¹وانا لما أتيت اليكم ايها الاخوة أتيت ليس بسمو الكلام او الحكمة مناديا لكم بشهادة الله.

¹When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

²لاني لم أعزم ان اعرف شيئا بينكم الا يسوع المسيح واياه مصلوبا.

²For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

³وانا كنت عندكم في ضعف وخوف ورعدة كثيرة.

³I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

⁴وكلامي وكرازتي لم يكونا بكلام الحكمة الانسانية المقنع بل ببرهان الروح والقوة

⁴My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

⁵لكي لا يكون ايمانكم بحكمة الناس بل بقوة الله

⁵that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

⁶لكننا نتكلم بحكمة بين الكاملين ولكن بحكمة ليست من هذا الدهر ولا من عظماء هذا الدهر الذين يبطلون.

⁶We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

⁷بل نتكلم بحكمة الله في سرّ. الحكمة المكتومة التي سبق الله فعينها قبل الدهور لمجدنا.

⁷But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

⁸التي لم يعلمها احد من عظماء هذا الدهر. لان لو عرفوا لما صلبوا رب المجد.

⁸which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.

⁹بل كما هو مكتوب ما لم تر عين ولم تسمع اذن ولم يخطر على بال انسان ما اعده الله للذين يحبونه

⁹But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.” Isaiah 64:4

¹⁰فاعلنه الله لنا نحن بروحه. لان الروح يفحص كل شيء حتى اعماق الله.

¹⁰But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

¹¹لان من من الناس يعرف امور الانسان الا روح الانسان الذي فيه. هكذا ايضا امور الله لا يعرفها احد الا روح الله.

¹¹For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God’s Spirit.

¹²ونحن لم نأخذ روح العالم بل الروح الذي من الله لنعرف الاشياء الموهوبة لنا من الله

¹²But 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.

¹³التي نتكلم بها ايضا لا باقوال تعلّمها حكمة انسانية بل بما يعلّمه الروح القدس قارنين الروحيات بالروحيات.

¹³Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

¹⁴ولكن الانسان الطبيعي لا يقبل ما لروح الله لانه عنده جهالة. ولا يقدر ان يعرفه لانه انما يحكم فيه روحيا.

¹⁴Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

¹⁵واما الروحي فيحكم في كل شيء وهو لا يحكم فيه من احد.

¹⁵But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

¹⁶لانه من عرف فكر الرب فيعلمه. واما نحن فلنا فكر المسيح

¹⁶“For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?” Isaiah 40:13 But we have Christ’s mind.
