1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
hē bhrātarō yuṣmatsamīpē mamāgamanakālē'haṁ vaktr̥tāyā vidyāyā vā naipuṇyēnēśvarasya sākṣyaṁ pracāritavān tannahi;
2 For I determined not to know anything amongst you except Yeshua the Messiah and him crucified.
yatō yīśukhrīṣṭaṁ tasya kruśē hatatvañca vinā nānyat kimapi yuṣmanmadhyē jñāpayituṁ vihitaṁ buddhavān|
3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
aparañcātīva daurbbalyabhītikampayuktō yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhamāsaṁ|
4 My speech and my proclaiming were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsō yat mānuṣikajñānasya phalaṁ na bhavēt kintvīśvarīyaśaktēḥ phalaṁ bhavēt,
5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
tadarthaṁ mama vaktr̥tā madīyapracāraśca mānuṣikajñānasya madhuravākyasambalitau nāstāṁ kintvātmanaḥ śaktēśca pramāṇayuktāvāstāṁ|
6 We speak wisdom, however, amongst those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing. (aiōn g165)
vayaṁ jñānaṁ bhāṣāmahē tacca siddhalōkai rjñānamiva manyatē, tadihalōkasya jñānaṁ nahi, ihalōkasya naśvarāṇām adhipatīnāṁ vā jñānaṁ nahi; (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, (aiōn g165)
kintu kālāvasthāyāḥ pūrvvasmād yat jñānam asmākaṁ vibhavārtham īśvarēṇa niścitya pracchannaṁ tannigūḍham īśvarīyajñānaṁ prabhāṣāmahē| (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
ihalōkasyādhipatīnāṁ kēnāpi tat jñānaṁ na labdhaṁ, labdhē sati tē prabhāvaviśiṣṭaṁ prabhuṁ kruśē nāhaniṣyan| (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”
tadvallikhitamāstē, nētrēṇa kkāpi nō dr̥ṣṭaṁ karṇēnāpi ca na śrutaṁ| manōmadhyē tu kasyāpi na praviṣṭaṁ kadāpi yat|īśvarē prīyamāṇānāṁ kr̥tē tat tēna sañcitaṁ|
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
aparamīśvaraḥ svātmanā tadasmākaṁ sākṣāt prākāśayat; yata ātmā sarvvamēvānusandhattē tēna cēśvarasya marmmatattvamapi budhyatē|
11 For who amongst men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.
manujasyāntaḥsthamātmānaṁ vinā kēna manujēna tasya manujasya tattvaṁ budhyatē? tadvadīśvarasyātmānaṁ vinā kēnāpīśvarasya tattvaṁ na budhyatē|
12 But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
vayañcēhalōkasyātmānaṁ labdhavantastannahi kintvīśvarasyaivātmānaṁ labdhavantaḥ, tatō hētōrīśvarēṇa svaprasādād asmabhyaṁ yad yad dattaṁ tatsarvvam asmābhi rjñātuṁ śakyatē|
13 We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
taccāsmābhi rmānuṣikajñānasya vākyāni śikṣitvā kathyata iti nahi kintvātmatō vākyāni śikṣitvātmikai rvākyairātmikaṁ bhāvaṁ prakāśayadbhiḥ kathyatē|
14 Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
prāṇī manuṣya īśvarīyātmanaḥ śikṣāṁ na gr̥hlāti yata ātmikavicārēṇa sā vicāryyēti hētōḥ sa tāṁ pralāpamiva manyatē bōddhuñca na śaknōti|
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
ātmikō mānavaḥ sarvvāṇi vicārayati kintu svayaṁ kēnāpi na vicāryyatē|
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Messiah’s mind.
yata īśvarasya manō jñātvā tamupadēṣṭuṁ kaḥ śaknōti? kintu khrīṣṭasya manō'smābhi rlabdhaṁ|
