Sie Thessalonica 2
1 Mwet wiasr in lulalfongi, kowos sifacna etu lah muta lasr inmasrlowos ah tia wangin sripa.
For you have known, brothers, that our entrance to you has not been in vain,
2 Kowos nuna etu luman mwe keok ac kas in akkoluk ma orek nu sesr in acn Philippi meet liki kut tuku nu yuruwos. Ac finne oasr alein yohk orek, God lasr El akpulaikye kut in fahkak nu suwos Pweng Wo su tuku sel me.
but having both suffered before, and having been mistreated (as you have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God in much conflict,
3 Kas in kwafe lasr nu suwos tia ma ke ma sutuu, ku ke inkanek fohkfok, ku ma in kiapwela kutena mwet.
for our exhortation [is] not out of deceit, nor out of uncleanness, nor in guile,
4 A pacl nukewa kut fahkak ma God El lungse kut in fahk, mweyen El srike kut tari, ac ase kunasr in fahkak Pweng Wo. Ouinge kut tia srike in akinsewowoye mwet, a in akinsewowoye God.
but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,
5 Kowos arulana etu lah kut tia orekmakin kas in aklukuk nu suwos, ku srike in eis ma lowos ke sripen kut nunku kacsr sifacna — God El etu lah pwaye.
for at no time did we come with speech of flattery (as you have known), nor in a pretext for covetousness (God [is] witness),
6 Kut tia suk kaksak sin kutena mwet — tia ma suwos me ku sin mwet ngia,
nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ’s apostles.
7 finne pwaye lah kut mwet sap lun Christ, ac fal tuh kut in eis mwe enenu lasr suwos. A kut tuh inse kulang na ke kut muta yuruwos ah, oana sie nina ke el karingin tulik natul sifacna.
But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may nurture her own children,
8 Ke sripen lungse lasr nu suwos, kut tuh akola in sot nu suwos Pweng Wo lun God ac oayapa moul lasr sifacna, mweyen kowos arulana saok sesr!
so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because you have become beloved to us,
9 Mwet lili ac lulu, kowos esam na ouiyen orekma upa ac toasr lasr inmasrlowos! Kut orekma ke len ac fong tuh kut in tia akkwacoye kowos ke kut fahkak Pweng Wo sin God.
for you remember, brothers, our labor and travail, for working night and day not to be a burden on any of you, we preached the good news of God to you;
10 Kowos mwet loh lasr, ac oayapa God, lah orekma lasr inmasrlowos mwet lulalfongi, tuh nasnas, suwohs, ac wangin kutu srisrik mwatasr.
you [are] witnesses—God also—how piously and righteously and blamelessly we became to you who believe,
11 Kowos etu na lah kut karingin kais sie suwos oana ke sie papa el karingin tulik natul sifacna.
even as you have known how we are exhorting each one of you, as a father his own children, and comforting, and testifying,
12 Kut tuh akkeye kowos ac akwoye nunkowos, ac pacl nukewa kut tuh kwafe kowos in moulkin ouiyen moul ma ac akinsewowoye God, su pangon kowos in welul in tokosrai lal ac ipeis ke wolana lal.
for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His own kingdom and glory.
13 Oasr pac sie sripa ma pwanang kut in sang kulo nu sin God pacl nukewa: ke kut tuh fahkak kas lun God nu suwos, kowos tuh porongo ac eis, tia oana kas lun mwet uh, a kas na pwaye sin God me. Tuh God El orekma in kowos su lulalfongi.
And because of this we also continually give thanks to God, that, having received the word of God [by] your hearing from us, you accepted, not the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, who also works in you who believe;
14 Mwet wiasr in lulalfongi, ma orek nu suwos ingan orek pac nu sin mwet in church lun God in acn Judea, aok nu sin mwet lun Jesus Christ in acn we. Akkeokyeyuk kowos sin mwet wiowos oapana mwe keok ma orek nu selos sin mwet Jew,
for you became imitators, brothers, of the assemblies of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you suffered such things, even you, from your own countrymen, as they also from the Jews,
15 su unilya Leum Jesus ac mwet palu, ac oayapa liskutla liki acn sesr. Elos tuh arulana akkasrkusrakye God, ac elos nunak sulallal nu sin mwet nukewa!
who put to death both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and persecuted us, and they are not pleasing God, and [are] contrary to all men,
16 Elos srike pac in ikol kut tuh kut in tia fahkak kas lun God nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew — kas su ac mwe molela nu selos. Ma koluk lalos inge arulana alukela ma koluk nukewa elos oru pacl nukewa. Ac inge, kasrkusrak lun God putati nu faclos!
forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, so as to always fill up their sins, but [God’s] anger came on them—to the end!
17 Inge, mwet lili ac lulu, ke kitin pacl ma lisyukla kut liki kowos — aok ke manosr, tuh tia in nunak lasr — kut asroekowosla ac srike ke kuiyasr in sifilpa liye kowos!
And we, brothers, having been taken from you for the space of an hour—in presence, not in heart—hurried more abundantly to see your face in much desire;
18 Kut kena in sifil folokot nu yuruwos. Pacl pus nga sifacna srike ngan folokot nu yuruwos, tuh Satan el ikolkuti.
for this reason we wished to come to you (I, indeed, Paul), both once and again, and Satan hindered us;
19 Aok, ye mutun Leum lasr Jesus ke el ac tuku, kowos — ac tia kutena mwet saya! — pa mwe finsrak lasr, ac mwe engan lasr, ac mwe konkin lasr, oana sie tefuro in kutangla.
for what [is] our hope, or joy, or garland of rejoicing? Are not even you before our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
20 Pwaye, kowos pa mwe konkin ac mwe engan lasr uh.
For you are our glory and joy.
