1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
hE bhrAtarO yuSmatsamIpE mamAgamanakAlE'haM vaktRtAyA vidyAyA vA naipuNyEnEzvarasya sAkSyaM pracAritavAn tannahi;
2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
yatO yIzukhrISTaM tasya kruzE hatatvanjca vinA nAnyat kimapi yuSmanmadhyE jnjApayituM vihitaM buddhavAn|
3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
aparanjcAtIva daurbbalyabhItikampayuktO yuSmAbhiH sArddhamAsaM|
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
aparaM yuSmAkaM vizvAsO yat mAnuSikajnjAnasya phalaM na bhavEt kintvIzvarIyazaktEH phalaM bhavEt,
5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 We 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. (aiōn g165)
vayaM jnjAnaM bhASAmahE tacca siddhalOkai rjnjAnamiva manyatE, tadihalOkasya jnjAnaM nahi, ihalOkasya nazvarANAm adhipatInAM vA jnjAnaM nahi; (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, (aiōn g165)
kintu kAlAvasthAyAH pUrvvasmAd yat jnjAnam asmAkaM vibhavArtham IzvarENa nizcitya pracchannaM tannigUPham IzvarIyajnjAnaM prabhASAmahE| (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
ihalOkasyAdhipatInAM kEnApi tat jnjAnaM na labdhaM, labdhE sati tE prabhAvaviziSTaM prabhuM kruzE nAhaniSyan| (aiōn g165)
9 But 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.”
tadvallikhitamAstE, nEtrENa kkApi nO dRSTaM karNEnApi ca na zrutaM| manOmadhyE tu kasyApi na praviSTaM kadApi yat|IzvarE prIyamANAnAM kRtE tat tEna sanjcitaM|
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
aparamIzvaraH svAtmanA tadasmAkaM sAkSAt prAkAzayat; yata AtmA sarvvamEvAnusandhattE tEna cEzvarasya marmmatattvamapi budhyatE|
11 For 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.
manujasyAntaHsthamAtmAnaM vinA kEna manujEna tasya manujasya tattvaM budhyatE? tadvadIzvarasyAtmAnaM vinA kEnApIzvarasya tattvaM na budhyatE|
12 But 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.
vayanjcEhalOkasyAtmAnaM labdhavantastannahi kintvIzvarasyaivAtmAnaM labdhavantaH, tatO hEtOrIzvarENa svaprasAdAd asmabhyaM yad yad dattaM tatsarvvam asmAbhi rjnjAtuM zakyatE|
13 We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
taccAsmAbhi rmAnuSikajnjAnasya vAkyAni zikSitvA kathyata iti nahi kintvAtmatO vAkyAni zikSitvAtmikai rvAkyairAtmikaM bhAvaM prakAzayadbhiH kathyatE|
14 Now 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.
prANI manuSya IzvarIyAtmanaH zikSAM na gRhlAti yata AtmikavicArENa sA vicAryyEti hEtOH sa tAM pralApamiva manyatE bOddhunjca na zaknOti|
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
AtmikO mAnavaH sarvvANi vicArayati kintu svayaM kEnApi na vicAryyatE|
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
yata Izvarasya manO jnjAtvA tamupadESTuM kaH zaknOti? kintu khrISTasya manO'smAbhi rlabdhaM|
