1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery 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 determined not 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 speech and my preaching were 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 should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Kia kore ai to koutou whakapono e tu i runga i o te tangata whakaaro nui, engari i to te Atua kaha.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, which are coming 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, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto 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 rulers of this world knoweth: for had they known it, 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 as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God 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 unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things 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 among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save 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 received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us by 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 things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
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 Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.
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 he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.
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 hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should 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.
