1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
Nindakaza kulindinywe, nobakwesu, tendakaza abunnone bwamulaka kana busongo awoo nindakompolola simpe lisisidwe ataala aLeza.
2 For I determined not to know anything amongst you except Yeshua the Messiah and him crucified.
Nkambo ndakasala kutaziba chintu awo nindakali andinywe kunze kwa Jesu Kkilisito, akugankaminwa kwakwe.
3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
Alimwi ndakali andinywe mukubula nguzu amukuyowa, amukukankama.
4 My speech and my proclaiming were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Alimwi mulayizyo wangu akukambawuka kwangu tekwakali amajwi akukombelezya chabusongo. Pesi, akali achitondezyo chamuuya anguzu,
5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
kuchitila kuti lusyomo lwenu talubi mubusongo bwabantu, pesi munguzu zyaLeza.
6 We speak wisdom, however, amongst those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing. (aiōn g165)
Lino twambula busongo mukati kabantu bazyikitide, pesi butali busongo bwanyika eeyi, kana bwendelezi bwalino, aboo bayobwinda. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, (aiōn g165)
Anukuti twambula abusongo bwaLeza musimpe lisisidwe, busongo busisidwe oobo Leza mbwakali wabikka kunembo lyamyaka yabulemu besu. (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Takwe naba omwe wabendelezi balino wakachimvwisisisya, nkambo anoli bakachimvwisissya, nikuli tebakamukankamina pe Mwami wabulemu. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”
Pesi mbuli mbukulembedwe, “Takwe lisyo lyabona, takwe kutwi kwamvwa, takwe moyo wamuntu waziyandula eezyo Leza nzyabambila aboo bamuyandula.”
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Pesi Leza wayibununa zintu eezi kulindiswe kwiindila muMuuya. Nkambo Muuya ulayandula zintu zyoonse, nikuba zintu zyaLeza zinikide.
11 For who amongst men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.
Nkambo ngwani uzi mizeezo yamuntu ado woMuuya wamuntu nuuli anguwe? Nkokuli alimwi, takwe muntu uzi zintu zyaLeza zinikide ado wo Muuya waLeza.
12 But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
Pesi tetwakatambula Muuya wanyika pesi Muuya ooyo uzwa kuli Leza.
13 We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
Twambule atala azintu eezi mumajwi akatayisigwa abusongo bwamuntu pesi aMuuya, kawupandulula zintu zyaMuuya kubantu baMuuya.
14 Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Muntu utakwe Muuya tazitambuli pe zintu zyaku Muuya waLeza, nkambo nzyabufubafuba kuli nguwe. Takonzyi pe kuzimvwisisisya nkambo ziselezegwa aMuuya.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
Ooyo ulimuMuuya ngukonzya kweela zintu zyoonse, psi takonzeki kweelwa azimwi.
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Messiah’s mind.
“Nkambo ngwani ulikonzya kuziba kuyeya kwaMwami chakuti unga ulamulayilila? Pesi ulijisi muzeezo waKkilisito.
