1 Tesaronaika 3

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

Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind 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 God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to 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 one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

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 most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you 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 I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour would have 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 just now come 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 Ama'na agafare, nenfugta vahe'mo'zama knazama tamiza tatazampima unefronkeno'a, tamagrama tamentintima hu'naza zamo maka knazantifina tazeri hanavenetie.

For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through 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 live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

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

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

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which 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 make you to increase and abound in love towards one another and towards all men, even as we also do towards 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 he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
