1Pea ko au, ʻe kāinga, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu atu ʻi he mālie ʻoe lea, pe ʻi he poto, ke fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻOtua.
1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
2He naʻe maʻu hoku loto, ʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo hono tutuki ki he ʻakau.
2For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3Pea naʻaku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he vaivai, mo e manavahē, pea ʻi he tetetete lahi.
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4Pea ko ʻeku lea mo ʻeku malanga, naʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi lea fakaoloolo ʻoe poto ʻoe tangata, kae ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻoe Laumālie mo e mālohi:
4And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
5Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tuʻu ʻi he poto ʻoe tangata hoʻomou tui, ka ʻi he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua.
5That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
6Ka ʻoku mau lea ʻaki ʻae poto ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku haohaoa: ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e poto ʻoe māmani, pe ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe māmani, ʻaia ʻe aʻu ʻo ngata:
6Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought;
7Ka ʻoku mau lea ʻaki ʻae poto lilo ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngāue fufū, ʻaia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani, ko hotau leleiʻanga:
7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:
8ʻAia naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ha taha ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe māmani: he ka nenau ʻilo ia, pehē, ʻe ʻikai te nau tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻae ʻEiki lāngilangi.
8Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
9Kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “ʻOku teʻeki ai mamata ʻe ha mata, pe fanongo ʻe ha telinga, Pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hū ki he loto ʻo ha tangata, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻaia ʻoku teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia.”
9But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
10Ka kuo fakahā ia ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ʻaki hono Laumālie: he ʻoku hakule ʻe he Laumālie ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi meʻa loloto ʻi he ʻOtua.
10But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11He ko hai ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae tangata, ka ko e laumālie pe ʻoe tangata ʻoku ʻiate ia? Pea ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, ka ko e Laumālie pe ʻoe ʻOtua.
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
12Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ko e laumālie ʻo māmani kuo tau maʻu, ka ko e laumālie ʻoku mei he ʻOtua; koeʻuhi ke tau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo foaki mataʻataʻatā pe kiate kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua.
12Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
13ʻAe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mau lea ki ai, kae ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻoku ako mai ʻe he poto ʻoe tangata, ka ko ia ʻoku ako ʻaki ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; ʻo fakamatala ʻae meʻa fakalaumālie ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakalaumālie.
13Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14Ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe he tangata fakakakano ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua: he ko e vale ia kiate ia: pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa ʻilo ia, he ʻoku ʻilo fakalaumālie pe ia.
14But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
15Ka ko ia ʻoku fakalaumālie ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻiloʻi ia ʻe ha taha.
15But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
16“He ko hai ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ne akonakiʻi ia?” Ka ʻoku tau maʻu ʻae finangalo ʻo Kalaisi.
16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
