帖撒罗尼迦前书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
3 最后我们无法再忍受思念之苦,就决定我们这些人留在雅典, 2 派提摩太去你们那里。他在传扬基督福音的事工上是我们的弟兄、上帝的同工。他去是要鼓励你们,使你们信心坚定, 3 免得有人因遭受这些患难而动摇,因为你们知道我们必遭受患难。 4 我们在你们那里时曾预先告诉过你们,我们会遭遇患难,你们知道后来果然如此。 5 因此,我无法再等下去了,就派提摩太到你们那里看看你们的信心如何,免得那诱惑人的诱惑了你们,使我们的心血都白费了。
喜闻佳讯
6 现在,提摩太刚从你们那里回来,把有关你们信心和爱心的好消息告诉了我们。他说你们常常思念我们,很想见到我们,就像我们渴望见到你们一样。 7 弟兄姊妹,你们的信心使我们在万般困苦和患难中得到了激励。 8 得知你们靠着主坚定不移,我们现在感到振奋。 9 你们使我们在上帝面前感到非常喜乐,我们该怎样为你们感谢上帝呢! 10 我们昼夜恳切祷告,渴望能见到你们,弥补你们信心的不足之处。
11 愿我们的父上帝和我们的主耶稣引领我们到你们那里。 12 愿主使你们彼此之间的爱和对他人的爱一齐增长,甚至满溢出来,就像我们爱你们一样。 13 这样,当我们的主耶稣带着祂的众圣徒再来时,你们可以在我们的父上帝面前心里刚强,完全圣洁,无可指责。
1 Thessalonians 3
New International Version
3 So when we could stand it no longer,(A) we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.(B) 2 We sent Timothy,(C) who is our brother and co-worker(D) in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ,(E) to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials.(F) For you know quite well that we are destined for them.(G) 4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.(H) 5 For this reason, when I could stand it no longer,(I) I sent to find out about your faith.(J) I was afraid that in some way the tempter(K) had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.(L)
Timothy’s Encouraging Report
6 But Timothy(M) has just now come to us from you(N) and has brought good news about your faith and love.(O) He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.(P) 7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm(Q) in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God enough for you(R) in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?(S) 10 Night and day we pray(T) most earnestly that we may see you again(U) and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father(V) himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other(W) and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless(X) and holy in the presence of our God and Father(Y) when our Lord Jesus comes(Z) with all his holy ones.(AA)
Kehillah in Thessalonika I 3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we resolved to be left behind alone in Athens.
2 Also we sent Timotiyos, acheinu and fellow po’el of Hashem in the Besuras HaGeulah of Moshiach. We sent Timotiyos in order to give you chozek (strength) and to speak divrei chizzuk to you on behalf of our [orthodox Jewish] Emunah [of the true Dat haYehudit].
3 This was for the tachlis that no one be unsettled because of ES TZARAH. For you yourselves have da’as that we have a divine calendar date with ES TZARAH.
4 For, hinei, when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were going to suffer redifah, just as also it came to pass, of which you have da’as.
5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent in order to know your emunah, lest somehow [Hasatan Samma’el] the Tempter [HaMenasseh] had ensnared you by nissayon and our labor should be for nothing.
6 But, just now, when Timotiyos has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your [correct orthodox Jewish] Emunah and your ahavah and that you always have zochrim tovim (good memories) of us, yearning to see us, just as we yearn to see you.
7 For this reason, Achim b’Moshiach, in all our tzoros and redifah, we received chozek because of you through your emunah.
8 For now we have Chayyim if you have a firm standing and remain ne’emanot (faithful) in Hashem.
9 For what hodayah are we able to return to Hashem concerning you because of all the simcha with which we rejoice on account of you before Eloheinu,
10 As, yomam valailah, we are davening with all retzinut (earnestness) in order to see your penemer (faces) and to bring to shleimut what is lacking in your [orthodox Jewish] emunah?
11 And may Eloheinu and Avinu, may Hashem Himself and Adoneinu Yehoshua direct our way to you.
12 And may Hashem cause you to grow and to overflow and abound in ahavah (agape) for one another and for kol Bnei Adam, just as also we have ahavah (agape) for you,
13 With this tachlis (purpose): to establish your levavot faultless in kedushah (holiness) in the presence of Hashem and Avinu at the Bi’as Moshiach (Coming of Moshiach) of Adoneinu Yehoshua with all His Kadoshim. Omein.
1 Tessalonikerne 3
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
Timoteus blev sendt af sted og kom tilbage med godt nyt
3 1-2 Da vi til sidst ikke kunne holde det ud længere, besluttede vi andre[a] at blive tilbage i Athen og sende vores medarbejder, Guds tjener Timoteus, af sted for at opmuntre jer og styrke jer i troen, 3 så I ikke skulle tabe modet i alle de vanskeligheder, I måtte gennemgå. Men I ved jo, at kristne kan regne med at blive forfulgt. 4 Da vi var hos jer, sagde vi på forhånd, at der ville komme forfølgelser. Og det holdt stik, som I ved. 5 Da jeg altså ikke kunne bære uvisheden længere, sendte jeg som sagt Timoteus for at få at vide, hvordan det stod til med jeres tro. Jeg var bange for, at Fristeren måske havde fået jer til at falde fra troen, og at alt vores arbejde dermed havde været forgæves.
6 Men nu er Timoteus netop vendt tilbage med godt nyt om jeres tro og jeres kærlighed. Han har fortalt, at I husker os med glæde, og at I længes lige så meget efter at se os, som vi længes efter at se jer. 7 Kære venner, de opmuntrende nyheder om jeres stærke tro har givet os nyt mod midt i vores vanskeligheder og lidelser. 8 Da vi nu ved, at I står fast i troen på Herren, kan vi ånde lettet op.
Lovprisning og bøn til Gud
9 Hvordan skal vi nogensinde kunne takke Gud nok for al den glæde, I har bragt os? 10 Dag og nat beder vi indtrængende Gud om, at vi må få lov til at se jer igen og hjælpe jer med det, der endnu måtte mangle i jeres forståelse af Gud.
11 Vi beder om, at Gud, vores Far, og Jesus Kristus, vores Herre, vil gøre det muligt for os at besøge jer. 12 Og vi beder om, at Herren vil lade jeres kærlighed til hinanden og til alle mennesker vokse, ligesom vi har stor kærlighed til jer, 13 så I bliver styrket i troen og sammen med alle de andre kristne kan stå fejlfrie og hellige for Guds ansigt, når Jesus Kristus, vores Herre, kommer igen.
