1Ompi' -ompi', karata-ku wengi hi ngata-ni mpoparata-kokoi kareba to ngkai Alata'ala, uma kupololitai-koi hante lolita to mo'olu ba ntuku' kapantea-ku moto.
1And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
2Apa' ria-mi rala nono-ku mpo'uli': hangkuja kahae-ku dohe-ni, uma-a mpololita napa-napa to ntani' -na, muntu' mpololita-a Yesus Kahi'a-na Magau' Topetolo' to mate raparika'.
2For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3Bula-ku ria dohe-ni, lente-a, pai' moridi' -a me'eka'.
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4Kareba to kuparata-kokoi, uma kuparata hante kapantea-ku moto, uma kuhinai-koi hante lolita-ku. Ngkai baraka' Inoha' Tomoroli' -hanale pai' alaa-na ni'inca-mi kamakono-na kareba to kukeni-e.
4And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5Jadi', mepangala' -koi hi kareba to kukeni, uma ngkai kapantea manusia'. Mepangala' -koi muntu' ngkai baraka' Alata'ala.
5that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6Nau' hewa toe, ane mololita-kai hi tauna to monoto-mi pepangala' -ra hi Kristus, ria mpu'u kapantea-kai. Aga kapantea-kai toe, bela hewa kapantea tauna to dada'a hi dunia' toi, ba hewa kapantea pangkeni dunia' toi, apa' pangkeni dunia' toi bate moronto mpai'.
6We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:
7To kiparata-le, kapantea to ngkai Alata'ala, kiparata patuju-na Alata'ala bona mpowai' -ta kabohea tuwu' hi eo mpeno. Patuju-na toe, ko'ia ra'incai manusia' ngkai owi. Tapi' kako'ia-na dunia' rapajadi', Alata'ala mpakatantu ami' -mi kanawai' -ta mpai' kabohea tuwu' toe.
7but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:
8Uma ria haduaa pangkeni dunia' toi to mpo'inca patuju-na Alata'ala toe. Apa' ane ke ra'inca-mi, ke uma-ra mpoparika' Pue' -ta to uma mowo kabohe tuwu' -na.
8which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:
9Tapi' hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli': Hi tauna to mpoka'ahi' Alata'ala, naporodo ami' -miraka to lompe' lia, to ko'ia rahiloi ba ra'epe manusia', pai' ko'ia rarata nono manusia'."
9but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.
10Kita' toi, ta'inca-mi patuju-na Alata'ala toe-e, apa' Alata'ala mpopo'incai-ta hante baraka' Inoha' Tomoroli'. Apa' uma ria to tewunii' hi Inoha' Tomoroli', napewulihi' butu nyala-na rata-rata hi patuju-na Alata'ala to ko'ia ra'incai manusia'.
10But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11Apa' to mpo'inca ihi' nono tauna, hi'a moto-wadi. Wae wo'o, to mpo'inca ihi' nono Alata'ala, Inoha' Alata'ala-wadi.
11For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God.
12Pai' kita', uma-ta mporata noto to ngkai dunia' toi. Mporata-ta Noto to ngkai Alata'ala, bona ta'inca hawe'ea to nawai' -taka Alata'ala ngkai kabula rala-na.
12But 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 of God.
13Jadi', ane mpoparata-kai Kareba Lompe', kiparata uma hante kapantea-kai mololita. Kiparata hante lolita to ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', kipakanoto tudui' ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli' hi tauna to mporata-mi Inoha' Tomoroli'.
13Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual [words].
14Tauna to uma mpo'incai Alata'ala, uma-ra mpopangala' tudui' to ngkai Inoha' Alata'ala. Ra'uli': "Lolita tauna to wojo-hawo to hewa tetu." Uma ami' raratai nono tudui' to ngkai Inoha' Alata'ala, apa' tudui' to hewa toe ma'ala mesua' hi rala nono-ta ane Inoha' Tomoroli' mponotohi-ta.
14Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.
15Kita' to mporata-mi Inoha' Tomoroli', monoto-mi nono-ta mpetonoi butu nyala-na kalompe' -na ba ka'uma-na. Tapi' tauna to uma mpo'incai Alata'ala, uma monoto nono-ra mpetonoi napa to hi rala nono-ta.
15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.
16Apa' wae-mi to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli': Uma hema to mpo'inca pekiri-na Pue', uma hema to ma'ala mpotudui' -i."
16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
