1 Thessalonians 3
1 Therefore when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
Mbesi nganitukombola kupililila kwakupunda, nipele, twaiweni yambone kusigalila uwe pe ku Asene.
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,
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,
3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
kuti chikulupi cha jwalijose pasikati jenu chinatinganyiche kwaligongo lya malagasyo getu ga. Mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti chitupate malagasyo go pakuŵa uli usache wa Akunnungu kulagaswa.
4 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
Pakuŵa, patwaliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe twansalile chile kuti tutulagaswe, ni mpela inkuti pakumanyilila ni iyoyo yaitite pakuŵa.
5 For this cause I also, when I could not stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
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.
6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you.
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.
7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
Kwa yeleyo achalongo achinjetu, mkusauka kwetu ni malagasyo gatukugapata tukutulaswa ntima nomwe kwa kupilikana nkati chikulupi chenu.
8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
Pakuŵa sambano tukwete umi, kwa kummona ŵanyamwe ndi chiimilile nkutama kwa kulumbikana kwenu ni Ambuje.
9 For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
Sambano tukukombola kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu, malinga ni lukondwa lwatukwete paujo pao kwa ligongo lyenu.
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Muusi ni chilo tukwapopelela Akunnungu kwa kuchalila nnope kuti tukole lipesa lya kuonegana sooni kuti tumpe chachilichose chachipungwiche mu chikulupi chenu.
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
Nipele tukwapopelela Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu atukolochesye litala lya kwika kukwenu.
12 May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,
Ambuje anjonjechesye ni kunchuluchisya unonyelo wa jwine ni jwine ni kwanonyela ŵandu wose mpela itukuti kunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
13 to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
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.
