١ كورنثوس 2

١ 1 وَأَنَا لَمَّا أَتَيْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، أَتَيْتُ لَيْسَ بِسُمُوِّ ٱلْكَلَامِ أَوِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ مُنَادِيًا لَكُمْ بِشَهَادَةِ ٱللهِ،

AND I, when I came to you, brethren, came not with superior excellence of discourse or wisdom, preaching unto you the gospel of God.

٢ 2 لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَعْزِمْ أَنْ أَعْرِفَ شَيْئًا بَيْنَكُمْ إلَّا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ وَإِيَّاهُ مَصْلُوبًا.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.

٣ 3 وَأَنَا كُنْتُ عِنْدَكُمْ فِي ضَعْفٍ، وَخَوْفٍ، وَرِعْدَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

And in weakness, and in fear, and in much timidity, was I among you.

٤ 4 وَكَلَامِي وَكِرَازَتِي لَمْ يَكُونَا بِكَلَامِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِيَّةِ ٱلْمُقْنِعِ، بَلْ بِبُرْهَانِ ٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلْقُوَّةِ،

And my conversation and my preaching was not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with demonstration of the Spirit, and of power:

٥ 5 لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ إِيمَانُكُمْ بِحِكْمَةِ ٱلنَّاسِ بَلْ بِقُوَّةِ ٱللهِ.

that your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

٦ 6 لَكِنَّنَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِحِكْمَةٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْكَامِلِينَ، وَلَكِنْ بِحِكْمَةٍ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، وَلَا مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْطَلُونَ. (aiōn g165)

But we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are destroying themselves: (aiōn g165)

٧ 7 بَلْ نَتَكَلَّمُ بِحِكْمَةِ ٱللهِ فِي سِرٍّ: ٱلْحِكْمَةِ ٱلْمَكْتُومَةِ، ٱلَّتِي سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَعَيَّنَهَا قَبْلَ ٱلدُّهُورِ لِمَجْدِنَا، (aiōn g165)

but we speak the wisdom of God, which had been hid in mystery, which God predestined before the worlds were, for our glory: (aiōn g165)

٨ 8 ٱلَّتِي لَمْ يَعْلَمْهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، لِأَنْ لَوْ عَرَفُوا لَمَا صَلَبُوا رَبَّ ٱلْمَجْدِ. (aiōn g165)

which none of the rulers of this world have known: for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

٩ 9 بَلْ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَا لَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ، وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ أُذُنٌ، وَلَمْ يَخْطُرْ عَلَى بَالِ إِنْسَانٍ: مَا أَعَدَّهُ ٱللهُ لِلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ».

But, as it is written, “The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and that have not entered into the heart of man, these hath God prepared for those who love him.”

١٠ 10 فَأَعْلَنَهُ ٱللهُ لَنَا نَحْنُ بِرُوحِهِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ يَفْحَصُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أَعْمَاقَ ٱللهِ.

But to us hath God revealed them by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth out all things, even the depths of God.

١١ 11 لِأَنْ مَنْ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَعْرِفُ أُمُورَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا رُوحُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ؟ هَكَذَا أَيْضًا أُمُورُ ٱللهِ لَا يَعْرِفُهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا رُوحُ ٱللهِ.

For who among men knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? so also the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

١٢ 12 وَنَحْنُ لَمْ نَأْخُذْ رُوحَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، بَلِ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱللهِ، لِنَعْرِفَ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ ٱلْمَوْهُوبَةَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱللهِ،

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

١٣ 13 ٱلَّتِي نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا أَيْضًا، لَا بِأَقْوَالٍ تُعَلِّمُهَا حِكْمَةٌ إِنْسَانِيَّةٌ، بَلْ بِمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ، قَارِنِينَ ٱلرُّوحِيَّاتِ بِٱلرُّوحِيَّاتِ.

Which things also we speak, not in discourses framed by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit of God; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلطَّبِيعِيَّ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَا لِرُوحِ ٱللهِ لِأَنَّهُ عِنْدَهُ جَهَالَةٌ، وَلَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَعْرِفَهُ لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يُحْكَمُ فِيهِ رُوحِيًّا.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are folly to him: and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

١٥ 15 وَأَمَّا ٱلرُّوحِيُّ فَيَحْكُمُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَهُوَ لَايُحْكَمُ فِيهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ.

But the spiritual man discerneth indeed all things, though himself is discernible by no man.

١٦ 16 «لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ عَرَفَ فِكْرَ ٱلرَّبِّ فَيُعَلِّمَهُ؟». وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَلَنَا فِكْرُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? who will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
