1 Thessalonians 3
1 For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone:
Akyire no a yɛhunuu sɛ yɛyɛ ho hwee a ɛnyɛ yie no, yɛyɛɛ yɛn adwene sɛ yɛbɛtena Atene.
2 And we sent Timothy, our brother, and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith:
Enti, yɛsomaa yɛn nua Timoteo a yɛne no yɛ Onyankopɔn adwuma no sɛ ɔnkɔka Asɛmpa a ɛfa Kristo ho mfa mmoa, nhyɛ mo gyidie den,
3 That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know, that we are appointed thereunto.
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔtaa no enti, mo mu biara mmɔ hu. Mo ara monim sɛ saa ɔtaa no yɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ a wahyehyɛ ama yɛn.
4 For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations, as also it is come to pass, and you know.
Ɛberɛ a na yɛne mo wɔ hɔ no, yɛdii ɛkan ka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, wɔbɛtaa yɛn, na sɛdeɛ monim no, saa pɛpɛɛpɛ na aba yi.
5 For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you, and our labour should be made vain.
Yei enti, ɛsiane sɛ na asɛm no hyɛ me so enti, mesomaa Timoteo sɛ ɔmmɛhwehwɛ mo gyidie mu. Mewɔ anidasoɔ sɛ ɔbonsam ansɔ mo anhwɛ amma dwuma yɛadi no nyinaa anyɛ kwa.
6 But now when Timothy came to us from you, and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you;
Afei, Timoteo afiri mo nkyɛn aba yɛn nkyɛn abɛka anigyesɛm a ɛfa mo gyidie ne mo dɔ ho asɛm akyerɛ yɛn. Waka akyerɛ yɛn sɛ daa modwene yɛn ho adwene pa na mopɛ sɛ mohunu yɛn sɛdeɛ yɛn nso yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhunu mo no ara pɛ.
7 Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith,
Enti, yɛn haw ne yɛn amanehunu no mu no, moahyɛ yɛn nkuran,
8 Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.
ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ mogyina pintinn wɔ Awurade mu a, na ɛma yɛn nso yɛtumi gyina biribiara ano wɔ yɛn asetena mu.
9 For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,
Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛda Onyankopɔn ase ma mo. Mo enti, yɛda Onyankopɔn ase sɛ moama yɛn ho asɛpɛ yɛn wɔ nʼanim.
10 Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face, and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?
Daa awia ne anadwo, yɛfiri yɛn akoma nyinaa mu srɛ no sɛ, ɔmma yɛne mo nhyia na yɛmma mo deɛ ɛhia mo wɔ mo gyidie mu.
11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
Ɔno ara yɛn Onyankopɔn ne Agya no ankasa ne yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo nsiesie kwan na yɛmmra mo nkyɛn.
12 And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in charity towards one another, and towards all men: as we do also towards you,
Awurade mma mo dɔ mu nyɛ den mmoro so wɔ mo ho mo ho ne afoforɔ mu, sɛdeɛ yɛn nso yɛdɔ mo no.
13 To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.
Mebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ Awurade ne ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa ba a, ɔbɛma mo akoma mu ayɛ kronkron a nkekaawa biara nni mu wɔ Agya Onyankopɔn anim.
