१ थेसलोनिकी 3
1 यसकारण जब हामीले अरू धेरै सहन सकेनौँ, तब एथेन्समा एकलै रहन उचित ठान्यौँ ।
So when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left on our own in Athens.
2 तिमीहरूको विश्वास दह्रिलो पार्न र तिमीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिन हामीले हाम्रा भाइ तिमोथीलाई पठायौँ जो ख्रीष्टका सुसमाचार र परमेश्वरका सेवक हुन् ।
We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,
3 यी कष्टहरूबाट कोही नखल्बलियोस्, किनकि यसैको खातिर हामी नियुक्त भएका छौँ ।
so that none of you would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.
4 साँच्चै हामीहरू तिमीहरूका बिचमा रहँदा पहिले नै भनेका थियौँ कि हामी कष्टका नजिक छौँ, तिमीहरूलाई थाहा नै छ यो हुन आयो ।
Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.
5 यसैकारण, जब मैले सहनै सकिन तिमीहरूको विश्वासबारे जान्न र परीक्षा गर्नेवालाले तिमीहरूलाई परीक्षामा पारेर हाम्रो मेहनत व्यर्थमा जान्छ कि भनेर मैले उनलाई पठाएँ ।
For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and caused our labor to be in vain.
6 जब तिमोथी तिमीहरू कहाँबाट विश्वास र प्रेमको सुसमाचार लिएर आए कि तिमीहरूसँग सधैँ हामीसँगका असल क्षणहरूको सम्झना छ र जसरी हामी तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न उत्कट इच्छा गर्छौं त्यसै गरी तिमीहरू पनि हामीलाई हेर्न उत्कट इच्छा गर्छौ ।
But just now, Timothy has returned from his visit with the good news about your faith, your love, and the fond memories you have preserved, longing to see us just as we long to see you.
7 यसैले गर्दा, भाइहरू हो, हाम्रा सबै निराश र कष्टकर अवस्थामा तिमीहरूको विश्वासद्वारा हामीलाई सान्त्वना मिलेको छ ।
For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and persecution, we have been reassured about you, because of your faith.
8 यदि तिमीहरू प्रभुमा स्थिर रह्यौ भने, अब हामी साँच्चै जिउदछौँ ।
For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in the Lord.
9 तिमीहरूका कारण हामीमा भएको आनन्दको खातिर परमेश्वरको सामु हामी कसरी परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाऔँ?
How can we adequately thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in His presence?
10 तिमीहरूको मुहार हेर्न र तिमीहरूको विश्वासमा जुन कुराको कमी छ, सो दिन सकौँ भनेर दिनरात हामी कडा मेहनतसाथ प्रार्थना गर्दछौँ ।
Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking from your faith.
11 हाम्रा परमेश्वर, र पिता आफैले र हाम्रा प्रभु येशूले, तिमीहरूकहाँ आउने ढोका खोलिदिऊन्,
Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.
12 र प्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई एक अर्काप्रति र सबै मानिसहरूप्रति प्रेममा प्रशस्त गरी बढ्दै जान दिऊन् जसरी हामी तिमीहरूप्रति गर्दछौ ।
And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,
13 हाम्रा प्रभु येशू उहाँका पवित्र जनहरूसँग आउनुहुँदा उहाँले हाम्रा पिताका सामु तिमीहरूलाई पवित्रतामा निष्कलङ्क बनाऊन् ।
so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.
