ለሊክሙ ተአምሩ አኀዊነ ዘከመ ገበርነ ለክሙ ወኢኮነ በከንቱ በዊኦትነ ኀቤክሙ ።
For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
2:2 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἀλλὰ προπαθόντες καὶ ὑβρισθέντες καθὼς οἴδατε ἐν Φιλίπποις ἐπαρρησιασάμεθα ἐν τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν λαλῆσαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν πολλῷ ἀγῶνι .
sed ante passi , et contumeliis affecti (sicut scitis ) in Philippis , fiduciam habuimus in Deo nostro , loqui ad vos Evangelium Dei in multa sollicitudine .

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.
2:3 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἡ γὰρ παράκλησις ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐκ πλάνης οὐδὲ ἐξ ἀκαθαρσίας οὐδὲ ἐν δόλῳ ,
Exhortatio enim nostra non de errore , neque de immunditia , neque in dolo ,

For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
2:4 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἀλλὰ καθὼς δεδοκιμάσμεθα ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ πιστευθῆναι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον οὕτως λαλοῦμεν , οὐχ ὡς ἀνθρώποις ἀρέσκοντες ἀλλὰ θεῷ τῷ δοκιμάζοντι τὰς καρδίας ἡμῶν .

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.
2:5 ⧉ ⤴︎ οὔτε γάρ ποτε ἐν λόγῳ κολακίας ἐγενήθημεν , καθὼς οἴδατε , οὔτε ἐν προφάσει πλεονεξίας , θεὸς μάρτυς ,

For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
2:6 ⧉ ⤴︎ οὔτε ζητοῦντες ἐξ ἀνθρώπων δόξαν , οὔτε ἀφ’ ὑμῶν οὔτε ἀπ’ ἄλλων , δυνάμενοι ἐν βάρει εἶναι ὡς Χριστοῦ ἀπόστολοι ·

nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
2:7 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἀλλὰ ἐγενήθημεν ἤπιοι ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν , ὡς ἐὰν τροφὸς θάλπῃ τὰ ἑαυτῆς τέκνα ,

ዳእሙ ኮነ ከመ ሕፃናት በማእከሌክሙ ወከመ ሐፃኒት እንተ ተሐዝል ደቂቃ ።
But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
2:8 ⧉ ⤴︎ οὕτως ὁμειρόμενοι ὑμῶν εὐδοκοῦμεν μεταδοῦναι ὑμῖν οὐ μόνον τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰς ἑαυτῶν ψυχάς , διότι ἀγαπητοὶ ἡμῖν ἐγενήθητε .
Ita desiderantes vos , cupide volebamus tradere vobis non solum Evangelium Dei , sed etiam animas nostras : quoniam carissimi nobis facti estis .

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.
2:9 ⧉ ⤴︎ μνημονεύετε γάρ , ἀδελφοί , τὸν κόπον ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν μόχθον · νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ἐργαζόμενοι πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἐπιβαρῆσαί τινα ὑμῶν ἐκηρύξαμεν εἰς ὑμᾶς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ .
Memores enim estis , fratres , laboris nostri , et fatigationis : nocte ac die operantes , ne quem vestrum gravaremus , praedicavimus in vobis Evangelium Dei .

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.
2:10 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὑμεῖς μάρτυρες καὶ ὁ θεός , ὡς ὁσίως καὶ δικαίως καὶ ἀμέμπτως ὑμῖν τοῖς πιστεύουσιν ἐγενήθημεν ,

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,
2:12 ⧉ ⤴︎ καὶ μαρτυρόμενοι εἰς τὸ περιπατεῖν ὑμᾶς ἀξίως τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ βασιλείαν καὶ δόξαν .

to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
2:13 ⧉ ⤴︎ Καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡμεῖς εὐχαριστοῦμεν τῷ θεῷ ἀδιαλείπτως , ὅτι παραλαβόντες λόγον ἀκοῆς παρ’ ἡμῶν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐδέξασθε οὐ λόγον ἀνθρώπων ἀλλὰ καθώς ἐστιν ἀληθῶς λόγον θεοῦ , ὃς καὶ ἐνεργεῖται ἐν ὑμῖν τοῖς πιστεύουσιν .
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 :

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, God’s word, 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

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,
