१ थेसलोनिकी 3
1 यसकारण जब हामीले अरू धेरै सहन सकेनौँ, तब एथेन्समा एकलै रहन उचित ठान्यौँ ।
WHEREFORE when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone:
2 तिमीहरूको विश्वास दह्रिलो पार्न र तिमीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिन हामीले हाम्रा भाइ तिमोथीलाई पठायौँ जो ख्रीष्टका सुसमाचार र परमेश्वरका सेवक हुन् ।
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 यी कष्टहरूबाट कोही नखल्बलियोस्, किनकि यसैको खातिर हामी नियुक्त भएका छौँ ।
that no man might be shaken by these tribulations; for ye yourselves know that thereunto we are appointed.
4 साँच्चै हामीहरू तिमीहरूका बिचमा रहँदा पहिले नै भनेका थियौँ कि हामी कष्टका नजिक छौँ, तिमीहरूलाई थाहा नै छ यो हुन आयो ।
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 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 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 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 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 यसैले गर्दा, भाइहरू हो, हाम्रा सबै निराश र कष्टकर अवस्थामा तिमीहरूको विश्वासद्वारा हामीलाई सान्त्वना मिलेको छ ।
for this cause we have felt consolation, brethren, in you under all our tribulation and distress, because of your fidelity.
8 यदि तिमीहरू प्रभुमा स्थिर रह्यौ भने, अब हामी साँच्चै जिउदछौँ ।
For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
9 तिमीहरूका कारण हामीमा भएको आनन्दको खातिर परमेश्वरको सामु हामी कसरी परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाऔँ?
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 तिमीहरूको मुहार हेर्न र तिमीहरूको विश्वासमा जुन कुराको कमी छ, सो दिन सकौँ भनेर दिनरात हामी कडा मेहनतसाथ प्रार्थना गर्दछौँ ।
night and day most fervently praying that we may see your face, and amply supply the deficiencies of your faith?
11 हाम्रा परमेश्वर, र पिता आफैले र हाम्रा प्रभु येशूले, तिमीहरूकहाँ आउने ढोका खोलिदिऊन्,
Now God himself, and our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ direct our way unto you.
12 र प्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई एक अर्काप्रति र सबै मानिसहरूप्रति प्रेममा प्रशस्त गरी बढ्दै जान दिऊन् जसरी हामी तिमीहरूप्रति गर्दछौ ।
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 हाम्रा प्रभु येशू उहाँका पवित्र जनहरूसँग आउनुहुँदा उहाँले हाम्रा पिताका सामु तिमीहरूलाई पवित्रतामा निष्कलङ्क बनाऊन् ।
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.
