1 Thessalonians 3
1 Wherefore, when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
Idi saanmin ngarud a kabaelan a baklayen daytoy, napanunotmi a nasaysayaat iti mabati idiay Atenas.
2 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:
Imbaonmi ni Timoteo, a kabsattayo ken adipen ti Dios iti ebanghelio ni Cristo, tapno papigsaen ken liwliwaennakayo maipanggep iti pammatiyo.
3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed to it.
Inaramidmi daytoy tapno awan iti siasinoman a mariribukan kadakayo babaen kadagitoy a panagsagaba. Ta ammoyo mismo a nadutokankami gapu iti daytoy.
4 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.
Kinapudnona, idi addakami kadakayo, impakpakaunami nga imbaga kadakayo a dandanikamin nga agsagaba iti pannakaparigat, ket napasamak dayta, kas ammoyo.
5 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.
Ta maigapu iti daytoy, idi saankon a kabaelan a takderan daytoy, nangibaonak tapno maamoak koma ti maipanggep iti pammatiyo. Ta amangan ketdi a sinulisognakayo iti manulsulisog, ken agbalin nga awan serbina ti trabahomi.
6 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:
Ngem immay ni Timoteo kadakami manipud kadakayo ket inyegna kadakami ti naimbag a damag iti pammati ken ayatyo. Imbagana kadakami a kankanayon nga adda iti nasayaat a pakalaglagipanyo kadakami, ken mailiwkayo a makakita kadakami a kas iti iliwmi met a makakita kadakayo.
7 Therefore, brethren, by your faith we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress:
Gapu iti daytoy, kakabsat, naliwliwakami babaen kadakayo gapu iti pammatiyo, kadagiti amin a leddaang ken rigrigatmi.
8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
Ta agbiagkami ita, no agtakderkayo a natibker iti Apo.
9 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;
Ta ania a panagyaman iti mabalin nga itedmi iti Dios para kadakayo, kadagiti amin a rag-o nga adda kadakami iti sangoanan iti Dios gapu kadakayo?
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Rabii ken aldaw nga agkarkararagkami a sipapasnek tapno makitami koma dagiti rupayo ken maitedmi ti agkurkurang kadagiti pammatiyo.
11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
Sapay koma nga iti Diostayo ken iti mismo nga Ama, kenni Apotayo a ni Jesus ket iturongna iti dalanmi kadakayo.
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one towards another, and towards all [men], even as we [do] towards you:
Sapay koma ta aramiden iti Apo a dumakkel ken aglaplapusanan ti ayat iti maysa ken maysa ken kadagiti amin a tattao, a kas aramidenmi met kadakayo.
13 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.
Sapay koma ta aramidenna daytoy tapno mapapigsa dagiti pusoyo nga awan iti pakapilawanna iti kinasanto iti sangoanan ti Dios ken Ama, iti iyuumay ni Apotayo a ni Jesus a kaduana dagiti amin a sasantona.
