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.
Yo, hermanos, cuando fui a vosotros, no llegué anunciándoos el testimonio de Dios con superioridad de palabra o de sabiduría,
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.
porque me propuse no saber entre vosotros otra cosa sino a Jesucristo, y Este crucificado.
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.
Y, efectivamente, llegué a vosotros con debilidad, con temor, y con mucho temblor.
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].
Y mi lenguaje y mi predicación no consistieron en discursos persuasivos de sabiduría ( humana ), sino en manifestación de Espíritu y de poder;
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.
para que vuestra fe no se funde en sabiduría de hombres, sino en una fuerza divina.
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)
Predicamos, sí, sabiduría entre los perfectos; pero no sabiduría de este siglo, ni de los príncipes de este siglo, los cuales caducan, (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)
sino que predicamos sabiduría de Dios en misterio, aquella que estaba escondida y que predestinó Dios antes de los siglos para gloria nuestra; (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)
aquella que ninguno de los príncipes de este siglo ha conocido, pues si la hubiesen conocido no habrían crucificado al Señor de la gloria. (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.
Pero, según está escrito: “Lo que ojo no vio, ni oído oyó, ni entró en pensamiento humano, esto tiene Dios preparado para los que le aman”.
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.
Mas a nosotros nos lo reveló Dios por medio del Espíritu, pues el Espíritu escudriña todas las cosas, aun las profundidades de Dios.
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.
¿Quién de entre los hombres conoce lo que hay en un hombre sino el espíritu de ese hombre que está en él? Así también las cosas de Dios nadie llegó a conocerlas sino el Espíritu de Dios.
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.
Y nosotros no hemos recibido el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que es de Dios; para que apreciemos las cosas que Dios nos ha dado gratuitamente.
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]).
Estas las predicamos, no con palabras enseñadas por la sabiduría humana, sino con las aprendidas del Espíritu Santo, interpretando las ( enseñanzas ) espirituales para (hombres ) espirituales,
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].
porque el hombre natural no acepta las cosas del Espíritu de Dios, como que para él son una insensatez; ni las puede entender, por cuanto hay que juzgar de ellas espiritualmente.
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.
El ( hombre ) espiritual, al contrario, lo juzga todo, en tanto que él mismo de nadie es juzgado.
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.
Pues “¿quién ha conocido jamás el pensamiento del Señor para darle instrucciones?” Nosotros, en cambio, tenemos el sentido de Cristo.
