1 Thessalonians 2
1 For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which [we had] to you, that it has not been in vain;
Nam ipsi scitis, fratres, introitum nostrum ad vos, quia non inanis fuit:
2 but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.
sed ante passi, et contumeliis affecti (sicut scitis) in Philippis, fiduciam habuimus in Deo nostro loqui ad vos Evangelium Dei in multa solicitudine.
3 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
Exhortatio enim nostra non de errore, neque de immunditia, neque in dolo,
4 but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.
sed sicut probati sumus a Deo ut crederetur nobis Evangelium: ita loquimur non quasi hominibus placentes, sed Deo, qui probat corda nostra.
5 For we have not at any time been [among you] with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God [is] witness;
Neque enim aliquando fuimus in sermone adulationis, sicut scitis: neque in occasione avaritiæ: Deus testis est:
6 nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
nec quærentes ab hominibus gloriam, neque a vobis, neque ab aliis.
7 but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
Cum possemus vobis oneri esse ut Christi Apostoli: sed facti sumus parvuli in medio vestrum, tamquam si nutrix foveat filios suos.
8 Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.
Ita desiderantes vos, cupide volebamus tradere vobis non solum Evangelium Dei, sed etiam animas nostras: quoniam charissimi nobis facti estis.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.
Memores enim estis fratres laboris nostri, et fatigationis: nocte ac die operantes, ne quem vestrum gravaremus, prædicavimus in vobis Evangelium Dei.
10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:
Vos testes estis, et Deus, quam sancte, et iuste, et sine querela, vobis, qui credidistis, fuimus:
11 as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,
sicut scitis, qualiter unumquemque vestrum (sicut pater filios suos)
12 that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
deprecantes vos, et consolantes, testificati sumus, ut ambularetis digne Deo, qui vocavit vos in suum regnum, et gloriam.
13 And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received [the] word of [the] report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe.
Ideo et nos gratias agimus Deo sine intermissione: quoniam cum accepissetis a nobis Verbum auditus Dei, accepistis illud, non ut verbum hominum, sed (sicut est vere) Verbum Dei, qui operatur in vobis, qui credidistis.
14 For ye, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also they of the Jews,
Vos enim imitatores facti estis fratres Ecclesiarum Dei, quæ sunt in Iudæa in Christo Iesu: quia eadem passi estis et vos a contribulibus vestris, sicut et ipsi a Iudæis:
15 who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and [are] against all men,
qui et Dominum occiderunt Iesum, et Prophetas, et nos persecuti sunt, et Deo non placent, et omnibus hominibus adversantur,
16 forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
prohibentes nos Gentibus loqui ut salvæ fiant, ut impleant peccata sua semper: pervenit enim ira Dei super illos usque in finem.
17 But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;
Nos autem fratres desolati a vobis ad tempus horæ, aspectu, non corde, abundantius festinavimus faciem vestram videre cum multo desiderio:
18 wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
quoniam voluimus venire ad vos: ego quidem Paulus, et semel, et iterum, sed impedivit nos Satanas.
19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not ye also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Quæ est enim nostra spes, aut gaudium, aut corona gloriæ? Nonne vos ante Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum estis in adventu eius?
20 for ye are our glory and joy.
Vos enim estis gloria nostra et gaudium.
