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.

¹When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence 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, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

³Bula-ku ria dohe-ni, lente-a, pai' moridi' -a me'eka'.

³I was with you in weakness, 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.

⁴My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human 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 wouldn’t 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 those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

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, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for 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 has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t 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 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.” Isaiah 64:4

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 to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, 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 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.

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 by 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 teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

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 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.

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 who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

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."

¹⁶“For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?” Isaiah 40:13 But we have Christ’s mind.
