1 Thessalonians 3

1 Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎪᎯᏛ ᎦᏲᎦᏛᏂᏗᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ, ᎣᏏᏳ ᎣᎩᏰᎸᏅᎩ ᎣᎬᏒ ᎣᎩᎧᎯᏯᏍᏗᏱ ᎡᏗᏂᏱ;

2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,

ᎠᎴ ᎣᏥᏅᏒᎩ ᏗᎹᏗ, ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏛᏁᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᏦᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᏣᎵᏂᎪᎯᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᏥᎧᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᏗᏱ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ;

3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏥᏖᎸᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎩᎵᏲᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ; ᎢᏨᏒᏰᏃ ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᎡᎩᏁᏤᎸᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.

4 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.

ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏰᏃ ᏥᏨᏰᎳᏗᏙᎲᎩ, ᏂᏨᏃᏁᎶ ᎢᎩᎩᎵᏲᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏥᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏥᎦᏔᎭ.

5 For this cause I also, when I couldn’t 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.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏓᏳᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅᎩ, ᎿᎭᏉ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎪᎯᏛ ᎬᏆᏛᏂᏗᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ, ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏒᎩ ᎠᏆᏙᎴᎰᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒᎢ, ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏴᏗᎤᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅ ᎠᏓᎪᎵᏰᏍᎩ ᏳᏂᎪᎵᏰᎥ, ᏙᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸᏃ ᎠᏎᏉ ᏱᏄᎵᏍᏔᏂᏙᎸ, ᎠᏇᎵᏒᎩ.

6 But Timothy has just now come 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.

ᎠᏎᏃ ᎿᎭᏉ ᏗᎹᏗ ᎣᎩᎷᏤᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᏗᏤᎲ ᏅᏓᏳᎶᏒᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎠᏰᎸᏗ ᎣᎩᏃᎮᎮᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᎲ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏍᎩᏯᏅᏛᎢ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏣᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᏍᎩᎪᏩᏛᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏴ ᎣᎦᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᎢᏨᎪᏩᏛᏗᏱ;

7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᎢᏨᏯᏓᏅᏖᎸ ᎤᎧᎵᏍᏗ ᎣᎦᏓᏅᏓᏛᎩ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏥᎩᎵᏲᎬ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏪᎵᎯᏍᏗ ᎣᎦᏓᏅᏔᏩᏕᎬᎢ, ᏂᎯ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᏅᏓᏳᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅᎩ.

8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

ᎪᎯᏰᏃ ᏥᎩ ᏦᏨᏃᏛ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᏕᏥᏙᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᏣᏁᎶᏛᎢ.

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,

ᎢᎳᎪᏰᏃ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎠᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᏲᏣᎫᏴᏓᏏ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎠᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏣᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᎬ ᏂᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎣᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏔᎲᎢ;

10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

ᎤᎾᎳᏅᎯᏃ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎩᏙᏓ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎣᎦᏘᏅᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏗᏤᎲᎢ.

12 May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

ᎠᎴ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏁᏉᏤᏗᏱ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏕᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥ ᏕᏥᎨᏳᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎠᏴ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᏒᎢ;

13 to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
