< १ कोरिन्थी 2 >

1 भाइहरू हो, गुप्‍तमा रहेका परमेश्‍वरका सत्यताहरूको घोषणा गर्न म तिमीहरूकहाँ आउँदा कुशल वक्‍ता र बुद्धिका साथमा आइनँ ।
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
2 तिमीहरूका माझमा हुँदा येशू ख्रीष्‍ट र क्रुसमा टाँगिनुभएका येशूलाई बाहेक मैले कुनै पनि कुरा नजान्‍ने निर्णय गरे ।
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
3 अनि कमजोरी, डर र धेरै कम्पसाथ म तिमीहरूसित थिएँ ।
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
4 र मेरा सन्देश र घोषणा ज्ञानको आकर्षक वचनहरूमा थिएनन् । बरु, ती पवित्र आत्मा र शक्‍तिको प्रदर्शनमा थिए ।
My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 तिमीहरूको विश्‍वास मानिसहरूको बुद्धिमा होइन, तर परमेश्‍वरको शक्‍तिमा भएको होस् ।
that your faith would not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 अब, परिपक्‍वहरूका बिचमा हामी बुद्धिका कुरा गर्दछौँ, तर यस संसारका वा यस युगका शासकहरूको बुद्धि होइन जो बितेर जाँदै छन् । (aiōn g165)
We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this age (aiōn g165) nor of the rulers of this age (aiōn g165) who are coming to nothing.
7 बरु, लुकाइएका सत्यतामा हामी परमेश्‍वरको बुद्धिको प्रचार गर्छौं, लुकेको बुद्धि जो परमेश्‍वरले हाम्रो महिमाको निम्ति युगको अगिबाटै नियुक्‍त गर्नुभयो । (aiōn g165)
But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the ages (aiōn g165) for our glory,
8 यस युगका कुनै पनि शासकहरूले यो ज्ञानलाई जानेनन्, तर तिनीहरूले त्यस समयमा यो कुरा बुझेका भए, तिनीहरूले महिमाको प्रभुलाई क्रुसमा टाँग्‍ने थिएनन् । (aiōn g165)
which none of the rulers of this age (aiōn g165) has known. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 तर यसो लेखिएको छ, “आँखाले नदेखेका, कानले नसुनेका, मनले विचारै नगरेका कुराहरू उहाँलाई प्रेम गर्नेहरूका निम्ति परमेश्‍वरले तयार पार्नुभएको छ ।”
But as it is written, “Things which an eye did not see, and an ear did not hear, which did not enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”
10 परमेश्‍वरले पवित्र आत्माद्वारा हामीलाई यी कुराहरू प्रकट गर्नुभएको छ । किनकि आत्माले हरेक कुराको खोजी गर्नुहुन्छ, उहाँले परमेश्‍वरका गहिरा कुराहरूको पनि खोजी गर्नुहुन्छ ।
But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 मानिसमा भएको आत्माबाहेक कसले मानिसका विचारहरू बुझ्‍न सक्छ? यसरी नै, परमेश्‍वरका आत्माबाहेक कसैले पनि परमेश्‍वरका गहिरा कुराहरू बुझ्दैन ।
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.
12 तर हामीले संसारको आत्मा पाएका छैनौँ, तर परमेश्‍वरका आत्मा पाएका छौँ, ताकि परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई सित्तैँमा दिनुभएका कुराहरू हामीले जान्‍न सकौँ ।
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.
13 हामी यी कुराहरू मानिसको बुद्धिले सिकाउन नसक्‍ने वचनहरूमा बोल्छौँ, तर आत्माले हामीलाई सिकाउनुहुन्छ । आत्माले आत्मिक वचनहरूलाई आत्मिक बुद्धिले प्रकाश पार्नुहुन्छ ।
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.
14 परमेश्‍वरका आत्माका कुराहरू अनात्मिक व्यक्‍तिले ग्रहण गर्दैन, किनकि तिनीहरू त्यसका निम्ति मूर्खता हुन्छन् । उसले तिनीहरूलाई बुझ्‍न सक्दैन किनभने तिनीहरूलाई आत्मिक रूपले जाँच्‍न सकिन्छ ।
Now the natural man does not receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 आत्मिक व्यक्‍तिले सबै कुराहरू जाँच गर्दछ, तर ऊचाहिँ अरूद्वारा जाँचिदैन ।
But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
16 किनाकि “कसले परमेश्‍वरको मनलाई जान्दछ? र कसले उहाँलाई अर्ती दिन सक्छ?” तर हामीसँग ख्रीष्‍टको मन छ ।
“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
