1 Tesaloniana 2
1 Inahareo, ry longo, ro toe mahafohiñe te tsy nianto i fitiliha’aiy.
For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
2 Rendre’ areo ka t’ie nalovilovy naho nonjireñe e Filipy añe; fe nirearea aman’ Añaharen-tika nitaroñe i talili-soan’ Añaharey ama’areo ndra te niindra’ i fanjeharañey.
but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
3 Toe tsy mifototse am-pandilarañe ndra haleorañe ndra famañahiañe ty fañosiha’ay;
For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
4 fe ninòn’ Añahare ty fanolorañ’ anay i talili-soay; aa ie taroñe’ay le tsy t’ie hahaehake ondaty fa ho an’ Andrianañahare mpitsoke o tro’aio.
But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
5 Fa fohi’ areo te le-lia tsy nanao kabeake an-drehake naho tsy nibatrake hanakona’ay fatitiañe (valolombeloñe t’i Andrianañahare),
For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
6 mbore tsy nipay lomboke am’ondatio, ndra ama’ areo ndra amo ila’eo. Toe mete ho nañeva anay, kanao Firàhe’ i Norizañey ty nampivave anahareo,
nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
7 te mone notroñe’ay hoe rakemba mampinono naho manombosombo i ana’ey.
But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
8 Akore ty fikokoa’ay anahareo kanao nahaehake anay te tsy vaho handiva i talili-soan’ Añaharey fa hamoe-ay ami’ty fañisoha’ay.
Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
9 Mete tiahi’ areo ry longo ty fitromaha’ay naho ty fifanehafa’ay; ie nitoloñe handro an-kaleñe tsy hiloetse ama’ ia’ia, nitaroñe i talili-soan’ Añaharey.
For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
10 Valolombeloñe nahareo naho i Andrianañahare te niavake naho vañoñe vaho nalio-tahiñe ty fañaveloa’ay ama’areo mpiato.
You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
11 Fohi’ areo ka t’ie nañosike naho nañohò vaho nandrisike anahareo kiraikiraike hambañe ami’ty rae amo ana’eo,
As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
12 hañaveloa’ areo hañeva an’ Andrianañahare mpikanjy anahareo ho am-pifehea’e naho añ’enge’e ao.
to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
13 Ie amy zao, tsy apo’ay ty mañandriañe an’ Andrianañahare nainai’e, amy te rinambe’ areo i tsaran’ Añahare nitaroña’aiy le tsy nandrambe aze ho tsara’ ondaty, fa ami’ty vente’e t’ie tsaran’ Añahare mpifanehake ama’areo mpiato.
For this cause we also thank God without ceasing that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, God’s word, which also works in you who believe.
14 Vaho nitsikombe’ areo ry longo, o Fivorin’ Añahare am’ Iesoà Norizañey e Iehodào, ie nifeake fampisoàñañe am-pità’ o mpitrao-borizàñe ama’eo toe o Tehodao,
For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews
15 ie songa vinono’ iareo t’Iesoà Talè naho o mpitokio, naho nandroake anay ka; ie tsy non’ Añahare vaho fonga mifandiets’ ama’ondaty,
who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,
16 ami’ty fisebaña’ iareo anay tsy hitaroñe amo kilakila ondatio handrombake iareo, ie manovon-kakeo nainai’e, fa ho takaren-kaviñerañe am-para’e.
forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
17 Fe zahay, ry longo, naho fa nasitake ama’ areo hey, an-tsandriñe fa tsy añ’ arofo, le àntsake t’ie nirototse naho nisalala fatratse te hahaoniñe o lahara’ areoo,
But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
18 fa sinda homb’ ama’ areo mb’eo; izaho Paoly mandikoatse te indraike, fe sineba’ i mpañìnjey.
because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
19 Ia ty ho fitamà’ay, ty haèha’ay, ty kobay hiriñariñà’ay añatrefa’ Iesoà Talèntika amy fitotsaha’ey? tsy inahareo hao?
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
20 Eka, inahareo ro enge’ay naho haeha’ay.
For you are our glory and our joy.
