1 Tesaloniana 2
1 Fa ny tenanareo, ry rahalahy, dia mahalala fa tsy foana ny fidiranay tatỳ aminareo;
For ye yourselves know, brothers, our entrance with you, that it has not become empty.
2 fa rehefa nampahorina sy nisetrasetrana tany Filipy izahay teo aloha, tahaka ny fantatrareo ihany, dia sahy tao amin’ Andriamanitray izahay hiteny taminareo ny filazantsaran’ Andriamanitra, na dia be aza ny fanoherana.
But having suffered before and been mistreated in Philippi, as ye know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God within much conflict.
3 Fa ny fananaranay dia tsy avy amin’ ny fitaka, na ny fahalotoana, na ny soloky.
For our exhortation is not from error, nor from uncleanness, nor in deception,
4 Fa tahaka ny nankasitrahan’ Andriamanitra anay, ka notolorana ny filazantsara ho adidinay izahay, dia araka izany koa no itenenanay, tsy toy ny mila sitraka amin’ olona, fa amin’ Andriamanitra, Izay mizaha toetra ny fonay.
but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, thus we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who proves our hearts.
5 Fa tsy nanao teny mandrobo akory izahay na oviana na oviana, tahaka ny fantatrareo ihany, na nihatsaravelatsihy hanafina fieremana (Andriamanitra no vavolombelona);
For we came neither in word of flattery (at any time as ye know) nor a pretense of greed (God is witness)
6 ary tsy nitady voninahitra tamin’ olona izahay, na taminareo, na tamin’ ny sasany, na dia nanam-pahefana hahavaky tratra aza izahay, araka izay mah’ Apostolin’ i Kristy anay.
nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others. While able to bear down as apostles of Christ,
7 Fa nalemy fanahy teo aminareo izahay, tahaka ny reny mitaiza ny zanany naterany,
nevertheless we became gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse cherishes her own children.
8 dia toy izany no nahazoto anay, noho ny fitiavanay anareo indrindra; hanome anareo, tsy ny filazantsaran’ Andriamanitra ihany, fa ny ainay koa aza, satria efa malalanay ianareo.
Thus being desirous of you, we were pleased to impart to you, not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because ye have become beloved to us.
9 Fa tsaroanareo, ry rahalahy, ny fikelezanay aina sy ny fisasaranay; fa niasa andro aman’ alina, mba tsy hahavaky tratra na dia olona iray akory taminareo aza, no nitorianay ny filazantsaran’ Andriamanitra taminareo.
For ye remember, brothers, our labor and the hardship. For, laboring night and day in order not to burden any of you, we preached to you the good news of God.
10 Hianareo no vavolombelona ary Andriamanitra koa fa masìna sy marina ary tsy nanan-tsiny tokoa ny fitondran-tenanay teo imasonareo izay mino,
Ye are witnesses, and God, how piously and justly and blamelessly we became to you who believe,
11 toy ny fantatrareo fa tahaka ny ray amin’ ny zanaka no namporisihanay sy nampiononanay anareo isam-batana sy nananaranay mafy anareo,
just as ye know, as each one of you as a father of his own children, imploring you, and comforting,
12 mba handehananareo miendrika an’ Andriamanitra, Izay miantso anareo ho amin’ ny fanjakany sy ny voninahiny.
and solemnly declaring for you to walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
13 Ary noho izany izahay koa dia tsy mitsahatra misaotra an’ Andriamanitra, satria rehefa nandray ny tenin’ Andriamanitra izay notorinay ianareo, dia tsy noraisinareo ho tenin’ olona, fa araka izay marina, dia ny tenin’ Andriamanitra, izay miasa anatinareo izay mino koa.
And because of this we thank God without ceasing, because, having received the word of God heard from us, ye received not the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.
14 Fa ianareo, ry rahalahy, dia efa tahaka ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra any Jodia izay amin’ i Kristy Jesosy; fa ny nanjo anareo noho ny nataon’ ny iray firenena aminareo dia sahafa amin’ ny nanjo ireo koa noho ny nataon’ ny Jiosy taminy,
For ye, brothers, became imitators of the congregations of God, which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because ye also suffered the same things by your own countrymen, just as also they by the Jews.
15 izay namono an’ i Jesosy Tompo sy ny mpaminany koa ary nandroaka anay sady tsy manao ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra ary manohitra ny olona rehetra,
The men who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and who persecuted us, and are not pleasing to God, and are contrary to all men.
16 ka mandrara anay tsy hitory amin’ ny jentilisa mba tsy hamonjena ireny, mba hameno ny fahotan’ ny tenany mandrakariva; kanjo efa niharan’ ny fahatezerana hatramin’ ny farany izy.
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles so that they might be saved, in order to fill up their sins always. But wrath came upon them finally.
17 Ary izahay, ry rahalahy, rehefa tafasaraka taminareo vetivety foana tamin’ ny fanatrehana, fa tsy tamin’ ny fo, dia vao mainka nitady sy naniry fatratra hahita ny tavanareo.
But we, brothers, who were orphaned from you for the time of an hour, in presence not in heart, hastened more earnestly to see your face, with much desire.
18 Koa naniry hankany aminareo indray mandeha amana indroa izahay, dia izaho Paoly; nefa nosakanan’ i Satana izahay.
Therefore we wanted to come to you, indeed I, Paul, even once and again, and Satan hindered us.
19 Fa inona moa no fanantenanay, na fifalianay, na satro-boninahitra reharehanay? Moa tsy ianareo eo anatrehan’ i Jesosy Tompontsika amin’ ny fihaviany va?
For what is our hope or joy or crown of boast? Or is it not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
20 Fa ianareo no voninahitray sy fifalianay.
For ye are our glory and joy.
