< 1 Ŵasesalonike 2 >
1 Achalongo achinjetu, mwanya mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti kunjimajimila kwetu nganikuŵa kwa iyiyi peyi.
For, yourselves, know, brethren, our entrance which was unto you—that it hath not proved void;
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, though we had previously suffered, and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the glad-message of God with 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 by God, to be entrusted with the glad-message, so, we speak, —not as, unto men, giving pleasure, but unto God—who 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, —even as ye know, nor a pretext for greed—God, is witness!
6 Nganitusaka kulapikwa ni ŵandu atamuno ni ŵanyamwe atamuno ni ŵandu ŵane,
Nor, of men, seeking glory—either from you, or from others, though we could have assumed, dignity, 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 became gentle in your midst, —as though, a nursing mother, had been cherishing 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.
Thus, yearning after you, we could have been well-pleased to impart unto you—not only the glad-message of God, but, our own lives also, —because, very dear to us, had ye become.
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 toil and hardship: night and day, working, so as not to be a burden unto any of you, we proclaimed unto you the glad-message 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—God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;
11 Nkumanyilila kuti twanjamwiche jwalijose nti atati yakuti kwapanganyichisya achiŵanagwe.
Even as ye know how, unto each one of you, we were as a father unto his own children, consoling you, and soothing, and calling to witness, —
12 Twanlimbisye ni kwatusya mitima ni kwajamuka kuti nkombole kutama kwa kwaŵajila Akunnungu ŵakummilanga kwinjila mu Umwenye ni ukulu wao.
To the end ye might be walking in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you unto 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, are also giving thanks unto God unceasingly, that, when ye received a spoken word from us—which was God’s, ye welcomed it—not as a human word, but, even as it truly is, a divine word, —which is also inwardly working itself in you who 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, became, imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea, in Christ Jesus, in that, the same things, ye, also suffered by your own fellow-countrymen, even as, they, also by 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 have both slain the, Lord, Jesus—and the prophets, and, us, have persecuted, and, unto God, are displeasing, and, unto all men, are contrary, —
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.
Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.
17 Achalongo achinjetu, uwe twalekangene nomwe kwa moŵa pe, sooni kwaliji kwa ungawonegana nambo ngaŵa kwa nganisyo syetu. Kanyuma kanandi twasachile kummona sooni.
Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour, —in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing;
18 Kwa yele twasachile kunjimajimila sooni, uneji che Paolo, nalinjile kaŵilikaŵili kuti iche kukwenu, nambo Shetani ŵatulekasisye.
Wherefore, we desired to come unto you—even, I, Paul, both once and again, —and, Satan, thwarted 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 shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence?
20 Kusyene kwaligongo lyenu, uwe tukulilapa ni kusengwa.
Ye, in fact, are our glory and joy.
