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.
Ichil-inaosa, eina nakhoigi nanakta Tengban Mapugi athuppa achumba adu sandokpa lakkhiba matam aduda eina thak wangba wangang amadi mioibagi lousing sijinnakhide.
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.
Maramdi eina nakhoiga leiminnaringei matam aduda eina Jisu Christta amasung mahakpu cross-ta hatkhiba adukhaktagi maramda nattana atei kari amata ngangdanaba pukningda lepkhi.
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.
Maram aduna eina nakhoiga leiminnaringeida sonna, kina amadi tanik tanikna leirammi.
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].
Aduga eigi tambiba amadi pao sandokpa adu mioibagi lousinggi oiba heisingba waheina nattaduna Tengban Mapugi Thawaigi panggalna madu achumbani haiba utpibana oikhi.
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.
Masi nakhoigi thajaba adu mioibagi lousingda oidaduna Tengban Mapugi panggalda oinabani.
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)
Adumakpu thawaida mapungpharaba makhoising aduda eina lousinggi wa ngangngi. Adubu madu taibangpan asigi lousing natte aduga aremba oiragadaba, taibangpan asida pallibasing adugi lousingsu natte. (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)
Adubu eikhoina ngangthokliba lousing asidi Tengban Mapuna mioibasingdagi lottuna thambiramba adubu taibangpan leisemdringei mamangdagi eikhoigi matik mangalgidamak hanna langduna thambiramlaba Tengban Mapugi athuppa lousing aduni. (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)
Taibangpan asigi leingakpa kananasu lousing asibu khangkhide. Karigumba makhoina masibu khanglamlabadi makhoina matik mangalgi Ibungobu cross-ta hatlamloidabani. (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.
Adum oinamak, masi Mapugi puyada ikhiba asimakni, Kananasu keidounungda ukhidaba amadi takhidaba, Kananasu thokkani haina keidounungda khankhidaba pumnamaksing adu, Mahakpu nungsijabasing adugidamak Tengban Mapuna thourangbikhre.
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.
Adubu Tengban Mapuna masibu mahakki Thawaigi mapanna eikhoida phongdokpire. Maramdi Thawai aduna pumnamaksing adu haibadi Tengban Mapugi aruba athuppa adu phaoba mahakna thidok-i.
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.
Mi amagi wakhalbu masamakki nungda leiriba thawai aduna nattana mi kanana khangba ngambage? Matou adugumna Tengban Mapugi Thawai adu khak nattana kananasu Tengban Mapugi wakhal adu khangde.
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.
Eikhoina taibangpan asigi thawai adubu phangjaba natte adubu Tengban Mapuna eikhoida lemna pinabikhraba pumnamaksing adubu eikhoina khangjanaba Tengban Mapuna thabirakpa Thawai adubu eikhoina phangjabani.
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]).
Aduna eikhoina ngangba matamda mioibagi lousingna tambiba waheina ngangde, adubu Thawai aduna tambiba waheina, thawaigi oiba hiramsing adubu Thawai adu leiba makhoising aduda sandokna takpibada eikhoina ngang-i.
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].
Thawai adu leitaba mi aduna Tengban Mapugi Thawai adudagi lakpa adu lousinba ngamde. Mahakna hiramsing adubu apangba oina lou-i aduga madubu khangbasu ngamde maramdi makhoi adu Thawaigi mapan khaktana taseng-tasengna khangba ngammi.
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.
Thawai adu leiba mahak aduna hiram pumnamak chang yengba ngammi, adubu mahakpudi kananasu chang yengba ngamde.
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.
Masi Mapugi Puyada haikhibagumbani, “Kanana MAPU IBUNGO-gi wakhalbu khangbage? Kanana mangonda paotak piba ngambage?” Adubu eikhoidadi Christtagi pukning adu lei.
