1 Tasaloniiqee 3

1 Kanaafuu nu waan hammana caalaa obsuu dadhabneef kophaa keenya Ateenaatti hafuun gaarii nutti fakkaate.

Why when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;

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 sent Timotheus, 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 kunis akka namni tokko iyyuu dhiphina kanaan hin jeeqamneef. Isinis akka nu waan kanaaf filatamne sirriitti beektu.

That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

4 Yeroo isin bira turretti akka dhiphinni nurra gaʼu isinitti himaa turreetii. Innis akkuma isin beektan sana taʼe.

For truly, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and you know.

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.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor 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 now when Timotheus came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that you have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

7 Kanaaf yaa obboloota, nu dhiphinaa fi ariʼatama keenya hunda keessatti amantii keessaniin waaʼee keessan jajjabaanneerra.

Therefore, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

8 Yoo isin Gooftaatti cimtanii dhaabatan nu dhugumaan ni jiraannaatii.

For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

9 Gammachuu sababii keessaniin fuula Waaqa keenyaa duratti qabnu hundaaf waaʼee keessaniif hammam Waaqa galateeffachuu dandeenya?

For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we joy for your sakes 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 exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

11 Ammas Waaqni keenyaa fi Abbaan keenya mataan isaa, Gooftaan keenya Yesuusis akka nu gara keessan dhufnu karaa nuuf haa qajeelchu.

Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to 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 make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward 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.

To the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
