1 Thessalonians 3
1 Therefore when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
A I hiki ole ia makou ke hoomanawanui hou aku, manao iho la makou he pono ke waiho hookahi ia mai ma Atenai.
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,
A ua hoouna aku la ia Timoteo, o ko kakou hoahanau, he mea lawehana na ke Akua, a o ko makou hoalawehana ma ka euanelio o Kristo, e hooikaika aku oia ia oukou, a e hooluolu hoi ia oukou i ko oukou manaoio ana;
3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
I hoonaue ole ia kekahi e keia mau pilikia; no ka mea, ua ike no oukou, ua haawiia mai ia mau mea no kakou.
4 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
No ka mea, i ko makou noho pu ana me oukou, na hai e aku makou ia oukou, e hoinoia'na kakou; a ua hiki mai la no ia pela, ua ike hoi oukou.
5 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.
Nolaila, i ka pono ole ia'u ke hoomanawanui hou aku, ua hoouna aku la au e ike i ko oukou manaoio, o lilo paha oukou i ka hoowalewaleia mai e ka hoowalewale, a ua lilo iho la ka makou hana i mea ole:
6 But Timothy has just now come 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.
Aka, i ka hoi ana mai nei o Timoteo mai o oukou mai io makou nei, me ka hoike lea mai ia makou i ka pono o ko oukou manaoio ana me ke aloha, a i ko oukou manao maikai mau ana mai ia makou, e ake ana e ike ia makou, e like hoi me makou ia oukou;
7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
No ia mea, e na hoahanau, no ko oukou manaoio, ua oluolu iho nei makou ia oukou iloko o ko makou ehaeha ana, a me ka pilikia a pau.
8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
No ka mea, ano, ua ola makou ke kupaa oukou iloko o ka Haku.
9 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,
Pehea hoi makou e hoomaikai hou aku ai i ke Akua no oukou, no ka olioli a pau a makou e olioli nei ia oukou imua o ko kakou Akua?
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
E pole nui ana i ka po a me ke ao, i ike aku makou i ko oukou maka, a e hoolawa aku hoi i ke koenao ko oukou manaoio.
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
Na ke Akua ko kakou Makua, a me ko kakou Haku na Iesu Kristo makou e alakai pono aku io oukou la.
12 May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,
Na ka Haku hoi oukou e hoo piha a hu aku i ke aloha i kekahi i kekahi, a ia hai ae hoi a pau, e like me makou ia oukou;
13 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.
I hookupaa mai oia i ko oukou naau i kina ole ka hemolele imua o ke Akua, o ko kakou Makua, i ka hiki ana mai o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, me kona poe hoano a pau loa.
