1 Tessalonikawa 3
1 Saboda haka da muka kāsa daurewa, sai muka ga ya fi kyau a bar mu a Atens mu kaɗai.
Wherefore, no longer concealing our anxiety, we were well-pleased to be left in 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 sent Timothy—our brother, and God’s minister in the glad-message of the Christ—that he might confirm and console you over your faith,
3 don kada kowa yă raunana ta wurin waɗannan gwaje-gwajen. Kun sani sarai cewa an ƙaddara mu don waɗannan.
That, no one, might be shrinking back in these tribulations. For ye, yourselves, know, that, hereunto, are we appointed;
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 when we were with you, we told you beforehand—we are destined to suffer tribulation! even as it also came to pass, and ye 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 cause, I also, no longer concealing my anxiety, sent, that I might get to know your faith, lest by any means he that tempteth, should have tempted you, and, in vain, should have been our toil.
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, when, just now, Timothy came unto us, from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, —and that ye have good remembrance of us, continually, longing to see, us, —even as, we also, to see you,
7 Saboda haka’yan’uwa, cikin dukan damuwarmu da tsananinmu an ƙarfafa mu game da ku saboda bangaskiyarku.
For this cause, were we consoled, brethren, over you, in all our necessity and tribulation, through your faith;
8 Gama yanzu tabbatacce muna da rai, da yake kuna nan tsaye daram a cikin Ubangiji.
Because, now, we live, —if only, ye, stand fast 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 thanksgiving can we render back, unto God, concerning you, on occasion of all the joy wherewith we rejoice, for your sakes, 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.
Night and day, making very abundant entreaties, that we may see your face, and fit in the things which are lacking in your faith?
11 Yanzu bari Allahnmu da Ubanmu kansa da kuma Ubangijinmu Yesu yă shirya mana hanya mu zo wurinku.
Now may, our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus, make straight our way unto you:
12 Ubangiji yă sa ƙaunarku ta ƙaru ta kuma yalwata ga juna da kuma ga kowa, kamar yadda tamu take muku.
And, you, may the Lord cause to abound and excel in your love one toward another, and toward all, —even as, we, 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.
To the end he may confirms your hearts, faultless in holiness, before our God and Father, in the Presence of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
