¹ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܡܥܠܢܢ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܀

¹For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,

²ܐܠܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܚܫܢܢ ܘܐܨܛܥܪܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܕܥܝܬܘܢ ܒܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܒܐܓܘܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܡܠܠܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܒܦܪܗܤܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

²but 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.

³ܒܘܝܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܡܢ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܒܢܟܠܐ ܀

³For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

⁴ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܒܩܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܬܗܝܡܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܢܫܦܪ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܩܐ ܠܒܘܬܢ ܀

⁴But 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.

⁵ܐܦܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܐܬܚܫܚܢ ܒܡܡܠܠܐ ܫܕܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܝܥܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܤܗܕ ܀

⁵For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),

⁶ܘܠܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܝܩܝܪܐ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁶nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

⁷ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܡܟܝܟܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܡܪܒܝܢܝܬܐ ܕܡܚܒܒܐ ܒܢܝܗ ܀

⁷But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

⁸ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܡܚܒܒܝܢܢ ܘܡܤܘܚܝܢܢ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܢܦܫܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܒܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

⁸Even 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.

⁹ܥܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܝܢ ܕܠܐܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܥܡܠܝܢ ܒܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܥܠ ܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܩܪ ܀

⁹For 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.

¹⁰ܐܢܬܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܟܪܙܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܟܝܐܝܬ ܘܟܐܢܐܝܬ ܘܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܀

¹⁰You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

¹¹ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܒܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܡܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ ܘܡܤܗܕܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹¹As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,

¹²ܕܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܘܠܫܘܒܚܗ ܀

¹²to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

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 ܀

¹³For 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, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

¹⁴ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܐܬܕܡܝܬܘܢ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܗܟܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܫܪܒܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

¹⁴For 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;

¹⁵ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܩܛܠܘ ܘܠܢܒܝܐ ܕܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܠܢ ܪܕܦܘ ܘܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܫܦܪܝܢ ܘܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁵who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn’t please God, and are contrary to all men;

¹⁶ܕܟܠܝܢ ܠܢ ܕܢܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܥܡܡܐ ܕܢܚܘܢ ܠܡܫܠܡܘ ܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܡܛܝ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܀

¹⁶forbidding 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.

¹⁷ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܝܬܡܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܫܥܬܐ ܒܐܦܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܠܒܢ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܬܚܦܛܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀

¹⁷But 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,

¹⁸ܘܨܒܝܢ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܘܬܪܬܝܢ ܘܥܘܟܢܝ ܤܛܢܐ ܀

¹⁸because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

¹⁹ܐܝܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܤܒܪܢ ܘܚܕܘܬܢ ܘܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܫܘܒܗܪܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܀

¹⁹For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus TR adds “Christ” at his coming?

²⁰ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܢ ܘܚܕܘܬܢ ܀

²⁰For you are our glory and our joy.
