< 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.
Én is, mikor hozzátok mentem, atyámfiai, nem mentem, hogy nagy ékesszólással, avagy bölcseséggel hirdessem néktek az Isten bizonyságtételét.
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.
Mert nem végeztem, hogy egyébről tudjak ti köztetek, mint a Jézus Krisztusról, még pedig mint megfeszítettről.
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.
És én erőtlenség, félelem és nagy rettegés közt jelentem meg ti köztetek.
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].
És az én beszédem és az én prédikálásom nem emberi bölcseségnek hitető beszédiben állott, hanem léleknek és erőnek megmutatásában:
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.
Hogy a ti hitetek ne emberek bölcseségén, hanem Istennek erején nyugodjék.
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 )
Bölcseséget pedig a tökéletesek között szólunk; ámde nem e világnak, sem e világ veszendő fejedelmeinek bölcseségét; (aiōn )
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 )
Hanem Istennek titkon való bölcseségét szóljuk, azt az elrejtetett, melyet öröktől fogva elrendelt az Isten a mi dicsőségünkre; (aiōn )
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 )
Melyet e világ fejedelmei közül senki sem ismert, mert ha megismerték volna, nem feszítették volna meg a dicsőség Urát: (aiōn )
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.
Hanem, a mint meg van írva: A miket szem nem látott, fül nem hallott és embernek szíve meg se gondolt, a miket Isten készített az őt szeretőknek.
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.
Nekünk azonban az Isten kijelentette az ő Lelke által: mert a Lélek mindeneket vizsgál, még az Istennek mélységeit is.
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.
Mert kicsoda tudja az emberek közül az ember dolgait, hanemha az embernek lelke, a mely ő benne van? Azonképen az Isten dolgait sem ismeri senki, hanemha az Istennek Lelke.
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.
Mi pedig nem e világnak lelkét vettük, hanem az Istenből való Lelket; hogy megismerjük azokat, a miket Isten ajándékozott nékünk.
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]).
Ezeket prédikáljuk is, nem oly beszédekkel, melyekre emberi bölcseség tanít, hanem a melyekre a Szent Lélek tanít; lelkiekhez lelkieket szabván.
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].
Érzéki ember pedig nem foghatja meg az Isten Lelkének dolgait: mert bolondságok néki; meg sem értheti, mivelhogy lelkiképen ítéltetnek meg.
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.
A lelki ember azonban mindent megítél, de ő senkitől sem ítéltetik meg.
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.
Mert ki érte fel az Úrnak értelmét, hogy megoktathatná őt? Bennünk pedig Krisztus értelme van.
