1 Thessalonians 3
1 For this reason, enduring no longer, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,
A I hiki ole ia makou ke hoomanawanui hou aku, manao iho la makou he pono ke waiho hookahi ia mai ma Atenai.
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,
A ua hoouna aku la ia Timoteo, o ko kakou hoahanau, he mea lawehana na ke Akua, a o ko makou hoalawehana ma ka euanelio o Kristo, e hooikaika aku oia ia oukou, a e hooluolu hoi ia oukou i ko oukou manaoio ana;
3 that no one be moved in these tribulations, for you have known that we are set for this,
I hoonaue ole ia kekahi e keia mau pilikia; no ka mea, ua ike no oukou, ua haawiia mai ia mau mea no kakou.
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];
No ka mea, i ko makou noho pu ana me oukou, na hai e aku makou ia oukou, e hoinoia'na kakou; a ua hiki mai la no ia pela, ua ike hoi oukou.
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.
Nolaila, i ka pono ole ia'u ke hoomanawanui hou aku, ua hoouna aku la au e ike i ko oukou manaoio, o lilo paha oukou i ka hoowalewaleia mai e ka hoowalewale, a ua lilo iho la ka makou hana i mea ole:
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,
Aka, i ka hoi ana mai nei o Timoteo mai o oukou mai io makou nei, me ka hoike lea mai ia makou i ka pono o ko oukou manaoio ana me ke aloha, a i ko oukou manao maikai mau ana mai ia makou, e ake ana e ike ia makou, e like hoi me makou ia oukou;
7 because of this we were comforted, brothers, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,
No ia mea, e na hoahanau, no ko oukou manaoio, ua oluolu iho nei makou ia oukou iloko o ko makou ehaeha ana, a me ka pilikia a pau.
8 because now we live, if you may stand fast in the LORD.
No ka mea, ano, ua ola makou ke kupaa oukou iloko o ka Haku.
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,
Pehea hoi makou e hoomaikai hou aku ai i ke Akua no oukou, no ka olioli a pau a makou e olioli nei ia oukou imua o ko kakou Akua?
10 exceedingly imploring night and day, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith?
E pole nui ana i ka po a me ke ao, i ike aku makou i ko oukou maka, a e hoolawa aku hoi i ke koenao ko oukou manaoio.
11 And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you,
Na ke Akua ko kakou Makua, a me ko kakou Haku na Iesu Kristo makou e alakai pono aku io oukou la.
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,
Na ka Haku hoi oukou e hoo piha a hu aku i ke aloha i kekahi i kekahi, a ia hai ae hoi a pau, e like me makou ia oukou;
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.
I hookupaa mai oia i ko oukou naau i kina ole ka hemolele imua o ke Akua, o ko kakou Makua, i ka hiki ana mai o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, me kona poe hoano a pau loa.
