| 1 Thessalonians 2 Text (WEB)
|
- For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn't in vain,
- but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
- For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
- But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
- For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
- nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
- But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
- Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
- For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
- You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
- As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
- to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
- For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
- For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;
- who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn't please God, and are contrary to all men;
- forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
- But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
- because we wanted to come to you--indeed, I, Paul, once and again--but Satan hindered us.
- For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
- For you are our glory and our joy.

- כי אתם אחי הנכם ידעים את מבואנו אליכם כי לא היה לריק׃
- אך אחרי אשר ענינו ולחרפות היינו בפילפי כאשר ידעתם התחזקנו באלהינו להגיד גם לכם את הבשורה בנפתולים רבים׃
- כי תוכחתנו איננה מתוך טעות וגם לא מתוך טמאה ולא ברמיה׃
- כי אם כאשר נחשבנו נאמנים לאלהים להפקיד בידנו את הבשורה כן נדבר ולא כחפצים להיות רצוים לבני אדם כי אם לאלהים הבחן לבותנו׃
- כי מעולם לא דברנו בשפת חלקות כאשר ידעתם וגם לא למען בצע בצע האלהים עד׃
- גם לא בקשנו מן האדם כבוד לא מכם ולא מאחרים אף כי היה לנו מקום להתכבד כשליחי המשיח׃
- אבל הלכנו לאט בתוככם כאמנת מפנקת את בניה׃
- ובחבבנו ככה אתכם חפצנו לתת לכם לא לבד את בשורת האלהים כי גם את נפשתינו יען כי הייתם חביבים עלינו׃
- הלא תזכרו אחי את יגיעתנו ואת תלאתנו אשר היינו עמלים לילה ויומם לבלתי היות למשא לאיש בבשרנו בקרבכם את בשורת האלהים׃
- עדים אתם ועד האלהים כי בקדש ובצדק ובתמים היינו עמכם המאמינים׃
- ואתם ידעתם כי כאב את בניו הזהרנו את כל אחד מכם ודברנו על לבו׃
- ונעד בכם ללכת כראוי לפני האלהים הקורא אתכם למלכותו ולכבודו׃
- בעבור זאת גם נודה תמיד לאלהים כי אתם בקבלכם מאתנו דבר שמועת האלהים לא קבלתם אותו כדבר בני אדם כי אם כמו שהוא באמת כדבר האלהים אשר הוא גם פעל בכם המאמינים׃
- כי אתם אחי הלכתם בעקבי קהלות האלהים אשר בארץ יהודה במשיח ישוע כי סבלתם גם אתם כאלה על ידי בני שבטכם כאשר סבלו גם המה על ידי היהודים׃
- אשר אף המיתו את האדון ישוע ואת נביאיהם ואותנו רדפו ואינם טובים בעיני אלהים ואיבים לכל אדם׃
- המנעים אתנו מדבר אל הגוים כי יושעו למען אשר ימלאו את חטאתיהם בכל עת וישיגם החרון עד לכלה׃
- ואנחנו אחי אחרי אשר שכלנו אתכם לזמן מעט בפנים ולא בלב השתדלנו ביותר לראות פניכם בתשוקה רבה׃
- ועל כן חפצנו לבוא אליכם אני פולוס פעם ושתים והשטן עצרנו׃
- כי מי תקותנו ומי שמחתנו ועטרת תפארתנו הלא גם אתם לפני אדנינו ישוע המשיח בבואו׃
- אמנם אתם כבודנו ושמחתנו׃

- Nam ipsi scitis, fratres, introitum nostrum ad vos, quia non inanis fuit :
- sed ante passi, et contumeliis affecti (sicut scitis) in Philippis, fiduciam habuimus in Deo nostro, loqui ad vos Evangelium Dei in multa sollicitudine.
- Exhortatio enim nostra non de errore, neque de immunditia, neque in dolo,
- sed sicut probati sumus a Deo ut crederetur nobis Evangelium : ita loquimur non quasi hominibus placentes, sed Deo, qui probat corda nostra.
- Neque enim aliquando fuimus in sermone adulationis, sicut scitis : neque in occasione avaritiæ : Deus testis est :
- nec quærentes ab hominibus gloriam, neque a vobis, neque ab aliis.
- Cum possemus vobis oneri esse ut Christi apostoli : sed facti sumus parvuli in medio vestrum, tamquam si nutrix foveat filios suos.
- Ita desiderantes vos, cupide volebamus tradere vobis non solum Evangelium Dei, sed etiam animas nostras : quoniam carissimi nobis facti estis.
- Memores enim estis, fratres, laboris nostri, et fatigationis : nocte ac die operantes, ne quem vestrum gravaremus, prædicavimus in vobis Evangelium Dei.
- Vos testes estis, et Deus, quam sancte, et juste, et sine querela, vobis, qui credidistis, fuimus :
- sicut scitis, qualiter unumquemque vestrum (sicut pater filios suos)
- deprecantes vos, et consolantes, testificati sumus, ut ambularetis digne Deo, qui vocavit vos in suum regnum et gloriam.
- 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 :
- vos enim imitatores facti estis, fratres, ecclesiarum Dei, quæ sunt in Judæa in Christo Jesu : quia eadem passi estis et vos a contribulibus vestris, sicut et ipsi a Judæis :
- qui et Dominum occiderunt Jesum, et prophetas, et nos persecuti sunt, et Deo non placent, et omnibus hominibus adversantur,
- prohibentes nos gentibus loqui ut salvæ fiant, ut impleant peccata sua semper : pervenit enim ira Dei super illos usque in finem.
- Nos autem fratres desolati a vobis ad tempus horæ, aspectu, non corde, abundantius festinavimus faciem vestram videre cum multo desiderio :
- quoniam voluimus venire ad vos, ego quidem Paulus, et semel, et iterum : sed impedivit nos Satanas.
- Quæ est enim nostra spes aut gaudium, aut corona gloriæ ? nonne vos ante Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum estis in adventu ejus ?
- vos enim estis gloria nostra et gaudium.

- For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
- 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.
- For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
- 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.
- For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
- Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
- But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
- 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.
- 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.
- Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
- As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
- That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
- 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?
- For ye are our glory and joy.
