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.

۱ و من‌ای برادران، چون به نزد شما آمدم، با فضیلت کلام یا حکمت نیامدم چون شمارا به‌سر خدا اعلام می‌نمودم.

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.

۲ زیرا عزیمت نکردم که چیزی در میان شما دانسته باشم جزعیسی مسیح و او را مصلوب.

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.

۳ و من در ضعف وترس و لرزش بسیار نزد شما شدم،

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].

۴ و کلام ووعظ من به سخنان مقنع حکمت نبود، بلکه به برهان روح و قوت،

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.

۵ تا ایمان شما در حکمت انسان نباشد بلکه در قوت خدا.

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)

۶ لکن حکمتی بیان می‌کنیم نزد کاملین، اماحکمتی که از این عالم نیست و نه از روسای این عالم که زایل می‌گردند. (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)

۷ بلکه حکمت خدا را درسری بیان می‌کنیم، یعنی آن حکمت مخفی را که خدا پیش از دهرها برای جلال ما مقدر فرمود، (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)

۸ که احدی از روسای این عالم آن را ندانست زیرا اگر می‌دانستند خداوند جلال را مصلوب نمی کردند. (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.

۹ بلکه چنانکه مکتوب است: «چیزهایی را که چشمی ندید و گوشی نشنید و به‌خاطر انسانی خطور نکرد، یعنی آنچه خدا برای دوستداران خود مهیا کرده است.»

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.

۱۰ اما خدا آنهارا به روح خود بر ما کشف نموده است، زیرا که روح همه‌چیز حتی عمقهای خدا را نیز تفحص می‌کند.

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.

۱۱ زیرا کیست از مردمان که امور انسان رابداند جز روح انسان که در وی می‌باشد. همچنین نیز امور خدا را هیچ‌کس ندانسته است، جز روح خدا.

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.

۱۲ لیکن ما روح جهان را نیافته‌ایم، بلکه آن روح که از خداست تا آنچه خدا به ما عطا فرموده است بدانیم.

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]).

۱۳ که آنها را نیز بیان می‌کنیم نه به سخنان آموخته شده از حکمت انسان، بلکه به آنچه روح‌القدس می‌آموزد و روحانیها را باروحانیها جمع می‌نماییم.

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].

۱۴ اما انسان نفسانی‌امور روح خدا را نمی پذیرد زیرا که نزد او جهالت است و آنها را نمی تواند فهمید زیرا حکم آنها ازروح می‌شود.

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.

۱۵ لکن شخص روحانی در همه‌چیز حکم می‌کند و کسی را در او حکم نیست.

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.

۱۶ «زیرا کیست که فکر خداوند را دانسته باشد تااو را تعلیم دهد؟» لکن ما فکر مسیح را داریم.
