II.
1 Brōli, jyus zynat poši, ka myusu uzastōšona pi jums nabeja bez panōkumim. 2 Lai gon mums, kai jyus zynot, pyrmōk Filipijā vajadzēja byut sōpēs un pasmōdēšonā, tūmār pasaļaudami uz myusu Dīvu, mes īsadrūšynōjom sludynōt jums Dīva Evangeliju, nasaskotūt uz daudzom ceiņom. 3 Un myusu sludynōšonai nav nikō kūpeja ar mōneišonas vai montkōreibas nūlyukim, ni arī ar viļteibu. 4 Tai kai Dīvs myusus pagūdynōja mums uztycūt sludynōt Evangeliju, tad mes runojam, lai īpatyktu na cylvākim, bet gon Dīvam, kas cauri redz sirdis. 5 Mes nikod, kai jyus zynat, nanōcem ar glaimojūšom runom, ni arī ar nūslāptu montkōreibu, — Dīvs ir tam līcinīks, — 6 Slavas mes nameklējom pi ļaudim, ni pi jums, ni pi citim. 7 Lai gon mes, kai Kristus apostoli, varējom pret jums byut uzstōjeigi, bet mes storp jums bejom kautreigi, kai barōtōja (mōte), kas gōrbej sovus bārnus. 8 Mīlesteibas piļdeiti uz jums, mes gribējom jums na tikai Dīva Evangeliju snēgt, bet arī sovu dzeiveibu, jo jyus klivot mums mīli. 9 Brōli, jyus pīminit myusu ryupes un pyules. Mes strōdōjom dīn un nakt, lai nivīna nu jums naapgryutynōtu tad, kad mes jums sludynōjom Dīva Evangeliju. 10 Jyus asot līcinīki, arī Dīvs ir līcinīks, cik cāli, taisneigi un navaiņojami mes pret jums, ticeigajim, izaturējom. 11 Jyus zynot, ka mes ikvīnu nu jums, kai tāvs sovu bārnu, pōrsorgōjom, pamūdynōjom un 12 zvārynōjom, lai jyus Dīva cīneigi dzeivōtu, kas jyusus uz sovu vaļsteibu un uz sovu gūdeibu ir paaicynōjis.
13 Tōpēc mes bez pōrstōšonas pateicam Dīvam par tū, ka jyus Dīva vōrdu, kuru nu mums dzērdējot, pījēmet na kai cylvāku vōrdu, bet gon kai taidu, kaids jys ir patīseibā, — kai Dīva vōrdu, kas pi jums, kuri asot īticējuši, ir darbeigs. 14 Tai tad, jyus, brōli, asot pakaļdareitōji Dīva draudzem, kas ir Judejā ikš Jezus Kristus, un jums nu sovim tautīšim beja jōpacīš taidas pat sōpes, kai tim nu jūdim. 15 Jī (jūdi) pat Kungu Jezu un pravīšus nūnōvēja, jī arī myusus vojōja. Jī Dīvam nav pateikami un ir īnaidā ar visim cylvākim. 16 Jī līk škēršļus, lai mes nasludynōtu pogōnim, ka tī natyktu izglōbti, un tai jī pīpiļdeja sovu grāku māru vysā pylnu. Beidzūt arī (Dīva) dusme par jim ir atnōkuse.
17 Brōli, jau ir pagōjis laiks, kai mes nu jums ōreigi, lai gon na sirdī, asom škērti un myusūs ceļās korsta vēlēšonōs jyusus otkon īraudzeit. 18 Tōpēc mes gribējom, mozōkais, es, Pōvuls pi jums na reizi aizīt, bet satans myusus aizkavēja. 19 Un kas tad cyts, ka na jyus asot myusu cereiba, myusu prīca, myusu slavas krūņs myusu Kunga Jezus (Kristus) prīškā pi Jō atnōkšonas? 20 Jā, jyus asot myusu slava un myusu prīca.
Paul's Work in Thessalonica
1 Our friends, you yourselves know that our visit to you was not a failure. 2 You know how we had already been mistreated and insulted in Philippi before we came to you in Thessalonica. And even though there was much opposition, our God gave us courage to tell you the Good News that comes from him. 3 Our appeal to you is not based on error or impure motives, nor do we try to trick anyone. 4 Instead, we always speak as God wants us to, because he has judged us worthy to be entrusted with the Good News. We do not try to please people, but to please God, who tests our motives. 5 You know very well that we did not come to you with flattering talk, nor did we use words to cover up greed—God is our witness! 6 We did not try to get praise from anyone, either from you or from others, 7 even though as apostles of Christ we could have made demands on you. But we were gentle when we were with you, like a mother taking care of her children. 8 Because of our love for you we were ready to share with you not only the Good News from God but even our own lives. You were so dear to us! 9 Surely you remember, our friends, how we worked and toiled! We worked day and night so that we would not be any trouble to you as we preached to you the Good News from God.
10 You are our witnesses, and so is God, that our conduct toward you who believe was pure, right, and without fault. 11 You know that we treated each one of you just as parents treat their own children. 12 We encouraged you, we comforted you, and we kept urging you to live the kind of life that pleases God, who calls you to share in his own Kingdom and glory.
13 And there is another reason why we always give thanks to God. When we brought you God's message, you heard it and accepted it, not as a message from human beings but as God's message, which indeed it is. For God is at work in you who believe. 14 Our friends, the same things happened to you that happened to the churches of God in Judea, to the people there who belong to Christ Jesus. You suffered the same persecutions from your own people that they suffered from the Jews, 15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us. How displeasing they are to God! How hostile they are to everyone! 16 They even tried to stop us from preaching to the Gentiles the message that would bring them salvation. In this way they have brought to completion all the sins they have always committed. And now God's anger has at last come down on them!
Paul's Desire to Visit Them Again
17 As for us, friends, when we were separated from you for a little while—not in our thoughts, of course, but only in body—how we missed you and how hard we tried to see you again! 18 We wanted to return to you. I myself tried to go back more than once, but Satan would not let us. 19 After all, it is you—you, no less than others!—who are our hope, our joy, and our reason for boasting of our victory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes. 20 Indeed, you are our pride and our joy!
