1 Thessalonians 3

1 For this reason, enduring no longer, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,

ato'haṁ yadā sandehaṁ punaḥ soḍhuṁ nāśaknuvaṁ tadānīm āthīnīnagara ekākī sthātuṁ niścitya

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,

svabhrātaraṁ khrīṣṭasya susaṁvāde sahakāriṇañceśvarasya paricārakaṁ tīmathiyaṁ yuṣmatsamīpam apreṣayaṁ|

3 that no one be moved in these tribulations, for you have known that we are set for this,

varttamānaiḥ kleśaiḥ kasyāpi cāñcalyaṁ yathā na jāyate tathā te tvayā sthirīkriyantāṁ svakīyadharmmamadhi samāśvāsyantāñceti tam ādiśaṁ|

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];

vayametādṛśe kleśe niyuktā āsmaha iti yūyaṁ svayaṁ jānītha, yato'smākaṁ durgati rbhaviṣyatīti vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpe sthitikāle'pi yuṣmān abodhayāma, tādṛśameva cābhavat tadapi jānītha|

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.

tasmāt parīkṣakeṇa yuṣmāsu parīkṣiteṣvasmākaṁ pariśramo viphalo bhaviṣyatīti bhayaṁ soḍhuṁ yadāhaṁ nāśaknuvaṁ tadā yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya tattvāvadhāraṇāya tam apreṣayaṁ|

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,

kintvadhunā tīmathiyo yuṣmatsamīpād asmatsannidhim āgatya yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsapremaṇī adhyasmān suvārttāṁ jñāpitavān vayañca yathā yuṣmān smarāmastathā yūyamapyasmān sarvvadā praṇayena smaratha draṣṭum ākāṅkṣadhve ceti kathitavān|

7 because of this we were comforted, brothers, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

he bhrātaraḥ, vārttāmimāṁ prāpya yuṣmānadhi viśeṣato yuṣmākaṁ kleśaduḥkhānyadhi yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsād asmākaṁ sāntvanājāyata;

8 because now we live, if you may stand fast in the LORD.

yato yūyaṁ yadi prabhāvavatiṣṭhatha tarhyanena vayam adhunā jīvāmaḥ|

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,

vayañcāsmadīyeśvarasya sākṣād yuṣmatto jātena yenānandena praphullā bhavāmastasya kṛtsnasyānandasya yogyarūpeṇeśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadituṁ kathaṁ śakṣyāmaḥ?

10 exceedingly imploring night and day, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith?

vayaṁ yena yuṣmākaṁ vadanāni draṣṭuṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāse yad asiddhaṁ vidyate tat siddhīkarttuñca śakṣyāmastādṛśaṁ varaṁ divāniśaṁ prārthayāmahe|

11 And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you,

asmākaṁ tāteneśvareṇa prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭena ca yuṣmatsamīpagamanāyāsmākaṁ panthā sugamaḥ kriyatāṁ|

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,

parasparaṁ sarvvāṁśca prati yuṣmākaṁ prema yuṣmān prati cāsmākaṁ prema prabhunā varddhyatāṁ bahuphalaṁ kriyatāñca|

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.

aparamasmākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaḥ svakīyaiḥ sarvvaiḥ pavitralokaiḥ sārddhaṁ yadāgamiṣyati tadā yūyaṁ yathāsmākaṁ tātasyeśvarasya sammukhe pavitratayā nirdoṣā bhaviṣyatha tathā yuṣmākaṁ manāṁsi sthirīkriyantāṁ|
