1 Ŵasesalonike 3
1 Mbesi nganitukombola kupililila kwakupunda, nipele, twaiweni yambone kusigalila uwe pe ku Asene.
For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone:
2 Twantumile kukwenu nlongo njetu che Timoseo, jwakwatumichila Akunnungu pamo ni uwe mmasengo ga kulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito. Twantumile kukwenu kuti anlimbisye mwanya ni kuntusya ntima nkati chikulupi chenu,
And we sent Timothy, our brother, and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith:
3 kuti chikulupi cha jwalijose pasikati jenu chinatinganyiche kwaligongo lya malagasyo getu ga. Mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti chitupate malagasyo go pakuŵa uli usache wa Akunnungu kulagaswa.
That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know, that we are appointed thereunto.
4 Pakuŵa, patwaliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe twansalile chile kuti tutulagaswe, ni mpela inkuti pakumanyilila ni iyoyo yaitite pakuŵa.
For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations, as also it is come to pass, and you know.
5 Kwa ligongo lyo panalepele kwendelechela kupililila, nantumile che Timoseo kuti manyilile ngani sya chikulupi chenu. Najogwepe kuti pane jwachigongomalo jula anaiche kukunnyenga ni masengo gose gatupanganyisye kukwenu gaŵe gangali chindu.
For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you, and our labour should be made vain.
6 Nambo sambano che Timoseo ausile kukwetu kutyochela kukwenu, nombejo atusalile ngani sya kusengwasya sya chikulupi ni unonyelo wenu. Atusalile kuti nkutukumbuchilanga moŵa gose, ni kuti nkulajila kutuwona mpela ila nowe ŵakwe itukuti kulajila kumbona.
But now when Timothy came to us from you, and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you;
7 Kwa yeleyo achalongo achinjetu, mkusauka kwetu ni malagasyo gatukugapata tukutulaswa ntima nomwe kwa kupilikana nkati chikulupi chenu.
Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith,
8 Pakuŵa sambano tukwete umi, kwa kummona ŵanyamwe ndi chiimilile nkutama kwa kulumbikana kwenu ni Ambuje.
Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.
9 Sambano tukukombola kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu, malinga ni lukondwa lwatukwete paujo pao kwa ligongo lyenu.
For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,
10 Muusi ni chilo tukwapopelela Akunnungu kwa kuchalila nnope kuti tukole lipesa lya kuonegana sooni kuti tumpe chachilichose chachipungwiche mu chikulupi chenu.
Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face, and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?
11 Nipele tukwapopelela Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu atukolochesye litala lya kwika kukwenu.
Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
12 Ambuje anjonjechesye ni kunchuluchisya unonyelo wa jwine ni jwine ni kwanonyela ŵandu wose mpela itukuti kunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in charity towards one another, and towards all men: as we do also towards you,
13 Kwayele Akunnungu anlimbisye mitima jenu ni ŵanyamwe ngamma ni chileŵo ni chimme ŵaswela paujo pa Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵetu pachauje Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu pamo ni ŵandu ŵao wose.
To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.
