< ١ كورنثوس 2 >

وَأَنَا لَمَّا أَتَيْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، أَتَيْتُ لَيْسَ بِسُمُوِّ ٱلْكَلَامِ أَوِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ مُنَادِيًا لَكُمْ بِشَهَادَةِ ٱللهِ، ١ 1
And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim God’s great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy;
لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَعْزِمْ أَنْ أَعْرِفَ شَيْئًا بَيْنَكُمْ إلَّا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ وَإِيَّاهُ مَصْلُوبًا. ٢ 2
for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.
وَأَنَا كُنْتُ عِنْدَكُمْ فِي ضَعْفٍ، وَخَوْفٍ، وَرِعْدَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. ٣ 3
In weakness and fear and great trembling came I among you.
وَكَلَامِي وَكِرَازَتِي لَمْ يَكُونَا بِكَلَامِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِيَّةِ ٱلْمُقْنِعِ، بَلْ بِبُرْهَانِ ٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلْقُوَّةِ، ٤ 4
My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power;
لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ إِيمَانُكُمْ بِحِكْمَةِ ٱلنَّاسِ بَلْ بِقُوَّةِ ٱللهِ. ٥ 5
in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.
لَكِنَّنَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِحِكْمَةٍ بَيْنَ ٱلْكَامِلِينَ، وَلَكِنْ بِحِكْمَةٍ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، وَلَا مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْطَلُونَ. (aiōn g165) ٦ 6
Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought. (aiōn g165)
بَلْ نَتَكَلَّمُ بِحِكْمَةِ ٱللهِ فِي سِرٍّ: ٱلْحِكْمَةِ ٱلْمَكْتُومَةِ، ٱلَّتِي سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَعَيَّنَهَا قَبْلَ ٱلدُّهُورِ لِمَجْدِنَا، (aiōn g165) ٧ 7
No, it is God’s wisdom that I utter, that hidden wisdom which God had decreed before the world began, unto our glory. (aiōn g165)
ٱلَّتِي لَمْ يَعْلَمْهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، لِأَنْ لَوْ عَرَفُوا لَمَا صَلَبُوا رَبَّ ٱلْمَجْدِ. (aiōn g165) ٨ 8
None of the rulers of the present age understands it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. (aiōn g165)
بَلْ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَا لَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ، وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ أُذُنٌ، وَلَمْ يَخْطُرْ عَلَى بَالِ إِنْسَانٍ: مَا أَعَدَّهُ ٱللهُ لِلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ». ٩ 9
Nay, as it is written. Eye has not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither have entered into man’s heart The things which God has prepared For those who love him.
فَأَعْلَنَهُ ٱللهُ لَنَا نَحْنُ بِرُوحِهِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ يَفْحَصُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أَعْمَاقَ ٱللهِ. ١٠ 10
Yet God has unveiled them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit fathoms everything, even the abysmal depths of God.
لِأَنْ مَنْ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَعْرِفُ أُمُورَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا رُوحُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ؟ هَكَذَا أَيْضًا أُمُورُ ٱللهِ لَا يَعْرِفُهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا رُوحُ ٱللهِ. ١١ 11
For what man knows the depths of man except the man’s own inner Spirit? Even so, also, the Spirit of God knows the deeps profound of God.
وَنَحْنُ لَمْ نَأْخُذْ رُوحَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، بَلِ ٱلرُّوحَ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱللهِ، لِنَعْرِفَ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ ٱلْمَوْهُوبَةَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱللهِ، ١٢ 12
But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God.
ٱلَّتِي نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا أَيْضًا، لَا بِأَقْوَالٍ تُعَلِّمُهَا حِكْمَةٌ إِنْسَانِيَّةٌ، بَلْ بِمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ، قَارِنِينَ ٱلرُّوحِيَّاتِ بِٱلرُّوحِيَّاتِ. ١٣ 13
Of these high themes we speak in words not taught by human philosophy, but by the Spirit; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلطَّبِيعِيَّ لَا يَقْبَلُ مَا لِرُوحِ ٱللهِ لِأَنَّهُ عِنْدَهُ جَهَالَةٌ، وَلَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَعْرِفَهُ لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يُحْكَمُ فِيهِ رُوحِيًّا. ١٤ 14
The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of God’s Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned,
وَأَمَّا ٱلرُّوحِيُّ فَيَحْكُمُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَهُوَ لَايُحْكَمُ فِيهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ. ١٥ 15
But the spiritual man discerns everything, yet is himself discerned by no one.
«لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ عَرَفَ فِكْرَ ٱلرَّبِّ فَيُعَلِّمَهُ؟». وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَلَنَا فِكْرُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. ١٦ 16
For what man understands the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?
