1 Teslonqqe 3

1 Hessa gish nuus danda7etontta ixxin he wode Atenan nurkka nu attanayss nuus loo7o gidi beettides.

So when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone

2 Intena ammanon minththana mala nunara asas Kiristtossa miishshirachcho qaala yootiza Xoossa ashikara gidida ximotoosa inteko yeddidos.

and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, also our fellow worker in the Gospel of Christ, to confirm you and encourage you concerning your faith,

3 Hessika hayssa paccezan oonkka ammanope qanxxontta malako; nukka hayssas dooretidayssa inteka errista.

that no one be unsettled by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

4 Nu qasse intenara diza wode waayey nu bolla gakkanayssa kasetidi intes yootidos; Inte erriza malakka hanides.

For indeed, when we were with you we kept telling you in advance that we were going to be afflicted; just as it happened, in fact, as you know.

5 Hessa gish ayikkoka ta genccecin taas danddaetoontta ixxida gish inte ammano gish erranas gaada ximotoosa kiitadis. Ta hessa oothiday ooni errize paaccizadey istta paaccin haanni wode nu daaburay wurkka mela gidontta aggena ga babbida gishaskko.

Yes, that is why, no longer standing it, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had successfully tempted you and our labor come to be for nothing.

6 Hai qasse Ximotoossay inte achchafe nukko yidi inte ammano gishshine inte siiqotetha gish loo7o wore nuna sissidees. Qasseka inte wursso wode nuna looethi qooppizayssane nukka intena beyanas laamotiza mala inteka nuna beyanas laamotizayssa nuus yootides.

But now that Timothy has 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, just as we also long to see you

7 Hessa gish nu ishato nu dizay waayenine meto garththan gidikkoka inte ammano gaason intenan hai nu minetoos.

—because of this, brothers, in all our affliction and distress we were encouraged about you by your faith;

8 Inte Godan minni eqqida gish tumape hai nu paxa daana.

for now we live, if you are standing firm in the Lord.

9 Inte geedon nu Xoossa sinththan nu demmida ufayssa wursso gish Xoossa aymala galatanas danddaizon?

With what thankfulness can we repay God for you, for all the joy with which we are rejoicing in the presence of our God because of you;

10 Qasseka nu intena beyanasine inte ammanope paccidayssa kunththanas omarththine gallas keehi woossos.

praying most earnestly night and day, that we may see your face and complete the things lacking in your faith?

11 haikka nu intekko baana mala nu Aaway Xoossi Goda Yesuss Kiristtossay ogeza izi nuusu suuriso.

Now may our God and Father Himself and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way to you.

12 Nu intena siiqqiza mala intes inte garththan diza siiqqone inte harata siiqqiza siiqqoza Goday darththone keezi gujjo.

And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love toward each other and toward all, just as we also do toward you,

13 Nu Goda Yesuss Kiristtossay geeshshata wurssotara yiza wode nu Aawa Godaa Xoossa sinththan inte wothoy baynddaytane geeshshata gididi beettana mala inte wozina izi minsso.

so as to establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His holy ones.
