< 1 Corinthians 2 >

1 And I, having come to you, brothers, came—not in superiority of discourse or wisdom—declaring to you the testimony of God,
ܘܐܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܟܕ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܡܡܠܠܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܒܚܟܡܬܐ ܤܒܪܬܟܘܢ ܐܪܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
2 for I decided not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified;
ܘܠܐ ܕܢܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܕܡ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܦ ܠܗ ܟܕ ܙܩܝܦ
3 and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;
ܘܐܢܐ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܒܪܬܝܬܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ
4 and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power—
ܘܡܠܬܝ ܘܟܪܘܙܘܬܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܦܝܤܢܘܬܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܚܟܡܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܕܚܝܠܐ
5 that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
6 And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age—of those becoming useless, (aiōn g165)
ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܒܓܡܝܪܐ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܠܐ ܕܗܢܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܕܫܠܝܛܢܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܬܒܛܠܝܢ (aiōn g165)
7 but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory, (aiōn g165)
ܐܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܐܪܙ ܗܝ ܕܡܟܤܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܩܕܡ ܗܘܐ ܦܪܫܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܠܡܐ ܠܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܝܠܢ (aiōn g165)
8 which no one of the rulers of this age knew, for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory; (aiōn g165)
ܗܝ ܕܚܕ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܛܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܗ ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܘܗ ܠܘ ܠܡܪܗ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܙܩܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ (aiōn g165)
9 but according as it has been written: “What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and on the heart of man did not come up, what God prepared for those loving Him”;
ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܥܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܬ ܘܐܕܢܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܐ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܤܠܩ ܡܕܡ ܕܛܝܒ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܠܗ
10 but God revealed [them] to us through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God,
ܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܓܠܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܒܨܝܐ ܐܦ ܥܘܡܩܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ
11 for who of men has known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? So also the things of God no one has known, except the Spirit of God.
ܐܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܝܕܥ ܕܒܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܒܪ ܕܒܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
12 And we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,
ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܢܤܒܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܕܥ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܢ
13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things,
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܠܪܘܚܢܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܡܦܚܡܝܢܢ
14 and the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know [them], because they are discerned spiritually;
ܒܪܢܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܢܦܫ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܕܥ ܕܒܪܘܚ ܡܬܕܝܢ
15 and he who is spiritual, indeed discerns all things, and he himself is discerned by no one;
ܪܘܚܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢ ܘܗܘ ܡܢ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܬܕܝܢ
16 for who knew the mind of the LORD that he will instruct Him? And we have the mind of Christ.
ܡܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥ ܪܥܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܢܠܦܝܘܗܝ ܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ
