehara i te kupu whakapati na to te tangata whakaaro nui, engari he whakakitenga na te Wairua, na te kaha:
5 that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.
Kia kore ai to koutou whakapono e tu i runga i o te tangata whakaaro nui, engari i to te Atua kaha.
6 But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought. (aiōn g165)
He ahakoa ra e korero ana matou i te whakaaro nui ki waenganui i te hunga tino tika: ehara ano ia i te whakaaro mohio no tenei ao, no nga rangatira ranei o tenei ao, e memeha haere nei: (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory: (aiōn g165)
Engari e korero ana matou i te whakaaro nui o te Atua i roto i te mea ngaro, i te whakaaro mohio i huna ra, ko ta te Atua i whakatakoto ai i mua o nga ao, hei whakakororia mo tatou: (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; ) (aiōn g165)
Kihai nei tetahi o nga rangatira o tenei ao i matau; me i matau hoki ratou, kua kahore e ripekatia e ratou te Ariki o te kororia: (aiōn g165)
9 but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,
Engari ka rite ki te mea i tuhituhia ra, Ko nga mea kahore te kanohi i kite, kahore te taringa i rongo, kahore ano i tapoko noa ki te ngakau o te tangata, ko nga mea kua rite i te Atua mo te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia.
10 but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
Otiia kua whakakitea mai aua mea ki a tatou e te Atua ma tona Wairua: e rapu ana hoki te Wairua i nga mea katoa, ae, i nga mea hohonu a te Atua.
11 For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.
Ko wai oti o nga tangata e matau ana ki nga mea a te tangata? ko te wairua anake o te tangata i roto i a ia: waihoki ko nga mea a te Atua e kore e matauria e tetahi, engari e te Wairua o te Atua.
12 But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which [is] of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:
Otiia ko te wairua i riro mai nei i a tatou, ehara i te wairua o te ao, engari ko te Wairua e ahu mai nei i te Atua; kia matau ai tatou ki nga mea kua oti nei te homai e te Atua ki a tatou.
13 which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual [things] by spiritual [means].
Na ka korero matou i aua mea, ehara nga kupu i te whakaaro mohio o te tangata i whakaako mai, engari he mea whakaako na te Wairua Tapu; e whakariterite ana i nga mea wairua ki nga mea wairua.
14 But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know [them] because they are spiritually discerned;
Na e kore te tangata i te ngakau maori e tango i nga mea o te Wairua o te Atua: ki a ia he mea kuware era; a e kore ia e ahei te matau, he mea ma te Wairua ka kitea ai.
15 but the spiritual discerns all things, and he is discerned of no one.
Otiia ki te mea kei tetahi te Wairua, ka kitea e ia nga mea katoa, e kore ano ia e kitea e tetahi.
16 For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Ko wai hoki te matau ana ki te hinengaro o te Ariki, e whakaako ai ia i a ia? Kei a tatou ia te hinengaro o te Karaiti.
