1 Thessalonians 3
1 Wherefore, no longer concealing our anxiety, we were well-pleased to be left in Athens, alone,
Aa zahay tsy nahafifeake ka, le nilahatse t’ie hadoñe am-bangiñe Atena añe,
2 And sent Timothy—our brother, and God’s minister in the glad-message of the Christ—that he might confirm and console you over your faith,
vaho nahitri’ay mb’ama’ areo mb’eo t’i Timoty, rahalahintika naho mpitoron’ Añahare amy talili-soa’ i Norizañeiy, hamente naho hañosike anahareo amy fatokisa’ areo,
3 That, no one, might be shrinking back in these tribulations. For ye, yourselves, know, that, hereunto, are we appointed;
soa tsy ama’areo ty hembere’ o faloviloviañe zao; fe fohi’ areo te izay ty nanendreañ’ antika.
4 For, even when we were with you, we told you beforehand—we are destined to suffer tribulation! even as it also came to pass, and ye know.
Ie mbe tama’ areo ao le nitaroña’ay te fa antitotse ty hampisarerahañe an-tikañe; ie o oni’ areo te zoeñeo.
5 For this cause, I also, no longer concealing my anxiety, sent, that I might get to know your faith, lest by any means he that tempteth, should have tempted you, and, in vain, should have been our toil.
Ie amy zay, tsy nahafeake ka iraho, le nahitriko ty handrendreke ty fatokisa’ areo, hera nazi’ i mpañìnjey, vaho ho nilesa i fitoloña’aiy.
6 But, when, just now, Timothy came unto us, from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, —and that ye have good remembrance of us, continually, longing to see, us, —even as, we also, to see you,
Fa ie pok’ eo hirik’ ama’ areo t’i Timoty, le nitalilie’e soa o fatokisa’ areo naho i fikokoañey, vaho t’ie nainai’e mitiahy anahareo an-kasoa, mañiry hahaisake anay hambañe ami’ty fisalala’ay hahatrea anahareo.
7 For this cause, were we consoled, brethren, over you, in all our necessity and tribulation, through your faith;
ie amy zao ry longo, amo faloviloviañe naho fanilofañe anaio fe nampanintsiñ’ anay ty fatokisa’ areo.
8 Because, now, we live, —if only, ye, stand fast in the Lord.
Velon-jahay henaneo, amy t’ie mijohañe amy Talè ao.
9 For what thanksgiving can we render back, unto God, concerning you, on occasion of all the joy wherewith we rejoice, for your sakes, before our God?—
Akore ty fañandriaña’ay an’ Andrianañahare hamale ty hafaleañe hirebeha’ay anahareo añatrefan’ Añaharen-tika,
10 Night and day, making very abundant entreaties, that we may see your face, and fit in the things which are lacking in your faith?
aa le mitolon-kalaly handro an-kalen-jahay hahaisake ty lahara’ areo, hañeneke ze tsy eneñe ami’ty fatokisa’ areo.
11 Now may, our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus, make straight our way unto you:
I Andrianañahare Raentika vaho i Talèntika Iesoà abey ro hañavantañe ty lala’ay mb’ama’ areo añe;
12 And, you, may the Lord cause to abound and excel in your love one toward another, and toward all, —even as, we, do toward you:
naho hampitomboe’ i Talè nahareo naho o ila’e iabio hiraorao an-koko, hambañe ami’ty anay ho anahareo,
13 To the end he may confirms your hearts, faultless in holiness, before our God and Father, in the Presence of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
hampijadoñe o arofo’ areoo tsy aman-tahy, miavake, añatrefan’ Añahare naho Raentikañe ami’ty fitotsaha’ i Talèntika Iesoà rekets’ o hene noro’eo.
