1 karinthinaḥ 2

1 hē bhrātarō yuṣmatsamīpē mamāgamanakālē'haṁ vaktr̥tāyā vidyāyā vā naipuṇyēnēśvarasya sākṣyaṁ pracāritavān tannahi;

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.

2 yatō yīśukhrīṣṭaṁ tasya kruśē hatatvañca vinā nānyat kimapi yuṣmanmadhyē jñāpayituṁ vihitaṁ buddhavān|

For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 aparañcātīva daurbbalyabhītikampayuktō yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhamāsaṁ|

When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.

4 aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsō yat mānuṣikajñānasya phalaṁ na bhavēt kintvīśvarīyaśaktēḥ phalaṁ bhavēt,

My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 tadarthaṁ mama vaktr̥tā madīyapracāraśca mānuṣikajñānasya madhuravākyasambalitau nāstāṁ kintvātmanaḥ śaktēśca pramāṇayuktāvāstāṁ|

that your faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God.

6 vayaṁ jñānaṁ bhāṣāmahē tacca siddhalōkai rjñānamiva manyatē, tadihalōkasya jñānaṁ nahi, ihalōkasya naśvarāṇām adhipatīnāṁ vā jñānaṁ nahi; (aiōn g165)

We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature, but a wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)

7 kintu kālāvasthāyāḥ pūrvvasmād yat jñānam asmākaṁ vibhavārtham īśvarēṇa niścitya pracchannaṁ tannigūḍham īśvarīyajñānaṁ prabhāṣāmahē| (aiōn g165)

But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God determined in advance before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)

8 ihalōkasyādhipatīnāṁ kēnāpi tat jñānaṁ na labdhaṁ, labdhē sati tē prabhāvaviśiṣṭaṁ prabhuṁ kruśē nāhaniṣyan| (aiōn g165)

which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 tadvallikhitamāstē, nētrēṇa kkāpi nō dr̥ṣṭaṁ karṇēnāpi ca na śrutaṁ| manōmadhyē tu kasyāpi na praviṣṭaṁ kadāpi yat|īśvarē prīyamāṇānāṁ kr̥tē tat tēna sañcitaṁ|

But as it is written, No eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who love him.

10 aparamīśvaraḥ svātmanā tadasmākaṁ sākṣāt prākāśayat; yata ātmā sarvvamēvānusandhattē tēna cēśvarasya marmmatattvamapi budhyatē|

But to us God revealed it through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

11 manujasyāntaḥsthamātmānaṁ vinā kēna manujēna tasya manujasya tattvaṁ budhyatē? tadvadīśvarasyātmānaṁ vinā kēnāpīśvarasya tattvaṁ na budhyatē|

For what person knows the things of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

12 vayañcēhalōkasyātmānaṁ labdhavantastannahi kintvīśvarasyaivātmānaṁ labdhavantaḥ, tatō hētōrīśvarēṇa svaprasādād asmabhyaṁ yad yad dattaṁ tatsarvvam asmābhi rjñātuṁ śakyatē|

But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

13 taccāsmābhi rmānuṣikajñānasya vākyāni śikṣitvā kathyata iti nahi kintvātmatō vākyāni śikṣitvātmikai rvākyairātmikaṁ bhāvaṁ prakāśayadbhiḥ kathyatē|

And we speak of these things, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

14 prāṇī manuṣya īśvarīyātmanaḥ śikṣāṁ na gr̥hlāti yata ātmikavicārēṇa sā vicāryyēti hētōḥ sa tāṁ pralāpamiva manyatē bōddhuñca na śaknōti|

Now the natural person does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 ātmikō mānavaḥ sarvvāṇi vicārayati kintu svayaṁ kēnāpi na vicāryyatē|

But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

16 yata īśvarasya manō jñātvā tamupadēṣṭuṁ kaḥ śaknōti? kintu khrīṣṭasya manō'smābhi rlabdhaṁ|

For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
