Men Korint I 2

1 RI ai kan, ni ai pwara wong komail er, kaidin ni kadek lokaia de lolekong en aramas, me i padaki ong komail er kadede en Kot.

I, therefore, brethren, when I came unto you, came, not with excellency of discourse or wisdom, declaring unto you the mystery of God;

2 Pwe i sota wia kin ia, en asa meakot nan pung omail, Iesus Kristus eta o a kalopuela.

For I had not determined to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, —and, him, as one who had been crucified!

3 O ngai mimi re omail ni ai luet, o masak, o rerer toto.

I, therefore in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, came to be with you,

4 O ai kasoi o ai padak kaidin ni kadek lokaia en lolekong, a ni kadede en Ngen o manaman.

And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power:

5 Pwe omail poson de pasoneki lolekong en aramas akan, a manaman en Kot.

In order that, your faith, might not be in men’s wisdom, but in God’s power.

6 Ari so, me kit kin padapadaki me lolekong ren me unsok kan, a kaidin lolekong en sappa et, o pil kaidin en saupeidi kan en sappa et, me pan sarodi, (aiōn g165)

Wisdom, however, we do speak, among the full-grown, —wisdom, indeed, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are to come to nought; (aiōn g165)

7 A kit kin padaki duen erpit en Kot me rir, iei me so sansal, me Kot kotin kileledier ni en sappa saik mia, pwen kalinganada kitail, (aiōn g165)

But we speak, God’s, wisdom, in a sacred secret, that hidden [wisdom], which God marked out beforehand, before the ages, for our glory, — (aiōn g165)

8 Me sota saupeidi en sappa men asadar, pwe ma re asaer i, re sota pan kalopuela Kaun en lingan. (aiōn g165)

Which, none of the rulers of this age had come to know, for, had they known, not, in that case, the Lord of the glory, would they have crucified! (aiōn g165)

9 A duen a intingidier: Me sota mas eu udialer, o me sota salong eu rongadar, o me sota ko ong nan mongiong en aramas amen, iei me Kot kotin kaonop ong, me pok ong i.

But, even as it is written—The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and upon the heart of man have not come up, —whatsoever things God hath prepared for them that love him,

10 A Kot kotin kadiarok ong kitail ki Ngen e, pwe Ngen kin kotin rapaki meakaros, pil duen kupur en Kot.

Unto us, in fact, hath God revealed through the Spirit; for, the Spirit, into all things, maketh search, yea! the deep things of God.

11 Pwe is aramas, me kin asa duen lol en aramas akan, pwe ngen en aramas eta me mi re a? Iduen Kot, sota me asa meakan me udan Kot, pwe Ngen en Kot eta.

For who of men knoweth the things of a man, —save the spirit of the man that is in him? thus, even the things of God, hath no one come to know, save the Spirit of God.

12 A kaidin ngen en sappa, me kit aleer, a Ngen en Kot, pwe kit en asada meakan, me Kot kotiki ong kitail er.

But, as for us, —not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, —that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: —

13 I me kit pil kin padaki wei, kaidin ni lokaia o mangin pan lolekong en aramas, a ni masan akan, me Ngen kotin kaweweda, kareda dipisou ngenin akan.

Which we also speak—not in words taught of human wisdom, but in such as are taught of [the] Spirit, by spiritual words, spiritual things, explaining.

14 A aramas ip pwel sota kin ale meakot ren Ngen en Kot, pwe me mal kot ong i, pwe a sota kak ong, pwe mepukat kin kasauiada ren Ngen.

But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

15 A me ngenin kin kasauiada meakaros, ap sota amen me pan kak kasauiada i.

But, the man of the spirit, on the one hand, examineth all things, but, on the other, he himself, by no one, is examined.

16 Pwe is me asa duen kupur en Kaun o, de is me pan kak padaki ong i meakot? A Ngen en Kristus kotikot lol atail.

For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord, that shall instruct him? But, we, have, the mind of Christ.
