Berean Standard Bible
1Ngangau jura munta milkila, ngatata worajai, ngaianini wirini jurangu wata baku nganana wonti,
1You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.
2A‐ai, ngaiani ngopera, worderu jura milkila, Philippungu ketjaketjala wiri, ja tanali ngaianina jupala wiri, ngaiani murlali nganana wonti Godani ngaiananani, jurangu Godaia ngantjani jaura kaukaubala tirimalini pirnani.
2As you are aware, we had already endured suffering and shameful treatment in Philippi. But in the face of strong opposition, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God.
3Ngangau ngaianini jaura wata jirijirindru, bakana wata murumurundru, bakana wata jedibanandru wokarai,
3For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.
4A‐ai, worderu Godali ngaianina talku ngundrana wonti ngantjani jaura kaukaubala, ninaia Nulia ngaianingu matja jinkina, jeruja ngaiani kaukaubai, wata kana murlali ngankala jeribaka, a‐ai, Goda, Nulia ngara ngaianina wontjai.
4Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.
5Ngangau ngaiani wata jaura jeljujeljujeli wokarana wonti, worderu jura milkila, ja wata ngukingukipaterina ngundranali, Goda tinkari ngankanietja nganai;
5As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness!
6Ngaiani bakana wata pirnala wontiai kanandru, wata jurangundru, ja bakana wata ngurundru; kau, ngaiani ngurunguru nganana wonti Christuni Apostel jeribaka wondralkaterila.
6Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
7A‐ai, ngaiani malti wondraterina wonti jurangu terti, worderu ngamajinkinietjali kupa nankani ngamalkai,
7On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
8Jeruja ngaiani jurangu wolkareli ngantjana wonti ja jertapaterina wonti, wata windri Godaia ngantjani jaura jurangu kaukaubala, a‐ai, bakana tepi ngaianini jinkiterila, ngangau ngaiani jurana ngantjana wonti.
8We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
9Jura ngundrai, ngatata worajai, ngankani ja jigleri ngaianini: Tinkani ja ditjini ngaiani ngankana wonti, wata kulno jurangundru jupala, ngaiani Godaia ngantjani jaura jurangu matja kaukaubana.
9Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
10Jura ja Goda tinkari ngankani nganai, worderu kulikiri ja talku ja madlentji pani ngaiani jurangu, jura morlalu ngundrai, pantjina wonti,
10You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
11Ngangau ngaiani, worderu jura milkila, kulnulu kulnulu jurangundru murlali ngankana wonti ja kurukurubana wonti, worderu Ngaperali nunkani kupa,
11For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children—
12Ja jurangu morlalu kurana wonti, jura nunkangupini Godani talku wirarinanto, Nulia jurana karkanala mililaia nunkanaia ja pirnalaia nunkanaia.
12encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
13Jendrangundruja bakana ngaiani milingeru Goda jurakokai, ngangau jura Godaia ngantjani jaura ngaianingundru patana wonti, wata kana jaura jeribaka, a‐ai, mina nauja morlalu nganai, Godaia jaura jeribaka, nulia bakana jurangu ngankai, jura morlalu ngundrai.
13And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the true word of God—the word which is now at work in you who believe.
14Jeruja bakana jura, ngatata worajai, Godaia mili wolarani, tana Christungu Jesungu Judaiani karipaterini pantjina warai, ngangau bakana jura ketjaketjana warai jurani nguralandru, worderu tanali Juda kanandru;
14For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,
15Tanali Kapara Jesus nari ngankana wonti, worderu tanani Propheta bakana, ja ngaianingu tiri karipaterina wonti, tanana Godali wata ngantjai, ja kana pratjanani talpala tana nganai,
15who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,
16Tanali ngaianina daudauai kana koni kaukaubananto tana tepi pantjinanto, ja tanali tanani madlentji manamiri ngankananto; tiri tanangu matja wokarana warai.
16hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.
17Ngaiani, ngatata worajai, miljaru wordu warawararina warai ngamuru jeribaka, windri mudlali, wata ngarali, a‐ai, ngaiani wolkareli pirna nganana warai jurani mudla najila.
17Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.
18Jendrangundruja ngaiani ngantjana warai jurangu wokarala, ngani Paulus pota kulno ja pota kulno nakaldra, ja Satanali ngaianina ngandrawalkana warai.
18For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.
19Worana kalkani ja mankini ja pirnalaia pirapira ngaianini nganai, ngaianani Kaparani Jesungu nunkani tikanani, jura wata jenia ngananani?
19After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
20Kau, jura pirnala ja mankini ngaianini nganai.
20You are indeed our glory and our joy.
