1 Tesalonikarrei 3

1 Halacotz guehiagoric ecin pairatuz, on irudi içan çaicu gueuroc Athenesen gueldi guentecen.

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

2 Eta igorri vkan dugu Timotheo gure anaye eta Iaincoaren ministrea eta Christen Euangelioan gure aiutaçalea, çuen confirmatzera eta exhortatzera çuen fedearen gainean:

and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s minister in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort [you] concerning your faith;

3 Nehor trubla eztadinçát afflictione hautan: ecen ceuroc badaquiçue hartaco ordenatuac garela.

that no man be moved by these afflictions; for yourselves know that hereunto we are appointed.

4 Ecen çuec baithan guinenean aitzinetic erraiten guendrauçuen ecen afflictione iragan behar vkanen guenduela, heldu-ere içan den beçala, eta badaquiçue.

For verily, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction; even as it came to pass, and ye know.

5 Halacotz nic-ere guehiagoric ecin pairatuz, hura igorri vkan dut çuen fedea eçagut neçançát, tentaçaleac nolazpeit tentatu centuquezten beldurrez, eta ezdeustu ezlicén gure trabaillua.

For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.

6 Eta heuraguiric eztuela ethorri cenean Timotheo çuetaric guregana, eta declaratu cerauzquigunean çuen fedea eta charitatea, eta nola duçuen guçaz memorio ona bethiere, desiratzen gaituçuelaric ikustera, guc-ere çuec beçala:

But when Timothy came even now unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, even as we also [to see] you;

7 Halacotz içan gara consolatu, anayeác, çuetan, gure afflictione eta tribulatione orotan, çuen fedeaz.

for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith:

8 Ecen orain gara vici, baldin çuec fermu baçaudete Iaunean.

for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

9 Ecen cer remerciamendu Iaincoari renda ahal deçaqueogu çueçaz, gure Iaincoaren aitzinean çuen causaz alegueratzen garen alegrança guciagatic?

For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

10 Gau eta egun abundantquiago othoitz eguiten dugula ikus deçagunçát çuen beguithartea, eta compli deçagunçát çuen fedean peitu dena.

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

11 Bada, gure Iainco eta Aitac, eta Iesus Christ gure Iaunac chuchent deçala gure çuetaratco bidea.

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you:

12 Eta çuec Iaunac multiplica eta abunda eraci çaitzatela elkarganaco eta gucietaraco charitatean, gu-ere çuetara beçala:

and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also [do] toward you;

13 Confirma ditzançát çuen bihotzac reprotchu gabe saindutassunean gure Iainco eta Aitaren aitzinean, Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren bere saindu guciequilaco aduenimenduco.

to the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
