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.
兄弟姐妹们，以前去拜访你们时，我讲述了上帝希望你们了解的正道，但并未试图用漂亮的辞藻或看似精妙的智慧来吸引你们。
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.
因为我决定，与你们在一起时，我只想关注耶稣基督和他钉上十字架之事。
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.
我以软弱、惧怕和战战兢兢的方式出现在你们面前。
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].
我并未用雄辩的智慧语言说服你们，只是通过证据和圣灵力量予以证明，
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.
通过这种方式，你们才不会凭借人的智慧相信上帝，而是凭借上帝的能力。
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)
但当我们与精神成熟之人交流，变回使用智慧之语，但并非这世间的智慧，也不是人类统治者的智慧，这些统治者很快就会从世间消失。相反， (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)
我们以奥秘解读上帝的智慧。上帝在创世之前便已为我们的荣耀立下这奥秘，曾一直被隐藏，如今已经显现。 (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)
没有哪位人间当权者知晓这奥秘，如果他们知道，就不会把荣耀之主钉上十字架。 (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.
正如经文所记：“上帝为爱他之人所准备的一切，乃眼不曾见过、双耳不曾听过、人思想未曾想过。”
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.
但上帝却通过圣灵向我们显明这一切，因为圣灵能够参透上帝深邃的内在。
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.
除了真实的自己，还有谁了解你的想法？同样，除了上帝的灵，还有谁知晓上帝的想法？
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.
我们从上帝那里领取的不是人世之灵，而是来自上帝的灵，这样我们才能理解上帝的慷慨馈赠到底是什么。
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]).
我们的言语也是如此，所使用的并非人类的智慧语言，而是圣灵传授的语言。我们以圣灵的语言，解释何为圣灵。
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].
当然了，心中没有圣灵之人，也不会接受来自上帝的灵。我们的言语对他们而言就是一派胡言，他们无法理解，因为圣灵之事需细细思量。
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.
与圣灵同在之人能看透万事，但却无人能看透他。
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.
因为“谁理解主的心意并思量着指教他？”但我们的确拥有了基督的心意。
