1 Thessalonians 2
1 For ye your selues knowe, brethren, that our entrance in vnto you was not in vaine,
hE bhrAtaraH, yuSmanmadhyE 'smAkaM pravEzO niSphalO na jAta iti yUyaM svayaM jAnItha|
2 But euen after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated at Philippi, (as ye knowe) we were bolde in our God, to speake vnto you the Gospell of God with much striuing.
aparaM yuSmAbhi ryathAzrAvi tathA pUrvvaM philipInagarE kliSTA ninditAzca santO'pi vayam IzvarAd utsAhaM labdhvA bahuyatnEna yuSmAn Izvarasya susaMvAdam abOdhayAma|
3 For our exhortation was not by deceite, nor by vncleannes, nor by guile.
yatO'smAkam AdEzO bhrAntErazucibhAvAd vOtpannaH pravanjcanAyuktO vA na bhavati|
4 But as we were allowed of God, that the Gospel should be committed vnto vs, so we speake, not as they that please men, but God, which approoueth our hearts.
kintvIzvarENAsmAn parIkSya vizvasanIyAn mattvA ca yadvat susaMvAdO'smAsu samArpyata tadvad vayaM mAnavEbhyO na rurOciSamANAH kintvasmadantaHkaraNAnAM parIkSakAyEzvarAya rurOciSamANA bhASAmahE|
5 Neither yet did we euer vse flattering wordes, as ye knowe, nor coloured couetousnes, God is recorde.
vayaM kadApi stutivAdinO nAbhavAmEti yUyaM jAnItha kadApi chalavastrENa lObhaM nAcchAdayAmEtyasmin IzvaraH sAkSI vidyatE|
6 Neither sought we prayse of men, neither of you, nor of others, when we might haue bene chargeable, as the Apostles of Christ.
vayaM khrISTasya prEritA iva gauravAnvitA bhavitum azakSyAma kintu yuSmattaH parasmAd vA kasmAdapi mAnavAd gauravaM na lipsamAnA yuSmanmadhyE mRdubhAvA bhUtvAvarttAmahi|
7 But we were gentle among you, euen as a nource cherisheth her children.
yathA kAcinmAtA svakIyazizUn pAlayati tathA vayamapi yuSmAn kAgkSamANA
8 Thus being affectioned toward you, our good will was to haue dealt vnto you, not the Gospel of God onely, but also our owne soules, because ye were deare vnto vs.
yuSmabhyaM kEvalam Izvarasya susaMvAdaM tannahi kintu svakIyaprANAn api dAtuM manObhirabhyalaSAma, yatO yUyam asmAkaM snEhapAtrANyabhavata|
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and trauaile: for we laboured day and night, because we would not be chargeable vnto any of you, and preached vnto you the Gospel of God.
hE bhrAtaraH, asmAkaM zramaH klEzazca yuSmAbhiH smaryyatE yuSmAkaM kO'pi yad bhAragrastO na bhavEt tadarthaM vayaM divAnizaM parizrAmyantO yuSmanmadhya Izvarasya susaMvAdamaghOSayAma|
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and iustly, and vnblameably we behaued our selues among you that beleeue.
aparanjca vizvAsinO yuSmAn prati vayaM kIdRk pavitratvayathArthatvanirdOSatvAcAriNO'bhavAmEtyasmin IzvarO yUyanjca sAkSiNa AdhvE|
11 As ye knowe how that we exhorted you, and comforted, and besought euery one of you (as a father his children)
aparanjca yadvat pitA svabAlakAn tadvad vayaM yuSmAkam EkaikaM janam upadiSTavantaH sAntvitavantazca,
12 That ye would walke worthy of God, who hath called you vnto his kingdome and glorie.
ya IzvaraH svIyarAjyAya vibhavAya ca yuSmAn AhUtavAn tadupayuktAcaraNAya yuSmAn pravarttitavantazcEti yUyaM jAnItha|
13 For this cause also thanke we God without ceasing, that when ye receiued the worde of God, which ye heard of vs, ye receiued it not as the worde of men, but as it is in deede the worde of God, which also worketh in you that beleeue.
yasmin samayE yUyam asmAkaM mukhAd IzvarENa pratizrutaM vAkyam alabhadhvaM tasmin samayE tat mAnuSANAM vAkyaM na mattvEzvarasya vAkyaM mattvA gRhItavanta iti kAraNAd vayaM nirantaram IzvaraM dhanyaM vadAmaH, yatastad Izvarasya vAkyam iti satyaM vizvAsinAM yuSmAkaM madhyE tasya guNaH prakAzatE ca|
14 For brethren, ye are become folowers of the Churches of God, which in Iudea are in Christ Iesus, because ye haue also suffred the same things of your owne countrey men, euen as they haue of the Iewes,
hE bhrAtaraH, khrISTAzritavatya Izvarasya yAH samityO yihUdAdEzE santi yUyaM tAsAm anukAriNO'bhavata, tadbhuktA lOkAzca yadvad yihUdilOkEbhyastadvad yUyamapi svajAtIyalOkEbhyO duHkham alabhadhvaM|
15 Who both killed the Lord Iesus and their owne Prophets, and haue persecuted vs away, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men,
tE yihUdIyAH prabhuM yIzuM bhaviSyadvAdinazca hatavantO 'smAn dUrIkRtavantazca, ta IzvarAya na rOcantE sarvvESAM mAnavAnAM vipakSA bhavanti ca;
16 And forbid vs to preach vnto the Gentiles, that they might be saued, to fulfill their sinnes alwayes: for the wrath of God is come on them, to the vtmost.
aparaM bhinnajAtIyalOkAnAM paritrANArthaM tESAM madhyE susaMvAdaghOSaNAd asmAn pratiSEdhanti cEtthaM svIyapApAnAM parimANam uttarOttaraM pUrayanti, kintu tESAm antakArI krOdhastAn upakramatE|
17 For asmuch, brethren, as we were kept from you for a season, concerning sight, but not in the heart, we enforced the more to see your face with great desire.
hE bhrAtaraH manasA nahi kintu vadanEna kiyatkAlaM yuSmattO 'smAkaM vicchEdE jAtE vayaM yuSmAkaM mukhAni draSTum atyAkAgkSayA bahu yatitavantaH|
18 Therefore we would haue come vnto you (I Paul, at least once or twise) but Satan hindered vs.
dvirEkakRtvO vA yuSmatsamIpagamanAyAsmAkaM vizESataH paulasya mamAbhilASO'bhavat kintu zayatAnO 'smAn nivAritavAn|
19 For what is our hope or ioye, or crowne of reioycing? are not euen you it in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his comming?
yatO'smAkaM kA pratyAzA kO vAnandaH kiM vA zlAghyakirITaM? asmAkaM prabhO ryIzukhrISTasyAgamanakAlE tatsammukhasthA yUyaM kiM tanna bhaviSyatha?
20 Yea, ye are our glory and ioy.
