1 S idaas daraaddeed markii aannu is-hayn kari waynay, way nala wanaagsanayd inaannu keliyahaantayo Ateenay ku hadhno;

When we could wait no longer, we decided it was best to stay in the city of Athens alone.

2 o o waxaannu idiin soo dirnay walaalkayo Timoteyos, oo ah midiidinka Ilaah xagga injiilka Masiixa, inuu idin xoogeeyo oo idin dhiirrigeliyo xagga rumaysadkiinna,

And we sent Timothy to you. He works with us for God, teaching the Good News of Christ. We sent him to give strength and comfort to your faith.

3 i naan dhibaatooyinkani ninna dhaqdhaqaajin, waayo, idinka qudhiinnuba waad ogsoon tihiin in tan lanoo doortay.

We do not want anyone to give up because of troubles. You know that we can expect troubles.

4 W aayo, markii aannu idinla joognay, horaannu idiinku sii sheegnay inaannu dhibtoonayno; waana sida ay noqotay, idinkuna waad og tihiin.

Even when we were with you, we told you that much trouble would come to us. It has come as you can see.

5 S ababtaas daraaddeed markii aan is-hayn kari waayay, waxaan idiinku soo cid diray inaan rumaysadkiinna ogaado, waaba intaasoo kii wax jirrabi jiray idin jirrabay oo hawshayadii wax aan waxtar lahayn noqotaye.

For this reason, I could wait no longer. I sent Timothy to find out about your faith. I was afraid the devil had tempted you. Then our work with you would be wasted.

6 L aakiinse haatan markii Timoteyos nooga kiin yimid, wuxuu noo keenay warka wanaagsan oo ku saabsan rumaysadkiinna iyo jacaylkiinna, iyo inaad kol kasta si wanaagsan noo xusuusataan idinkoo xiiso u qaba inaad na aragtaan sida aannu annaguba xiiso ugu qabno inaannu idin aragno;

But Timothy has come to us from you. He brought good news about your faith and love. It is good to know that you think well of us and that you would like to see us. We would like to see you also.

7 s ababtaas daraaddeed, walaalayaalow, dhibkayagii iyo qaxarkayagii oo dhan waxaannu kaga qalbi qabownay xaggiinna, rumaysadkiinna aawadiis;

Christian brothers, word about your faith has made us happy even while we are suffering and are in much trouble.

8 m axaa yeelay, haatan annagu waa nool nahay haddaad xagga Rabbiga ku xoogaysataan.

It is life to us to know that your faith in the Lord is strong.

9 W aayo, mahad intee le'eg baannu Ilaah ugu naqi karnaa idinka aawadiin iyo farxaddii oo dhan oo aannu ku faraxnay Ilaahayaga hortiisa idinka aawadiin?

How can we give God enough thanks for you for all the joy you give us?

10 H abeen iyo maalinba aad iyo aad baannu Ilaah u baryaynaa inaannu wejigiinna aragno oo aannu dhammaystirno waxa ka dhiman rumaysadkiinna.

We keep on praying night and day that we may see you again. We want to help your faith to be complete.

11 H addaba Ilaaha ah Aabbeheenna iyo Rabbigeenna Ciise qudhiisu jidkayaga xaggiinna ha ku soo toosiyeen.

May our God and Father Himself and the Lord Jesus Christ take us on our way to you.

12 R abbigu ha idiin kordhiyo oo ha idiin badiyo jacaylka midkiinba midka kale u qabo iyo dadka kale oo dhanba, sida aan annaguba idiin jecel nahay,

May the Lord make you grow in love for each other and for everyone. We have this kind of love for you.

13 i nuu xoogeeyo qalbiyadiinna iyagoo aan ceeb lahayn oo quduusnimo ku jira Ilaaheenna oo ah Aabbeheenna hortiisa, goortii Rabbigeenna Ciise la yimaado quduusiintiisa oo dhan.

May our God and Father make your hearts strong and without blame. May your hearts be without sin in God’s sight when our Lord Jesus comes again with all those who belong to Him.
