1 Thessalonians 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, that our acceptance among you was not empty.	1 لانكم انتم ايها الاخوة تعلمون دخولنا اليكم انه لم يكن باطلا
2 Instead, having previously suffered and been treated shamefully, as you know, at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, so as to speak the Gospel of God to you with much solicitude.	2 بل بعدما تألمنا قبلا وبغي علينا كما تعلمون في فيلبي جاهرنا في الهنا ان نكلمكم بانجيل الله في جهاد كثير.
3 For our exhortation was not in error, nor from impurity, nor with deception.	3 لان وعظنا ليس عن ضلال ولا عن دنس ولا بمكر
4 But, just as we have been tested by God, so that the Gospel would be entrusted to us, so also did we speak, not so as to please men, but rather to please God, who tests our hearts.	4 بل كما استحسنّا من الله ان نؤتمن على الانجيل هكذا نتكلم لا كاننا نرضي الناس بل الله الذي يختبر قلوبنا.
5 And neither did we, at any time, become flattering in speech, as you know, nor did we seek an opportunity for avarice, as God is witness.	5 فاننا لم نكن قط في كلام تملق كما تعلمون ولا في علة طمع. الله شاهد.
6 Nor did we seek the glory of men, neither from you, nor from others.	6 ولا طلبنا مجدا من الناس لا منكم ولا من غيركم مع اننا قادرون ان نكون في وقار كرسل المسيح.
7 And although we could have been a burden to you, as Apostles of Christ, instead we became like little ones in your midst, like a nurse cherishing her children.	7 بل كنا مترفقين في وسطكم كما تربي المرضعة اولادها
8 So desirous were we for you that we were willing to hand over to you, not only the Gospel of God, but even our own souls. For you have become most beloved to us.	8 هكذا اذ كنا حانّين اليكم كنا نرضى ان نعطيكم لا انجيل الله فقط بل انفسنا ايضا لانكم صرتم محبوبين الينا.
9 For you remember, brothers, our hardship and weariness. We preached the Gospel of God among you, working night and day, so that we would not be burdensome to any of you.	9 فانكم تذكرون ايها الاخوة تعبنا وكدّنا. اذ كنا نكرز لكم بانجيل الله ونحن عاملون ليلا ونهارا كي لا نثقل على احد منكم.
10 You are witnesses, as is God, of how holy and just and blameless we were with you who have believed.	10 انتم شهود والله كيف بطهارة وببر وبلا لوم كنا بينكم انتم المؤمنين.
11 And you know the manner, with each one of you, like a father with his sons,	11 كما تعلمون كيف كنا نعظ كل واحد منكم كالاب لاولاده ونشجعكم
12 in which we were pleading with you and consoling you, bearing witness, so that you would walk in a manner worthy of God, who has called you into his kingdom and glory.	12 ونشهدكم لكي تسلكوا كما يحق لله الذي دعاكم الى ملكوته ومجده
13 For this reason also, we give thanks to God without ceasing: because, when you had accepted from us the Word of the hearing of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but (as it truly is) as the Word of God, who is working in you who have believed.	13 من اجل ذلك نحن ايضا نشكر الله بلا انقطاع لانكم اذ تسلمتم منا كلمة خبر من الله قبلتموها لا ككلمة اناس بل كما هي بالحقيقة ككلمة الله التي تعمل ايضا فيكم انتم المؤمنين.
14 For you, brothers, have become imitators of the churches of God which are at Judea, in Christ Jesus. For you, too, have suffered the same things from your fellow countrymen as they have suffered from the Jews,	14 فانكم ايها الاخوة صرتم متمثلين بكنائس الله التي هي في اليهودية في المسيح يسوع لانكم تألمتم انتم ايضا من اهل عشيرتكم تلك الآلام عينها كما هم ايضا من اليهود
15 who also killed both the Lord Jesus, and the Prophets, and who have persecuted us. But they do not please God, and so they are adversaries to all men.	15 الذين قتلوا الرب يسوع وانبياءهم واضطهدونا نحن. وهم غير مرضين للّه واضداد لجميع الناس
16 They prohibit us to speak to the Gentiles, so that they may be saved, and thus do they continually add to their own sins. But the wrath of God will overtake them in the very end.	16 يمنعوننا عن ان نكلم الامم لكي يخلصوا حتى يتمموا خطاياهم كل حين. ولكن قد ادركهم الغضب الى النهاية.
17 And we, brothers, having been deprived of you for a short time, in sight, but not in heart, have hurried all the more to see your face, with a great desire.	17 واما نحن ايها الاخوة فاذ قد فقدناكم زمان ساعة بالوجه لا بالقلب اجتهدنا اكثر باشتهاء كثير ان نرى وجوهكم.
18 For we wanted to come to you, (indeed, I, Paul, attempted to do so once, and then again,) but Satan impeded us.	18 لذلك اردنا ان نأتي اليكم انا بولس مرة ومرتين. وانما عاقنا الشيطان.
19 For what is our hope, and our joy, and our crown of glory? Is it not you, before our Lord Jesus Christ at his return?	19 لان من هو رجاؤنا وفرحنا واكليل افتخارنا. ام لستم انتم ايضا امام ربنا يسوع المسيح في مجيئه.
20 For you are our glory and our joy.	20 لانكم انتم مجدنا وفرحنا
