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.
Când am venit la voi, fraților, n-am venit cu o vorbire sau cu înțelepciune, ca să vă vestesc mărturia lui Dumnezeu.
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.
Căci am hotărât să nu cunosc nimic între voi decât pe Isus Hristos și pe cel răstignit.
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.
Am fost cu voi în slăbiciune, în frică și în mult tremur.
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].
Discursul meu și propovăduirea mea nu erau în cuvinte convingătoare ale înțelepciunii omenești, ci în demonstrația Duhului și a puterii,
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.
pentru ca credința voastră să nu stea în înțelepciunea oamenilor, ci în puterea lui Dumnezeu.
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)
Noi însă vorbim cu înțelepciune printre cei maturi, dar nu cu înțelepciunea lumii acesteia și nici cu cea a conducătorilor lumii acesteia, care sunt pe cale de dispariție. (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)
Ci noi vorbim înțelepciunea lui Dumnezeu în taină, înțelepciunea care a fost ascunsă, pe care Dumnezeu a rânduit-o mai dinainte de lumi, pentru gloria noastră, (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)
și pe care nu a cunoscut-o niciunul dintre conducătorii acestei lumi. Căci, dacă ar fi știut-o, nu L-ar fi răstignit pe Domnul slavei. (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.
Dar, după cum este scris, “Lucruri pe care ochiul nu le-a văzut și urechea nu le-a auzit, care nu a intrat în inima omului, pe care Dumnezeu le-a pregătit pentru cei care îl iubesc.”
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.
Dar nouă, Dumnezeu ni le-a descoperit prin Duhul Sfânt. Căci Duhul cercetează toate lucrurile, da, chiar și lucrurile adânci ale lui Dumnezeu.
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.
Căci cine dintre oameni cunoaște lucrurile unui om, dacă nu spiritul omului care este în el? Tot așa, nimeni nu cunoaște lucrurile lui Dumnezeu, în afară de Duhul lui Dumnezeu.
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.
Dar noi nu am primit spiritul lumii, ci Duhul care vine de la Dumnezeu, ca să cunoaștem lucrurile care ne-au fost date de Dumnezeu în mod gratuit.
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]).
Și noi vorbim aceste lucruri, nu în cuvintele pe care le învață înțelepciunea omenească, ci în cele pe care le învață Duhul Sfânt, comparând lucrurile spirituale cu cele spirituale.
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].
Or, omul firesc nu primește lucrurile Duhului lui Dumnezeu, pentru că sunt o nebunie pentru el; și nu le poate cunoaște, pentru că ele sunt percepute spiritual.
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.
Dar cel spiritual discerne toate lucrurile, și el însuși nu trebuie să fie judecat de nimeni.
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.
“Căci cine a cunoscut gândul Domnului, ca să îl instruiască?” Dar noi avem mintea lui Hristos.
