1 Thessalonians 3

1 Therefore no longer enduring we thought it best to be left behind in Athens alone

この故に、もはや忍ぶこと能はず、我等のみアテネに留ることに決し、

2 and we sent Timothy the brother of us and (servant *KO*) (and *K*) fellow worker (of us *K*) of God in the gospel of Christ in order to strengthen you and to encourage (you *k*) (concerning *N(k)O*) the faith of you,

キリストの福音において神の役者たる我らの兄弟テモテを汝らに遣せり。これは汝らを堅うし、また信仰につきて勸め、

3 (*N(k)O*) no one [is] to be moved by tribulations these; Yourselves for you know that for this we are destined;

この患難によりて動かさるる者の無からん爲なり。患難に遭ふことの我らに定りたるは、汝 等みづから知る所なり。

4 And indeed when with you we were, we were telling beforehand you that we are about to suffer affliction even as also it came to pass and you know;

我らが患難に遭ふべきことは、汝らと偕に在りしとき預じめ告げたるが、今 果して汝らの知るごとく然か成れり。

5 Because of this I myself also I myself also no longer enduring I sent in order to know the faith of you, lest perhaps tempted you the [one] tempting and in vain may be the labor of us.

この故に最早われ忍ぶこと能はず、試むる者の汝らを試みて、我らの勞の空しくならんことを恐れ、なんぢらの信仰を知らんとて人を遣せり。

6 Presently however when was coming Timothy to us from you and having evangelised to us of the faith and the love of you and that you have a remembrance of us good always longing us to see just as also we ourselves you,

然るに今テモテ汝らより歸りて、汝らの信仰と愛とにつきて喜ばしき音信を聞かせ、又なんぢら常に我らを懇ろに念ひ、我らに逢はんことを切に望み居るは、我らが汝らに逢はんことを望むに等しと告げたるによりて、

7 because of this we were encouraged, brothers, as to you in all the distress and tribulation of us through your faith;

兄弟よ、われらは諸般の苦難と患難との中にも、汝らの信仰によりて慰安を得たり。

8 For now we live, if you yourselves (are standing firm *N(k)O*) in [the] Lord.

汝 等もし主に在りて堅く立たば我らは生くるなり。

9 What for thanksgiving are we able to God to give concerning you in return for all the joy that we rejoice because of you before the God of us,

汝 等につきて我らの神の前によろこぶ大なる喜悦のために、如何なる感謝をか神に献ぐべき。

10 by night and day super overexcessively super overexcessively super overexcessively imploring for [us] to see your face and to supply the [things] lacking in the faith of you?

我らは夜晝 祈りて、汝らの顏を見んことと、汝らの信仰の足らぬ所を補はんこととを切に願ふ。

11 Himself now the God and Father of us and the Lord of us Jesus (Christ *K*) would direct the way of us to you;

願はくは我らの父なる神みづからと我らの主なるイエスと、我らを導きて汝らに到らせ給はんことを。

12 You now the Lord would make to increase and He would abound in love toward one another and toward all just as also we ourselves toward you

願はくは主、なんぢら相 互の愛および凡ての人に對する愛を増し、かつ豐にして、我らが汝らを愛する如くならしめ、

13 in order to strengthen your hearts blameless in holiness before the God and Father of us at the coming of the Lord of us Jesus (Christ *K*) with all the saints of Him (Amen. *N*)

かくして汝らの心を堅うし、我らの主イエスの、凡ての聖徒と偕に來りたまふ時、われらの父なる神の前に潔くして責むべき所なからしめ給はんことを。
