< 1 Corinthians 2 >

1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellencie of woordes, or of wisedome, shewing vnto you the testimonie of God.
Pea ko au, ʻe kāinga, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu atu ʻi he mālie ʻoe lea, pe ʻi he poto, ke fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻOtua.
2 For I esteemed not to knowe any thing among you, saue Iesus Christ, and him crucified.
He naʻe maʻu hoku loto, ʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo hono tutuki ki he ʻakau.
3 And I was among you in weakenesse, and in feare, and in much trembling.
Pea naʻaku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he vaivai, mo e manavahē, pea ʻi he tetetete lahi.
4 Neither stoode my woorde, and my preaching in the entising speach of mans wisdom, but in plaine euidence of the Spirite and of power,
Pea ko ʻeku lea mo ʻeku malanga, naʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi lea fakaoloolo ʻoe poto ʻoe tangata, kae ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻoe Laumālie mo e mālohi:
5 That your faith should not be in the wisdome of men, but in the power of God.
Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tuʻu ʻi he poto ʻoe tangata hoʻomou tui, ka ʻi he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua.
6 And we speake wisedome among them that are perfect: not the wisedome of this world, neither of the princes of this world, which come to nought. (aiōn g165)
Ka ʻoku mau lea ʻaki ʻae poto ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku haohaoa: ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e poto ʻoe māmani, pe ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe māmani, ʻaia ʻe aʻu ʻo ngata: (aiōn g165)
7 But we speake the wisedome of God in a mysterie, euen the hid wisedom, which God had determined before the world, vnto our glory. (aiōn g165)
Ka ʻoku mau lea ʻaki ʻae poto lilo ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngāue fufū, ʻaia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani, ko hotau leleiʻanga: (aiōn g165)
8 Which none of the princes of this world hath knowen: for had they knowen it, they would not haue crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
‌ʻAia naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ha taha ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe māmani: he ka nenau ʻilo ia, pehē, ʻe ʻikai te nau tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻae ʻEiki lāngilangi. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, The thinges which eye hath not seene, neither eare hath heard, neither came into mans heart, are, which God hath prepared for them that loue him.
Kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “ʻOku teʻeki ai mamata ʻe ha mata, pe fanongo ʻe ha telinga, Pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hū ki he loto ʻo ha tangata, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻaia ʻoku teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia.”
10 But God hath reueiled them vnto vs by his Spirit: for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deepe things of God.
Ka kuo fakahā ia ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ʻaki hono Laumālie: he ʻoku hakule ʻe he Laumālie ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi meʻa loloto ʻi he ʻOtua.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, saue the spirite of a man, which is in him? euen so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God.
He ko hai ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae tangata, ka ko e laumālie pe ʻoe tangata ʻoku ʻiate ia? Pea ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, ka ko e Laumālie pe ʻoe ʻOtua.
12 Nowe we haue receiued not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit, which is of God, that we might knowe the thinges that are giuen to vs of God.
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ko e laumālie ʻo māmani kuo tau maʻu, ka ko e laumālie ʻoku mei he ʻOtua; koeʻuhi ke tau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo foaki mataʻataʻatā pe kiate kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua.
13 Which things also we speake, not in the woordes which mans wisedome teacheth, but which the holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spirituall things with spirituall things.
‌ʻAe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mau lea ki ai, kae ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻoku ako mai ʻe he poto ʻoe tangata, ka ko ia ʻoku ako ʻaki ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; ʻo fakamatala ʻae meʻa fakalaumālie ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakalaumālie.
14 But the naturall man perceiueth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishnesse vnto him: neither can hee knowe them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe he tangata fakakakano ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua: he ko e vale ia kiate ia: pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa ʻilo ia, he ʻoku ʻilo fakalaumālie pe ia.
15 But hee that is spirituall, discerneth all things: yet he himselfe is iudged of no man.
Ka ko ia ʻoku fakalaumālie ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻiloʻi ia ʻe ha taha.
16 For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord, that hee might instruct him? But we haue the minde of Christ.
“He ko hai ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ne akonakiʻi ia?” Ka ʻoku tau maʻu ʻae finangalo ʻo Kalaisi.
