1 Thessalonians 2
1 Now you yourselves know, brothers, that our entrance to you did not happen without purpose.
Ashaalongo, mwashaayenenji mmumanyinji kuti kunng'owelanga kwetu kukaliji kwa yoyo.
2 Rather, in spite of having already suffered and been insulted in Philippi, as you know, we made bold in our God to speak to you the Gospel of God, in the face of strong opposition.
Mmumanyinji shitwashite potekwa na tukanwa ku Pilipi kula tukanabheika kungwenunji. Nkali twaiimene ndabhila, a Nnungu bhashinkutupa makangala ga kunnungushiyanga Ngani ja Mmbone.
3 Further, our exhortation does not spring from delusion or impurity, nor is it in deception,
Shindu shitukunneyanga mmanganya nngabha sha puganya eu shanyata na wala tukapinga kuntemba mundu jojowe.
4 but we speak precisely as those who have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Gospel, not so as to please men, but to please the God who evaluates our hearts.
Uwe tunabheleketa malinga shibhapinga a Nnungu, pabha bhashikutubhona tunapwaa, gubhatupele liengo lya lunguya Ngani ja Mmboneji. Tukaapinga kwaanonyeyanga bhandunji, ikabheje a Nnungu bhakujimanya mitima jetu mpaka nkati.
5 Further, you well know that we never used words to flatter, or to disguise greed (God is witness),
Pabha malinga shimmumanyinji, uwe twangantekeya mundu jojowe, wala twangalokolila kupata indu kwa nng'iyo, a Nnungu ni bhaakong'ondela bhetu!
6 or to seek glory from men (whether from you or from others)—as apostles of Christ we could have been ‘heavy’,
Twangaloleya ukonjelo kwa bhandunji, wala na mmanganyanji, wala na mundu jojowe,
7 but we were gentle among you, like a nurse cherishing her own children.
nkali twaaliji mitume bha a Kilishitu, twangalonga shindu kunngwenunji. Ikabheje twashinkwiitimalika mbuti nyinamundu anilela ashibhanagwe.
8 Yearning over you in this way, we were well pleased to share with you not only the Gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become dear to us.
Twashinkumpinganga mpaka muntima mmanganyanji, gutupinjile nngabha kuntalashiyangape ga Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Nnungu, ikabhe na kwiishoya twaashayene. Pabha munninginji mmitima jetu.
9 Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and exertion, because working night and day, so as not to burden any of you, we proclaimed the Gospel of God to you.
Ashaalongo, nnikumbushilanga shitwashite tenda maengo ga ukomu na ga totoya. Akuno tulikunnungushiyanga Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Nnungu, twashinkutenda liengo mui na shilo, nkupinga tunabhe nshigo kuka mundu jojowe munkumbi gwenunji.
10 You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;
Mmanganya ni mmaakong'ondela bhetu, nneila peila na a Nnungu bhanakong'ondela, kuti twashinkutama munkumbi gwenunji nkwetenje aki, kwa ukonjelo na uguja na gwangali kugambwa.
11 indeed, you know how we treated each one of you as a father does his own children, exhorting and comforting you,
Mmumanyinji kuti twashinkunneya kila mundu mbuti ainamundu shibhaaleya bhana bhabho,
12 insisting that you conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
tushikuntaganga ntima, nkupinga mmanganje na ndamo malinga shibhaapinga a Nnungu bhanshemilenje nnjinjilanje muupalume na muukonjelo gwabho.
13 Another reason we give thanks to God continually is that when you received from us the spoken Word of God, you welcomed it not as the word of men but, as it actually is, the Word of God, which is indeed operative in you who believe.
Kwa lyene ligongolyo tunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu mobha gowe, pabha putwannungushiyenje ntenga gwa a Nnungu mmanganya mwashinkuupilikanishiyanga niposhela, nngabha malinga ntenga uka mundu, ikabhe malinga kweli ntenga gwa a Nnungu. Na gwene ntenga gula, ni utenda liengo mmitima jenunji mmanganyanji nkukulupalilanga.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of God's congregations in Christ Jesus, the ones in Judea, in that you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen that they did from the Jews
Mmanganya ashaalongo, yashinkumpatanga indu malinga yaapatilenje bha ku makanisha ga a Nnungu ku Yudea kula, indu yaapatilenje bhandunji bhalinginji bha a Yeshu. Mmanganyanji mwashinkupotekwanga na bhashilambo ajenunji, malinga bhanganyabho shibhashite potekwanga na Bhayaudi ajabhonji,
15 (the ones who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, who have persecuted us, who do not please God and are hostile to everybody,
bhaabhulegenje Bhakulungwa a Yeshu na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, gubhatupotekenje na uwe. Bhanakwaashimanga a Nnungu na bhanashimwanga na bhandu bhowe!
16 trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved—so as to fill up the measure of their sins. They have received the full impact of the Wrath).
Gubhalinjilenje kutuibhilila tunaalungushiyanje bhandunji bha ilambo ina ntenga gwa kwaatapulanga. Kwa nneyo gubhatendilenje ilebho yabhonji imalile. Kungai nnjimwa ja a Nnungu jaishilenje.
17 Now we, brothers, having been bereaved of you for a short season (in presence, not in heart), made every effort to see your face, from intense longing.
Ikabheje ashaalongo, kulekana kwetu pukwaliji nngabha kwa lonjeya, numbe pukwaliji kwa shiilu, na nngabha kwa muntima. Uwe gutulokolile mmitima jetu kummonanga kabhili.
18 (We actually tried to come to you—I, Paul, time and again—but Satan thwarted us.)
Kwa nneyo gututumbilile kunng'owelanga kabhili. Nne a Pauli, nashinkupinga ning'owelannje papagwinji, ikabheje Lishetani ashinkutuibhilila.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Is it not precisely you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
Bhuli, shitwiipunile nndi pushitujiyejima mmujo ja Bhakulungwa a Yeshu mobha gushibhaishe? Ikabhe mmanganyanji nninginji ngulupai jetu, na angalala kwetu.
20 Indeed, you are our glory and our joy.
Elo, mmanganyanji ni ukonjelo gwetu na angalala kwetu.
