2:1 Paulos recalls his visit to Thessalonikai

2 Brothers and sisters, you yourselves know that our going to Thessalonikai wasn’t wasted, 2 but after previously suffering and being mistreated in Filippou (Philippi),[ref] we spoke boldly at your place with God’s help, to tell you all the good message from God despite a lot of opposition there.[ref] 3 As we recommend a change in your lifestyles, we don’t do it with deception or impurity or deceit, 4 but since God has approved us and entrusted the good message to us, that’s what we talk about. We don’t aim to bring pleasure to people, but rather to bring them to God—the one who approves our inner motives. 5 As you all know, we never once came with a message of flattery, nor did we come under any pretenses (God is our witness) trying to get anything from you, 6 nor did we try to earn respect from people—neither from you all nor from anyone else 7 even though we could request support as ambassadors of Messiah. But we became unsophisticated among you, just like children, or like a breast-feeding mother who cherishes her own children. 8 So in longing for you all like that, we were happy to share with you all—not only the good message from God, but also exposing our own lives because you all became dear to us. 9 Brothers and sisters, you’re remembering our work and the hardship that we endured, working day and night so that we wouldn’t burden any of you as we proclaimed good message from God.

10 You’re all witnesses, and God also, as to how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we were to the believers, 11 just as each one of you who’s a father to his own children has known 12 how to encourage and to console them. We testified to you so that you all would live lives worthy of God—the one who invited you into his kingdom and to share his honour.

13 We also never stop thanking God that when you accepted God’s message that you heard from us, it wasn’t a message from humans, but truly was a message from God who is working in all of you who believed. 14 Brothers and sisters, you became imitators of the other assemblies of God in Yehudah (Judea) which are founded on Messiah Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus). You all suffered the same things from your own countrymen that the strict Yehudim (Jews) did to them.[ref] 15 They executed their own prophets as well as the master Yeshua. They drove us out,[ref] displeasing God and contrary to all people—16 forbidding us from telling non-Jews that they need to be saved so that they stay in their sins, but God’s severe anger will finish them off.

2 For/Because yourselves you_all_have_known, brothers, the entrance of_us which to you_all, that not vain it_has_become,
2 but having_previously_suffered and having_been_mistreated, as you_all_have_known, in Filippou we_spoke_boldly in the god of_us, to_speak to you_all the good_message of_ the _god among much struggle.
3 For/Because the exhortation of_us not of deception, nor of impurity, nor in deceit,
4 but as we_have_been_approved by the god, to_be_entrusted the good_message, thus we_are_speaking, not as to_people bringing_pleasure, but to_god, the one approving the hearts of_us.
5 For/Because neither once with message of_flattery we_were_become, as you_all_have_known, nor with a_under_pretense for_greediness (god is witness)
6 nor seeking from people glory, neither from you_all, nor from others,
7 being_able in burden to_be, as of_chosen_one/messiah ambassadors.
But we_were_become infants in the_midst of_you_all, as if a_nursing_mother may_be_cherishing the of_herself children.
8 Thus longing for_you_all, we_were_taking_pleasure to_share with_you_all, not only the good_message of_ the _god, but also the of_ourselves lives, because beloved to_us you_all_were_become.
9 For/Because you_all_are_remembering, brothers, the labour of_us and the hardship, night and day working, in_order that not to_burden anyone of_you_all, we_proclaimed to you_all the good_message of_ the _god.
10 You_all are witnesses and the god, how devoutly, and justly, and blamelessly, to_you_all the ones believing we_were_become,
11 just_as you_all_have_known how one each of_you_all, as a_father to_children of_himself,
12 exhorting you_all, and consoling, and testifying, in_order that to_be_walking you_all worthily of_ the _god, the one having_called you_all into the of_himself kingdom and glory.
13 And because_of this also we are_giving_thanks to_ the _god unceasingly that having_received the_message by_hearing from us of_ the _god, you_all_received not the_message of_humans, but as truly it_is, the_message of_god, which also is_working in you_all which believing.
14 For/Because you_all imitators were_become, brothers, of_the assemblies of_ the _god, which being in the Youdaia in chosen_one/messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), because the same things you_all_suffered, also you_all by your own fellow-countrymen, as also they did by the Youdaiōns,
15 who both the master having_killed_off Yaʸsous, and their prophets, and us having_driven_out, and to_god not bringing_pleasure, but to_all people of_contrary,
16 forbidding us to_the pagans to_speak, in_order_that they_may_be_saved, because/for which to_fulfill of_them the sins always.
But came on them the severe_anger to end.

2:17 Paulos’s desire to visit Thessalonikai again

17 But we, brothers and sisters, have been cut off from you for a while, but only physically and not in our hearts, in fact we long to see you even more. 18 We wanted to come and see you all—I, Paulos, even tried twice to come—but Satan held us back. 19 Because who is it that encourages and pleases us and that we can brag about? Won’t it be you all there in front of our master Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) when he returns, 20 because you all make us both happy and proud.

17 But we, brothers, having_been_orphaned of you_all, because/for the_time of_an_hour, in_face not in_heart, more_abundantly we_were_earnest the face of_you_all to_see with great desire.
18 Because we_wanted to_come to you_all, I indeed Paulos, both once and twice, and hindered us the Satan/(Sāţān).
19 For/Because who is of_us the_hope or the_joy or the_crown of_boasting?
Or not are even you_all, before the master of_us, Yaʸsous, at the of_him coming?
20 For/Because you_all are the glory of_us, and the joy.
