١ كورنثوس 2

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

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence of speech or wisdom as I proclaimed hidden truths about God.

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

For I decided to know nothing when I was among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

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

And my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom. Instead, they were with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

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

so that your faith might not be in the wisdom of humans, but in 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)

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this world, or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)

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

Instead, we speak God's wisdom in hidden truth, the hidden wisdom that God predestined before the ages for our glory. (aiōn g165)

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

None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had understood 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, “Things that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined, the things that God has prepared for those who love him.”

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

These are the things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things 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 knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of the person in him? So also, no one knows the deep things of God except the Spirit of God.

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

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might know the things freely given to us by God.

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

We speak about these things in words that man's wisdom cannot teach, but which the Spirit teaches us. The Spirit interprets spiritual words with spiritual wisdom.

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

The unspiritual person does not receive the things that belong to the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. He cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned.

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

The one who is spiritual judges all things, but he is not subject to the judgment of others.

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

“For who can know the mind of the Lord, that he can instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
