1 Tesaloniika 2
1 Waayo, walaalayaalow, waxaad og tihiin imaatinkayagii aannu idiin nimid inuusan noqon mid aan waxtar lahayn.
My fellow believers, you know that our time with you was very worthwhile/effective [LIT].
2 Laakiinse annagoo awil aad ugu xanuunsannay oo lanagu ceebeeyey Filiboy, sidaad og tihiin, waxaannu ku dhiirranaannay Ilaaheenna inaannu injiilka Ilaah idiin sheegno annagoo dhib badan ku jirna.
Although [people] in Philippi [city] previously mistreated us [(exc)] and insulted us, as you know, our God caused us to be courageous. As a result, we told you the good message [that originates/comes from] God, even though some [people in your city] also strongly (opposed [us/tried to prevent us from telling God’s message]).
3 Waayo, waanadayadu kama iman qalad ama wasakh ama khiyaano,
When we exhorted/urged (OR, tried to convince) [you to obey God’s message], we did not tell you an untrue message. Instead, we told you a true message. We do not [want to get something for ourselves] by immoral means. We do not try to deceive [you or other people].
4 laakiinse siduu Ilaah noogu bogay inuu nagu ammaaneeyo injiilka, sidaasaannu u hadalnaa, mana aha inaannu dadka ka farxinno, laakiinse inaannu ka farxinno Ilaaha qalbigayaga imtixaama.
On the contrary, we tell God’s message because he trusted us to do that, because he examined us and considered us [to be acceptable to tell people] the message about Christ. As we teach people, we do not say what they like to hear. Instead, [we say what] God [wants us to say, because] he examines everything that we think and what we desire.
5 Sidaad og tihiin, marnaba kuma aannu isticmaalin hadal sasabasho ah ama damacnimo qarsoon, oo taas Ilaah baa marag ka ah.
We never (flattered you/said nice things about you insincerely), as you know. We were never greedy, so we never needed to use words to (hide greediness [from you/cause you to think that we were not greedy]). God knows that this is true!
6 Dadka xaggiisana ammaan kama aannu doondoonin, ama xaggiinna ha noqoto, ama xagga dad kale, in kastoo aan culaab idinku noqon kari lahayn, annagoo ah rasuulladii Masiixa.
We never tried to get people [to honor us],
7 Laakiin dhexdiinna waxaannu idiinku roonayn sida mid carruurteeda nuujisa ay iyaga u dhaqaalayso.
although we could have demanded [that you should honor/respect us], because we are apostles [who represent] (OR, [speak for]) Christ. On the contrary, we were gentle when we were among you, as a mother [gently] takes care of her own children [SIM].
8 Sidaas daraaddeed, annagoo aad idiin jecel, ayaannu ku faraxnay inaannu wax idin siinno, mana aha injiilka Ilaah oo keliya, laakiinse xataa naftayada, maxaa yeelay, waxaad noo noqoteen kuwo aan jecel nahay.
So, because we love you, we were delighted to personally tell you the good message that God [gave us]. But also we were delighted to lovingly do all that we could do to help you [SYN] because (you had become very dear to us/we had begun to love you very much).
9 Waayo, waad xusuusan tihiin, walaalayaalow, sidaannu dhib iyo daal ugu shaqaynay habeen iyo maalinba, inaannan midkiinna culaysin, oo waxaannu idinku wacdinnay injiilka Ilaah.
My fellow believers, you remember that we worked very hard [DOU] [in order to] ([support ourselves/earn money to buy what we needed]) [while we were with you]. We worked [during the] day and [also at] night in order that we would not have to ask any one of you to give us what we needed, [while] we proclaimed to you the good message that God [gave us].
10 Idinkuna markhaati baad ka tihiin, Ilaahna wuu ka yahay, sidaannu daahir iyo xaq iyo ceebla'aan kula macaamiloonnay kuwiinna rumaysan.
You know that it is true, and God knows that it is true, that we conducted our lives in a very pure, right, and faultless [DOU] manner toward you believers.
11 Sidaad og tihiin waxaannu midkiin kastaba kula macaamiloonnay sida aabbe carruurtiisa ula macaamiloodo, annagoo idin waaninayna oo idin dhiirigelinayna oo idiin markhaati furayna,
You know also that [we lovingly behaved/acted toward] each one of you, just like a father [lovingly behaves/acts toward] his own children [SIM].
