1 Tesalonikarrei 3

1 Halacotz guehiagoric ecin pairatuz, on irudi içan çaicu gueuroc Athenesen gueldi guentecen.

Therefore, when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,

2 Eta igorri vkan dugu Timotheo gure anaye eta Iaincoaren ministrea eta Christen Euangelioan gure aiutaçalea, çuen confirmatzera eta exhortatzera çuen fedearen gainean:

and sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the Good News of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith;

3 Nehor trubla eztadinçát afflictione hautan: ecen ceuroc badaquiçue hartaco ordenatuac garela.

that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

4 Ecen çuec baithan guinenean aitzinetic erraiten guendrauçuen ecen afflictione iragan behar vkanen guenduela, heldu-ere içan den beçala, eta badaquiçue.

For truly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.

5 Halacotz nic-ere guehiagoric ecin pairatuz, hura igorri vkan dut çuen fedea eçagut neçançát, tentaçaleac nolazpeit tentatu centuquezten beldurrez, eta ezdeustu ezlicén gure trabaillua.

For this cause I also, when I could not stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.

6 Eta heuraguiric eztuela ethorri cenean Timotheo çuetaric guregana, eta declaratu cerauzquigunean çuen fedea eta charitatea, eta nola duçuen guçaz memorio ona bethiere, desiratzen gaituçuelaric ikustera, guc-ere çuec beçala:

But when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you;

7 Halacotz içan gara consolatu, anayeác, çuetan, gure afflictione eta tribulatione orotan, çuen fedeaz.

for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.

8 Ecen orain gara vici, baldin çuec fermu baçaudete Iaunean.

For now we live, since you stand firm in the Lord.

9 Ecen cer remerciamendu Iaincoari renda ahal deçaqueogu çueçaz, gure Iaincoaren aitzinean çuen causaz alegueratzen garen alegrança guciagatic?

For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

10 Gau eta egun abundantquiago othoitz eguiten dugula ikus deçagunçát çuen beguithartea, eta compli deçagunçát çuen fedean peitu dena.

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

11 Bada, gure Iainco eta Aitac, eta Iesus Christ gure Iaunac chuchent deçala gure çuetaratco bidea.

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;

12 Eta çuec Iaunac multiplica eta abunda eraci çaitzatela elkarganaco eta gucietaraco charitatean, gu-ere çuetara beçala:

and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love for one another and for all, even as we also do toward you,

13 Confirma ditzançát çuen bihotzac reprotchu gabe saindutassunean gure Iainco eta Aitaren aitzinean, Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren bere saindu guciequilaco aduenimenduco.

to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
