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 minister of God, and our fellow-laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
3 यी कष्टहरूबाट कोही नखल्बलियोस्, किनकि यसैको खातिर हामी नियुक्त भएका छौँ ।
That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed to it.
4 साँच्चै हामीहरू तिमीहरूका बिचमा रहँदा पहिले नै भनेका थियौँ कि हामी कष्टका नजिक छौँ, तिमीहरूलाई थाहा नै छ यो हुन आयो ।
For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as 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, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you, and our labor 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 came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also [to see] you:
7 यसैले गर्दा, भाइहरू हो, हाम्रा सबै निराश र कष्टकर अवस्थामा तिमीहरूको विश्वासद्वारा हामीलाई सान्त्वना मिलेको छ ।
Therefore, brethren, by your faith we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress:
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 thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes 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 praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11 हाम्रा परमेश्वर, र पिता आफैले र हाम्रा प्रभु येशूले, तिमीहरूकहाँ आउने ढोका खोलिदिऊन्,
Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, 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 the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one towards another, and towards all [men], even as we [do] towards you:
13 हाम्रा प्रभु येशू उहाँका पवित्र जनहरूसँग आउनुहुँदा उहाँले हाम्रा पिताका सामु तिमीहरूलाई पवित्रतामा निष्कलङ्क बनाऊन् ।
To the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
