1 thiṣalanīkinaḥ 2
1 hē bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmanmadhyē 'smākaṁ pravēśō niṣphalō na jāta iti yūyaṁ svayaṁ jānītha|
For yourselves, brothers, know our entrance in to you, that it was not in vain:
2 aparaṁ yuṣmābhi ryathāśrāvi tathā pūrvvaṁ philipīnagarē kliṣṭā ninditāśca santō'pi vayam īśvarād utsāhaṁ labdhvā bahuyatnēna yuṣmān īśvarasya susaṁvādam abōdhayāma|
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 yatō'smākam ādēśō bhrāntēraśucibhāvād vōtpannaḥ pravañcanāyuktō vā na bhavati|
For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 kintvīśvarēṇāsmān parīkṣya viśvasanīyān mattvā ca yadvat susaṁvādō'smāsu samārpyata tadvad vayaṁ mānavēbhyō na rurōciṣamāṇāḥ kintvasmadantaḥkaraṇānāṁ parīkṣakāyēśvarāya rurōciṣamāṇā bhāṣāmahē|
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts.
5 vayaṁ kadāpi stutivādinō nābhavāmēti yūyaṁ jānītha kadāpi chalavastrēṇa lōbhaṁ nācchādayāmētyasmin īśvaraḥ sākṣī vidyatē|
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
6 vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya prēritā iva gauravānvitā bhavitum aśakṣyāma kintu yuṣmattaḥ parasmād vā kasmādapi mānavād gauravaṁ na lipsamānā yuṣmanmadhyē mr̥dubhāvā bhūtvāvarttāmahi|
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 yathā kācinmātā svakīyaśiśūn pālayati tathā vayamapi yuṣmān kāṅkṣamāṇā
But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children:
8 yuṣmabhyaṁ kēvalam īśvarasya susaṁvādaṁ tannahi kintu svakīyaprāṇān api dātuṁ manōbhirabhyalaṣāma, yatō yūyam asmākaṁ snēhapātrāṇyabhavata|
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted to you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you were dear to us.
9 hē bhrātaraḥ, asmākaṁ śramaḥ klēśaśca yuṣmābhiḥ smaryyatē yuṣmākaṁ kō'pi yad bhāragrastō na bhavēt tadarthaṁ vayaṁ divāniśaṁ pariśrāmyantō yuṣmanmadhya īśvarasya susaṁvādamaghōṣayāma|
For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
10 aparañca viśvāsinō yuṣmān prati vayaṁ kīdr̥k pavitratvayathārthatvanirdōṣatvācāriṇō'bhavāmētyasmin īśvarō yūyañca sākṣiṇa ādhvē|
You are witnesses, and God also, how piously and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 aparañca yadvat pitā svabālakān tadvad vayaṁ yuṣmākam ēkaikaṁ janam upadiṣṭavantaḥ sāntvitavantaśca,
As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 ya īśvaraḥ svīyarājyāya vibhavāya ca yuṣmān āhūtavān tadupayuktācaraṇāya yuṣmān pravarttitavantaścēti yūyaṁ jānītha|
That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you to his kingdom and glory.
13 yasmin samayē yūyam asmākaṁ mukhād īśvarēṇa pratiśrutaṁ vākyam alabhadhvaṁ tasmin samayē tat mānuṣāṇāṁ vākyaṁ na mattvēśvarasya vākyaṁ mattvā gr̥hītavanta iti kāraṇād vayaṁ nirantaram īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmaḥ, yatastad īśvarasya vākyam iti satyaṁ viśvāsināṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhyē tasya guṇaḥ prakāśatē ca|
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe.
14 hē bhrātaraḥ, khrīṣṭāśritavatya īśvarasya yāḥ samityō yihūdādēśē santi yūyaṁ tāsām anukāriṇō'bhavata, tadbhuktā lōkāśca yadvad yihūdilōkēbhyastadvad yūyamapi svajātīyalōkēbhyō duḥkham alabhadhvaṁ|
For you, brothers, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 tē yihūdīyāḥ prabhuṁ yīśuṁ bhaviṣyadvādinaśca hatavantō 'smān dūrīkr̥tavantaśca, ta īśvarāya na rōcantē sarvvēṣāṁ mānavānāṁ vipakṣā bhavanti ca;
Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 aparaṁ bhinnajātīyalōkānāṁ paritrāṇārthaṁ tēṣāṁ madhyē susaṁvādaghōṣaṇād asmān pratiṣēdhanti cētthaṁ svīyapāpānāṁ parimāṇam uttarōttaraṁ pūrayanti, kintu tēṣām antakārī krōdhastān upakramatē|
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come on them to the uttermost.
17 hē bhrātaraḥ manasā nahi kintu vadanēna kiyatkālaṁ yuṣmattō 'smākaṁ vicchēdē jātē vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ mukhāni draṣṭum atyākāṅkṣayā bahu yatitavantaḥ|
But we, brothers, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 dvirēkakr̥tvō vā yuṣmatsamīpagamanāyāsmākaṁ viśēṣataḥ paulasya mamābhilāṣō'bhavat kintu śayatānō 'smān nivāritavān|
Why we would have come to you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 yatō'smākaṁ kā pratyāśā kō vānandaḥ kiṁ vā ślāghyakirīṭaṁ? asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyāgamanakālē tatsammukhasthā yūyaṁ kiṁ tanna bhaviṣyatha?
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 yūyam ēvāsmākaṁ gauravānandasvarūpā bhavatha|
For you are our glory and joy.
