¹لانكم انتم ايها الاخوة تعلمون دخولنا اليكم انه لم يكن باطلا

¹For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which [we had] to you, that it has not been in vain;

²بل بعدما تألمنا قبلا وبغي علينا كما تعلمون في فيلبي جاهرنا في الهنا ان نكلمكم بانجيل الله في جهاد كثير.

²but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.

³لان وعظنا ليس عن ضلال ولا عن دنس ولا بمكر

³For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;

⁴بل كما استحسنّا من الله ان نؤتمن على الانجيل هكذا نتكلم لا كاننا نرضي الناس بل الله الذي يختبر قلوبنا.

⁴but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.

⁵فاننا لم نكن قط في كلام تملق كما تعلمون ولا في علة طمع. الله شاهد.

⁵For we have not at any time been [among you] with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God [is] witness;

⁶ولا طلبنا مجدا من الناس لا منكم ولا من غيركم مع اننا قادرون ان نكون في وقار كرسل المسيح.

⁶nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;

⁷بل كنا مترفقين في وسطكم كما تربي المرضعة اولادها

⁷but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.

⁸هكذا اذ كنا حانّين اليكم كنا نرضى ان نعطيكم لا انجيل الله فقط بل انفسنا ايضا لانكم صرتم محبوبين الينا.

⁸Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.

⁹فانكم تذكرون ايها الاخوة تعبنا وكدّنا. اذ كنا نكرز لكم بانجيل الله ونحن عاملون ليلا ونهارا كي لا نثقل على احد منكم.

⁹For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.

¹⁰انتم شهود والله كيف بطهارة وببر وبلا لوم كنا بينكم انتم المؤمنين.

¹⁰*Ye* [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:

¹¹كما تعلمون كيف كنا نعظ كل واحد منكم كالاب لاولاده ونشجعكم

¹¹as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,

¹²ونشهدكم لكي تسلكوا كما يحق لله الذي دعاكم الى ملكوته ومجده

¹²that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.

¹³من 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.

¹³And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received [the] word of [the] report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe.

¹⁴فانكم 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

¹⁴For *ye*, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for *ye* also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also *they* of the Jews,

¹⁵الذين قتلوا الرب يسوع وانبياءهم واضطهدونا نحن. وهم غير مرضين للّه واضداد لجميع الناس

¹⁵who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and [are] against all men,

¹⁶يمنعوننا عن ان نكلم الامم لكي يخلصوا حتى يتمموا خطاياهم كل حين. ولكن قد ادركهم الغضب الى النهاية.

¹⁶forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

¹⁷واما نحن ايها الاخوة فاذ قد فقدناكم زمان ساعة بالوجه لا بالقلب اجتهدنا اكثر باشتهاء كثير ان نرى وجوهكم.

¹⁷But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;

¹⁸لذلك اردنا ان نأتي اليكم انا بولس مرة ومرتين. وانما عاقنا الشيطان.

¹⁸wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.

¹⁹لان من هو رجاؤنا وفرحنا واكليل افتخارنا. ام لستم انتم ايضا امام ربنا يسوع المسيح في مجيئه.

¹⁹For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not *ye* also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

²⁰لانكم انتم مجدنا وفرحنا

²⁰for ye are our glory and joy.
