1 Thessalonians 2
1 You yourselves for know, brothers, the coming of us to you that not in vain has been;
he bhrAtaraH, yuShmanmadhye. asmAkaM pravesho niShphalo na jAta iti yUyaM svayaM jAnItha|
2 but (and *k*) having previously suffered and having been mistreated even as you know, in Philippi, we had boldness in the God of us to speak to you the gospel of God amid much conflict.
aparaM yuShmAbhi ryathAshrAvi tathA pUrvvaM philipInagare kliShTA ninditAshcha santo. api vayam IshvarAd utsAhaM labdhvA bahuyatnena yuShmAn Ishvarasya susaMvAdam abodhayAma|
3 For the exhortation of us [is] not of error nor of impurity (nor *N(k)O*) in trickery;
yato. asmAkam Adesho bhrAnterashuchibhAvAd votpannaH prava nchanAyukto vA na bhavati|
4 but even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as men pleasing but (*k*) as God who is examining the hearts of us.
kintvIshvareNAsmAn parIkShya vishvasanIyAn mattvA cha yadvat susaMvAdo. asmAsu samArpyata tadvad vayaM mAnavebhyo na rurochiShamANAH kintvasmadantaHkaraNAnAM parIkShakAyeshvarAya rurochiShamANA bhAShAmahe|
5 Never for at any time with word of flattery were we, even as you know, nor with a pretext for greed — God [is] witness —
vayaM kadApi stutivAdino nAbhavAmeti yUyaM jAnItha kadApi ChalavastreNa lobhaM nAchChAdayAmetyasmin IshvaraH sAkShI vidyate|
6 nor seeking from men glory nor from you nor from others, [though] having authority with weight to be as Christ’s apostles;
vayaM khrIShTasya preritA iva gauravAnvitA bhavitum ashakShyAma kintu yuShmattaH parasmAd vA kasmAdapi mAnavAd gauravaM na lipsamAnA yuShmanmadhye mR^idubhAvA bhUtvAvarttAmahi|
7 But we were (infants *N(K)O*) in [the] midst of you, as (maybe *N(k)O*) a nursing mother shall cherish her own children,
yathA kAchinmAtA svakIyashishUn pAlayati tathA vayamapi yuShmAn kA NkShamANA
8 So (yearning for *N(k)O*) you we were pleased to have imparted to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because beloved to us (you have become. *N(k)O*)
yuShmabhyaM kevalam Ishvarasya susaMvAdaM tannahi kintu svakIyaprANAn api dAtuM manobhirabhyalaShAma, yato yUyam asmAkaM snehapAtrANyabhavata|
9 You remember for, brothers, the labor of us and hardship: By night (for *k*) and day working in order not to burden anyone of you we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
he bhrAtaraH, asmAkaM shramaH kleshashcha yuShmAbhiH smaryyate yuShmAkaM ko. api yad bhAragrasto na bhavet tadarthaM vayaM divAnishaM parishrAmyanto yuShmanmadhya Ishvarasya susaMvAdamaghoShayAma|
10 You [are] witnesses and God, how holily and righteously and blamelessly toward you those believing we were,
apara ncha vishvAsino yuShmAn prati vayaM kIdR^ik pavitratvayathArthatvanirdoShatvAchAriNo. abhavAmetyasmin Ishvaro yUya ncha sAkShiNa Adhve|
11 just as you know how one each of you as a father children of himself exhorting you and comforting and (charging *N(k)O*)
apara ncha yadvat pitA svabAlakAn tadvad vayaM yuShmAkam ekaikaM janam upadiShTavantaH sAntvitavantashcha,
12 unto (to walk *N(k)O*) you worthily of God who is calling you to the His own kingdom and glory.
ya IshvaraH svIyarAjyAya vibhavAya cha yuShmAn AhUtavAn tadupayuktAcharaNAya yuShmAn pravarttitavantashcheti yUyaM jAnItha|
13 (And *no*) because of this also we ourselves give thanks to God unceasingly that having received [the] word [by your] hearing from us of God you accepted not [the] word of men but even as it is truly [the] word of God, which also works in you who believe.
yasmin samaye yUyam asmAkaM mukhAd IshvareNa pratishrutaM vAkyam alabhadhvaM tasmin samaye tat mAnuShANAM vAkyaM na mattveshvarasya vAkyaM mattvA gR^ihItavanta iti kAraNAd vayaM nirantaram IshvaraM dhanyaM vadAmaH, yatastad Ishvarasya vAkyam iti satyaM vishvAsinAM yuShmAkaM madhye tasya guNaH prakAshate cha|
14 you yourselves for imitators became, brothers, of the churches of God which are being in Judea in Christ Jesus, For (the [same] *N(K)O*) (these *N(k)O*) suffered also you yourselves from [your] own countrymen, even as also [did] they from the Jews,
he bhrAtaraH, khrIShTAshritavatya Ishvarasya yAH samityo yihUdAdeshe santi yUyaM tAsAm anukAriNo. abhavata, tadbhuktA lokAshcha yadvad yihUdilokebhyastadvad yUyamapi svajAtIyalokebhyo duHkham alabhadhvaM|
15 who both the Lord having killed Jesus and ([their] own *K*) prophets and (us *NK(O)*) having driven out and God not pleasing and to all men opposed,
te yihUdIyAH prabhuM yIshuM bhaviShyadvAdinashcha hatavanto. asmAn dUrIkR^itavantashcha, ta IshvarAya na rochante sarvveShAM mAnavAnAM vipakShA bhavanti cha;
16 they are hindering us to the Gentiles to speak that they may be saved, so as to fill up their sins always; Has come now upon them the wrath (of the God *O*) to the utmost.
aparaM bhinnajAtIyalokAnAM paritrANArthaM teShAM madhye susaMvAdaghoShaNAd asmAn pratiShedhanti chetthaM svIyapApAnAM parimANam uttarottaraM pUrayanti, kintu teShAm antakArI krodhastAn upakramate|
17 We ourselves however, brothers, having been bereaved of you for [the] time of an hour in face not in heart, more abundantly were eager the face of you to see with great desire.
he bhrAtaraH manasA nahi kintu vadanena kiyatkAlaM yuShmatto. asmAkaM vichChede jAte vayaM yuShmAkaM mukhAni draShTum atyAkA NkShayA bahu yatitavantaH|
18 (therefore *N(k)O*) we wanted to come to you — I myself indeed Paul both once and twice — and hindered us Satan.
dvirekakR^itvo vA yuShmatsamIpagamanAyAsmAkaM visheShataH paulasya mamAbhilASho. abhavat kintu shayatAno. asmAn nivAritavAn|
19 Who [is] for our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Except only even you before the Lord of us Jesus (Christ *K*) at His coming?
yato. asmAkaM kA pratyAshA ko vAnandaH kiM vA shlAghyakirITaM? asmAkaM prabho ryIshukhrIShTasyAgamanakAle tatsammukhasthA yUyaM kiM tanna bhaviShyatha?
20 You yourselves for are the glory of us and joy.
