< 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.
И аз пришед к вам, братие, приидох не по превосходному словеси или премудрости возвещая вам свидетелство Божие:
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.
не судих бо ведети что в вас, точию Иисуса Христа, и Сего распята:
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.
и аз в немощи и страсе и трепете мнозе бых в вас.
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].
И слово мое и проповедь моя не в препретелных человеческия премудрости словесех, но в явлении духа и силы,
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.
да вера ваша не в мудрости человечестей, но в силе Божией будет.
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)
Премудрость же глаголем в совершенных, премудрость же не века сего, ни князей века сего престающих, (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)
но глаголем премудрость Божию, в тайне сокровенную, юже предустави Бог прежде век в славу нашу, (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)
юже никтоже от князей века сего разуме: аще бо быша разумели, не быша Господа славы распяли. (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.
Но якоже есть писано: ихже око не виде, и ухо не слыша, и на сердце человеку не взыдоша, яже уготова Бог любящым Его.
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.
Нам же Бог открыл есть Духом Своим: Дух бо вся испытует, и глубины Божия.
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.
Кто бо весть от человек, яже в человеце, точию дух человека, живущий в нем? Такожде и Божия никтоже весть, точию Дух Божий.
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.
Мы же не духа мира сего прияхом, но Духа иже от Бога, да вемы яже от Бога дарованная нам,
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]).
яже и глаголем не в наученых человеческия премудрости словесех, но в наученых Духа Святаго, духовная духовными сразсуждающе.
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].
Душевен же человек не приемлет яже Духа Божия: юродство бо ему есть, и не может разумети, зане духовне востязуется.
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.
Духовный же востязует убо вся, а сам той ни от единаго востязуется.
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.
Кто бо разуме ум Господень, иже изяснит и? Мы же ум Христов имамы.
