1 Corinthians 2

1 I, therefore, brethren, when I came unto you, came, not with excellency of discourse or wisdom, declaring unto you the mystery of God;

Ulunainchile khulyomwe valokholo na vakhancha vango, saninchile khumamenyu ga wegane nu ulukhala ndavovwa navalumbelile elweli eye fikhime eya Nguluve.

2 For I had not determined to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, —and, him, as one who had been crucified!

Nalamwile ukhusita ukhu khemanya khyokhyoni ulunale numwe apange u Yesu Klisite, nu umwene uveatesikhe.

3 I, therefore in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, came to be with you,

Pwu nale numwe bila ya amakha, na mumbodwado, nu khutetema.

4 And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power:

Elimenyu lyango nu hulumbelela khwango sakhwale mu mamenyu ga vwugane nu lukhala lwa khuva, gale ukhumbonesya umepo na amakha.

5 In order that, your faith, might not be in men’s wisdom, but in God’s power.

Pwu ulwedekho lwenyo yesite ukhuva mu ndukhala lwa vanu, love mumakha aga Nguluve.

6 Wisdom, however, we do speak, among the full-grown, —wisdom, indeed, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are to come to nought; (aiōn g165)

Leno twenchova helukhala na avanu avavakha, syo ndukhala lwa khilunga ehe, apange avalongonchi ava misekhe ege, vavo vilota. (aiōn g165)

7 But we speak, God’s, wisdom, in a sacred secret, that hidden [wisdom], which God marked out beforehand, before the ages, for our glory, — (aiōn g165)

Ulwa khuva twinchova ulukhala lwa Nguluve mu yelweli yeyo eyefihiwe, ulukhala lulwa lufihime ulwa alokhalile u Nguluve vwosagefikhe emisekhe egya vuvalanche vweto. (aiōn g165)

8 Which, none of the rulers of this age had come to know, for, had they known, not, in that case, the Lord of the glory, would they have crucified! (aiōn g165)

Asikhili ondongonchi yeyone uvaemisekhe ege yuywa alumanyile ulukhala ulu, vale valumanyage emisekhe gela, ndalino savantesye Untwa va uvalanche. (aiōn g165)

9 But, even as it is written—The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and upon the heart of man have not come up, —whatsoever things God hath prepared for them that love him,

Nda vovwa yesimbiwe, “Embombo nchicho lisikhuli embolokhuto eyepulikhe, amasago sagasage, imbombo nchincho Nguluve anchitesaninche khuvavo avaganile umwene.

10 Unto us, in fact, hath God revealed through the Spirit; for, the Spirit, into all things, maketh search, yea! the deep things of God.

Inchi ncho mbombo incho u Nguluve anchigubatwile khulyofwe khugendela umepo, ulwa khuwa umepo ikhongela khila khenu, na nchimbombo incha Nguluve.

11 For who of men knoweth the things of a man, —save the spirit of the man that is in him? thus, even the things of God, hath no one come to know, save the Spirit of God.

Ulwa khuva veni agamanyile amasago ga munu apange u mepo va Nguluve.

12 But, as for us, —not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, —that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: —

Ulwa khuva satwaambelele emepo ya khelunga, u mepo uveakhomile khwa Nguluve, pwu tulumanye khu vwudekhe imbombo nchicho twambelile khwa Nguluve.

13 Which we also speak—not in words taught of human wisdom, but in such as are taught of [the] Spirit, by spiritual words, spiritual things, explaining.

Twinchova amamenyu aga gago ulukhala lwa munu saluwesya ukhumanyisya gago u mepo ikhotumanyisya u mepo iganula amamenyu aga he mepo khu lukhala lwa mepo.

14 But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

Umunu uvealevovole umepo sikhupela imbombo incha mepo va Nguluve, ulwa khuva ago gahekonyofu khumwene. Siwesya ukhugamanya ulwa khuva gimanye khekha he mepo.

15 But, the man of the spirit, on the one hand, examineth all things, but, on the other, he himself, by no one, is examined.

Uva mepo ekhega imbombo nchoni, vope ikhegiwa na vange.

16 For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord, that shall instruct him? But, we, have, the mind of Christ.

“Veni iwesya ukhugamanya amasago ga Ntwa, veni uveiwesya ukhumanyisya umwene?” Pwu tulenamasage ga Klisite.
