1 Thessalonians 2
1 Brothers and sisters, you yourselves know what our visit meant to you, and that it wasn't wasted!
Ta ishato, nuuni hintteko biday mela gidonnayssa hinttee, hintte huu7en ereeta.
2 You'll recall that after having had much trouble and bad treatment at Philippi, with the help of God we still dared to share God's good news with you, despite the opposition we faced.
Shin nuuni hintteko Teselonqe yaanappe sinthe Filphisiyuusa kataman waayettidayssanne cayettidayssa hintte ereeta. Daro ixoy de7ikkoka hinttew iya Wonggelaa odana mela Xoossay nuus minotethi immis.
3 For what we speak about isn't deceptive, or worthless, or fraudulent.
Nuuni hinttena zoriday baleson woykko cimon woykko genen gidenna.
4 On the contrary, we have God's approval for what we say—he's entrusted us with sharing the good news. We don't set out to please people, but God. He's the one who judges our motives.
Shin Xoossay nunan ammanettidi ba Wonggelaa odana mela nuus hadara immida gisho odoos. Nu hessa oothey nu wozanaa be7iya Xoossaa ufayssanaassafe attin ase ufayssanaassa gidenna.
5 As you know, we've never used flattering words. Nor were we covering up some greedy, selfish attitude—as God is our witness!
Nu miishe yaaridi worddo hinttena sabbishe hintteko yoonnayssa loythidi ereeta; Xoossay nuus markka.
6 We weren't trying to win anybody's praise—not from you, nor anyone else. We could have become a “burden” to you as messengers of Christ,
Nuuni hinttefe gidin woykko hara asa oodefekka bonchcho koyibookko.
7 but instead we acted kindly among you, like a mother caring for her own children.
Nuuni Kiristtoosa hawaare gideyssada nuus koshshiyabaa immite gidi ekkanaw dandda7os, shin aaya ba nayta dichcheyssa mela hintte giddon ashkke gidida.
8 We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not just God's good news, but also our very own selves, because you had become so dear to us.
Nu hinttena dosida gisho Xoossaa Wonggelaa hinttew shaako xalaala gidonnashin, nu de7uwakka hinttew immanaw giigida. Hintte nuus daro al77o.
9 Don't you remember, brothers and sisters, all our hard work— working day and night so we wouldn't be a burden to any of you as we shared God's good news with you?
Nu ishato, nu oosuwanne nu daabura ereeta. Hinttew Xoossaa Wonggelaa odishe, hinttena waaysonna mela qammanne gallas oothida.
10 You yourselves can testify as to how we acted, and God can too—how we treated you believers with a holy attitude, fairly and blamelessly.
Nu de7oy hintte ammaneyssata mataninne Xoossaa sinthan geeshshi, xillonne borettonnayssa gideyssas hintte markka.
11 You know how we cared for every one of you like a father caring for his own children. We encouraged you, comforted you, and shared with you our experience
Nuuni hinttew huu7en huu7en yelidayssati bantta naytas haneyssada hanidayssa ereeta.
12 so that you could live as God would want you to live—the God who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
Nu hinttena zorida, minthethida. Qassi ba kawotethaanne ba bonchchuwa shaakkanaw hinttena xeegiya Xoossaa ufayssiya de7o hintte daana mela hinttew minthidi odida.
13 Another thing: we're always thanking God that when you heard and accepted the word of God, you didn't treat it as some human words, but what it truly is, the word of God. This is what is at work in those of you who trust in him.
Hinttew nuuni Xoossaa qaalaa odida wode asa qaalada gidonnashin, Xoossaa qaalada si7idi ekkida gisho nuuni ubba wode Xoossaa galatoos. I tuma Xoossaa qaala; Xoossaa qaalay ammaniyaa hinttenan oothees.
14 The experience you brothers and sisters have had imitates that of God's churches that belong to Christ Jesus in Judaea. Just like your fellow Jewish Christians you suffered as they did at the hands of the Jewish leaders
Ta ishato, hintte Yihuda biittan de7iya woosa keethatanne yan Kiristtoos Yesuusa kaalliya asatada hanideta. Entta Ayhudeti waaysidayssada hinttenakka hintte biittaa asay waaysidosona.
15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and chased us out. They don't please God and they are hostile to everyone,
He Ayhudeti Godaa Yesuusanne nabeta wodhdhidosona; qassi nuna goodidosona. Entti Xoossaa ufayssonayssatanne ase ubbaa ixxeyssata.
16 trying to prevent us from speaking to the other nations to prevent them from being saved. They're always sinning to the maximum extent, but for them full judgment has arrived!
Entti hari attoshin, Ayhude gidonna asay attana mela nuuni enttaw qaalaa odeyssa diggoosona. Hessada hanidi entta nagaraa xuu7ay kumana gakkanaw ubba wode nagara oothoosona. Wurssethan, Xoossaa hanqoy entta bolla wodhdhees.
17 Brothers and sisters, since we felt as if we'd experienced a family separation because we hadn't seen you for a while (separated physically though not in spirit), we tried even harder to come and see you again face to face because that's what we wanted to do.
Shin nu ishato, nuuni nu qofan gidonnashin, ashon hinttefe shaakettidi guutha wode gam77idayssan hinttena daro laamotidi be7anaw koyida.
18 We really wanted to come and visit you, and I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan stopped us.
Nu simmi hintteko baanaw koyida. Taani ta huu7en hintteko baanaw koyas, shin Xalahey nuna diggis.
19 For what gives us hope, what makes us happy, what we are really proud of as we stand before our Lord Jesus Christ when he comes back—is having you there too!
Hiza, nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosi yaa wode, nu ufayssay woykko nu ceeqettiya nu kallachchay oonee? Hinttena gidekketiyye?
20 You are our pride and joy!
Tuma hintte nu bonchchonne nu ufayssi.
