1 Corinthians 2
1 My fellow believers, when I came to you, I proclaimed to you the message that God had revealed to me. But I did not proclaim it using eloquent words that would make people think highly of me, nor did I argue in a way that unbelievers would think was very wise.
Sa dihang mianha ako kaninyo, mga igsoon, wala ako moanha uban sa kahanas sa pagpamulong o sa kaalam ingon nga akong gimantala ang tinagong mga kamatuoran mahitungod sa Dios.
2 I did that because I decided that I would speak only about Jesus Christ. Specifically, I told you [what he accomplished for us when] he was killed by being nailed {[when they] killed him by nailing him} to a cross.
Kay nakahukom ako nga dili makisayod sa dihang ako anaa pa sa inyong taliwala gawas lang kang Jesu-Cristo, ug sa paglansang kaniya sa krus.
3 Furthermore, when I was with you, I felt that I was not adequate [to do what Christ wanted me to do]. I was afraid [that I would not be able to do it], and because of that I was trembling very much.
Ug ako uban kaninyo sa kaluya, ug sa kahadlok, ug sa hilabihang pagpangurog.
4 When I taught you and preached to you, I did not speak words that [unbelievers would consider] [IRO] wise in order to convince them that my message was true. Instead, [God’s] Spirit showed that it was true by [enabling me to] powerfully [perform miracles].
Ug ang akong mensahe ug ang akong pagmantala dili mao ang makapadani nga mga pulong sa kaalam. Hinuon, nagpadayag sila sa Espiritu ug sa gahom,
5 [I taught and preached that way] in order that you might believe [my message], not because you heard words that people [considered to be] [IRO] wise, but [because you recognized] God’s power.
aron nga ang inyong pagtuo dili mahimong kaalam sa mga tawo, apan diha sa gahom sa Dios.
6 I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
Karon tinuod nga nagsulti kami sa kaalam taliwala sa mga hamtong na, apan dili ang kaalam niining kalibotana, o sa mga magmamando niining panahona, nga mangahanaw ra. (aiōn g165)
7 Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
Hinuon, magsulti kami sa kaalam sa Dios diha sa tinagong kamatuoran, ang tinagong kaalam nga gitagana sa Dios sa wala pa ang panahon alang sa atong himaya. (aiōn g165)
8 None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
Walay mga magmamando niining panahona ang nasayod niini nga kaalam, kay kung nasabtan pa nila kini niadtong taknaa, wala na unta nila gilansang sa krus ang Ginoo sa himaya. (aiōn g165)
9 But [we believers need to remember these words that a prophet] wrote [in the Scriptures]: Things that no one has ever seen, things that no one ever heard, things that no one ever thought could happen, those are the things that God has prepared for those who love him.
Apan ingon sa nahisulat, “Mga butang nga walay mata nga nakakita, walay dalunggan nga nakadungog, walay hunahuna nga nakahanduraw, ang mga butang nga giandam na sa Dios alang niadtong nahigugma kaniya.”
10 God has caused his Spirit to reveal those things to us [(inc)] believers. His Spirit can do that because he knows thoroughly the meaning of all things. He even knows the things about God that are very difficult to understand.
Mao kini ang mga butang nga gipadayag sa Dios kanato pinaagi sa Espiritu. Kay ang Espiritu magasusi sa tanan, bisan pa ang halawom nga mga butang sa Dios.
11 Only a person himself (OR, a person’s spirit) knows what he is thinking. Similarly, only God’s Spirit knows what God is thinking.
Kay kinsa ba ang nasayod sa panghunahuna sa tawo gawas sa espiritu sa tawo nga anaa kaniya? Busa usab, walay usa nga nasayod sa halawom nga mga butang sa Dios gawas sa Espiritu sa Dios.
12 It was not the ideas that unbelievers teach that we accepted. Instead, it was the Spirit who came from God that we received, in order that we might know the things that God has freely done for us.
Apan wala nato nadawat ang espiritu sa kalibotan, apan ang Espiritu nga gikan sa Dios, aron nga masayran nato ang mga butang nga gihatag kanato sa Dios nga walay bayad.
13 Those are the things that I tell you about. As I do that, I do not tell you things that someone [whom others thought] was [IRO] wise taught me. Instead, I tell you truths that [God’s] Spirit taught [me], and I explain those spiritual truths to people whose thinking is guided by God’s Spirit (OR, I teach spiritual [truths to] spiritual [people]).
Nagsulti kita mahitungod niining mga butanga sa mga pulong nga dili matudlo sa kaalam sa tawo, apan ang gitudlo sa Espiritu kanato. Ang Espiritu maghubad sa espirituhanong mga pulong inubanan sa espirituhanong kaalam.
14 Those who are unbelievers reject the truths that [God’s] Spirit teaches us [(inc)], because they [consider those truths to be] foolish. They cannot understand them, because it is God’s Spirit who enables us to evaluate those truths correctly, [and those people do not have God’s Spirit].
Ang tawo nga dili-espirituhanon dili makadawat sa mga butang nga iya sa Espiritu sa Dios, kay binuang sila alang kaniya. Dili siya makaila kanila tungod kay wala sila makasabot sa espirituhanon.
15 We who have God’s Spirit can judge correctly the [value of] all truths [that the Spirit reveals], but [unbelievers] cannot evaluate us correctly.
Ang usa nga espirituhanon maghukom sa tanang mga butang, apan dili siya ilalom sa paghukom sa uban.
16 As [one of our prophets wrote: ] No human [RHQ] has known what the Lord is thinking. No human [RHQ] is able to instruct him. But we believers are able to think about things [MTY] in the way that Christ thinks about them.
“Kay si kinsa ba ang nasayod sa hunahuna sa Ginoo, nga makahimo siya sa pagtudlo kaniya?” Apan nakabaton kita sa panghunahuna ni Cristo.
