1 Tessalonikawa 3
1 Saboda haka da muka kāsa daurewa, sai muka ga ya fi kyau a bar mu a Atens mu kaɗai.
Because of this, willing to wait no longer, it was pleasing to us to remain at Athens, alone.
2 Muka aiki Timoti, wanda yake ɗan’uwanmu da kuma abokin aikin Allah a cikin yaɗa bisharar Kiristi, don yă gina ku yă kuma ƙarfafa ku cikin bangaskiyarku,
And we sent Timothy, our brother and a minister of God in the Gospel of Christ, to confirm you and to exhort you, on behalf of your faith,
3 don kada kowa yă raunana ta wurin waɗannan gwaje-gwajen. Kun sani sarai cewa an ƙaddara mu don waɗannan.
so that no one would be disturbed during these tribulations. For you yourselves know that we have been appointed to this.
4 Gaskiyar ita ce, sa’ad da muke tare da ku, mun sha gaya muku cewa za a tsananta mana. Haka kuwa ya faru, kamar dai yadda kuka sani.
For even while we were with you, we predicted to you that we would suffer tribulations, even as it has happened, and as you know.
5 Saboda wannan, sa’ad da ban iya jimrewa ba, sai na aika domin in sami labarin bangaskiyarku, da fata kada yă zama mai jarraban nan ya riga ya jarrabce ku, ƙoƙarinmu kuma yă zama banza.
For this reason also, I was not willing to wait any longer, and I sent to find out about your faith, lest perhaps he who tempts may have tempted you, and our labor might have been in vain.
6 Amma ga shi yanzu Timoti ya dawo mana daga wurinku ya kuma kawo labari mai daɗi game da bangaskiyarku da kuma ƙaunarku. Ya faɗa mana yadda kullum kuke da tunani mai kyau a kanmu, yadda kuke marmari ku gan mu, kamar dai yadda mu ma muke marmari mu gan ku.
But then, when Timothy arrived to us from you, he reported to us your faith and charity, and that you keep a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, just as we likewise desire to see you.
7 Saboda haka’yan’uwa, cikin dukan damuwarmu da tsananinmu an ƙarfafa mu game da ku saboda bangaskiyarku.
As a result, we were consoled in you, brothers, in the midst of all our difficulties and tribulations, through your faith.
8 Gama yanzu tabbatacce muna da rai, da yake kuna nan tsaye daram a cikin Ubangiji.
For we now live so that you may stand firm in the Lord.
9 Wace irin godiya ce za mu yi wa Allah saboda ku a kan dukan farin cikin da muke da shi a gaban Allahnmu ta dalilinku?
For what thanks would we be able to repay to God because of you, for all the joy with which we rejoice over you before our God?
10 Dare da rana muna addu’a da himma domin mu sāke ganinku, mu kuma ba ku abin da kuka rasa a bangaskiyarku.
For night and day, ever more abundantly, we are praying that we may see your face, and that we may complete those things that are lacking in your faith.
11 Yanzu bari Allahnmu da Ubanmu kansa da kuma Ubangijinmu Yesu yă shirya mana hanya mu zo wurinku.
But may God our Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
12 Ubangiji yă sa ƙaunarku ta ƙaru ta kuma yalwata ga juna da kuma ga kowa, kamar yadda tamu take muku.
And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in your charity toward one another and toward all, just as we also do toward you,
13 Bari yă ƙarfafa zukatanku har ku zama marasa aibi da kuma tsarkaka a gaban Allahnmu da Ubanmu sa’ad da Ubangijimmu Yesu ya dawo tare da dukan tsarkakansa.
in order to confirm your hearts without blame, in sanctity, before God our Father, unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.
