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.
E eu, irmãos, quando vim até vós, não vim vos anunciar o testemunho de Deus com excelência de palavras, ou sabedoria.
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.
Porque não quis saber coisa alguma entre vós, a não ser Jesus Cristo, e ele crucificado.
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.
E eu estive convosco em fraqueza, em temor, e em grande tremor.
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].
E a minha palavra e a minha pregação não foram em palavras persuasivas de sabedoria, mas sim, em demonstração do Espírito e de poder;
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.
para que a vossa fé não fosse em sabedoria humana, mas sim, no poder de Deus.
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)
Contudo, falamos sabedoria entre os maduros, porém uma sabedoria não deste mundo, nem dos líderes deste mundo, que perecem. (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)
Mas falamos a sabedoria de Deus, oculta em mistério, a qual Deus ordenou antes dos tempos para a nossa glória; (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)
a [sabedoria] que nenhum dos líderes deste mundo conheceu. Porque, se a tivessem conhecido, nunca teriam crucificado ao Senhor da glória. (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.
Porém, assim como está escrito: “As coisas que o olho não viu, e não subiram que ao coração humano, [são] as que Deus preparou para os que o amam”.
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.
Mas Deus as revelou para nós pelo seu Espírito. Porque o Espírito investiga todas as coisas, até as profundezas de Deus.
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.
Pois quem dentre os seres humanos sabe as coisas do ser humano, senão o espírito do ser humano que nele está? Assim também ninguém sabe as coisas de Deus, senão o Espírito de Deus.
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.
Nós, porém, não recebemos o espírito do mundo, mas sim, o Espírito que provém de Deus; para que saibamos as coisas que por Deus nos são dadas;
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]).
as quais também falamos, não com palavras que a sabedoria ensina, mas com as que o Espírito Santo ensina, interpretando [coisas] espirituais por [meios] espirituais.
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].
Mas o ser humano natural não compreende as coisas que são do Espírito de Deus, porque lhe são loucura; e não as pode entender, porque se compreendem espiritualmente.
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.
Porém quem é espiritual compreende todas as coisas, mas não é compreendido por ninguém.
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.
Pois quem conheceu a mente do Senhor, para que o possa instruir? Mas nós temos a mente de Cristo.
