1 Tesaronaika 3

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

Therefore, when we could bear it no longer, we thought it best to stay in 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 we sent Timothy, our brother, who is a servant of God and our fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you in 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.

so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we have been appointed to afflictions such as these.

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.

In fact, when we were with you, we told you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction, and as you well know, it has now happened.

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 reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent Timothy to find out about your faith, lest somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor had been 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 Timothy has now come back to us from you and has brought us good news of your faith and love. He reports that you always think of us with affection, longing to see us, just as we also long 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.

Therefore, brothers, in all our affliction and distress, we were encouraged about you because of your faith.

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

For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

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

How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?

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

Night and day we pray earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith.

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

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

May the Lord cause you to increase and abound in your love for one another and for all, just as we abound in our love for 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.

And may he strengthen your hearts to be blameless in holiness in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus Christ comes with all his saints.
