< 1 Korintským 2 >
1 I já přišed k vám, bratří, nepřišel jsem s důstojností řeči nebo moudrostí, zvěstuje vám svědectví Boží.
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.
2 Nebo tak jsem usoudil nic jiného neuměti mezi vámi, nežli Ježíše Krista, a to ještě toho ukřižovaného.
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.
3 A byl jsem já u vás v mdlobě, a v bázni, i v strachu mnohém.
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.
4 A řeč má a kázaní mé nebylo v slibných lidské moudrosti řečech, ale v dokázání Ducha svatého a moci,
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].
5 Aby víra vaše nebyla založena v moudrosti lidské, ale v moci Boží.
[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.
6 Moudrost pak mluvíme mezi dokonalými, ale moudrost ne tohoto světa, ani knížat světa tohoto, jenž hynou. (aiōn )
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 )
7 Ale mluvíme moudrost Boží v tajemství, kterážto skryta jest, kterouž Bůh předuložil před věky k slávě naší, (aiōn )
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 )
8 Jížto žádný z knížat světa tohoto nepoznal. Nebo kdyby byli poznali, nebyliť by Pána slávy ukřižovali. (aiōn )
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 )
9 Ale kážeme, jakož psáno jest: Èehož oko nevídalo, ani ucho slýchalo, ani na srdce lidské vstoupilo, co jest připravil Bůh těm, kteříž jej milují.
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.
10 Nám pak Bůh zjevil skrze Ducha svého. Nebo Duch zpytuje všecky věci, i hlubokosti Božské.
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.
11 Nebo kdo z lidí ví, co jest v člověku, jediné duch člověka, kterýž jest v něm? Takť i Božích věcí nezná žádný, jediné Duch Boží.
Only a person himself (OR, a person’s spirit) knows what he is thinking. Similarly, only God’s Spirit knows what God is thinking.
12 My pak nepřijali jsme ducha světa, ale Ducha toho, kterýž jest z Boha, abychom věděli, které věci od Boha darovány jsou nám.
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.
13 O nichž i mluvíme ne těmi slovy, jimž lidská moudrost učí, ale kterýmž vyučuje Duch svatý, duchovním to, což duchovního jest, přivlastňujíce.
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]).
14 Ale tělesný člověk nechápá těch věcí, kteréž jsou Ducha Božího; nebo jsou jemu bláznovství, aniž jich může poznati, protože ony duchovně mají rozsuzovány býti.
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].
15 Ale duchovní člověk rozsuzujeť všecko, sám pak od žádného nebývá souzen.
We who have God’s Spirit can judge correctly the [value of] all truths [that the Spirit reveals], but [unbelievers] cannot evaluate us correctly.
16 Nebo kdo jest poznal mysl Páně? A kdo jej bude učiti? My pak mysl Kristovu máme.
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.
