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.
Panahidili kwa muenga bhakaka ni bhadada bhangu, nahidili lepi kwa malobhi gha ushawishi ni hekima kama nahubiriri kueli yafihiki kuhusu K'yara.
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.
Naamwili kutokumanya kyokela panayele miongoni mwa yhomo isipokuwa Yesu kristu, ni bhebhe wausulubibhu.
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.
Na nayele muenga mu udhaifu, ni katika bhuoga, ni mu kutetemeka sana.
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].
Ni ujumbe wa nene ni kuhubiri kwa nene kwayelepi mu maneno gha ushawishi ni hekima. Badala yiaki, yhayele katika kundhihirisha roho ni nghofho,
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.
ili kwamba imani ya yhomo ikolo kuya mu hekima ya bhanadamu, bali katika nghofho ya K'yara.
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)
Henu tilongela hekima miongoni mwa bhanu bhazima, lakini si hekima ya dunia eye, au ya bhatawala bha nyakati ese, ambabho bhabhilota. (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)
Badala yiaki, tilongela hekima ya K'yara mu ukueli waufihiki, hekima yaifihiki ambayu K'yara achaguili kabla ya nyakati sa utukufu watete. (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)
Ayelelepi yeywoha yhola wa watawala bha nyakati ese yamanyili hekima eye, kama ngabhaimanyili mu nyakati sela, ngabhansulubishi lepi Bwana wa bhutukufu. (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.
Lakini kama ikiyandikibhu, “Mambo ambagho ghayele lepi lihu lighabhuene, ghayelepi mbolokoto ighabhuene, mawazo ghakufikiri lepi, mambo ambagho K'yara aghaandalili kwa ajili ya bhala bhamganili muene.”
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.
Agha ni mambo ambagho K'yara aghafunuili kwatete kupetela Roho, Kwa ndabha Roho yichunguza kila khenu hata mambo gha mugati ya K'yara.
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.
Kwa ndabha niani amanyili mawazo gha munu, isipokuwa roho ya munu mugati mwa muene? Hivyo kbhele ayelepi yamanyili mambo gha mugati mwa K'yara, isipokuwa Roho ya K'yara.
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.
Lakini tayopilili lepi roho ya dunia, lakini Roho ambajhe ihomela kwa K'yara, ili kwamba tibhuesyai kumanya kwa uhuru mambo ghatupelibhu ni K'yara.
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]).
Tijobha mambo agha kwa malobhi ambagho hekima ya muene nu yibhuesya lepi kufundusya, lakini ambayu Roho yikatufundisya. Roho yitafsiri malobhi gha kiroho kwa hekima ya kiroho
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].
Munu yayele lepi wa kiroho iyopa lepi mambo ambaghu ni gha Roho wa K'yara, kwa ndabha aghu ni upuuzi kwa muene. Ibhuesya lepi kughamanya kwa ndabha ghitambulibhwa kiroho.
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.
Kwa yhola wa kiroho ihukumu mambo ghoha. Lakini ihukumiwa ni bhangi.
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.
“Ni niani ibhuesya kughamanya mawazo gha Bwana, ambayi ibhuesya kumfundisya nuene?” Lakini tuyele ni mwazo ya Kristu.
