1 Qorontos 2

1 Yaa obboloota, ani yeroon gara keessan dhufetti, afaan toluun yookaan ogummaa guddaadhaan dhuga baʼumsa waaʼee Waaqaa lallabaa hin dhufne.

And so, brothers, when I came to you, announcing to you the testimony of Christ, I did not bring exalted words or lofty wisdom.

2 Ani yeroon isin bira turetti Yesuus Kiristoos isa fannifame sana malee akka waan tokko illee hin beekne murteesseen tureetii.

For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 Ani dadhabbiin, sodaa fi hollannaa guddaadhaan gara keessan dhufe.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with much trembling.

4 Ergaan koo fi lallabni koo Hafuuraa fi humna argisiisuudhaan malee dubbii ogummaa fi sossobbii of keessaa qabuun hin turre;

And my words and preaching were not the persuasive words of human wisdom, but were a manifestation of the Spirit and of virtue,

5 kunis akka amantiin keessan humna Waaqaa irratti malee ogummaa namaa irratti hin hundeeffamneef.

so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the virtue of God.

6 Haa taʼuu malee nu warra bilchaatan gidduutti ogummaa dubbanna; garuu ogummaa addunyaa kanaa yookaan ogummaa bulchitoota addunyaa kanaa kanneen baduuf jiranii miti. (aiōn g165)

Now, we do speak wisdom among the perfect, yet truly, this is not the wisdom of this age, nor that of the leaders of this age, which shall be reduced to nothing. (aiōn g165)

7 Garuu nu ogummaa Waaqaa, ogummaa dhokfamee ture, isa Waaqni uumama addunyaatiin dura ulfina keenyaaf jedhee murteesse sanaa icciitiidhaan dubbanna. (aiōn g165)

Instead, we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery which has been hidden, which God predestined before this age for our glory, (aiōn g165)

8 Bulchitoota addunyaa kanaa keessaa tokko iyyuu ogummaa kana hin hubanne; isaan utuu hubatanii jiraatanii silaa Gooftaa ulfinaa hin fannisan tureetii. (aiōn g165)

something that none of the leaders of this world have known. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 Taʼu iyyuu akkuma, “Waan Waaqni warra isa jaallataniif qopheesse iji hin argine, gurri hin dhageenye, garaa namaattis hin yaadamne” jedhamee barreeffame sana,

But this is just as it has been written: “The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, what things God has prepared for those who love him.”

10 Waaqni garuu Hafuura isaatiin waan kana nutti mulʼiseera. Hafuurri wantoota hunda, wantoota Waaqaa kanneen gad fagoo taʼan illee ni qora.

But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

11 Hafuura isa keessa jiru malee yaada nama tokkoo eenyutu beeka? Akkasuma immoo Hafuura Waaqaa malee kan yaada Waaqaa beeku tokko iyyuu hin jiru.

And who can know the things that are of a man, except the spirit which is within that man? So also, no one knows the things which are of God, except the Spirit of God.

12 Nu akka waan Waaqni toluma nuu kenne hubannuuf Hafuura Waaqa irraa dhufe arganne malee hafuura addunyaa hin arganne.

But we have not received the spirit of this world, but the Spirit who is of God, so that we may understand the things that have been given to us by God.

13 Wanni nu dubbannus kana; nu dubbii Hafuurri nu barsiisuun malee dubbii ogummaan namaa barsiisuun hin dubbannu; dhugaa Hafuuraas dubbii Hafuuraatiin ibsina.

And we are also speaking of these things, not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, bringing spiritual things together with spiritual things.

14 Namni foonii wantoota Hafuura Waaqaa hin fudhatu; kun isaaf gowwummaadhaatii; wantoonni Hafuuraa waan Hafuuraan qoramaniif inni hubachuu hin dandaʼu.

But the animal nature of man does not perceive these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand it, because it must be examined spiritually.

15 Namni Hafuuraa waan hundumaa ni qora; ofii isaatii garuu eenyuun iyyuu hin qoramu.

But the spiritual nature of man judges all things, and he himself may be judged by no man.

16 “Akka isa barsiisuuf, eenyutu yaada garaa Gooftaa beeke?” Nu garuu yaada garaa Kiristoos qabna.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, so that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
