1 Corinthians 2
1 And as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to.
he bhrātaro yuṣmatsamīpe mamāgamanakāle'haṁ vaktṛtāyā vidyāyā vā naipuṇyeneśvarasya sākṣyaṁ pracāritavān tannahi;
2 For I determined to be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified.
yato yīśukhrīṣṭaṁ tasya kruśe hatatvañca vinā nānyat kimapi yuṣmanmadhye jñāpayituṁ vihitaṁ buddhavān|
3 And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety.
aparañcātīva daurbbalyabhītikampayukto yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhamāsaṁ|
4 And my language and the Message that I proclaimed were not adorned with persuasive words of earthly wisdom, but depended upon truths which the Spirit taught and mightily carried home;
aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāso yat mānuṣikajñānasya phalaṁ na bhavet kintvīśvarīyaśakteḥ phalaṁ bhavet,
5 so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.
tadarthaṁ mama vaktṛtā madīyapracāraśca mānuṣikajñānasya madhuravākyasambalitau nāstāṁ kintvātmanaḥ śakteśca pramāṇayuktāvāstāṁ|
6 Yet when we are among mature believers we do speak words of wisdom; a wisdom not belonging, however, to the present age nor to the leaders of the present age who are soon to pass away. (aiōn g165)
vayaṁ jñānaṁ bhāṣāmahe tacca siddhalokai rjñānamiva manyate, tadihalokasya jñānaṁ nahi, ihalokasya naśvarāṇām adhipatīnāṁ vā jñānaṁ nahi; (aiōn g165)
7 But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom--that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us; (aiōn g165)
kintu kālāvasthāyāḥ pūrvvasmād yat jñānam asmākaṁ vibhavārtham īśvareṇa niścitya pracchannaṁ tannigūḍham īśvarīyajñānaṁ prabhāṣāmahe| (aiōn g165)
8 a wisdom which not one of the leaders of the present age possesses, for if they had possessed it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
ihalokasyādhipatīnāṁ kenāpi tat jñānaṁ na labdhaṁ, labdhe sati te prabhāvaviśiṣṭaṁ prabhuṁ kruśe nāhaniṣyan| (aiōn g165)
9 But--to use the words of Scripture--we speak of things which eye has not seen nor ear heard, and which have never entered the heart of man: all that God has in readiness for them that love Him.
tadvallikhitamāste, netreṇa kkāpi no dṛṣṭaṁ karṇenāpi ca na śrutaṁ| manomadhye tu kasyāpi na praviṣṭaṁ kadāpi yat|īśvare prīyamāṇānāṁ kṛte tat tena sañcitaṁ|
10 For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature.
aparamīśvaraḥ svātmanā tadasmākaṁ sākṣāt prākāśayat; yata ātmā sarvvamevānusandhatte tena ceśvarasya marmmatattvamapi budhyate|
11 For, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? In the same way, also, only God's Spirit is acquainted with God's inner thoughts.
manujasyāntaḥsthamātmānaṁ vinā kena manujena tasya manujasya tattvaṁ budhyate? tadvadīśvarasyātmānaṁ vinā kenāpīśvarasya tattvaṁ na budhyate|
12 But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may know the blessings that have been so freely given to us by God.
vayañcehalokasyātmānaṁ labdhavantastannahi kintvīśvarasyaivātmānaṁ labdhavantaḥ, tato hetorīśvareṇa svaprasādād asmabhyaṁ yad yad dattaṁ tatsarvvam asmābhi rjñātuṁ śakyate|
13 Of these we speak--not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches--adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths.
taccāsmābhi rmānuṣikajñānasya vākyāni śikṣitvā kathyata iti nahi kintvātmato vākyāni śikṣitvātmikai rvākyairātmikaṁ bhāvaṁ prakāśayadbhiḥ kathyate|
14 The unspiritual man rejects the things of the Spirit of God, and cannot attain to the knowledge of them, because they are spiritually judged.
prāṇī manuṣya īśvarīyātmanaḥ śikṣāṁ na gṛhlāti yata ātmikavicāreṇa sā vicāryyeti hetoḥ sa tāṁ pralāpamiva manyate boddhuñca na śaknoti|
15 But the spiritual man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one.
ātmiko mānavaḥ sarvvāṇi vicārayati kintu svayaṁ kenāpi na vicāryyate|
16 For who has penetrated the mind of the Lord, and will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
yata īśvarasya mano jñātvā tamupadeṣṭuṁ kaḥ śaknoti? kintu khrīṣṭasya mano'smābhi rlabdhaṁ|
