1 Thessalonians 3
1 So when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left on our own in Athens.
Kulwejo, anu chaliga chitakutula kwigumilisha kwona, cheganilisishe ati jakabhee je kisi okusoka eliya Athene eswe chenyele.
2 We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,
Chamutumile Timoteo, omuili weswe no omukosi wa Nyamuanga mu musango gwo bhwana ogwa Kristo, okubhakomesha no kubhasilisha okulubhana ne likilisha lyemwe.
3 so that none of you would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.
Chakolele ganu koleleki asiga kubhao munu wona wona owo kutashatasha na jinyako jinu. Kulwo kubha abhene bhamenyele ati chamalile okusolwa ingulu ya linu.
4 Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.
Ni chimali, mu mwanya gunu chaliga chili amwi nemwe, chelabhile okubhelesha ati chaliga chili ayei okubha jinyako, na ganu gwabhonekene lwa kutyo mumenyele.
5 For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and caused our labor to be in vain.
Ku nsonga inu anu naliga nitakutula kwigumilisha lindi, natumile koleleki nibhone okumenya ingulu ye likilisha lyemwe. Amwi lugendo omulegeja aliga abhalegejishe, ne milimu jeswe ejibha ja kutye-ela.
6 But just now, Timothy has returned from his visit with the good news about your faith, your love, and the fond memories you have preserved, longing to see us just as we long to see you.
Mbe nawe Timoteo ejile kweswe nasokelela kwemwe mbe nachiletela omusango gwo bhwana ingulu ye likilisha no kwenda kwemwe. Achibhwiliye ati muno bhwichukisho bhwe kisi ingulu yeswe, na ati mwendele okuchilola lwa kutyo eswe one chendele okubhalolako emwe.
7 For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and persecution, we have been reassured about you, because of your faith.
Kulwa insonga inu, abhaili chasilikile muno nemwe ku nsonga ye likilisha lyemwe, mu nyako no kunyasibwa kweswe kwona.
8 For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in the Lord.
Kwa woli chilamile, mukasimbagilila ku Latabhugenyi,
9 How can we adequately thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in His presence?
ni simeki eyo kumuyana Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe, mukukondelwa kwone ganu chilinago imbele ya Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe?
10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking from your faith.
Echisabhwa muno mugeta na mumwisi koleleki chibhulole obhusu bhwemwe no kubhongelesishako chinu chibhakeyeleko mulikilisha lyemwe.
11 Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.
Nyamuanga weswe na Lata omwenene, na Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu achitangashe mu njila jeswe chibhakingeko.
12 And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,
Na Latabhugenyi abhakole no kubhongelesishako elyenda, mukwendana no kubhenda abhanu bhona, lwa kutyo echibhakolela emwe.
13 so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.
Na akole kutya koleleki asimbishega emyoyo jemwe jisige kubha na masolo mu bhulengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga weswe na Lata weswe mu kuja kwa Latabhugenyi Yesu amwi na Bhelu bhaye bhona.
