1 Corinthians 2

1 I, therefore, brethren, when I came unto you, came, not with excellency of discourse or wisdom, declaring unto you the mystery of God;

he bhrātaro yuṣmatsamīpe mamāgamanakāle'haṁ vaktṛtāyā vidyāyā vā naipuṇyeneśvarasya sākṣyaṁ pracāritavān tannahi;

2 For I had not determined to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, —and, him, as one who had been crucified!

yato yīśukhrīṣṭaṁ tasya kruśe hatatvañca vinā nānyat kimapi yuṣmanmadhye jñāpayituṁ vihitaṁ buddhavān|

3 I, therefore in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, came to be with you,

aparañcātīva daurbbalyabhītikampayukto yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhamāsaṁ|

4 And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power:

aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso yat mānuṣikajñānasya phalaṁ na bhavet kintvīśvarīyaśakteḥ phalaṁ bhavet,

5 In order that, your faith, might not be in men’s wisdom, but in God’s power.

tadarthaṁ mama vaktṛtā madīyapracāraśca mānuṣikajñānasya madhuravākyasambalitau nāstāṁ kintvātmanaḥ śakteśca pramāṇayuktāvāstāṁ|

6 Wisdom, however, we do speak, among the full-grown, —wisdom, indeed, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are to come to nought; (aiōn g165)

vayaṁ jñānaṁ bhāṣāmahe tacca siddhalokai rjñānamiva manyate, tadihalokasya jñānaṁ nahi, ihalokasya naśvarāṇām adhipatīnāṁ vā jñānaṁ nahi; (aiōn g165)

7 But we speak, God’s, wisdom, in a sacred secret, that hidden [wisdom], which God marked out beforehand, before the ages, for our glory, — (aiōn g165)

kintu kālāvasthāyāḥ pūrvvasmād yat jñānam asmākaṁ vibhavārtham īśvareṇa niścitya pracchannaṁ tannigūḍham īśvarīyajñānaṁ prabhāṣāmahe| (aiōn g165)

8 Which, none of the rulers of this age had come to know, for, had they known, not, in that case, the Lord of the glory, would they have crucified! (aiōn g165)

ihalokasyādhipatīnāṁ kenāpi tat jñānaṁ na labdhaṁ, labdhe sati te prabhāvaviśiṣṭaṁ prabhuṁ kruśe nāhaniṣyan| (aiōn g165)

9 But, even as it is written—The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and upon the heart of man have not come up, —whatsoever things God hath prepared for them that love him,

tadvallikhitamāste, netreṇa kkāpi no dṛṣṭaṁ karṇenāpi ca na śrutaṁ| manomadhye tu kasyāpi na praviṣṭaṁ kadāpi yat|īśvare prīyamāṇānāṁ kṛte tat tena sañcitaṁ|

10 Unto us, in fact, hath God revealed through the Spirit; for, the Spirit, into all things, maketh search, yea! the deep things of God.

aparamīśvaraḥ svātmanā tadasmākaṁ sākṣāt prākāśayat; yata ātmā sarvvamevānusandhatte tena ceśvarasya marmmatattvamapi budhyate|

11 For who of men knoweth the things of a man, —save the spirit of the man that is in him? thus, even the things of God, hath no one come to know, save the Spirit of God.

manujasyāntaḥsthamātmānaṁ vinā kena manujena tasya manujasya tattvaṁ budhyate? tadvadīśvarasyātmānaṁ vinā kenāpīśvarasya tattvaṁ na budhyate|

12 But, as for us, —not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, —that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: —

vayañcehalokasyātmānaṁ labdhavantastannahi kintvīśvarasyaivātmānaṁ labdhavantaḥ, tato hetorīśvareṇa svaprasādād asmabhyaṁ yad yad dattaṁ tatsarvvam asmābhi rjñātuṁ śakyate|

13 Which we also speak—not in words taught of human wisdom, but in such as are taught of [the] Spirit, by spiritual words, spiritual things, explaining.

taccāsmābhi rmānuṣikajñānasya vākyāni śikṣitvā kathyata iti nahi kintvātmato vākyāni śikṣitvātmikai rvākyairātmikaṁ bhāvaṁ prakāśayadbhiḥ kathyate|

14 But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

prāṇī manuṣya īśvarīyātmanaḥ śikṣāṁ na gṛhlāti yata ātmikavicāreṇa sā vicāryyeti hetoḥ sa tāṁ pralāpamiva manyate boddhuñca na śaknoti|

15 But, the man of the spirit, on the one hand, examineth all things, but, on the other, he himself, by no one, is examined.

ātmiko mānavaḥ sarvvāṇi vicārayati kintu svayaṁ kenāpi na vicāryyate|

16 For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord, that shall instruct him? But, we, have, the mind of Christ.

yata īśvarasya mano jñātvā tamupadeṣṭuṁ kaḥ śaknoti? kintu khrīṣṭasya mano'smābhi rlabdhaṁ|
