1 Thessalonians 3
1 For this reason, enduring no longer, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,
Nitu ki, a tie ta ya ndu ki nji'u, kina si ya ndi abi toh bi don ta zi ni Athens kpa mbu.
2 and sent Timotheus—our brother, and a servant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ—to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,
Ki ton Timoti, vayi mbu ni ikpan tie ndu mbu ni Irji ni tre Kristi, dun ki no yi gbemgble ndi ka suron mbi kusi nitu yo shishi mbi.
3 that no one be moved in these tribulations, for you have known that we are set for this,
Ki tie ki don ko ri mbi duna klu sissri nitu iya wa ahe'a na. U biyi ni ki-mbi bi toh ndi nitu kii ba chu ta no ta ndi ki.
4 for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand that we are about to suffer tribulation, as it also came to pass, and you have known [it];
Njanji, wa kina he yayi'a, ki bla hla ni yiwu ni gbagbla ndi ki he ni gbugbu ya ni ko shishi, u ahe naki, nawa bi to'a.
5 because of this also, I, no longer enduring, sent to know your faith, lest he who is tempting tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.
Nitu naki, u wa ime me a tie me ya dun mi kri, mi ton ndi don dun mi ton nitu yo suron mbi. U ani ya he ndi memme'a ye gyru yi nda du indu mbu a duna tie-tu na.
6 And Timotheus now having come to us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that you always have a good remembrance of us, desiring much to see us, as we also [to see] you,
U Timoti ye nita rji niyi nda njiye nitawu itre ndindi ma wa bi ka suron mbi yo ni Irji. A hla ni tawu ndi chachu bi rhi mre mbu bi, ndi bi son bi toh ta nawa kita ngame ki yo shi si ya nkon u toh yi.
7 because of this we were comforted, brothers, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,
Nitu kii, mri vayi, biyi mba bi kpa suron mbu si nitu wa bi nji Irji gbamgba me, ni mi-ya wa kisi tie.
8 because now we live, if you may stand fast in the LORD.
Ni zizan ki kuson, toh bi kri gbamgba ni Irji.
9 For what thanks are we able to repay to God for you, for all the joy with which we delight because of you in the presence of our God,
Ahi nge ni he ngiri mbu nitu mbi, u wawu si-suron mbu ni shishi Irji wa ki he niwu nitu mbi'a?
10 exceedingly imploring night and day, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith?
Ni-chu mba ni-rji ki vuh bre gbamgba me ndu ki toh shishi mbi ndi zo yi ni wirji wa bi kunyre ni nkoh Irji.
11 And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you,
Ki bre ndi Irji ni Titi mbu ni Lima, mba Bachi mbu Yesu dun tsro ta nkon ye ni yi.
12 and the LORD cause you to increase and to abound in the love to one another, and to all, even as we also to you,
Ki bre dun Irji du no yi gbemgble ni suron u son kpa mbi ndi son wawu ndji, na wa kita ngame ki tie ni yi.
13 in order to have established your hearts, blameless in sanctification before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His holy ones.
Ibre mbu hi dun Irji no suron mbi gbemgble u tie ndindi nda hama ni lla tre ni shishi Irji, Iti mbu, ni ye u Bachi mbu Yesu ni biwa ba huu bi.
