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.
När jag kom till eder, mina bröder, var det också icke med höga ord eller hög visdom som jag kom och frambar för eder Guds vittnesbörd.
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.
Ty jag hade beslutit mig för, att medan jag var bland eder icke veta om något annat än Jesus Kristus, och honom såsom korsfäst.
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.
Och jag uppträdde hos eder i svaghet och med fruktan och mycken bävan.
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].
Och mitt tal och min predikan framställdes icke med övertalande visdomsord, utan med en bevisning i ande och kraft;
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.
ty eder tro skulle icke vara grundad på människors visdom, utan på Guds kraft.
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)
Visdom tala vi dock bland dem som äro fullmogna, men en visdom som icke tillhör denna tidsålder eller denna tidsålders mäktige, vilkas makt bliver till intet. (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)
Nej, vi tala Guds hemliga visdom, den fördolda, om vilken Gud, redan före tidsåldrarnas begynnelse, har bestämt att den skall bliva oss till härlighet, (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)
och som ingen av denna tidsålders mäktige har känt; ty om de hade känt den, så hade de icke korsfäst härlighetens Herre. (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.
Vi tala -- såsom det heter i skriften -- "vad intet öga har sett och intet öra har hört, och vad ingen människas hjärta har kunnat tänka, vad Gud har berett åt dem som älska honom".
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.
Ty för oss har Gud uppenbarat det genom sin Ande. Anden utrannsakar ju allt, ja ock Guds djuphet.
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.
Ty vilken människa vet vad som är i en människa, utom den människans egen ande? Likaså känner ingen vad som är i Gud, utom Guds Ande.
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.
Men vi hava icke fått världens ande, utan den Ande som är av Gud, för att vi skola veta vad som har blivit oss skänkt av Gud.
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]).
Om detta tala vi ock, icke med sådana ord som mänsklig visdom lär oss, utan med sådana ord som Anden lär oss; vi hava ju att tyda andliga ting för andliga människor.
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].
Men en "själisk" människa tager icke emot vad som hör Guds Ande till. Det är henne en dårskap, och hon kan icke förstå det, ty det måste utgrundas på ett andligt sätt.
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.
Den andliga människan åter kan utgrunda allt, men själv kan hon icke utgrundas av någon.
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.
Ty "vem har lärt känna Herrens sinne, så att han skulle kunna undervisa honom?" Men vi hava Kristi sinne.
