²Ka'omea-na, uma-pi kidadahi kalentora-kai. Toe pai' ki'uli', agina aku' mepopea hi ngata Atena, pai' ompi' -ta Timotius kipahawa' tilou hi koi' ompi' -ompi' hi Tesalonika. Timotius toei, doo hampobagoa-kai hi rala pobago Alata'ala, apa' natulungi-kai mpokeni Kareba Kristus. Jadi', kipahawa' mpu'u-imi Timotius tilou, ki'uli' -ki: "Iko-mi to hilou mpokinomo ompi' -ta hi Tesalonika, nurohoi pai' nupomotede' pepangala' -ra."

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

³Kipahawa' -i tilou toe, bona neo' mpai' ria haduaa to mokalingka pepangala' -ra sabana pebalinai' to mporumpa' -koi. Apa' ta'inca moto ompi', pebalinai' to mporumpa' -ta toe, gati patuju Alata'ala ami' -mi hi kita' to Kristen.

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

⁴Bula-kai retu-pidi wengi, ki'uli' ami' -mi karia-ra mpai' to mpobalinai' -ta. Hiaa' madupa' mpu'u-mi, hewa to ni'inca moto-mi ompi'.

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

⁵Jadi', toe-die pai' kuhubui-i Timotius tilou-e, bona ku'inca kabeiwa-na pepangala' -ni, apa' uma mpu'u-pi kudadahi kalentora-ku. Pai' koro' -a, nee-neo' nasori Magau' Topesori-koi duu' -na napanawu' -koi pai' uma-pi ria kalaua lenge' -kai mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi koi'.

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

⁶Jadi', hewa toe lau, rata nculii' -imi Timotius hi rehe'i, pai' naparata-mikakai kareba to mpakagoe' -kai. Na'uli': "To Tesalonika toera ria, moroho moto pepangala' -ra pai' ahi' -ra. Rapolio oa' -ta pai' lentora wo'o-ra-rawo doko' mpohirua' -taka, hewa kita' wo'o doko' mpohirua' -raka."

⁵For 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.

⁷Mpo'epe kareba to nakeni Timotius toe, tetanta'u-makai ompi'. Nau' rabalinai' pai' rapakasusa' -kai hi rei, tetanta'u oa' nono-kai mpo'epe kamoroho-na pepangala' -ni.

⁶But when Timothy came just now 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;

⁸Jadi', morawa-mi nono-kai, apa' moroho pepangala' -ni hi Pue' Yesus.

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

⁹Uma mowo kagoe' -kai mpokagoe' -koi ompi'. Jadi', napa to ma'ala kihiwili-ki Alata'ala ngkai hawe'ea kagoea' to nawai' -kakai toe? Uma ria ntani' -na, muntu' mpo'uli' tarima kasi-kai hi rala posampaya-kai hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta.

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

¹⁰Hinamengi hina'eo-kai merapi' hi Alata'ala hante nono mpu'u bona nabea ohea-kai mpencuai' -koi, bona kipohonoi' to kura' hi pepangala' -ni.

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

¹¹Mosampaya-kai hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta pai' hi Pue' -ta Pue' Yesus, kiperapi' bona nabea-kakai ohea mpohirua' -kokoi ompi'.

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

¹²Kiperapi' bona katedoo-donihia ahi' -ni, alaa-na momepoka'ahi' mpu'u-koi hadua bo hadua, pai' -koi mpoka'ahi' hawe'ea tauna, hewa ahi' -kai hi koi'.

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

¹³Kiperapi' hi Alata'ala bona narohoi nono-ni, bona moroli' -koi hante uma ria kasalaia' -ni hi nyanyoa-na ane rata-ipi mpai' Pue' Yesus hante hawe'ea topetuku' -na to moroli'.

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

¹³to 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.
