1 Teselonqe 3

1 Hessa gisho, nuus genccanaw dandda7ettonna ixxin, Ateena kataman nurkka attanaw qofa qachchida.

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

2 Hinttena zoranaadanne ammanon hinttena minthethanaada nuura issife Xoossas ootheyssanne Kiristtoosa Wonggelaa odiya nu ishaa Ximotiyoosa hintteko kiittida.

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,

3 Hinttena gakkida goodan hinttefe oonikka guye simmofo. He gooday nuus Xoossaa shene gideyssa hinttee, hintte huu7en ereeta.

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

4 Nu hinttera de7iya wode goodi gakkanayssa hinttew koyrottidi odida. Hintte ereyssa mela hessada hanis.

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.

5 Hessa gisho, taw genccanaw dandda7ettona ixxin, “Ooni eri Xalahey entta paaccidi nu daaburaa mela ashshonna aggenna” gada hintte ammanuwabaa eranaw Ximotiyoosa hintteko kiittas.

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 labour would have been in vain.

6 Ha77i Ximotiyoosi hintte matappe yidi, hintte ammanuwabaanne hintte siiquwabaa lo77o wore nuus odis. Qassi hintte ubba wode nuus lo77o qoppeyssanne nuuni hinttena be7anaw laamoteyssada hintteka nuna be7anaw laamoteyssa I nuus odis.

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.

7 Ta ishato, nuna gakkiya waayaninne nu meto ubban hintte ammanuwa gisho hinttenan minettida.

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

8 Hintte Godan minnidi de7ikko nukka de7on de7oos.

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

9 Hiza, nuuni hintte gaason demmida ufayssas Xoossaa waati galatino?

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,

10 Nuuni hinttena be7anawunne hintte ammanuwan paccidabaa kunthanaw qammanne gallas nu kumetha wozanan Xoossaa woossos.

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

11 Xoossay nu aaway ba huu7eninne nu Goday Yesuus Kiristtoosi nu hintteko baana ogiya giigiso.

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

12 Nu hinttena daro doseyssada Goday hintte issoy issuwa siiqiya siiqonne ase ubbaa siiqiya siiqo hinttew darssonne gujjo.

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

13 Nu Goday Yesuus Kiristtoosi ba geeshshatara yaa wode Xoossaa, nu aawa sinthan hintte wozanay geeshshinne borey baynnayssa oothidi I hinttena minthethana.

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.
