1 Thessalonians 3

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

Tin den ki fidi ki juuni yeni tin waagi yeni maama po, ti den jaggi ke min yeni Silasi n ba ye yeni Ateni beba.

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,

Ke sɔni ti kpiilo Timote i kani, o taani ke suani yeni u tienu, ki tie ti tuonsɔnlielo Kilisito laabamanli muandun nni. Ti sɔn'o ke wan paagi i pala, ki tundi yin ya se bonŋanla i dandanlin nni, ki siiga n oba kuli yama n da ŋmadi yeni ban wangi ya fala po,

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

kelima u tienu jagi ti po lan nni.

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.

Ya yognu k n den ye yen'i, ti den tuodi ki wangi ke bi ba waan'ti fala, li gɔa tieni nani tin den yedi maama.

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.

Nani min den kan fidi ke juuni ke kan la'i yen, n den sɔni Timote i kani ke wan bandi yin se li dandanli nni maama, kelima n den jie ke mi tulima daano n da te tunlini ke cedi ke ti tuonli i siigan n tua fanma.

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.

Ama Timote n ñani i kani ke kpeni ke la ke waagi o puni'ti ya laabaali n mani. O gɔ waan'ti yin pia ya dandanli yeni ya buama n tie nandi. O maadi ki bua yin la'ti nani tinb n bua tin lai maama yeni.

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

Lan ya po ti kpiiba, baa tin li ye yeni, o yinyienu biadu, ke laadi fala, ti pala pa yeni yin pia li dandanli

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

Mɔla ti yama dua kelima i se ke li pa ti yonbidaano jesu kilisito nni.

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,

T kan fidi ki tuoni u tienu lan dagidi tin pia ya pamanli o kani ki dugini po.

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

U yensiinu yeni ku ñiangu kuli ti miadi u tienu yeni ti pala kuli ke tuo tin gedi i kani ki todi ke yin baa ki biini yaala n pɔdi i dandanlin

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

Ti baa u tienu yeni ti diedo jesu n ŋanbiti po u sanu tin gɔa cua ki lai.

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,

Ke u tienu n pugni i siigan mi buanma yaali ke ti pia i po.

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.

Wan todi, ke i pala n ŋanbi ki cie ke yin ya gbie yeni tiŋani u tienu nungan nni ya yoginu ke ti yonbidaano jesu ba guani yeni o maleknba.