12 inaad u socotaan si istaahisha Ilaaha idiinku yeedhay boqortooyadiisa iyo ammaantiisa.
[Specifically, we] kept strongly exhorting/urging and encouraging you that you conduct your lives in the way that God’s people should, [because] he has invited you to become his people over whom he will rule in a wonderful way [HEN].
13 Oo sababtaas daraaddeed ayaannu joogsila'aan Ilaah ugu mahadnaqnaa in, markii aad naga hesheen ereygii Ilaah oo aad naga maqasheen, aydnaan u aqbalin sidii dad hadalkiis laakiin siduu run u yahay ereygii Ilaah oo haddana idinka dhex shaqeeya kuwiinna rumaysan.
We also continually thank God because when you heard the message [that] we told to you, you accepted it as the true message, the good message that God [gave to us]. We did not invent it. [We also thank God] that he is changing your lives because you trust this message [PRS].
14 Waayo, walaalayaalow, waxaad noqoteen kuwo ku dayday dadka kiniisadaha Ilaah oo Yahuudiya jooga, kuwaas oo ah kuwa Ciise Masiix, maxaa yeelay, idinkuna waxaad dadkiinna ka hesheen dhibtaas oo kale, siday iyaguba uga heleen Yuhuudda,
My fellow believers, we [know that you sincerely believed the message from God], because the manner in which you acted was just like the manner in which [the congregations] in Judea acted. They also [worship] God, [and they] ([have a close relationship with/are united to]) Christ Jesus. Specifically, you endured it [when] your own countrymen [mistreated you because you believe the message from God], in the same manner that those [Jewish believers in Judea] endured it [when] the Jews [who do not believe in Christ mistreated them].
15 oo ah kuwii dilay Rabbi Ciise iyo nebiyadiiba, oo annagana dibadda noo eryay, oo aan Ilaah ka farxin, dadka oo dhanna ka geesta ah.
[Unbelieving Jews are] the ones whom God considers guilty [for] killing the Lord Jesus, as well as [for killing] many prophets. Other unbelieving Jews forced us to leave [many towns]. They really make God angry; and [they are] opposed to [what is best for] all human beings!
16 Oo waxay noo diidaan inaannu dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn la hadalno inay badbaadaan. Sidaasay mar walba dembiyadooda u dhammaystiraan, laakiin ugu dambaysta cadhada waa ku dul degtay.
[Specifically], when we tell [the good message] to non-Jewish people in order that they can be saved {[that God] will save them} [spiritually], these [unbelieving Jews] try to stop/prevent us from doing that. Because they continually sin more and more, they are almost reaching the limit that has been [set by God] [MET]! [God] will soon punish them [MTY], at last, for all their sins!
17 Laakiin, walaalayaalow, annagoo wakhti yar lanaga kiin qaaday, xagga isla-joogidda ee ayan ahayn xagga qalbiga, aad iyo aad baannu ugu dadaalnay inaannu wejigiinna aragno, annagoo xiiso weyn u qabna;
My fellow believers, when for a short time [IDM] [those people forced us to be separated] from you, [we felt like parents] (who had lost all their children/whose children had died) [MET]. [Although] we were far away from you, [we were still] emotionally [concerned about you], and we strongly desired to be present with you.
18 waayo, waannu jeclaan lahayn inaannu idiin nimaadno, anigoo Bawlos ah mar iyo lababa waan jeclaa, laakiinse Shayddaan baa naga hor joogsaday.
[You can know that] we wanted to return to you. Indeed I, Paul, [tried to return] twice [IDM]. But [we did not return because] each time Satan [prevented us from returning].
19 Maxaa yeelay, waa ayo rajadayada iyo farxaddayada iyo taajka faanidda oo ahaan doona Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix hortiisa goortuu yimaado? Sow idinka ma aha?
[We were strongly desiring to be with you], because truly you [RHQ] [are the ones about whom we are proud and joyful]! It is because we are confident that you [will] ([remain faithful/continue believing in God]) that we [will be] joyful! You are the ones who we confidently expect [will keep strongly trusting in God!] It is because you [will] ([remain faithful/continue believing in God]) that we [will] be proud [of the work that we have done] [MET, RHQ] [when] our Lord Jesus [examines what we all have done, at the time] when he comes back [to earth]!
20 Waa idinka faankayaga iyo farxaddayaduba.
Indeed, it is because of you that [even now we] are pleased and joyful!
