< 1 Thessalonians 3 >

1 Therefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
ܘܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܚܡܤܢܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܦܫ ܒܐܬܢܘܤ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܢ
2 And sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
ܘܢܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܢ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܥܕܪܢܢ ܒܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܢܫܪܪܟܘܢ ܘܢܒܥܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ
3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܬܬܩܛܥ ܠܗ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܤܝܡܝܢܢ
4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
ܐܦ ܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܩܕܡܢ ܐܡܪܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢܢ ܠܡܬܐܠܨܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܗܘܐ
5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܚܡܤܢܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܫܕܪܬ ܕܐܕܥ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܕܠܡܐ ܢܢܤܝܟܘܢ ܡܢܤܝܢܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܡܠܢ ܤܪܝܩܐ
6 But now when Timothy came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܢ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܡܢ ܨܐܕܝܟܘܢ ܘܤܒܪܢ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܘܕܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܘܗܕܢܢ ܛܒܐ ܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܘܤܘܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ
7 Therefore, brethren, by your faith we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress:
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܒܝܐܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܩܬܢ ܘܐܘܠܨܢܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ
8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
ܘܗܫܐ ܗܘ ܚܝܝܢܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ
9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;
ܐܝܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܠܡܦܪܥ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܚܕܝܢܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
ܐܠܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܬܟܫܦ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܓܡܘܪ ܡܐ ܕܚܤܝܪܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ
11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܬܪܘܨ ܐܘܪܚܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
ܘܢܤܓܐ ܘܢܝܬܪ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܚܕ ܠܘܬ ܚܕ ܘܕܠܘܬ ܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܚܒܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ
13 To the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
ܘܢܩܝܡ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܒܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܘܗܝ
