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.
Ta ishato, taani koyro Xoossaa qaala hinttew odashe yida wode, doona bilatethaninne cinccatethan yabiikke.
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.
Taani hinttera de7iya wode masqaliya bolla kaqettida Yesuus Kiristtoosappe attin harabaa eranaw koyikke gada ta qofa qachchas.
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.
Ta hinttera de7iya wode daaburan, yashshaninne daro kokkorssan de7as.
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].
Ta kiitaynne ta timirttey doona bilatethaninne cinccatethan gidonnashin, Geeshsha Ayyaana wolqqaa qonccisethaana.
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.
Hessika, hintte ammanoy Xoossaa wolqqaanappe attin asa cinccatethan zempponna melassa.
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)
Ayyaanan de7on diccidayssatas nuuni cinccatethaa qaalan odoos. Shin he cinccatethay, ha sa7aa cinccatethaa woykko dhayanaw de7iya ha sa7aa haareyssata cinccatethaa gidenna. (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)
Shin nuuni odiya cinccetethay, daro wodeppe sinthe Xoossay nu bonchchuwas giigisidayssanne geemmidi de7iya xuura cinccatethaa. (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)
Ha sa7aa haareyssatappe oonikka ha cinccatethaa eribeenna. Entti eridabaa gidiyakko, bonchcho Godaa masqaliya bolla kaqqokona. (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.
Shin Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Ayfey be7iboonnabaa, haythi si7iboonnabaa, wozani qoppiboonabaa, Xoossay bana siiqeyssatas giigisis” yaagees.
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.
Xoossay ba xuuraa ba Ayyaana baggara nuus qonccisis. Geeshsha Ayyaanay hari attoshin geemmida Xoossaa xuura ubbaa pilggees.
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.
Asan de7iya asa ayyaanaappe attin asabaa oonikka erenna. Hessadakka, Xoossabaa Xoossaa Ayyaanaappe attin oonikka erenna.
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.
Xoossay nuus coo immidabaa nu erana mela Xoossaa Ayyaanaa ekkidappe attin ha sa7aa ayyaana ekkibookko.
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]).
Nuuni ayyaanabaa, ayyaana asatas asa cinccatethan gidonnashin, Xoossaa Ayyaanay immiya cinccatethan tamaarssos.
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].
Shin Geeshsha Ayyaanay baynna asi Xoossaa Ayyaana imotata ekkenna. Hessi iyaw eeyatethi; ubbay Geeshsha Ayyaanan pilggettiya gisho, I eranaw dandda7enna.
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.
Shin Geeshsha Ayyaani de7iya asi ubbabaa pilggees, shin iya oonikka pilggenna.
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.
Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Godaa wozanaa erey oonee? Iya zoranaw dandda7ey oonee?” geetettidi xaafettidayssa mela. Shin nuus Kiristtoosa wozani de7ees.
