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.

Kaj mi, fratoj, venante al vi, venis ne kun supereco de parolo aŭ de saĝeco, proklamante al vi la misteron de Dio.

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.

Ĉar mi decidis scii ĉe vi nenion, krom Jesuo Kristo kaj tiu krucumita.

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.

Kaj mi estis ĉe vi en malforteco kaj en timo kaj en multa tremado.

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].

Kaj mia parolo kaj mia prediko estis ne en allogaj paroloj de saĝeco, sed en elmontro de la Spirito kaj potenco,

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.

por ke via fido estu ne laŭ la saĝeco de homoj, sed laŭ la potenco de Dio.

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)

Tamen ni parolas saĝecon inter plenaĝuloj, sed saĝecon ne de ĉi tiu mondo, nek de la regantoj de ĉi tiu mondo, kiuj neniiĝas; (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)

sed ni parolas la saĝecon de Dio en mistero, la saĝecon kaŝitan, kiun Dio antaŭdestinis antaŭ la mondaĝoj por nia glorado; (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)

kaj kiun scias neniu el la regantoj de ĉi tiu mondo; ĉar se ili ĝin scius, ili ne krucumus la Sinjoron de gloro; (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.

sed kiel estas skribite: Tion, kion okulo ne vidis kaj orelo ne aŭdis, Kaj kio en la koron de homo ne eniris, Dio preparis por tiuj, kiuj Lin amas.

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.

Sed al ni Dio malkaŝis ilin per la Spirito; ĉar la Spirito esploras ĉion, eĉ la profundaĵojn de Dio.

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.

Ĉar kiu inter homoj scias la aferojn de iu homo, krom la spirito de la homo, kiu estas en li? tiel same la aferojn de Dio scias neniu, krom la Spirito de Dio.

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.

Sed ni ricevis ne la spiriton de la mondo, sed la spiriton, kiu estas de Dio; por ke ni sciu tion, al ni donacitan de Dio.

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]).

Pri kio ankaŭ ni parolas per vortoj, ne kiujn instruas homa saĝeco, sed kiujn instruas la Spirito; komparante spiritajn kun spiritaj.

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].

Sed la natura homo ne akceptas la aferojn de la Spirito de Dio; ĉar ili estas por li malsaĝeco; kaj li ne povas ilin scii, pro tio, ke ili estas juĝataj spirite.

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.

Sed la spirita homo juĝas ĉion, kaj li mem estas juĝata de neniu.

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.

Ĉar kiu sciis la menson de la Eternulo, ke li instruu Lin? Sed ni havas la menson de Kristo.
