1 Thessalonians 3
1 Therefore, when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind 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 sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the Good News of Messiah, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning 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 one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
4 For truly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
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 For this cause I also, when I could not stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
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 when Timothy came just now 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, even as we also long to see 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 for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction 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 now we live, since you stand firm in the Lord.
re ka itshokela sengwe le sengwe fela fa re itse gore lo eme ka nonofo mo go ene.
9 For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice 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 we may see your face, and may perfect 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 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Yeshua, direct our way to you;
A Modimo Rara wa rona ka sebele le Morena wa rona Jesu ba re rome gape kwa go lona.
12 and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love for one another and for all, even as we also do 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 the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Yeshua with all his kadoshim.
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.
