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.
O ry longo, ie nivotrake ama’ areo raho, le tsy an-dàn-tsaontsy, tsy an-kihitse ty nitaroñako i nietak’ aman’ Añaharey.
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.
Fa nifaharako te tsy hahafohiñe ndra inoñ’ inoñe ama’ areo ao naho tsy Iesoà Norizañey vaho ie pinèke.
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.
Nimokotse t’ie tama’ areo, nihembañe, vaho nisilofe’ ty nevenevetse.
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].
Le tsy an-tsaontsin-kihitse mahasintoñe i rehakoy naho i fitaroñakoy, fa ami’ty fampalangesañe i Arofoy naho añ-ozatse,
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.
soa tsy hioreñe ami’ty hakante’ ondaty ty fatokisa’ areo fa ami’ty faozaran’ Añahare.
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)
Toe mitaroñe hihitse amo àñoñeo zahay, fa tsy ty hihi’ ty sa toy, ndra ty a o mpifehe’ an-tsa toio, ie sindre miha-modo. (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)
Toe mitaroñe i hihin’ Añahare nakafitsey zahay, i hihitse naetake pak’ henaney, f’ie norizan’ Añahare taolo’ ty sa toy hañonjona’e antika, (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)
ie ninofi’ o mpifehe an-tsa toio, fa naho nifohi’ iareo, le tsy ho pinè’ iareo i Talèn’ engeñey. (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.
Fa hoe ty pinatetse: Fihaino tsy nahaisake, ravembia tsy nahajanjiñe, vaho tsy nizilike añ’ arofo’ondaty ze he’e hinalankan’ Añahare ho a’ o mikoko azeoo.
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.
F’ie nibentabentaren’ Añahare aman-tikañe añamy Arofo’ey, fa mitsoeke ze he’e i Arofoy, naho o raha miheotse aman’ Añahareo.
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.
Aa vaho ia am’ondatio ty mahafohiñe ze mitoloñe amy t’indaty ao naho tsy ty arofo am’indatiy? Manahake zay, tsy fohi’ ondaty ty faharofoanan’ Añahare naho tsy i Arofon’ Añaharey.
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.
Ie amy zay, tsy ty fañahi’ ty tane toy ty rinamben-tika, fa i Arofo boak’ aman’ Añaharey, soa te ho fohintika o raha natolon’ Añahare antika am-patariha’eo,
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]).
ie o taroñe’aio, tsy an-tsaontsy nanare’ ty hihi’ ondaty fa amo naò’ i Arofo Masiñeio, ie mampidodea o rahan’ Arofoo amo aman’ Arofoo.
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].
Toe tsy maharambe o rahan’ Arofon’ Añahareo ty fañereñerea’ ondatio, fa hagegeañe ama’e, tsy eo ty hahafohina’e, amy t’ie rendreke an’arofo.
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.
Mitsikaritse ze he’e ty aman’arofo, fe tsy leo ty ila’e tsikariteñe.
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.
Aa vaho: Ia ty mahafohiñe ty faharofoana’ Iehovà hañòke aze. Toe aman-tika ty fitsakorea’ i Norizañey.
