1 Corinthians 2
1 My fellow believers, when I came to you, I proclaimed to you the message that God had revealed to me. But I did not proclaim it using eloquent words that would make people think highly of me, nor did I argue in a way that unbelievers would think was very wise.
Bratři, když jsem vám hlásal poselství o Kristu, také jsem nepřišel s nějakými zvlášť výřečnými proslovy nebo kdovíjak učenými výklady.
2 I did that because I decided that I would speak only about Jesus Christ. Specifically, I told you [what he accomplished for us when] he was killed by being nailed {[when they] killed him by nailing him} to a cross.
Rozhodl jsem se totiž, že pokud budu u vás, nechci mluvit o ničem jiném než právě o Kristu, a to o Kristu ukřižovaném.
3 Furthermore, when I was with you, I felt that I was not adequate [to do what Christ wanted me to do]. I was afraid [that I would not be able to do it], and because of that I was trembling very much.
Často se mi třásl hlas, musel jsem překonávat slabost a všelijaké obavy. A jestli vás nakonec něco přesvědčilo, tak to nebyla moje učenost nebo výmluvnost, nýbrž moc Božího Ducha.
4 When I taught you and preached to you, I did not speak words that [unbelievers would consider] [IRO] wise in order to convince them that my message was true. Instead, [God’s] Spirit showed that it was true by [enabling me to] powerfully [perform miracles].
5 [I taught and preached that way] in order that you might believe [my message], not because you heard words that people [considered to be] [IRO] wise, but [because you recognized] God’s power.
A to je dobře, protože vaše víra nemá stát na lidské moudrosti, ale na moci Boží.
6 I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
Je pochopitelné, že pokročilejším křesťanům předkládáme i náročnější učení. Nejsou to ovšem poznatky přírodních nebo společenských věd, (aiōn g165)
7 Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
nýbrž pravdy pocházející z Boha, a proto bez Božího přispění zůstávají tajemné a skryté. Bůh už před věky připravil moudrý plán, jak nás převést do své nebeské slávy. (aiōn g165)
8 None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
Nikdo z těch, kdo vládnou světu, neměl o nich tušení. Jinak by byli nemohli Krista ukřižovat. (aiōn g165)
9 But [we believers need to remember these words that a prophet] wrote [in the Scriptures]: Things that no one has ever seen, things that no one ever heard, things that no one ever thought could happen, those are the things that God has prepared for those who love him.
My hlásáme, jak stojí i v Písmu: „Co lidské oko nikdy nevidělo ani žádné ucho neslyšelo, co člověka ani ve snu nenapadlo – to nabízí Bůh těm, kdo ho milují.“
10 God has caused his Spirit to reveal those things to us [(inc)] believers. His Spirit can do that because he knows thoroughly the meaning of all things. He even knows the things about God that are very difficult to understand.
Nám to Bůh odhalil prostřednictvím svého Ducha, kterému nic není skryto.
11 Only a person himself (OR, a person’s spirit) knows what he is thinking. Similarly, only God’s Spirit knows what God is thinking.
Jako nitro člověka je přístupné jen vlastnímu vědomí každého jedince, tak i Boží myšlení je známé jen Božímu Duchu, takže jenom s jeho pomocí můžeme poznat, co všechno nám Bůh daroval.
12 It was not the ideas that unbelievers teach that we accepted. Instead, it was the Spirit who came from God that we received, in order that we might know the things that God has freely done for us.
13 Those are the things that I tell you about. As I do that, I do not tell you things that someone [whom others thought] was [IRO] wise taught me. Instead, I tell you truths that [God’s] Spirit taught [me], and I explain those spiritual truths to people whose thinking is guided by God’s Spirit (OR, I teach spiritual [truths to] spiritual [people]).
Když o těchto věcech mluvíme, nejde nám o to, aby to vypadalo „rozumně“, ale nasloucháme prostě tomu, co nám „napovídá“Boží Duch, a jeho myšlenky tlumočíme slovy, která nám dává.
14 Those who are unbelievers reject the truths that [God’s] Spirit teaches us [(inc)], because they [consider those truths to be] foolish. They cannot understand them, because it is God’s Spirit who enables us to evaluate those truths correctly, [and those people do not have God’s Spirit].
Člověku vyzbrojenému jen vrozenými schopnostmi jsou ovšem pravdy Božího Ducha proti mysli. Zdají se mu hloupé a nepochopitelné, protože pochopit se dají jen s pomocí Ducha.
15 We who have God’s Spirit can judge correctly the [value of] all truths [that the Spirit reveals], but [unbelievers] cannot evaluate us correctly.
Kdo je však proniknut Božím Duchem, dovede ke všemu zaujmout jasný postoj a nemusí se ohlížet, co tomu řeknou lidé;
16 As [one of our prophets wrote: ] No human [RHQ] has known what the Lord is thinking. No human [RHQ] is able to instruct him. But we believers are able to think about things [MTY] in the way that Christ thinks about them.
vždyť nikdo z nich nestojí ve svém poznání nad Bohem. Naše myšlenky pak vycházejí ze stejného zdroje jako myšlenky Kristovy.
