< 1 Ŵasesalonike 2 >
1 Achalongo achinjetu, mwanya mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti kunjimajimila kwetu nganikuŵa kwa iyiyi peyi.
For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain:
2 Mpela inkuti kumanyilila, tukanaŵe kwika kukwenu twalageswe kaje ni kutukanwa ku Filipi ko. Namose kwaliji ni kutukanila kwannope, Akunnungu ŵetu ŵatukamuchisye kunlalichila Ngani Jambone jakwe pangajogopa.
but having suffered before, and been shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict.
3 Utenga watukuulalichila kukwenu ngaukukulupilila unami atamuno nningwa wangalumbana atamuno ngatukusaka kunlambusya mundu jwalijose.
For our exhortation [is] not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 Nambo moŵa gose tukusala mpela yakuti kutukulupilila Akunnungu pakuŵa ŵelewo paŵatukundile kuti tukuŵajilwa, ŵatupele masengo ga kulalichila Ngani Jambone ji kwa ŵandu. Nningwa wetu ngaŵa kwanonyelesya ŵandu nambo tukusaka kwanonyelesya Akunnungu, ŵakusimanyilila nganisyo sya mitima jetu.
but even as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God which proveth our hearts.
5 Akunnungu ali jwaumboni jwetu, ni ŵanyamwe mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti namose lyuŵa limo nganituŵa ni maloŵe ga kulikombakomba kwa ŵandu atamuno maloŵe ga kunyenga, namose kukola ipanje yenu kwa kalamuka.
For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness, God is witness;
6 Nganitusaka kulapikwa ni ŵandu atamuno ni ŵanyamwe atamuno ni ŵandu ŵane,
nor seeking glory of men, neither from you, nor from others, when we might have been burdensome, as apostles of Christ.
7 namuno uweji tuli achinduna ŵa Kilisito, tukakombwele kunkanganichisya kuti ntujitichisye uwe. Nambo uweji twalitimaliche pasikati jenu mpela achikulu yakuti kwalela achiŵanagwe.
But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:
8 Uweji twannonyele nnope mwanya namose kuŵa chile ngaŵa kwa kunnalichila Ngani Jambone ja Akunnungu pe, nambo ni kukoposya umi wetu iyoyo kwa ligongo lyenu, pakuŵa kusyene mwanya ndi ŵakunonyelwa ŵetu.
even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us.
9 Achalongo achinjangu, nkukumbuchila itwatite kulaga ni kugapanganya masengo ga kulimba. Patwalalichilaga Ngani Jambone ja Akunnungu, twapanganyisye masengo muusi ni chilo kuti tukantopela atamuno jumo jwa ŵanyamwe.
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 Ŵanyamwe ndi ŵaumboni ŵetu, ni Akunnungu nombe ali jwaumboni jwetu itwatite pakutama pasikati jenu mwanya ŵankukulupilila, twatemi yaikuti pakuŵajilwa kwa uswela ni pangali kulalatilwa.
Ye are witnesses, and God [also], how holily and righteously and unblameably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:
11 Nkumanyilila kuti twanjamwiche jwalijose nti atati yakuti kwapanganyichisya achiŵanagwe.
as ye know how we [dealt with] each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging [you], and testifying,
12 Twanlimbisye ni kwatusya mitima ni kwajamuka kuti nkombole kutama kwa kwaŵajila Akunnungu ŵakummilanga kwinjila mu Umwenye ni ukulu wao.
to the end that ye should walk worthily of God, who calleth you into his own kingdom and glory.
13 Sooni tukwete ligongo liine lya kwatogolela Akunnungu pangaleka pakuŵa patwannyichisye Ngani Jambone ja Akunnungu, mwajipilikene ni kujipochela. Mwajipochele ngaŵa nti liloŵe lya ŵandu nambo nti liloŵe lya Akunnungu, ni isyene ni ilitite pakuŵa. Pakuŵa Akunnungu ni ŵakupanganya masengo mmitima jenu mwanya ŵankukulupilila.
And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, [even the word] of God, ye accepted [it] not [as] the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.
14 Achalongo achinjangu, indu iyaakopochele mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaali ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵa ku Yudea, ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe inkopochele iyoyo peyo. Pakuŵa mwanya mwalageswe ni ŵandu ŵa mu chilambo chenu ilaila mpela iŵalageswe ŵanyawo ni Ŵayahudi achinjao.
For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;
15 Aŵala Ŵayahudi ŵangakukulupilila ni uŵammuleje Ambuje Che Yesu ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni kutulagasya nowe ŵakwe. Ŵandu ŵa ngakwanonyelesya Akunnungu, sooni ali ŵammagongo ŵa ŵandu wose!
who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drave out us, and please not God, and are contrary to all men;
16 Namose ŵalinjile kutukanya kulalichila Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuti akakombola kukulupuswa. Kwa kutenda yeleyo ŵajonjechesye sambi ni kugumbalichisya ngoo pachanya sambi syatesile moŵa gose. Nambo mbesi jakwe lutumbilo lwa Akunnungu lwaichilile.
forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins alway: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 Achalongo achinjetu, uwe twalekangene nomwe kwa moŵa pe, sooni kwaliji kwa ungawonegana nambo ngaŵa kwa nganisyo syetu. Kanyuma kanandi twasachile kummona sooni.
But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:
18 Kwa yele twasachile kunjimajimila sooni, uneji che Paolo, nalinjile kaŵilikaŵili kuti iche kukwenu, nambo Shetani ŵatulekasisye.
because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.
19 Uli, patutujime paujo pa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu pataiche tutulilapile chichi nkati kupunda kwetu? Chitulilapilile ŵanyamwe mwachinsyene. Ŵanyamwe ni ŵandi chilolelo chetu, ni lukondwa lwetu ni ŵandi chindu mpela singwa.
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
20 Kusyene kwaligongo lyenu, uwe tukulilapa ni kusengwa.
For ye are our glory and our joy.
