1 Thessalonians 3

1 Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,

ܘܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܚܡܤܢܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܦܫ ܒܐܬܢܘܤ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܢ

2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,

ܘܢܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܢ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܥܕܪܢܢ ܒܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܢܫܪܪܟܘܢ ܘܢܒܥܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ

3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܬܬܩܛܥ ܠܗ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܤܝܡܝܢܢ

4 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.

ܐܦ ܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܩܕܡܢ ܐܡܪܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢܢ ܠܡܬܐܠܨܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܗܘܐ

5 For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.

ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܚܡܤܢܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܫܕܪܬ ܕܐܕܥ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܕܠܡܐ ܢܢܤܝܟܘܢ ܡܢܤܝܢܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܡܠܢ ܤܪܝܩܐ

6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you.

ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܢ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܡܢ ܨܐܕܝܟܘܢ ܘܤܒܪܢ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܘܕܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܘܗܕܢܢ ܛܒܐ ܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܘܤܘܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ

7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.

ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܒܝܐܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܩܬܢ ܘܐܘܠܨܢܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ

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

ܘܗܫܐ ܗܘ ܚܝܝܢܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ

9 For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,

ܐܝܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܠܡܦܪܥ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܚܕܝܢܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ

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

ܐܠܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܬܟܫܦ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܓܡܘܪ ܡܐ ܕܚܤܝܪܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ

11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܬܪܘܨ ܐܘܪܚܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ

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

ܘܢܤܓܐ ܘܢܝܬܪ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܚܕ ܠܘܬ ܚܕ ܘܕܠܘܬ ܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܚܒܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ

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

ܘܢܩܝܡ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܒܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܘܗܝ
