1 Tesalonikarrei 3

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

Why when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left 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 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 Nehor trubla eztadinçát afflictione hautan: ecen ceuroc badaquiçue hartaco ordenatuac garela.

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

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

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

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

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

For now we live, if you 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 thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which 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 might see your face, and might 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 God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to 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 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 blameless in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
