1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you was not in vain,
Ta ishato, nuuni hintteko biday mela gidonnayssa hinttee, hintte huu7en ereeta.
2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
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 our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Nuuni hinttena zoriday baleson woykko cimon woykko genen gidenna.
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing people, but God, who tests our hearts.
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 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed (God is witness),
Nu miishe yaaridi worddo hinttena sabbishe hintteko yoonnayssa loythidi ereeta; Xoossay nuus markka.
6 nor seeking glory from people (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Nuuni hinttefe gidin woykko hara asa oodefekka bonchcho koyibookko.
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
Nuuni Kiristtoosa hawaare gideyssada nuus koshshiyabaa immite gidi ekkanaw dandda7os, shin aaya ba nayta dichcheyssa mela hintte giddon ashkke gidida.
8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
Nu hinttena dosida gisho Xoossaa Wonggelaa hinttew shaako xalaala gidonnashin, nu de7uwakka hinttew immanaw giigida. Hintte nuus daro al77o.
9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
Nu ishato, nu oosuwanne nu daabura ereeta. Hinttew Xoossaa Wonggelaa odishe, hinttena waaysonna mela qammanne gallas oothida.
10 You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
Nu de7oy hintte ammaneyssata mataninne Xoossaa sinthan geeshshi, xillonne borettonnayssa gideyssas hintte markka.
11 As you know, as a father with his own children,
Nuuni hinttew huu7en huu7en yelidayssati bantta naytas haneyssada hanidayssa ereeta.
12 we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you to lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into 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 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as a human word, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
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 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Judeans;
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 both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and did not please God, and are hostile to all people;
He Ayhudeti Godaa Yesuusanne nabeta wodhdhidosona; qassi nuna goodidosona. Entti Xoossaa ufayssonayssatanne ase ubbaa ixxeyssata.
16 forbidding us to speak to those who are not Jewish that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
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 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
Shin nu ishato, nuuni nu qofan gidonnashin, ashon hinttefe shaakettidi guutha wode gam77idayssan hinttena daro laamotidi be7anaw koyida.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
Nu simmi hintteko baanaw koyida. Taani ta huu7en hintteko baanaw koyas, shin Xalahey nuna diggis.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Hiza, nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosi yaa wode, nu ufayssay woykko nu ceeqettiya nu kallachchay oonee? Hinttena gidekketiyye?
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Tuma hintte nu bonchchonne nu ufayssi.
