1 Thessalonians 3
1 So when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone
Kanaafuu nu waan hammana caalaa obsuu dadhabneef kophaa keenya Ateenaatti hafuun gaarii nutti fakkaate.
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, also our fellow worker in the Gospel of Christ, to confirm you and encourage you concerning your faith,
Nus obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos, tajaajilaa Waaqaa isa wangeela Kiristoosiitti hojjetaa hidhata keenya taʼe sana, akka inni amantii keessanitti isin cimsuu fi isin jajjabeessuuf ergineerra;
3 that no one be unsettled by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
kunis akka namni tokko iyyuu dhiphina kanaan hin jeeqamneef. Isinis akka nu waan kanaaf filatamne sirriitti beektu.
4 For indeed, when we were with you we kept telling you in advance that we were going to be afflicted; just as it happened, in fact, as you know.
Yeroo isin bira turretti akka dhiphinni nurra gaʼu isinitti himaa turreetii. Innis akkuma isin beektan sana taʼe.
5 Yes, that is why, no longer standing it, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had successfully tempted you and our labor come to be for nothing.
Sababii kanaaf ani yommuun kana caalaa obsuu dadhabetti waaʼee amantii keessanii baruuf jedheen isa erge. Tarii inni nama qoru sun isin qoree dadhabbiin keenyas faayidaa malee hafeera jedheen sodaadhe.
6 But now that Timothy has 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, just as we also long to see you
Amma garuu Xiimotewos isin biraa gara keenya dhufee waaʼee amantii keessaniitii fi waaʼee jaalala keessanii oduu gaarii nutti himeera. Akkasumas akka isin yeroo hunda yaada gaariidhaan nu yaaddanii fi akkuma nu isin arguu hawwinu sana akka isinis nu arguu hawwitan nutti himeera.
7 —because of this, brothers, in all our affliction and distress we were encouraged about you by your faith;
Kanaaf yaa obboloota, nu dhiphinaa fi ariʼatama keenya hunda keessatti amantii keessaniin waaʼee keessan jajjabaanneerra.
8 for now we live, if you are standing firm in the Lord.
Yoo isin Gooftaatti cimtanii dhaabatan nu dhugumaan ni jiraannaatii.
9 With what thankfulness can we repay God for you, for all the joy with which we are rejoicing in the presence of our God because of you;
Gammachuu sababii keessaniin fuula Waaqa keenyaa duratti qabnu hundaaf waaʼee keessaniif hammam Waaqa galateeffachuu dandeenya?
10 praying most earnestly night and day, that we may see your face and complete the things lacking in your faith?
Nu akka deebinee isin arginuu fi waan amantii keessan keessaa hirʼates akka isinii guutuu dandeenyuuf halkanii guyyaa cimsinee kadhanna.
11 Now may our God and Father Himself and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way to you.
Ammas Waaqni keenyaa fi Abbaan keenya mataan isaa, Gooftaan keenya Yesuusis akka nu gara keessan dhufnu karaa nuuf haa qajeelchu.
12 And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love toward each other and toward all, just as we also do toward you,
Akkuma jaalalli nu isinii qabnu dabalaa deemu sana Gooftaan jaalala isin walii keessanii fi nama hundaaf qabdan isinii haa guddisuu; haa baayʼisus.
13 so as to establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His holy ones.
Akka isin yommuu Gooftaan keenya Yesuus qulqulloota isaa hunda wajjin dhufutti fuula Waaqa keenyaatii fi Abbaa keenyaa duratti warra mudaa hin qabnee fi qulqulloota taataniifis inni garaa keessan haa jajjabeessu.
