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.
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 For I determined not to know anything amongst you except Yeshua the Messiah and him crucified.
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 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
Mwen vin kanpe tou fèb devan nou. Lè sa a, mwen t'ap tranble nan tout kò m' sitèlman mwen te pè.
4 My speech and my proclaiming were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
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 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Konsa, konfyans nou gen nan Bondye a pa chita sou bon konprann lèzòm, men sou pouvwa Bondye.
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)
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 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)
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 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)
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 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.”
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 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
Okontrè, moun ki gen Lespri Bondye a nan kè l', li kapab jije tout bagay. Men li menm, pesonn pa ka jije li.
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Messiah’s mind.
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.
