1 Tesaronaika 3

1 Hanki tamagri'ma eme tamegesuna tavesizamo'a, marerigeta manigama nosuta, knarema haniana, Atens kumate manigahune hu'none.

WHEREFORE when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone:

2 Ana nehuta nerafu Timoti'a, Anumzamofo eriza ne'mo Kraisi Knare Musenkemofo eriza e'neria ne'mo, eme tamamentinti tamazeri hanavenetino, tamazeri hanaveti kea tamasaminogu hunte'none.

and sent Timothy our brother, and a minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, that he might stablish you, and comfort you concerning your faith:

3 Tagri'ma tavesiana, mago'amotma amama tagrama e'neruna knazankura antahigna osiho. Tamagra antahinaze, tagrikura knazana erigahaze hu'naza vahe mani'none.

that no man might be shaken by these tribulations; for ye yourselves know that thereunto we are appointed.

4 Na'ankure tamage huta tamagra nema ko'ma mani'neta tamasami vava huta, knazampina ufregahune huta hunonankino, ana knazamo'a, antahinaza kante fore huno evu'ne.

For when we were with you, we told you before that we were about to suffer tribulation; as also it came to pass, and ye know.

5 E'ina agafare nagrama avega antena manigama nosuna, reramatagamahu ne'moma reramatga huzanku koro nehu'na, tagrama eri'zama tamagripima eri'nona erizamo amnezankna huzanku, tamamentinti eme kenogu nagra Timoti hunte'noe.

For this cause also, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your fidelity, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour should be in vain.

6 Hianagi menina Timoti'a tagrite eno, tamagrama tamamentinti nehutma ovesinte avesintema nehaza zankura, musenke eme nerasamino, antahi so'ema humanerantaza zanku'ene, tamagrima tamagenaku nehunankna hutma, tagrima tagenakuma nehaza zankura eme tasamine.

But now when Timothy returned to us from you, and brought us the glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye retain a kind remembrance of us always, earnestly desirous to see us, as we are also to see you:

7 Ama'na agafare, nenfugta vahe'mo'zama knazama tamiza tatazampima unefronkeno'a, tamagrama tamentintima hu'naza zamo maka knazantifina tazeri hanavenetie.

for this cause we have felt consolation, brethren, in you under all our tribulation and distress, because of your fidelity.

8 Na'ankure tagrama menima tasimu erita mani'nonana, tamagrama Ramofompi hanavetitama mani'naza zamo higeta tasimura erita mani'none.

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

9 Tagra Anumzamofo susu hunentone. Tamagrama hazazamo higeta, Anumzamofo avurera tagra musena nehune.

For what sufficient thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God,

10 Hanine zagenena tamavufima tamagezankura nunamuna hanavetita huvava nehuta, tamamentintifima atupama hu'nesazana, tagra tamazeri hanavetigahune.

night and day most fervently praying that we may see your face, and amply supply the deficiencies of your faith?

11 Menina tagri Nerafa Anumzamo'ene, Jisasi Rantimokea vanuna kana taveri hanaketa tamagritega vugahune.

Now God himself, and our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ direct our way unto you.

12 Tagri'ma tavesiana, Ramo'a vahe'ma avesinte avu'ava zana eri aviteramantesigetma aviteta maninetma, magoke magokemotma ovesinte avesinte nehutma, tamagri'ma tamavesi neramantonaza hutma, ana miko vahera tamavesizmanteho.

And the Lord cause you to abound and overflow with love one to another, and towards all men, as we also do to you:

13 E'ina hu'neankino, Jisasi'a maka Naga'anema esia knarera tamazeri hanavetina, maka hazenketamia omnena, ruotge huta nemanita, manifatgo nehuta, Anumza Nafatimofo avurera hazenketamia omanegahie. Tamage.

to the end that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
