1For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which [we had] to you, that it has not been in vain;
1ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܡܥܠܢܢ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܀
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.
2ܐܠܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܚܫܢܢ ܘܐܨܛܥܪܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܕܥܝܬܘܢ ܒܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܒܐܓܘܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܡܠܠܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܒܦܪܗܤܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
3For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
3ܒܘܝܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܡܢ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܒܢܟܠܐ ܀
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.
4ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܒܩܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܬܗܝܡܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܢܫܦܪ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܩܐ ܠܒܘܬܢ ܀
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;
5ܐܦܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܐܬܚܫܚܢ ܒܡܡܠܠܐ ܫܕܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܝܥܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܤܗܕ ܀
6nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
6ܘܠܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܝܩܝܪܐ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
7but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
7ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܡܟܝܟܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܡܪܒܝܢܝܬܐ ܕܡܚܒܒܐ ܒܢܝܗ ܀
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.
8ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܡܚܒܒܝܢܢ ܘܡܤܘܚܝܢܢ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܢܦܫܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܒܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
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.
9ܥܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܝܢ ܕܠܐܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܥܡܠܝܢ ܒܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܥܠ ܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܩܪ ܀
10*Ye* [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:
10ܐܢܬܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܟܪܙܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܟܝܐܝܬ ܘܟܐܢܐܝܬ ܘܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܀
11as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,
11ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܒܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܡܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ ܘܡܤܗܕܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀
12that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
12ܕܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܘܠܫܘܒܚܗ ܀
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.
13ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܡܘܕܝܢܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܡܢܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܩܒܠܬܘܢܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܝ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܡܤܬܥܪܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܀
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,
14ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܐܬܕܡܝܬܘܢ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܗܟܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܫܪܒܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀
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,
15ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܩܛܠܘ ܘܠܢܒܝܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܠܢ ܪܕܦܘ ܘܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܫܦܪܝܢ ܘܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀
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.
16ܕܟܠܝܢ ܠܢ ܕܢܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܥܡܡܐ ܕܢܚܘܢ ܠܡܫܠܡܘ ܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܡܛܝ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܀
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;
17ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܝܬܡܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܫܥܬܐ ܒܐܦܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܠܒܢ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܬܚܦܛܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀
18wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
18ܘܨܒܝܢ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܘܬܪܬܝܢ ܘܥܘܟܢܝ ܤܛܢܐ ܀
19For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not *ye* also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
19ܐܝܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܤܒܪܢ ܘܚܕܘܬܢ ܘܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܫܘܒܗܪܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܀
20for ye are our glory and joy.
20ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܢ ܘܚܕܘܬܢ ܀
