1 Thessalonians 2
1 You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.
Ku nsoko unyenye akola mulingile, aluna ku upembyi nuitu kitalanyu shanga ai wanankanda.
2 As you are aware, we had already endured suffering and shameful treatment in Philippi. But in the face of strong opposition, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God.
Mulingile kina u ng'wandyo ai akagilye hangi ai akiutendele ku minyala uko ku Filipi, anga ni mulingile. Ai katulaa nu ukamatiku mung'wa Itunda kitunta inkani ninza niang'wa Itunda ga nuku lwago lidu.
3 For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.
Ku ndogoelyo u ulangi nuitu shanga upembeeye nu ubi, ang'wi mu ushapu, ang'wi mi isue.
4 Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.
Badala akwe, anga iti nai kugombekile ni Itunda nu ku huiilwa inkani ninza, uu ni kuitunta. Kuitunta, shanga ku aloeelya antu. kuiti kumuloeelya Itunda. Ng'wenso wing'wene yuyo wipukaa inkolo ni itu
5 As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness!
Ku ndogoelyo shanga ai kutumie i makani a kisenkeneelya matungo ihi, anga ni mulingile, ang'wi kutumila makani anga kisingiilya ku nsula, Itunda ingi mukuiili nuitu.
6 Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
Ang'wi shanga ai kudumile ikulyo ku antu, ang'wi kupuma kitalanyu ang'wi ku angiiza. Ai kuhumile kudaya kuguniiligwaa anga itumi ang'wa Kristo
7 On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
Badala akwe ai kutuile kiapolo kati anyu anga nyinya nuiapolya i ana akwe mukola.
8 We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
Ku nzila iyi ai katulaa nu ulowa kitalanyu. Ai katulaa alyuuku kumuhanguila shanga udu inkani ni nziza niang'wa Itunda ila ga nu likalo nu litu akola. Ku nsoko ai matulaa mi alowa itu.
9 Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
Kunsoko a luna, mukimbukile u mulimo nu lwago nulitu. Utiku nu mung'wi ai katulaa kuituma u mulimo kuleke kumulemeelya wihi. Matungo nanso, ai kuatanantiiye inkani ninza niang'wa Itunda.
10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
Unyenye miakuili, ni Itunda ga, ingi ku ikulyo nila mpyani kii, ni bila usokogwa nai kugendile akola ntongeela anyu ni muhuiie.
11 For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children—
Iti uu, mulingile ingi ku ndogoelyo kii ku kila ung'wi anyu, anga uTata nuili ku ana akwe nai kumukomangiie nu kumuhumya insula. ai ku kuiie
12 encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
kina itakiwe kulongoleka anga nuili u witangwi nuanyu kung'wa Itunda, nai umitangile mu utemi ni ikulyo nilakwe.
13 And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the true word of God—the word which is now at work in you who believe.
Ku nsoko nanso kumu lumbiiye Itunda ga kila matungo. Ku nsoko itungo nai musingiiye kupuma kitaitu u lukani nulang'wa Itunda nai muligulye, ai musingiiye shanga anga lukani nula ana adamu. Badala akwe, ai musingiiye anga itai nili, lukani lang'wa Itunda. Ingi lukani ulu niiza litumaa mulimo mukati anyu ni muhuiie.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,
Ku iti uyenye, aluna, mutule antu a kutyatisha i matekeelo ang'wa Itunda nakoli ku Uyahudi mung'wa Kristo Yesu. Ku nsoko nu nyenye ga ai magigwe ku makani yayo yaayo kupuma ku antu anyu, anga nai yatulaa kina kupuma ku Ayahudi.
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,
ai atulaa ingi Ayahudi wawo nai amubulagile uMukulu uYesu palung'wi ni anyakidagu. Ingi Ayahudi naza akuzunsilye kupume kunzi. Shanga amuloeeye Itunda hangi ingi alugu ku antu ihi.
16 hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.
Ai akugiiye kuleke kuligitya ni anyaingu iti alije kugunwa. Mapumilo akwe ingi kina alongolekile ni milandu ao. Mpelo ikuo nilang'wa Itunda lazilee migulya ao.
17 Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.
uSese, aluna, ai katulaa kibagula nu nyenye ku itungo ikupi, kinya muili, shanga mu nkolo. Ai kitumile ku uhumi nuitu nu ku nsula nkulu kihenga u usu nuanyu.
18 For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.
Kunsoko ai kalowa kupembya kitalanyu, nene Paulo, ku nkua ang'wandyo ni nkua inzuya, kuiti u mulugu ai ukugiiye.
19 After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
Ku kihuiila kitaitu ingi ntuni ku panyambele, angwi iloeelya, ang'wi ngala akiloelya ntongeela a Mukulu itu uYesu itungo nila kupembya kitalakwe? Itii shanga nyenye ikilo anga ni ili iauya?
20 You are indeed our glory and our joy.
Kunsoko u nyenye ingi ikulyo ni iloeelya ni litu.
