1 Thessalonians 2
1 For, britheren, ye witen oure entre to you, for it was not veyn;
And you know, my brethren, that our entrance unto you was not in vain,
2 but first we suffriden, and weren punyschid with wrongis, as ye witen in Filippis, and hadden trust in oure Lord, to speke to you the gospel of God in myche bisynesse.
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.
3 And oure exortacioun is not of errour, nether of vnclennesse, nether in gile,
For our exhortation was not from deceit, nor from uncleanness, nor from guile;
4 but as we ben preued of God, that the gospel of God schulde be takun to vs, so we speken; not as plesynge to men, but to God that preueth oure hertis.
but as approved of Aloha to be intrusted with his gospel, so speaking as not to please men, but Aloha who trieth our hearts.
5 For nether we weren ony tyme in word of glosing, as ye witen, nether in occasioun of auerise; God is witnesse; nether sekinge glorie of men,
For never have we used flattering speech, as you know, nor for an occasion of covetousness, Aloha witnesseth.
6 nether of you,
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;
7 nether of othere, whanne we, as Cristis apostlis, miyten haue be in charge to you. But we weren maad litle in the myddil of you, as if a nursche fostre hir sones;
but we were humble among you, and, as a nurse who loveth her children,
8 so we desiringe you with greet loue, wolden haue bitake to you, not oneli the gospel of God, but also oure lyues, for ye ben maad most dereworthe to vs.
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.
9 For, britheren, ye ben myndeful of oure trauel and werynesse; we worchiden nyyt and day, that we schulden not greue ony of you, and prechiden to you the euangelie of God.
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.
10 God and ye ben witnessis, hou holili, and iustli, and with outen pleynt, we weren to you that bileueden.
You witness and Aloha, how we preached to you the gospel of Aloha, purely and justly, and were without blame with all the faithful.
11 As ye witen, hou we preyeden you, and coumfortiden ech of you, as the fadir hise sones,
As you know how every one of you, as a father his children, we exhorted, and spoke with your hearts;
12 and we han witnessid, that ye schulden go worthili to God, that clepide you in to his kingdom and glorie.
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.
13 Therfor we doon thankingis to God with outen ceessyng. For whanne ye hadden take of vs the word `of the heryng of God, ye token it not as the word of men, but as `it is verili, the word of God, that worchith in you that han bileued.
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.
14 For, britheren, ye ben maad foleweris of the chirchis of God, that ben in Jude, in Crist Jhesu, for ye han suffrid the same thingis of youre euene lynagis, as thei of the Jewis.
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;
15 Whiche slowen bothe the Lord Jhesu and the profetis, and pursueden vs, and thei plesen not to God, and thei ben aduersaries to alle men;
who killed our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and the prophets who were of them, and ourselves have persecuted, and Aloha have not pleased,
16 forbedinge vs to speke to hethene men, that thei be maad saaf, that thei fille her synnes euere more; for the wraththe of God cam on hem in to the ende.
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!
17 And, britheren, we desolat fro you for a tyme, bi mouth and in biholding, but not in herte, han hiyed more plenteuousli to se youre face with greet desir.
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,
18 For we wolden come to you, yhe, Y Poul, onys and eftsoone, but Sathanas lettide vs.
and have wished to come to you (even) I, Paulos, one time and two; but Satana hindered me.
19 For whi what is oure hope, or ioye, or coroun of glorie? Whether ye ben not bifore oure Lord Jhesu Crist in his comyng?
For what is our hope and our joy, and the crown of our glorying, but you, before our Lord Jeshu at his coming?
20 For ye ben oure glorie and ioye.
For you are our glory and our joy.
