1 Thessalonians 3
1 So when we couldn't bear it any longer, we decided it would be best for us to stay behind in Athens,
I ME se solar kak nenen la, pwe se maukida kelepala nan Aten,
2 and send Timothy on to you. He is our brother and God's co-worker in spreading the good news of Christ. We sent him to strengthen and encourage you in your trust in God
Ap kadar wong komail Timoteus ri atail o papan Kot ni rongamau en Kristus, pwen katenge komail o kamait komail la iran omail poson.
3 so that none of you would be upset by your troubles—for you know we should expect such things.
Pwe sota amen en luet kila kamekam wet, pwe pein komail asa, mepukat kileledier ong kitail.
4 Even while we were with you we kept on warning you that we would suffer persecution soon— and as you well know that is exactly what has happened.
Pwe ni at mimi re omail, se kokopki dong komail kamekam; duen a pwaidar o duen me komail asa.
5 This is why, when I couldn't stand it anymore, I sent to find out whether you were still trusting in God. I was concerned that the Devil had successfully tempted you and that all our work had been for nothing!
I me i solar kak nenenla, a i ilakila, pwe i en asa, duen omail poson, ma men kasongesong so kasongesong komail, o ma at dodok sota pan dodok mal.
6 Now Timothy has just returned from visiting you and he has brought us good news of your trust in God and the love you have. He's told us that you still have fond memories of us, longing to see us just as we long to see you.
A metet ni en Timoteus pwara dong kin sang re omail, o padaki ong kit rong mau duen omail poson o limpok, o duen omail tamataman kit ansau karos, o duen komail men kilang kit, i dueta kit kin inong iong kilang komail.
7 This news really encouraged us while we were suffering troubles ourselves, brothers and sisters, knowing that you continue to hold on to your trust in God.
Ri ai kan, kit ap kamait kilar komail ni at kamekam o apwal akan ki omail poson.
8 For us life is worth living now because you're standing firm in the Lord!
Pwe ansau wet kit maureda, ma komail poden tengedi ong Kaun o.
9 As we go into the presence of our God, how can we ever thank God enough for you because of all the joy you bring to us?
Pwe ia danke me sen dankeki Kot pweki komail, me pan ras ong peren, me se peren kida mon Kot ki komail?
10 Night and day we pray for you as earnestly as possible, hoping to see you again face to face, and to help you continue developing your trust in God.
Se kin poden kapakapa kin komail ni pong ni ran o ngidingidiki, sen kilang mas omail o kaunsokala omail poson.
11 May God our Father and our Lord Jesus make it possible for us to come to see you soon.
Ari, pein Kot, o Sam atail, o atail Kaun Iesus en kotin kalua kit wong komail.
12 May the Lord increase your love so it overflows to one another, and to everyone, just as we love you.
A Kaun o en kotin kangedere komail la o kalaudela omail limpok nan pung omail o ong amen amen dueta kit ong komail.
13 In this way may the Lord strengthen you so you may stand with minds that are holy and blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.
O kotin katengeteng mongiong omail pwen mau melel, ni saraui mon Kot o Sam atail ong ni ran en atail Kaun Iesus, me pan kotido o sapwilim a saraui kan karos iang i.
