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.
Pour moi, mes frères, lorsque je suis venu vers vous, je ne suis point venu vous annoncer le témoignage du Christ dans la sublimité du discours et de la sagesse.
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.
Car je n’ai pas jugé que je susse parmi vous autre chose que Jésus-Christ, et Jésus-Christ crucifié.
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.
Aussi, est-ce dans un état de faiblesse, de crainte, et d’un grand tremblement, que j’ai été parmi vous;
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].
Et mon discours et ma prédication ont été, non dans les paroles persuasives de la sagesse humaine, mais dans la manifestation de l’esprit et de la vertu;
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.
Afin que votre foi ne soit pas établie sur la sagesse des hommes, mais sur la vertu de Dieu.
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)
Cependant nous prêchons la sagesse parmi les parfaits, non la sagesse de ce siècle, ni des princes de ce siècle, qui périssent; (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)
Mais nous prêchons la sagesse de Dieu dans le mystère, sagesse qui a été cachée, que Dieu a prédestinée pendant les siècles pour notre gloire; (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)
Qu’aucun prince de ce siècle n’a connue; car s’ils l’avaient connue, jamais ils n’auraient crucifié le Seigneur de la gloire. (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.
Mais, comme il est écrit: Ce que l’œil n’a point vu, ce que l’oreille n’a point entendu, ce qui n’est point monté dans le cœur de l’homme, ce que Dieu a préparé à ceux qui l’aiment;
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.
C’est aussi ce que Dieu nous a révélé par son Esprit; car l’Esprit pénètre toutes choses, même les profondeurs de Dieu.
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.
Qui des hommes sait ce qui est dans l’homme, sinon l’esprit de l’homme qui est en lui? Ainsi, ce qui est en Dieu, personne ne le connaît, que l’Esprit de Dieu.
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.
Pour nous, nous n’avons point reçu l’esprit de ce monde, mais l’Esprit qui est de Dieu, afin que nous connaissions les dons qui nous ont été faits par Dieu,
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]).
Et que nous annonçons, non avec les doctes paroles de la sagesse humaine, mais selon la doctrine de l’Esprit, traitant spirituellement les choses spirituelles.
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].
L’homme animal ne perçoit pas ce qui est de l’Esprit de Dieu; c’est folie pour lui, et il ne le peut comprendre, parce que c’est par l’esprit qu’on doit en juger.
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.
Mais l’homme spirituel juge de toutes choses, et il n’est jugé de personne.
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.
Car qui a connu la pensée du Seigneur pour pouvoir l’instruire? mais nous, nous avons la pensée du Christ.
