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.
І я, прийшовши до вас, браттє, прийшов не з високим словом або премудростю, звіщаючи вам сьвідченнє Боже.
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.
Бо я надумавсь, не знати нічого між вами, тільки Ісуса Христа, та й Його рознятого.
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.
І був я в вас у слабосиллї, в страсї і в великій трівозї.
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].
І слово мов, і проповідь моя не в переважливих словах людської премудрості, а в явленню духа і 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 віра ваша була не в мудрості людській, а в силі Божій.
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)
Премудрість же промовляємо між звершеними, та премудрість не віка сього, анї князів віка сього, що зникають, (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)
а промовляємо премудрість Божу тайну, закриту, котру Бог призначив перш віків на 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)
котрої ніхто з князів віка сього не пізнав; бо коли б пізнали, то Господа слави не розпяли б. (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.
Нї, яко ж писано: Чого око не видїло, нї ухо не чуло і що на серце чоловікові не зійшло, те наготовив Бог 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.
Нам же Бог відкрив Духом своїм; бо Дух усього досліджує, навіть і глибокостей Божих.
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.
Хто бо з людей знає, що в чоловіку, окрім духа чоловічого, що в ньому? Так і що в Бозї, нїхто не знає тільки 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.
Ми ж не духа сьвіта прийняли а Духа, що від Бога, щоб знали, що нам дароване від Бога.
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]).
Се промовляємо не ученими словами людської премудрости, а навченими Духом сьвятим, духовні (речи) духовним (словом) подаючи.
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].
Душевний же чоловік не приймає, що єсть Духа Божого; дурощі бо воно йому, і не може зрозуміти, бо се духовно треба розбірати.
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 же розбірає все, він же від нїкого не розбираєть ся.
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.
Хто бо зрозумів ум Господень, щоб ясувати його? Ми ж ум Христів маємо.
