1 Thessalonians 3
1 Therefore when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
Idi saanmin ngarud a kabaelan a baklayen daytoy, napanunotmi a nasaysayaat iti mabati idiay Atenas.
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,
Imbaonmi ni Timoteo, a kabsattayo ken adipen ti Dios iti ebanghelio ni Cristo, tapno papigsaen ken liwliwaennakayo maipanggep iti pammatiyo.
3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
Inaramidmi daytoy tapno awan iti siasinoman a mariribukan kadakayo babaen kadagitoy a panagsagaba. Ta ammoyo mismo a nadutokankami gapu iti daytoy.
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.
Kinapudnona, idi addakami kadakayo, impakpakaunami nga imbaga kadakayo a dandanikamin nga agsagaba iti pannakaparigat, ket napasamak dayta, kas ammoyo.
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.
Ta maigapu iti daytoy, idi saankon a kabaelan a takderan daytoy, nangibaonak tapno maamoak koma ti maipanggep iti pammatiyo. Ta amangan ketdi a sinulisognakayo iti manulsulisog, ken agbalin nga awan serbina ti trabahomi.
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.
Ngem immay ni Timoteo kadakami manipud kadakayo ket inyegna kadakami ti naimbag a damag iti pammati ken ayatyo. Imbagana kadakami a kankanayon nga adda iti nasayaat a pakalaglagipanyo kadakami, ken mailiwkayo a makakita kadakami a kas iti iliwmi met a makakita kadakayo.
7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
Gapu iti daytoy, kakabsat, naliwliwakami babaen kadakayo gapu iti pammatiyo, kadagiti amin a leddaang ken rigrigatmi.
8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
Ta agbiagkami ita, no agtakderkayo a natibker iti Apo.
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,
Ta ania a panagyaman iti mabalin nga itedmi iti Dios para kadakayo, kadagiti amin a rag-o nga adda kadakami iti sangoanan iti Dios gapu kadakayo?
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Rabii ken aldaw nga agkarkararagkami a sipapasnek tapno makitami koma dagiti rupayo ken maitedmi ti agkurkurang kadagiti pammatiyo.
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
Sapay koma nga iti Diostayo ken iti mismo nga Ama, kenni Apotayo a ni Jesus ket iturongna iti dalanmi kadakayo.
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,
Sapay koma ta aramiden iti Apo a dumakkel ken aglaplapusanan ti ayat iti maysa ken maysa ken kadagiti amin a tattao, a kas aramidenmi met kadakayo.
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.
Sapay koma ta aramidenna daytoy tapno mapapigsa dagiti pusoyo nga awan iti pakapilawanna iti kinasanto iti sangoanan ti Dios ken Ama, iti iyuumay ni Apotayo a ni Jesus a kaduana dagiti amin a sasantona.
