1 Thessalonians 2
1 For yourselves have known, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it did not become vain,
Nam ipsi scitis, fratres, introitum nostrum ad vos, quia non inanis fuit:
2 but having both suffered before, and having been injuriously treated (as ye have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the good news of God in much conflict,
sed ante passi, et contumeliis affecti (sicut scitis) in Philippis, fiduciam habuimus in Deo nostro loqui ad vos Evangelium Dei in multa solicitudine.
3 for our exhortation [is] not out of deceit, nor out of uncleanness, nor in guile,
Exhortatio enim nostra non de errore, neque de immunditia, neque in dolo,
4 but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,
sed sicut probati sumus a Deo ut crederetur nobis Evangelium: ita loquimur non quasi hominibus placentes, sed Deo, qui probat corda nostra.
5 for at no time did we come with speech of flattery, (as ye have known, ) nor in a pretext for covetousness, (God [is] witness!)
Neque enim aliquando fuimus in sermone adulationis, sicut scitis: neque in occasione avaritiæ: Deus testis est:
6 nor seeking of men glory, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ's apostles.
nec quærentes ab hominibus gloriam, neque a vobis, neque ab aliis.
7 But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,
Cum possemus vobis oneri esse ut Christi Apostoli: sed facti sumus parvuli in medio vestrum, tamquam si nutrix foveat filios suos.
8 so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because beloved ye have become to us,
Ita desiderantes vos, cupide volebamus tradere vobis non solum Evangelium Dei, sed etiam animas nostras: quoniam charissimi nobis facti estis.
9 for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;
Memores enim estis fratres laboris nostri, et fatigationis: nocte ac die operantes, ne quem vestrum gravaremus, prædicavimus in vobis Evangelium Dei.
10 ye [are] witnesses — God also — how kindly and righteously, and blamelessly to you who believe we became,
Vos testes estis, et Deus, quam sancte, et iuste, et sine querela, vobis, qui credidistis, fuimus:
11 even as ye have known, how each one of you, as a father his own children, we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying,
sicut scitis, qualiter unumquemque vestrum (sicut pater filios suos)
12 for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His own reign and glory.
deprecantes vos, et consolantes, testificati sumus, ut ambularetis digne Deo, qui vocavit vos in suum regnum, et gloriam.
13 Because of this also, we — we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;
Ideo et nos gratias agimus Deo sine intermissione: quoniam cum accepissetis a nobis verbum auditus Dei, accepistis illud, non ut verbum hominum, sed (sicut est vere) verbum Dei, qui operatur in vobis, qui credidistis.
14 for ye became imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because such things ye suffered, even ye, from your own countrymen, as also they from the Jews,
vos enim imitatores facti estis fratres Ecclesiarum Dei, quæ sunt in Iudæa in Christo Iesu: quia eadem passi estis et vos a contribulibus vestris, sicut et ipsi a Iudæis:
15 who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men [are] contrary,
qui et Dominum occiderunt Iesum, et Prophetas, et nos persecuti sunt, et Deo non placent, et omnibus hominibus adversantur,
16 forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them — to the end!
prohibentes nos Gentibus loqui ut salvæ fiant, ut impleant peccata sua semper: pervenit enim ira Dei super illos usque in finem.
17 And we, brethren, having been taken from you for the space of an hour — in presence, not in heart — did hasten the more abundantly to see your face in much desire,
Nos autem fratres desolati a vobis ad tempus horæ, aspectu, non corde, abundantius festinavimus faciem vestram videre cum multo desiderio:
18 wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul, ) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;
quoniam voluimus venire ad vos: ego quidem Paulus, et semel, et iterum, sed impedivit nos satanas.
19 for what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?
Quæ est enim nostra spes, aut gaudium, aut corona gloriæ? Nonne vos ante Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum estis in adventu eius?
20 for ye are our glory and joy.
vos enim estis gloria nostra et gaudium.
