1 Teharonika 3
1 Na, i te kore e taea te ngakau te pehi tonu, i pai matou kia mahue ko matou anake i Atene.
Διὸ μηκέτι στέγοντες εὐδοκήσαμεν καταλειφθῆναι ἐν Ἀθήναις μόνοι,
2 A tonoa ana e matou a Timoti, to matou teina, he minita na te Atua, he hoa mahi no matou ki te rongopai o te Karaiti, hei whakau i a koutou, hei korero whakamarie ki a koutou mo nga mea o to koutou whakapono.
καὶ ἐπέμψαμεν Τιμόθεον, τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν καὶ διάκονον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ συνεργὸν ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ, εἰς τὸ στηρίξαι ὑμᾶς καὶ παρακαλέσαι ὑμᾶς περὶ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν,
3 Kei whakangaueuetia tetahi e enei tukinotanga: e matau ana ano hoki koutou he mea momotu ke tatou mo tenei mea.
τὸ μηδένα σαίνεσθαι ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσι ταύταις. αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἴδατε ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο κείμεθα·
4 I a matou hoki e noho ana i a koutou, i korero wawe ano matou ki a koutou, tera tatou e tukinotia; ko ia ano tenei, ka matau nei koutou.
καὶ γὰρ ὅτε πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἦμεν, προελέγομεν ὑμῖν ὅτι μέλλομεν θλίβεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ ἐγένετο καὶ οἴδατε.
5 Na reira i te mea te taea toku ngakau te pehi tonu, ka tono tangata atu ahau kia mohio ai ahau ki to koutou whakapono, kei whakawaia pea koutou e te kaiwhakawai, a maumau kau ta matou mahi.
διὰ τοῦτο κἀγὼ μηκέτι στέγων ἔπεμψα εἰς τὸ γνῶναι τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν, μή πως ἐπείρασεν ὑμᾶς ὁ πειράζων καὶ εἰς κενὸν γένηται ὁ κόπος ἡμῶν.
6 Tena ko tenei, ka tae mai nei a Timoti ki a matou i a koutou, ka pai hoki tana korero ki a matou mo to koutou whakapono, mo to koutou aroha, mo koutou hoki e whai mahara pai ana ki a matou i nga wa katoa, e hiahia ana kia kite i a matou, he pera ano me to matou ki a koutou;
Ἄρτι δὲ ἐλθόντος Τιμοθέου πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν καὶ εὐαγγελισαμένου ἡμῖν τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην ὑμῶν, καὶ ὅτι ἔχετε μνείαν ἡμῶν ἀγαθήν, πάντοτε ἐπιποθοῦντες ἡμᾶς ἰδεῖν καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς,
7 Na kua whai whakamarietanga matou i a koutou, e oku teina, i o matou tukinotanga katoa, i o matou matenga, he mea na to koutou whakapono.
διὰ τοῦτο παρεκλήθημεν, ἀδελφοί, ἐφ᾽ ὑμῖν ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ θλίψει καὶ ἀνάγκῃ ἡμῶν διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν πίστεως·
8 Ko to matou ora nei hoki tenei, ara kia tu tonu koutou i runga i te Ariki.
ὅτι νῦν ζῶμεν, ἐὰν ὑμεῖς στήκητε ἐν Κυρίῳ.
9 Me aha hoki he whakawhetai ma matou ki te Atua mo koutou, mo nga hari katoa e hari nei matou ki a koutou, i te aroaro o to tatou Atua?
τίνα γὰρ εὐχαριστίαν δυνάμεθα τῷ Θεῷ ἀνταποδοῦναι περὶ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ χαρᾷ ᾗ χαίρομεν δι᾽ ὑμᾶς ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν,
10 Nui atu ta matou inoi i te po, i te ao, kia kite i o koutou kanohi, kia whakaotia ano hoki e matou nga whai o to koutou whakapono i hapa.
νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ δεόμενοι εἰς τὸ ἰδεῖν ὑμῶν τὸ πρόσωπον καὶ καταρτίσαι τὰ ὑστερήματα τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν;
11 Na, ma te Atua ake ano, ara ma to tatou Matua, ma to tatou Ariki hoki, ma Ihu Karaiti, e whakatika to matou ara ki a koutou.
Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ ἡμῶν καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς κατευθύναι τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν πρὸς ὑμᾶς·
12 Ma te Ariki ano hoki e mea kia nui, kia hira to koutou aroha tetahi, ki tetahi, ki nga tangata katoa hoki, kia penei ano me to matou ki a koutou.
ὑμᾶς δὲ ὁ Κύριος πλεονάσαι καὶ περισσεύσαι τῇ ἀγάπῃ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας, καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς,
13 Kia whakaukia ai o koutou ngakau he mea kahore he he i runga i te tapu i te aroaro o te Atua, o to tatou Matua, i te taenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, ratou ko tana hunga tapu katoa.
εἰς τὸ στηρίξαι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας ἀμέμπτους ἐν ἁγιωσύνῃ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων αὐτοῦ.
