< 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.
ଅତଏବ, ହେ ଭାଇମାନେ, ଯେତେବେଳେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସିଥିଲି, ସେତେବେଳେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିଗୂଢ଼ ତତ୍ତ୍ୱ ବକ୍ତୃତା କିମ୍ବା ଜ୍ଞାନର ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟତା ସହିତ ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରଚାର କରିଥିଲି, ତାହା ନୁହେଁ।
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.
କାରଣ ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ କ୍ରୁଶରେ ହତ ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ବିନା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଆଉ କୌଣସି ବିଷୟ ନ ଜାଣିବାକୁ ମୁଁ ମନସ୍ଥ କଲି।
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.
ପୁଣି, ମୁଁ ଦୁର୍ବଳତା, ଭୟ ଓ ମହାକମ୍ପ ସହ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଥିଲି;
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].
ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଯେପରି ମନୁଷ୍ୟର ଜ୍ଞାନ ଉପରେ ସ୍ଥାପିତ ନ ହୋଇ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ତି ଉପରେ ସ୍ଥାପିତ ହୁଏ,
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.
ଏଥିପାଇଁ ମୋହର ଶିକ୍ଷା ଓ ମୋହର ପ୍ରଚାର, ଜ୍ଞାନର ମନୋହର ବାକ୍ୟଯୁକ୍ତ ନ ହୋଇ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ତିରେ ପ୍ରମାଣଯୁକ୍ତ ହୋଇଥିଲା।
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 )
ତଥାପି ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପରିପକ୍ୱ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଜ୍ଞାନର କଥା କହୁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ତାହା ଏହି ଯୁଗର ଜ୍ଞାନ ନୁହେଁ କିମ୍ବା ଏହି ଯୁଗର ନଷ୍ଟକଳ୍ପ ନେତାମାନଙ୍କ ଜ୍ଞାନ ନୁହେଁ, (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 )
ମାତ୍ର ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ନିଗୂଢ଼ତତ୍ତ୍ୱ ସ୍ୱରୂପ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଜ୍ଞାନର କଥା କହୁଅଛୁ ସେହି ଗୁପ୍ତ ଜ୍ଞାନ ଈଶ୍ବର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଗୌରବ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଜଗତର ପୂର୍ବେ ନିରୂପଣ କରିଥିଲେ। (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 )
ଏହି ଯୁଗର ନେତାମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କେହି ତାହା ଜାଣି ନାହାନ୍ତି, କାରଣ ଯଦି ସେମାନେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଜ୍ଞାନକୁ ଜାଣିଥାଆନ୍ତେ, ତେବେ ଗୌରବମୟ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ କ୍ରୁଶରେ ହତ କରି ନ ଥାଆନ୍ତେ; (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.
କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେପରି ଲେଖାଅଛି, “ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଯାହା ଦେଖି ନାହିଁ, କର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଯାହା ଶୁଣି ନାହିଁ, ଆଉ ମନୁଷ୍ୟର ହୃଦୟରେ ଯାହା ଜାତ ହୋଇ ନାହିଁ, ଯେ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ଈଶ୍ବର ଆପଣା ପ୍ରେମକାରୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।”
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.
କିନ୍ତୁ ଈଶ୍ବର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେ ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି ଯେଣୁ ସେହି ଆତ୍ମା ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ, ହଁ, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ଗଭୀର ବିଷୟସବୁ ଅନୁସନ୍ଧାନ କରନ୍ତି।
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.
କାରଣ ମନୁଷ୍ୟର ବିଷୟସବୁ ମନୁଷ୍ୟଠାରେ ଥିବା ଆତ୍ମା ବିନା ଆଉ କିଏ ଜାଣେ? ସେହିପରି ମଧ୍ୟ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବିଷୟସବୁ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମା ବିନା ଆଉ କେହି ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ।
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.
ଯେପରି ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହରେ ଦିଆଯାଇଥିବା ବିଷୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣି ପାରୁ, ଏଥିପାଇଁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜଗତର ଆତ୍ମା ନ ପାଇ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମା ପାଇଅଛୁ।
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]).
ସେହି ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ମଧ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟର ଜ୍ଞାନର ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦ୍ୱାରା ବାକ୍ୟରେ କହି ନ ଥାଉ, ମାତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମିକ ବିଷୟସବୁ ଆତ୍ମିକ ବିଷୟ ଦ୍ୱାରା ବୁଝାଇ ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଶିକ୍ଷିତ ବାକ୍ୟରେ କହିଥାଉ।
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].
କିନ୍ତୁ ସାଂସାରିକ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରେ ନାହିଁ, କାରଣ ସେହିସବୁ ତାହା ନିକଟରେ ମୂର୍ଖତା, ପୁଣି, ସେ ସେହିସବୁ ବୁଝି ପାରେ ନାହିଁ, ଯେଣୁ ସେହିସବୁକୁ ଆତ୍ମିକ ଭାବରେ ବିଚାର କରାଯାଏ।
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.
ମାତ୍ର ଯେ ଆତ୍ମିକମନା, ସେ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ବିଚାର କରେ, ତଥାପି କେହି ତାହାର ବିଚାର କରେ ନାହିଁ।
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.
ଯେପରି ପବିତ୍ର ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ ଲେଖାଅଛି, “କାରଣ, କିଏ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ମନ ଜାଣିଅଛି ଯେ, ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେଇ ପାରେ?” କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ମନ ପାଇଅଛୁ।
