2 Tasaloniiqee 1

1 Phaawulos, Silwaanosii fi Xiimotewos irraa, Gara Waldaa Kiristaanaa warra Tasaloniiqee kan Abbaa keenya Waaqaatii fi kan Gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoos taateetti:

[I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me. We are sending this letter] to [you]. You are the congregation [of God’s people] in Thessalonica [city]. You belong to God our Father, and you belong to Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Ayyaannii fi nagaan Waaqa Abbaa fi Gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoos irraa isiniif haa taʼu.

[We pray that] God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord, [will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to cause you to have inner] peace.

3 Yaa obboloota, sababii amantiin keessan baayʼee guddachaa, jaalalli hundi keessan walii keessaniif qabdanis ittuma dabalaa jiruuf nu yeroo hunda waaʼee keessaniif akka malutti Waaqa galateeffachuu qabna.

[Our] fellow believers, we thank God very frequently [HYP] for you because we believers ought [to thank God for each other, and] specifically it is appropriate/right [that we should thank God for you. We thank him] that you are trusting in [the Lord Jesus] more and more, and that each one of you is loving [each of] the others more and more.

4 Kanaafuu nu qorumsa isin obsitan sanaaf, ariʼatama hunda keessatti jabaattanii dhaabachuu keessanii fi amantii keessaniin waldoota Kiristaanaa Waaqaa keessatti sababii keessaniin of jajna.

As a result, we keep proudly telling about you to [other] congregations who [worship] God. [Specifically, we tell them] that you are being steadfast and that you [continue] believing [in the Lord Jesus], even though you are frequently suffering [DOU] as a result of people causing you trouble.

5 Kun hundinuu akka murtiin Waaqaa qajeelaa taʼe mulʼisa; sababii kanaafis isin warra mootummaa isaa kan dhiphachaafii jirtan sanaaf maltan ni taatu.

[Your being steadfast] (shows/indicates to) [us] clearly that God will judge [all people] justly. [Specifically, he] will publicly declare that you are worthy [as his people to be in] that place where he will rule [forever, because] you also are suffering as a result of [telling others about letting] God rule your lives.

6 Waaqni qajeelaa dha: Inni warra isin rakkisan ni rakkisa;

[God will certainly cause trouble for] those people who are troubling you, because he [considers] that it is just that he should punish such people for doing that to you.

7 isin warra rakkattaniif, nuufis boqonnaa ni kenna. Kunis yommuu Gooftaan Yesuus ibidda balaliʼuun ergamoota isaa humna qabeeyyii wajjin samii irraa mulʼatutti taʼa.

He also [considers] that it is the right thing to do to reward you who are being troubled, by (giving you relief/causing your suffering to end). He will do that for both you and us when our Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, together with his powerful angels and with blazing fire.

8 Inni warra Waaqa hin beeknee fi warra wangeela Gooftaa keenya Yesuusiif hin ajajamne ni adaba.

[Then he will] punish those people who do not [want to] know him and [those] who refuse to heed the message about our Lord Jesus.

9 Isaanis fuula Gooftaa duraa fi ulfina humna isaa irraa fageeffamanii badiisa bara baraatiin ni adabamu; (aiōnios g166)

[Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)

10 kunis guyyaa inni qulqulloota isaatiin kabajamuu fi warra amanan hundumaa gidduutti dinqisiifatamuuf dhufutti taʼa. Isinis waan dhuga baʼumsa keenya amantaniif isaanitti lakkaaʼamtu.

[The Lord Jesus] will do this when he comes [back from heaven] at the time [that God has decided]. As a result, all we who are his people will praise him because of [what he has done for his own] people, and all we believers will marvel at our Lord because of [what he has done. And you will be there, too], because you believed what we testified to you.

11 Nus waan kana yaadatti qabachaa, akka Waaqni keenya warra waamicha isaatiif malan isin godhuuf, humna isaatiinis kaayyoo keessan gaarii hundaa fi akka hojii amantii keessanii hunda fiixaan isinii baasuuf utuu gargar hin kutin isinii kadhanna.

In order that you might [praise Jesus like this], we are also praying very frequently [HYP] for you. We pray that [you will be able to show] our God that you are worthy [to receive] that which he chose [you to receive]. We pray also that he would powerfully enable you to do good in every way that you desire, and that he would also enable you to do powerfully every [good] thing [that you do because] you believe [in Jesus Christ].

12 Nus akkuma ayyaana Waaqa keenyaattii fi Gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitti akka maqaan Gooftaa keenya Yesuus isiniin kabajamuu fi akka isinis isaan kabajamtaniif waan kana kadhanna.

[We pray this because we want] you to praise our Lord Jesus, and we want him to honor you. This will happen because God, whom we [worship/serve], and our Lord Jesus Christ will keep acting kindly [toward you] in ways that you do not deserve.
