< 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.
Hermanos, cuando los visité, fui a proclamarles el misterio de Dios sin brillantez de oratoria ni vana sabiduría.
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.
Solo me propuse reconocer entre ustedes lo relacionado con Jesucristo 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.
Me presenté ante ustedes con debilidad, temor y mucho temblor.
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].
No les prediqué con sabiduría convincente, sino con demostración del poder del Espíritu,
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 su fe no se base en [la] sabiduría humana, sino en el poder de Dios.
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)
Sin embargo, hablamos sabiduría entre los que son maduros en la fe. No sabiduría de este tiempo, ni de los señores de este mundo que perecen. (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)
Hablamos sabiduría oculta de Dios, la escondida, la cual Dios predestinó antes de los siglos para nuestro resplandor, (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)
el cual ninguno de los señores de este mundo entendió, porque si [lo] entendieran, no habrían crucificado al Señor de [la] gloria. (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.
Pero, como está escrito: Cosas que ojo no vio, ni oído oyó, ni mente pensó, son las que Dios preparó para los que lo aman.
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.
Pero Dios nos [las ]reveló por medio del Espíritu, porque [el] Espíritu escudriña todas las cosas, aun las profundidades de Dios.
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.
¿Quién conoce los pensamientos del hombre, sino el espíritu humano que está en él? Asimismo nadie conoce los pensamientos de Dios, sino el Espíritu de Dios.
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.
Nosotros no recibimos el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu de Dios, para que sepamos lo que Dios nos concedió.
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]).
Esto también hablamos al comparar lo espiritual con lo espiritual, no con palabras de sabiduría humana, sino con las que enseña el Espíritu.
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].
Pero [la] persona natural no acepta las cosas del Espíritu de Dios, porque para él son locura. No puede entenderlas, pues se evalúan 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.
En cambio, el [hombre] espiritual evalúa todas las cosas, pero a él nadie lo juzga.
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.
¿Quién conoció [la] mente del Señor? ¿Quién lo instruirá? Sin embargo, nosotros tenemos [la] mente de Cristo.
