¹When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

¹Eta ni ethorri içan naicenean çuetara, anayeác, eznaiz ethorri eloquentiazco edo sapientiazco excellentiarequin, Iaincoaren testimoniagea denuntiatzen nerauçuela.

²For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

²Ecen eztut deliberatu vkan deus çuen artean iaquitera, Iesus Christ baicen, hura-ere crucificatua.

³I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

³Eta ni infirmitaterequin eta beldurrequin eta ikara halldirequin içan naiz çuec baithan.

⁴My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

⁴Eta ene minçatzea eta ene predicationea ezta içan sapientia humanoren hitz gogagarritan: baina spirituren eta verthuteren eracustetan.

⁵that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

⁵Çuen fedea eztençát guiçonén sapientiatan, baina Iaincoaren potentiatan.

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.

⁶Eta sapientiá denuntiatzen dugu perfectoén artean: eta sapientiá diot ez mundu hunena, ezeta mundu hunetaco prince deseguinen diradenena:

⁷But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

⁷Baina denuntiatzen dugu Iaincoaren sapientia mysteriotan dena, diot estalia, Iaincoac ia dembora gucién aitzinetic gure gloriatan determinatu vkan çuena:

⁸which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.

⁸Cein mundu hunetaco princietaric batec-ere ezpaitu eçagutu vkan: ecen baldin eçagutu vkan baluté, gloriazco Iauna etzuqueten crucificatu.

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

⁹Baina predicatzen ditugu, scribatua den beçala, Beguic ikussi eztituen, eta beharric ençun eztituen gauçác, eta guiçonén bihotzetara igan içan eztiradenac, cein Iaincoac hari on daritzoteney appaindu baitrauzté.

¹⁰But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

¹⁰Baina guri Iaincoac reuelatu vkan drauzquigu bere Spirituaz: ecen Spirituac gauça guciac penetratzen ditu, báy Iaincoaren gauça barnác-ere.

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.

¹¹Ecen guiçonetaric ceinec daquizqui guiçonaren gauçác, guiçonaren spiritu hura baithan denac baicen? Halaber Iaincoaren gauçac-ere eztitu nehorc eçagutu vkan, Iaincoaren Spirituac baicen.

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.

¹²Bada guc eztugu munduaren spiritua recebitu vkan: baina Iaincoaganico Spiritua: Iaincoaz guri eman içan caizquigun gauçác eçagut ditzagunçát:

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.

¹³Cein denuntiatzen-ere baititugu, ez sapientia humanoac iracasten dituen hitzéz, baina Spiritu sainduac iracasten dituenéz, gauça spiritualac spiritualetara appropriatuz.

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.

¹⁴Baina guiçon naturalac eztitu comprehenditzen Iaincoaren Spirituaren gauçác: ecen erhogoa çaizquio, eta ecin adi ditzaque, ceren spiritualqui iugeatzen baitirade.

¹⁵But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

¹⁵Baina guiçon spiritualac iugeatzen ditu gauça guciac, eta bera ezta nehorçaz iugeatzen.

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

¹⁶Ecen norc eçagutu du Iaunaren intentionea, hura instrui deçan? baina guc Christen intentionea badugu.
