1 Thessalonians 2
1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
Inahareo, ry longo, ro toe mahafohiñe te tsy nianto i fitiliha’aiy.
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
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.
3 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
Toe tsy mifototse am-pandilarañe ndra haleorañe ndra famañahiañe ty fañosiha’ay;
4 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 trieth our hearts.
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.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:
Fa fohi’ areo te le-lia tsy nanao kabeake an-drehake naho tsy nibatrake hanakona’ay fatitiañe (valolombeloñe t’i Andrianañahare),
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
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,
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
te mone notroñe’ay hoe rakemba mampinono naho manombosombo i ana’ey.
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
Akore ty fikokoa’ay anahareo kanao nahaehake anay te tsy vaho handiva i talili-soan’ Añaharey fa hamoe-ay ami’ty fañisoha’ay.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
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.
10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
Valolombeloñe nahareo naho i Andrianañahare te niavake naho vañoñe vaho nalio-tahiñe ty fañaveloa’ay ama’areo mpiato.
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father [doth] his children,
Fohi’ areo ka t’ie nañosike naho nañohò vaho nandrisike anahareo kiraikiraike hambañe ami’ty rae amo ana’eo,
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
hañaveloa’ areo hañeva an’ Andrianañahare mpikanjy anahareo ho am-pifehea’e naho añ’enge’e ao.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
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.
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they [have] of the Jews:
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,
15 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:
ie songa vinono’ iareo t’Iesoà Talè naho o mpitokio, naho nandroake anay ka; ie tsy non’ Añahare vaho fonga mifandiets’ ama’ondaty,
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
ami’ty fisebaña’ iareo anay tsy hitaroñe amo kilakila ondatio handrombake iareo, ie manovon-kakeo nainai’e, fa ho takaren-kaviñerañe am-para’e.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
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,
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
fa sinda homb’ ama’ areo mb’eo; izaho Paoly mandikoatse te indraike, fe sineba’ i mpañìnjey.
19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
Ia ty ho fitamà’ay, ty haèha’ay, ty kobay hiriñariñà’ay añatrefa’ Iesoà Talèntika amy fitotsaha’ey? tsy inahareo hao?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
Eka, inahareo ro enge’ay naho haeha’ay.
