1 Thessalonians 2
1 And you know, my brethren, that our entrance unto you was not in vain,
αυτοι γαρ οιδατε αδελφοι την εισοδον ημων την προσ υμασ οτι ου κενη γεγονεν
2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, in Philipos, and then (even) in great conflict we spoke with you with the confidence of our God the gospel of the Meshiha.
αλλα προπαθοντεσ και υβρισθεντεσ καθωσ οιδατε εν φιλιπποισ επαρρησιασαμεθα εν τω θεω ημων λαλησαι προσ υμασ το ευαγγελιον του θεου εν πολλω αγωνι
3 For our exhortation was not from deceit, nor from uncleanness, nor from guile;
η γαρ παρακλησισ ημων ουκ εκ πλανησ ουδε εξ ακαθαρσιασ ουτε εν δολω
4 but as approved of Aloha to be intrusted with his gospel, so speaking as not to please men, but Aloha who trieth our hearts.
αλλα καθωσ δεδοκιμασμεθα υπο του θεου πιστευθηναι το ευαγγελιον ουτωσ λαλουμεν ουχ ωσ ανθρωποισ αρεσκοντεσ αλλα τω θεω τω δοκιμαζοντι τασ καρδιασ ημων
5 For never have we used flattering speech, as you know, nor for an occasion of covetousness, Aloha witnesseth.
ουτε γαρ ποτε εν λογω κολακειασ εγενηθημεν καθωσ οιδατε ουτε εν προφασει πλεονεξιασ θεοσ μαρτυσ
6 Neither have we sought glory from men, either from you or from others, though we could have been honoured ones, as the apostles of the Meshiha;
ουτε ζητουντεσ εξ ανθρωπων δοξαν ουτε αφ υμων ουτε απο αλλων δυναμενοι εν βαρει ειναι ωσ χριστου αποστολοι
7 but we were humble among you, and, as a nurse who loveth her children,
αλλ εγενηθημεν ηπιοι εν μεσω υμων ωσ αν τροφοσ θαλπη τα εαυτησ τεκνα
8 so also we loved, and were desirous to impart to you, not only the gospel of Aloha, but also our life, because we loved you.
ουτωσ ομειρομενοι υμων ευδοκουμεν μεταδουναι υμιν ου μονον το ευαγγελιον του θεου αλλα και τασ εαυτων ψυχασ διοτι αγαπητοι ημιν γεγενησθε
9 Remember, therefore, my brethren, how we laboured and toiled in the work of our hands by night and by day, that we might not be a burden on one of you.
μνημονευετε γαρ αδελφοι τον κοπον ημων και τον μοχθον νυκτοσ γαρ και ημερασ εργαζομενοι προσ το μη επιβαρησαι τινα υμων εκηρυξαμεν εισ υμασ το ευαγγελιον του θεου
10 You witness and Aloha, how we preached to you the gospel of Aloha, purely and justly, and were without blame with all the faithful.
υμεισ μαρτυρεσ και ο θεοσ ωσ οσιωσ και δικαιωσ και αμεμπτωσ υμιν τοισ πιστευουσιν εγενηθημεν
11 As you know how every one of you, as a father his children, we exhorted, and spoke with your hearts;
καθαπερ οιδατε ωσ ενα εκαστον υμων ωσ πατηρ τεκνα εαυτου παρακαλουντεσ υμασ και παραμυθουμενοι
12 and (now) we testify to you how you should walk worthy of Aloha himself who hath called you to his kingdom and to his glory.
και μαρτυρομενοι εισ το περιπατησαι υμασ αξιωσ του θεου του καλουντοσ υμασ εισ την εαυτου βασιλειαν και δοξαν
13 WHEREFORE we also give thanks constantly unto Aloha, that the word of Aloha which you received from us, was not as the word of man (that) you received (it), but, as it is truly, the word of Aloha, which in operation worketh (alike) in you and in all them who believe.
δια τουτο και ημεισ ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω αδιαλειπτωσ οτι παραλαβοντεσ λογον ακοησ παρ ημων του θεου εδεξασθε ου λογον ανθρωπων αλλα καθωσ εστιν αληθωσ λογον θεου οσ και ενεργειται εν υμιν τοισ πιστευουσιν
14 But you, my brethren, have become like the churches of Aloha which are in Jihud, who are in Jeshu Meshiha, because you likewise suffer from your fellow-country-men, as they also from the Jihudoyee;
υμεισ γαρ μιμηται εγενηθητε αδελφοι των εκκλησιων του θεου των ουσων εν τη ιουδαια εν χριστω ιησου οτι τα αυτα επαθετε και υμεισ υπο των ιδιων συμφυλετων καθωσ και αυτοι υπο των ιουδαιων
15 who killed our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and the prophets who were of them, and ourselves have persecuted, and Aloha have not pleased,
των και τον κυριον αποκτειναντων ιησουν και τουσ ιδιουσ προφητασ και ημασ εκδιωξαντων και θεω μη αρεσκοντων και πασιν ανθρωποισ εναντιων
16 and have acted adversely to all men; who forbid us to speak with the Gentiles that they might be saved; to fill up their sins for all time: but upon them cometh the wrath unto the end!
κωλυοντων ημασ τοισ εθνεσιν λαλησαι ινα σωθωσιν εισ το αναπληρωσαι αυτων τασ αμαρτιασ παντοτε εφθασεν δε επ αυτουσ η οργη εισ τελοσ
17 BUT we, my brethren, having been bereaved-ones of you the time of an hour, as to our presence, but not in our heart, have been the more solicitous to see your faces with great love,
ημεισ δε αδελφοι απορφανισθεντεσ αφ υμων προσ καιρον ωρασ προσωπω ου καρδια περισσοτερωσ εσπουδασαμεν το προσωπον υμων ιδειν εν πολλη επιθυμια
18 and have wished to come to you (even) I, Paulos, one time and two; but Satana hindered me.
διο ηθελησαμεν ελθειν προσ υμασ εγω μεν παυλοσ και απαξ και δισ και ενεκοψεν ημασ ο σατανασ
19 For what is our hope and our joy, and the crown of our glorying, but you, before our Lord Jeshu at his coming?
τισ γαρ ημων ελπισ η χαρα η στεφανοσ καυχησεωσ η ουχι και υμεισ εμπροσθεν του κυριου ημων ιησου εν τη αυτου παρουσια
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
υμεισ γαρ εστε η δοξα ημων και η χαρα
