١ تسالونيكي 3

١ 1 لِذَلِكَ إِذْ لَمْ نَحْتَمِلْ أَيْضًا ٱسْتَحْسَنَّا أَنْ نُتْرَكَ فِي أَثِينَا وَحْدَنَا.

Because of this, willing to wait no longer, it was pleasing to us to remain at Athens, alone.

٢ 2 فَأَرْسَلْنَا تِيمُوثَاوُسَ أَخَانَا، وَخَادِمَ ٱللهِ، وَٱلْعَامِلَ مَعَنَا فِي إِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، حَتَّى يُثَبِّتَكُمْ وَيَعِظَكُمْ لِأَجْلِ إِيمَانِكُمْ،

And we sent Timothy, our brother and a minister of God in the Gospel of Christ, to confirm you and to exhort you, on behalf of your faith,

٣ 3 كَيْ لَا يَتَزَعْزَعَ أَحَدٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلضِّيقَاتِ. فَإِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّنَا مَوْضُوعُونَ لِهَذَا.

so that no one would be disturbed during these tribulations. For you yourselves know that we have been appointed to this.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّنَا لَمَّا كُنَّا عِنْدَكُمْ، سَبَقْنَا فَقُلْنَا لَكُمْ: إِنَّنَا عَتِيدُونَ أَنْ نَتَضَايَقَ، كَمَا حَصَلَ أَيْضًا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ.

For even while we were with you, we predicted to you that we would suffer tribulations, even as it has happened, and as you know.

٥ 5 مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا إِذْ لَمْ أَحْتَمِلْ أَيْضًا، أَرْسَلْتُ لِكَيْ أَعْرِفَ إِيمَانَكُمْ، لَعَلَّ ٱلْمُجَرِّبَ يَكُونُ قَدْ جَرَّبَكُمْ، فَيَصِيرَ تَعَبُنَا بَاطِلًا.

For this reason also, I was not willing to wait any longer, and I sent to find out about your faith, lest perhaps he who tempts may have tempted you, and our labor might have been in vain.

٦ 6 وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَإِذْ جَاءَ إِلَيْنَا تِيمُوثَاوُسُ مِنْ عِنْدِكُمْ، وَبَشَّرَنَا بِإِيمَانِكُمْ وَمَحَبَّتِكُمْ، وَبِأَنَّ عِنْدَكُمْ ذِكْرًا لَنَا حَسَنًا كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَأَنْتُمْ مُشْتَاقُونَ أَنْ تَرَوْنَا، كَمَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا أَنْ نَرَاكُمْ،

But then, when Timothy arrived to us from you, he reported to us your faith and charity, and that you keep a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, just as we likewise desire to see you.

٧ 7 فَمِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا تَعَزَّيْنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ - فِي ضِيقَتِنَا وَضَرُورَتِنَا - بِإِيمَانِكُمْ.

As a result, we were consoled in you, brothers, in the midst of all our difficulties and tribulations, through your faith.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّنَا ٱلْآنَ نَعِيشُ إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ أَنْتُمْ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.

For we now live so that you may stand firm in the Lord.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُ أَيَّ شُكْرٍ نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نُعَوِّضَ إِلَى ٱللهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ ٱلْفَرَحِ ٱلَّذِي نَفْرَحُ بِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ قُدَّامَ إِلَهِنَا؟

For what thanks would we be able to repay to God because of you, for all the joy with which we rejoice over you before our God?

١٠ 10 طَالِبِينَ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا أَوْفَرَ طَلَبٍ، أَنْ نَرَى وُجُوهَكُمْ، وَنُكَمِّلَ نَقَائِصَ إِيمَانِكُمْ.

For night and day, ever more abundantly, we are praying that we may see your face, and that we may complete those things that are lacking in your faith.

١١ 11 وَٱللهُ نَفْسُهُ أَبُونَا وَرَبُّنَا يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يَهْدِي طَرِيقَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ.

But may God our Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

١٢ 12 وَٱلرَّبُّ يُنْمِيكُمْ وَيَزِيدُكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ وَلِلْجَمِيعِ، كَمَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا لَكُمْ،

And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in your charity toward one another and toward all, just as we also do toward you,

١٣ 13 لِكَيْ يُثَبِّتَ قُلُوبَكُمْ بِلَا لَوْمٍ فِي ٱلْقَدَاسَةِ، أَمَامَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا فِي مَجِيءِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ قِدِّيسِيهِ.

in order to confirm your hearts without blame, in sanctity, before God our Father, unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.
