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.
Frè m' yo, lè mwen te al lakay nou, se pa t' avèk gwo diskou ni bèl pawòl mwen te fè nou konnen plan travay Bondye ki te kache a.
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.
Mwen te mete nan tèt mwen pou m' te bliye tout bagay sa yo. Yon sèl bagay mwen te konnen tout tan mwen te la ansanm ak nou an, se Jezikri, epi sèlman Jezikri yo te kloure sou kwa a.
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.
Mwen vin kanpe tou fèb devan nou. Lè sa a, mwen t'ap tranble nan tout kò m' sitèlman mwen te pè.
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].
Lè m' te fè nou konnen tout bagay sa yo, lè m' te anonse nou nouvèl la, se pa t' avèk bèl pawòl bon konprann lèzòm mwen t'ap chache pran tèt nou. Men, se te avèk pouvwa Lespri Bondye a ki t'ap bay tout prèv pou fè nou kwè.
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.
Konsa, konfyans nou gen nan Bondye a pa chita sou bon konprann lèzòm, men sou pouvwa Bondye.
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)
Malgre sa, se yon bon konprann m'ap fè moun ki byen devlope nan konfyans yo konnen. Men, se pa menm bon konprann ak bon konprann moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn, ni ak bon konprann pouvwa k'ap donminen lemonn, pouvwa ki la pou disparèt. (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)
Bon konprann m'ap anonse a, se bon konprann Bondye te sere a. Li te kache nan je moun. Men, depi anvan Bondye te kreye anyen, bon konprann sa a te nan plan l' pou l' te ka sèvi yon lwanj pou nou. (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)
Pa gen pouvwa nan lemonn ki te konnen bon konprann sa a. Si yo te konnen l', yo pa ta kloure Seyè ki merite lwanj la sou kwa a. (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.
Men, jan sa te ekri nan Liv la: Bagay pesonn pa t' janm wè, ni pa t' janm tande, bagay ankenn moun pa t' janm mete nan tèt yo, se sa Bondye te pare pou moun ki renmen li.
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.
Bondye voye Sentespri l' ki devwale sekrè travay sa a ban nou. Lespri Bondye sonde tout bagay, menm sa ki nan fon kè Bondye.
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.
Pran nenpòt moun: Kilès ki ka konnen sa ki nan kè li? Se lespri ki nan li a sèlman ki ka konn sa. Konsa tou, sèl Lespri Bondye konnen tout bagay ki nan Bondye.
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.
Se pa lespri k'ap travay nan moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan nou te resevwa. Lespri nou resevwa a, se Lespri Bondye te voye ban nou an pou n' te ka konnen tout favè Bondye te fè nou.
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]).
Si n'ap pale sou tout favè Bondye fè nou, se pa avèk pawòl nou jwenn nan bon konprann lèzòm, men se pito avèk pawòl Lespri Bondye ap moutre nou. Se konsa, nou fè moun ki gen Lespri Bondye nan kè yo konprann verite ki soti nan Lespri a.
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].
Yon moun ki pa gen Lespri Bondye a nan kè l' pa ka asepte verite ki soti nan Lespri Bondye a. Pou li, se pawòl moun fou yo ye. Li pa kapab konprann yo, paske se Lespri Bondye a ki pou ede l' egzaminen yo.
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.
Okontrè, moun ki gen Lespri Bondye a nan kè l', li kapab jije tout bagay. Men li menm, pesonn pa ka jije li.
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.
Jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Ki moun ki konnen sa k'ap pase nan tèt Mèt la? Ki moun ki pou moutre l' sa pou l' fè? Men nou menm, nou konnen sa ki nan lide Kris la.
