1 Thessalonians 2
1 For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which [we had] to you, that it has not been in vain;
Inahareo, ry longo, ro toe mahafohiñe te tsy nianto i fitiliha’aiy.
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.
Rendre’ areo ka t’ie nalovilovy naho nonjireñe e Filipy añe; fe nirearea aman’ Añaharen-tika nitaroñe i talili-soan’ Añaharey ama’areo ndra te niindra’ i fanjeharañey.
3 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
Toe tsy mifototse am-pandilarañe ndra haleorañe ndra famañahiañe ty fañosiha’ay;
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.
fe ninòn’ Añahare ty fanolorañ’ anay i talili-soay; aa ie taroñe’ay le tsy t’ie hahaehake ondaty fa ho an’ Andrianañahare mpitsoke o tro’aio.
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;
Fa fohi’ areo te le-lia tsy nanao kabeake an-drehake naho tsy nibatrake hanakona’ay fatitiañe (valolombeloñe t’i Andrianañahare),
6 nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
mbore tsy nipay lomboke am’ondatio, ndra ama’ areo ndra amo ila’eo. Toe mete ho nañeva anay, kanao Firàhe’ i Norizañey ty nampivave anahareo,
7 but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
te mone notroñe’ay hoe rakemba mampinono naho manombosombo i ana’ey.
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.
Akore ty fikokoa’ay anahareo kanao nahaehake anay te tsy vaho handiva i talili-soan’ Añaharey fa hamoe-ay ami’ty fañisoha’ay.
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.
Mete tiahi’ areo ry longo ty fitromaha’ay naho ty fifanehafa’ay; ie nitoloñe handro an-kaleñe tsy hiloetse ama’ ia’ia, nitaroñe i talili-soan’ Añaharey.
10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:
Valolombeloñe nahareo naho i Andrianañahare te niavake naho vañoñe vaho nalio-tahiñe ty fañaveloa’ay ama’areo mpiato.
11 as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,
Fohi’ areo ka t’ie nañosike naho nañohò vaho nandrisike anahareo kiraikiraike hambañe ami’ty rae amo ana’eo,
12 that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
hañaveloa’ areo hañeva an’ Andrianañahare mpikanjy anahareo ho am-pifehea’e naho añ’enge’e ao.
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.
Ie amy zao, tsy apo’ay ty mañandriañe an’ Andrianañahare nainai’e, amy te rinambe’ areo i tsaran’ Añahare nitaroña’aiy le tsy nandrambe aze ho tsara’ ondaty, fa ami’ty vente’e t’ie tsaran’ Añahare mpifanehake ama’areo mpiato.
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,
Vaho nitsikombe’ areo ry longo, o Fivorin’ Añahare am’ Iesoà Norizañey e Iehodào, ie nifeake fampisoàñañe am-pità’ o mpitrao-borizàñe ama’eo toe o Tehodao,
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,
ie songa vinono’ iareo t’Iesoà Talè naho o mpitokio, naho nandroake anay ka; ie tsy non’ Añahare vaho fonga mifandiets’ ama’ondaty,
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.
ami’ty fisebaña’ iareo anay tsy hitaroñe amo kilakila ondatio handrombake iareo, ie manovon-kakeo nainai’e, fa ho takaren-kaviñerañe am-para’e.
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;
Fe zahay, ry longo, naho fa nasitake ama’ areo hey, an-tsandriñe fa tsy añ’ arofo, le àntsake t’ie nirototse naho nisalala fatratse te hahaoniñe o lahara’ areoo,
18 wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
fa sinda homb’ ama’ areo mb’eo; izaho Paoly mandikoatse te indraike, fe sineba’ i mpañìnjey.
19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not ye also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Ia ty ho fitamà’ay, ty haèha’ay, ty kobay hiriñariñà’ay añatrefa’ Iesoà Talèntika amy fitotsaha’ey? tsy inahareo hao?
20 for ye are our glory and joy.
Eka, inahareo ro enge’ay naho haeha’ay.
