1 Thessalonians 2
1 For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which [we had] to you, that it has not been in vain;
Nokuti munoziva imwi, hama, kupinda kwedu kwamuri, kuti hakuna kuva pasina;
2 but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.
asi kunyange takambotambudzika nekuitirwa zvakaipa, sezvamunoziva, paFiripi, takatsunga muna Mwari wedu kutaura kwamuri evhangeri yaMwari pakati pekupikiswa kukuru.
3 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
Nokuti kurudziro yedu haina kubva pakunyengera, uye haina kubva patsvina, hainawo kubva pamano-mano;
4 but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.
asi sezvatakatendiwa naMwari, kuti tibatiswe evhangeri, saizvozvo tinotaura; kwete sekufadza vanhu, asi Mwari anoidza moyo yedu.
5 For we have not at any time been [among you] with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God [is] witness;
Nokuti hatina kutongouya nemashoko ekubata kumeso, sezvamunoziva, kana nemano-mano eruchiva; Mwari chapupu;
6 nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
tisingatsvaki rukudzo kuvanhu, kana rwunobva kwamuri kana kuvamwe, kunyange taigona kukuremedzai sevaapositori vaKristu.
7 but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
Asi takange tiri vanyoro pakati penyu, semureri achivaraidza vana vake;
8 Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.
sezvatinokushuvai kwazvo, takada zvikuru kukupai kwete evhangeri yaMwari chete, asi mweya yedu pacheduwo, nokuti makange muri vadikanwi kwatiri.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.
Nokuti munorangarira, hama, kushingaira nekurwisa kwedu; nokuti taibata siku nesikati, kuti tisava mutoro kune umwe wenyu, takakuparidzirai evhangeri yaMwari.
10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:
Imwi muri zvapupu, naMwari, kuti taiva vatsvene sei uye takarurama tisina chatingapomerwa kwamuri vanotenda.
11 as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,
Sezvamunoziva kuti umwe neumwe wenyu, sababa kuvana vavo takakukurudzirai sei nekunyaradza nekupupura,
12 that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
kuti mufambe zvakafanira Mwari, anokudanirai kuushe hwake nekubwinya.
13 And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received [the] word of [the] report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe.
Nekuda kwaizvozvi nesu hatimiri kuvonga Mwari, kuti pamakagamuchira shoko raMwari ramakanzwa kwatiri, makarigamuchira kwete seshoko revanhu, asi seriri chokwadi, shoko raMwari rinoshandawo mamuri imwi munotenda.
14 For ye, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also they of the Jews,
Nokuti imwi, hama, makava vateveri vemakereke aMwari ari muJudhiya muna Kristu Jesu; nokuti imwiwo makatambudzika zvakadaro kune vekwenyu momene, sezvavakatambudzwa ivowo neVaJudha,
15 who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and [are] against all men,
ndivowo vakauraya Ishe Jesu nevaporofita vavo vomene, vakatishushawo isu, vasingafadziwo Mwari, uye vachipesana nevanhu vese,
16 forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
vachitidzivisa kutaurira vahedheni kuti vaponeswe, kuti vagare vachizadzisa zvivi zvavo; asi hasha dzakasvika pamusoro pavo kusvikira pakuguma.
17 But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;
Zvino isu, hama, sezvo takaparadzaniswa nemwi kwechinguvana pazviso, kwete pamoyo, takashingairira zvikuru nechishuwo chikuru kuti tione chiso chenyu.
18 wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
Naizvozvo taida kuuya kwamuri, zvikuru ini Pauro, kamwe nekudzokorora, asi Satani wakatidzivisa.
19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not ye also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Nokuti tariro yedu chii, kana mufaro, kana korona yekuzvirumbidza? Hamusi imwizve here pamberi paIshe wedu Jesu Kristu pakuuya kwake?
20 for ye are our glory and joy.
Nokuti imwi muri kubwinya nemufaro wedu.
