1 Thessalonians 3
1 Wherefore since we could no longer forbare, wee thought it good to remaine at Athens alone,
Lwa bofelo, erile fa ke sa tlhole ke ka kgona go itshoka, ke ne ka ikaelela go nna nosi mo Athena,
2 And haue sent Timotheus our brother and minister of God, and our labour felow in the Gospel of Christ, to stablish you, and to comfort you touching your faith,
Ka roma Timotheo, mokaulengwe wa rona le modiri ka rona, morongwa wa Modimo, go lo letela go nonotsha tumelo ya lona, go lo kgothatsa le go lo tshegetsa e se re kgotsa lwa nyema moko ka ntlha ya mathata a lo neng lo feta mo go one. (Mme legale lo itse gore matshwenyego a a ntsengjalo ke bontlha-bongwe jwa leano la Modimo mo go rona Bakeresete.
3 That no man should be moued with these afflictions: for ye your selues knowe, that we are appointed thereunto.
4 For verily when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulations, euen as it came to passe, and ye knowe it.
Le re santse re na le lona re ne ra lo tlhagisa pele ga nako gore pogiso e tlaa tloga e tla, mme e ne ya tla.)
5 Euen for this cause, when I could no longer forbeare, I sent him that I might knowe of your faith, lest the tempter had tempted you in any sort, and that our labour had bene in vaine.
Jaaka ke boletse, erile ke retelelwa ke go itshoka, ka roma Timotheo go tla go bona gore a tumelo ya lona e santse e nonofile. Ke ne ke boifa gore kgotsa Satane o setse a lo raetse le gore tiro ya rona e setse e le lefela.
6 But now lately when Timotheus came from you vnto vs, and brought vs good tidings of your faith and loue, and that ye haue good remembrance of vs alwayes, desiring to see vs, as we also do you,
Mme jaanong Timotheo o setse a boile mme o tsile ka dikgang tse di monate tse di reng tumelo ya lona le lorato di santse di nonofile fela jaaka gale, le gore lo gakologelwa loeto lwa rona ka boitumelo le gore lo batla go re bona fela thata jaaka le rona re batla go lo bona.
7 Therefore, brethren, we had consolation in you, in all our affliction and necessitie through your faith.
Jalo re gomotsegile thata, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, mo matshwenyegong otlhe a a re pitlaganyeditseng le mo pogisegong kwano, mme e re ka re itse gore lo eme ka boammaaruri mo Moreneng,
8 For nowe are wee aliue, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
re ka itshokela sengwe le sengwe fela fa re itse gore lo eme ka nonofo mo go ene.
9 For what thankes can wee recompense to God againe for you, for all the ioy wherewith we reioyce for your sakes before our God,
Re ka leboga Modimo thata jang kaga lona le kaga boitumelo le lorato lo lo lo re neileng ka ntlha ya go lo rapelela?
10 Night and day, praying exceedingly that wee might see your face, and might accomplish that which is lacking in your faith?
Gonne bosigo le motshegare re tswelela ka go lo rapelela, re kopa Modimo gore o re kopanye le lona gape, go kaba diphatlha dingwe tse dinnye tse di ka neng di santse di le mo tumelong ya lona.
11 Nowe God himselfe, euen our Father, and our Lord Iesus Christ, guide our iourney vnto you,
A Modimo Rara wa rona ka sebele le Morena wa rona Jesu ba re rome gape kwa go lona.
12 And the Lord increase you, and make you abound in loue one toward another, and towarde all men, euen as we doe toward you:
Gape a Morena a dire lorato lwa lona gore lo gole lo bo lo penologele mo go mongwe le mongwe, fela jaaka lorato lwa rona lo penologela kwa go lona.
13 To make your hearts stable and vnblameable in holines before God euen our Father, at the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ with all his Saints.
Mo go tlaa dira gore dipelo tsa lona di nonotshiwe, di tlhoke boleo di bo di itshepisiwe ke Modimo Rraa rona, gore lo tle lo eme fa pele ga one mo letsatsing leo lo sena molato fa Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete a bowa le botlhe bao ba e leng ba gagwe.
