3:1 ⧉ ⤴︎ Διὸ μηκέτι στέγοντες εὐδοκήσαμεν καταλειφθῆναι ἐν Ἀθήναις μόνοι ,
Propter quod non sustinentes amplius , placuit nobis remanere Athenis , solis :
ወስኢነነ ተዐግሦ አብደርነ ንንበር አቴና አሐተኔ ባሕቲተነ ።
Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
3:2 ⧉ ⤴︎ καὶ ἐπέμψαμεν Τιμόθεον , τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν καὶ διάκονον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ , εἰς τὸ στηρίξαι ὑμᾶς καὶ παρακαλέσαι ὑπὲρ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν
et misimus Timotheum fratrem nostrum , et ministrum Dei in Evangelio Christi , ad confirmandos vos , et exhortandos pro fide vestra :

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,
3:3 ⧉ ⤴︎ τὸ μηδένα σαίνεσθαι ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσιν ταύταις . αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἴδατε ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο κείμεθα ·
ut nemo moveatur in tribulationibus istis : ipsi enim scitis quod in hoc positi sumus .

that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
3:4 ⧉ ⤴︎ καὶ γὰρ ὅτε πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἦμεν , προελέγομεν ὑμῖν ὅτι μέλλομεν θλίβεσθαι , καθὼς καὶ ἐγένετο καὶ οἴδατε .
Nam et cum apud vos essemus , praedicebamus vobis passuros nos tribulationes , sicut et factum est , et scitis .

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.
3:5 ⧉ ⤴︎ διὰ τοῦτο κἀγὼ μηκέτι στέγων ἔπεμψα εἰς τὸ γνῶναι τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν , μήπως ἐπείρασεν ὑμᾶς ὁ πειράζων καὶ εἰς κενὸν γένηται ὁ κόπος ἡμῶν .
Propterea et ego amplius non sustinens , misi ad cognoscendam fidem vestram : ne forte tentaverit vos is qui tentat , et inanis fiat labor noster .

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.
3:6 ⧉ ⤴︎ Ἄρτι δὲ ἐλθόντος Τιμοθέου πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀφ’ ὑμῶν καὶ εὐαγγελισαμένου ἡμῖν τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην ὑμῶν , καὶ ὅτι ἔχετε μνείαν ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴν πάντοτε , ἐπιποθοῦντες ἡμᾶς ἰδεῖν καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς ,
Nunc autem veniente Timotheo ad nos a vobis , et annuntiante nobis fidem et caritatem vestram , et quia memoriam nostri habetis bonam semper , desiderantes nos videre , sicut et nos quoque vos :
ወይእዜሰ እምአመ በጽሐ ጢሞቴዎስ ኀቤነ እምኀቤክሙ ወዜነወነ ሃይማኖተክሙ ወተፋቅሮተክሙ ወከመሂ ትዜከሩነ በሠናይ ዘልፈ ወትፈትዉ ትርአዩነ በከመ ንፈቱ ንሕነሂ ርእዮተክሙ ።
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.
3:7 ⧉ ⤴︎ διὰ τοῦτο παρεκλήθημεν , ἀδελφοί , ἐφ’ ὑμῖν ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ ἀνάγκῃ καὶ θλίψει ἡμῶν διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν πίστεως ,

በእንተዝ ተፈሣሕነ አኀዊነ በእንተ ኵሉ ሕማምነ ወምንዳቤነ ዘበእንተ ሃይማኖትክሙ ።
For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
3:8 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὅτι νῦν ζῶμεν ἐὰν ὑμεῖς στήκετε ἐν κυρίῳ .
quoniam nunc vivimus , si vos statis in Domino .
እስመ ይእዜ ነሐዩ እምከመ አንትሙ ቆምክሙ በእግዚእነ ።
For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
3:9 ⧉ ⤴︎ τίνα γὰρ εὐχαριστίαν δυνάμεθα τῷ θεῷ ἀνταποδοῦναι περὶ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ χαρᾷ ᾗ χαίρομεν δι’ ὑμᾶς ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ,
Quam enim gratiarum actionem possumus Deo retribuere pro vobis in omni gaudio , quo gaudemus propter vos ante Deum nostrum ,

For what thanksgiving can we give again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
3:10 ⧉ ⤴︎ νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ δεόμενοι εἰς τὸ ἰδεῖν ὑμῶν τὸ πρόσωπον καὶ καταρτίσαι τὰ ὑστερήματα τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν ;

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
3:11 ⧉ ⤴︎ Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ ἡμῶν καὶ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς κατευθύναι τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ·

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
3:12 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὑμᾶς δὲ ὁ κύριος πλεονάσαι καὶ περισσεύσαι τῇ ἀγάπῃ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας , καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς ,
Vos autem Dominus multiplicet , et abundare faciat caritatem vestram in invicem , et in omnes , quemadmodum et nos in vobis :

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,
3:13 ⧉ ⤴︎ εἰς τὸ στηρίξαι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας ἀμέμπτους ἐν ἁγιωσύνῃ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ μετὰ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων αὐτοῦ . ἀμήν .
