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.
Так і я, брати, прибувши до вас, не прийшов звіщати Божу таємницю майстерністю слова або мудрістю,
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.
адже я вирішив не знати серед вас нічого, окрім Ісуса Христа, і то Його розіп’ятого.
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.
Я перебував серед вас у слабкості, у страху та у великому тремтінні.
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].
Моє слово та моя проповідь не [полягали] в переконливих словах мудрості, а в прояві Духа та сили,
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.
щоб ваша віра [ґрунтувалася] не на мудрості людей, а на силі Бога.
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)
Усе ж таки ми говоримо про мудрість між довершеними, а не про мудрість цього віку й не про керівників цього віку, які проходять. (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)
Ми говоримо про Божу мудрість, заховану в таємниці, яку Бог заздалегідь призначив для нашої слави перед віками. (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)
І цієї мудрості не пізнав жоден із правителів цього віку, бо якби пізнали, то не розіп’яли б Господа слави. (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.
Але як написано: «Око не бачило, та вухо не чуло, і до серця людського не підіймалося те, що Бог приготував тим, хто любить Його».
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.
А нам Бог відкрив це через Духа. Адже Дух усе досліджує, навіть Божі глибини.
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.
І дійсно, хто знає те, що є в людині, як не людський дух, який є в ній? Так само ніхто не знає те, що є в Бозі, окрім Божого Духа.
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.
Ми ж не маємо духа світу, але Духа від Бога, щоб знати те, що дароване нам Богом.
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]).
І говоримо про це не словами, яких навчає людська мудрість, а [словами, ] вивченими в Дусі, пояснюючи духовне духовним.
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].
А плотська людина не приймає того, що від Божого Духа, бо для неї це безумство; і вона не може [цього] пізнати, адже про це можна судити лише духовно.
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.
Духовний судить усе, а його ніхто не судить.
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.
Адже «Хто пізнав задум Господа, щоб порадити Йому?» Ми ж маємо розум Христа.
