1 Tasaloniiqee 3
1 Kanaafuu nu waan hammana caalaa obsuu dadhabneef kophaa keenya Ateenaatti hafuun gaarii nutti fakkaate.
Therefore no longer containing, we delighted to be left alone at Athens;
2 Nus obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos, tajaajilaa Waaqaa isa wangeela Kiristoosiitti hojjetaa hidhata keenya taʼe sana, akka inni amantii keessanitti isin cimsuu fi isin jajjabeessuuf ergineerra;
and we sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God in the gospel of Christ, in order to establish you, and exhort you concerning your faith;
3 kunis akka namni tokko iyyuu dhiphina kanaan hin jeeqamneef. Isinis akka nu waan kanaaf filatamne sirriitti beektu.
that no one should be shaken in these tribulations. For you know that for this we are appointed.
4 Yeroo isin bira turretti akka dhiphinni nurra gaʼu isinitti himaa turreetii. Innis akkuma isin beektan sana taʼe.
For indeed, when we were with you, we foretold you that we are about to suffer tribulation; as indeed took place, and you know it.
5 Sababii kanaaf ani yommuun kana caalaa obsuu dadhabetti waaʼee amantii keessanii baruuf jedheen isa erge. Tarii inni nama qoru sun isin qoree dadhabbiin keenyas faayidaa malee hafeera jedheen sodaadhe.
Therefore I indeed, no longer containing, sent that I might know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter tempted you, and our labor may be in vain.
6 Amma garuu Xiimotewos isin biraa gara keenya dhufee waaʼee amantii keessaniitii fi waaʼee jaalala keessanii oduu gaarii nutti himeera. Akkasumas akka isin yeroo hunda yaada gaariidhaan nu yaaddanii fi akkuma nu isin arguu hawwinu sana akka isinis nu arguu hawwitan nutti himeera.
But Timothy, having already come to us from you, and proclaimed to us the good news of your faith and your divine love, and that you always have a good mention of us, longing to see us, as we do to see you;
7 Kanaaf yaa obboloota, nu dhiphinaa fi ariʼatama keenya hunda keessatti amantii keessaniin waaʼee keessan jajjabaanneerra.
therefore we were comforted, brethren, over you in all our distress and tribulation on account of your faith;
8 Yoo isin Gooftaatti cimtanii dhaabatan nu dhugumaan ni jiraannaatii.
because we now live, if you stand in the Lord.
9 Gammachuu sababii keessaniin fuula Waaqa keenyaa duratti qabnu hundaaf waaʼee keessaniif hammam Waaqa galateeffachuu dandeenya?
For what thanks are we able to render unto God in your behalf, for all the joy with which we rejoice on account of you before our God;
10 Nu akka deebinee isin arginuu fi waan amantii keessan keessaa hirʼates akka isinii guutuu dandeenyuuf halkanii guyyaa cimsinee kadhanna.
night and day praying incessantly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies of your faith?
11 Ammas Waaqni keenyaa fi Abbaan keenya mataan isaa, Gooftaan keenya Yesuusis akka nu gara keessan dhufnu karaa nuuf haa qajeelchu.
But God himself, even our Father, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you:
12 Akkuma jaalalli nu isinii qabnu dabalaa deemu sana Gooftaan jaalala isin walii keessanii fi nama hundaaf qabdan isinii haa guddisuu; haa baayʼisus.
and the Lord fill you and cause you to superabound in divine love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also do towards you;
13 Akka isin yommuu Gooftaan keenya Yesuus qulqulloota isaa hunda wajjin dhufutti fuula Waaqa keenyaatii fi Abbaa keenyaa duratti warra mudaa hin qabnee fi qulqulloota taataniifis inni garaa keessan haa jajjabeessu.
in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness in the presence of God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints: amen.
