Tesalonike I 3
1 A I hiki ole ia makou ke hoomanawanui hou aku, manao iho la makou he pono ke waiho hookahi ia mai ma Atenai.
Therefore, when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
2 A ua hoouna aku la ia Timoteo, o ko kakou hoahanau, he mea lawehana na ke Akua, a o ko makou hoalawehana ma ka euanelio o Kristo, e hooikaika aku oia ia oukou, a e hooluolu hoi ia oukou i ko oukou manaoio ana;
and sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the Good News of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith;
3 I hoonaue ole ia kekahi e keia mau pilikia; no ka mea, ua ike no oukou, ua haawiia mai ia mau mea no kakou.
that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
4 No ka mea, i ko makou noho pu ana me oukou, na hai e aku makou ia oukou, e hoinoia'na kakou; a ua hiki mai la no ia pela, ua ike hoi oukou.
For truly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
5 Nolaila, i ka pono ole ia'u ke hoomanawanui hou aku, ua hoouna aku la au e ike i ko oukou manaoio, o lilo paha oukou i ka hoowalewaleia mai e ka hoowalewale, a ua lilo iho la ka makou hana i mea ole:
For this cause I also, when I could not 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.
6 Aka, i ka hoi ana mai nei o Timoteo mai o oukou mai io makou nei, me ka hoike lea mai ia makou i ka pono o ko oukou manaoio ana me ke aloha, a i ko oukou manao maikai mau ana mai ia makou, e ake ana e ike ia makou, e like hoi me makou ia oukou;
But when Timothy came just now 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 No ia mea, e na hoahanau, no ko oukou manaoio, ua oluolu iho nei makou ia oukou iloko o ko makou ehaeha ana, a me ka pilikia a pau.
for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
8 No ka mea, ano, ua ola makou ke kupaa oukou iloko o ka Haku.
For now we live, since you stand firm in the Lord.
9 Pehea hoi makou e hoomaikai hou aku ai i ke Akua no oukou, no ka olioli a pau a makou e olioli nei ia oukou imua o ko kakou Akua?
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 E pole nui ana i ka po a me ke ao, i ike aku makou i ko oukou maka, a e hoolawa aku hoi i ke koenao ko oukou manaoio.
night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11 Na ke Akua ko kakou Makua, a me ko kakou Haku na Iesu Kristo makou e alakai pono aku io oukou la.
Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;
12 Na ka Haku hoi oukou e hoo piha a hu aku i ke aloha i kekahi i kekahi, a ia hai ae hoi a pau, e like me makou ia oukou;
and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love for one another and for all, even as we also do toward you,
13 I hookupaa mai oia i ko oukou naau i kina ole ka hemolele imua o ke Akua, o ko kakou Makua, i ka hiki ana mai o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, me kona poe hoano a pau loa.
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.
