1 Thessalonians 2
1 Brothers and sisters, you yourselves know what our visit meant to you, and that it wasn't wasted!
Kulwo kubha emwe abhene mumenyele, abhaili, ati okuja kweswe kwemwe kwaliga kutali kwa kutye- ela.
2 You'll recall that after having had much trouble and bad treatment at Philippi, with the help of God we still dared to share God's good news with you, despite the opposition we faced.
Mumenyele ati mubhwambilo chanyakile na bhachikolee kwa jinswalo elya Filipi, lwakutyo mumenyele. Chaliga chili no bhuyali mu Nyamuanga mu musango gwo bwana ogwa Nyamuanga nolwo mu nyako nyafu.
3 For what we speak about isn't deceptive, or worthless, or fraudulent.
Kulwo kubha obhusilisha bhweswe bhutakulubhana no bhubhibhi nolwo mu bhujabhi, nolwo mubhwilige-lige.
4 On the contrary, we have God's approval for what we say—he's entrusted us with sharing the good news. We don't set out to please people, but God. He's the one who judges our motives.
Amwi nejo, lwa kutyo chekilisibhwe na Nyamuanga no kwikilisibhwa kwo omusango gwo bhwana, nkokutyo echaikaga. Echaika, atali kulwo kubhakondelesha abhanu, mbe nawe okumukondelesha Nyamuanga. Omwenene enyele niwe unu katatilisha mu mitima jeswe.
5 As you know, we've never used flattering words. Nor were we covering up some greedy, selfish attitude—as God is our witness!
Kulwo kubha chitatumie misango jo kwikuya mu mwanya gwona gwona, lwakutyo mumenyele, nolwo utatumie misango kuti chibheelesisho Cha inamba, Nyamuanga ni mubhambasi weswe.
6 We weren't trying to win anybody's praise—not from you, nor anyone else. We could have become a “burden” to you as messengers of Christ,
Nolwo chitaigile ekusho kubhanu, nolwo okusoka kwimwe amwi okusoka ku bhandi. Chakatulile okutonga no okwendibhwa kuti Jintumwa eja Kristo.
7 but instead we acted kindly among you, like a mother caring for her own children.
Chejile chamala nichibha bhololo agati yemwe uti Mai unu kasilisha abhana bhaye omwene.
8 We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not just God's good news, but also our very own selves, because you had become so dear to us.
Munjila inu chaliga chili no kwenda kwimwe. Nikwo kutyo chabhasabhile okubha amwi atali kulwo musango gwo bhwana-la ogwa Nyamuanga nawe one no bhulame bhweswe eswe abhene. Kulwo kubha mwabhee abhendwa bheswe.
9 Don't you remember, brothers and sisters, all our hard work— working day and night so we wouldn't be a burden to any of you as we shared God's good news with you?
Kulwo kubha bhaili, omwichuka emilimu na jinyako jeswe. Mugeta na mumwisi chaliga nichikola emilimu koleleki chasiga kumtamilisha munu wona wona. Mumwanya ogwo, chabhasimuliye omusango gwo bhwana ogwa Nyamuanga.
10 You yourselves can testify as to how we acted, and God can too—how we treated you believers with a holy attitude, fairly and blamelessly.
Emwe muli bhabhambasi, na Nyamuanga one, ni kwo bhulengelesi-ki, mu-chimali, no kubhulwa echilwala lwakutyo chalibhataga abhene imbele yemwe bhanu omwikilisha.
11 You know how we cared for every one of you like a father caring for his own children. We encouraged you, comforted you, and shared with you our experience
Kutyo nikwo bhili, mumenyele ati nikutiki ku bhuli umwi wemwe, lwa kutyo Lata ali ku bhana bhaye lwa kutyo chabhasimuliye no kubha simbagilisha omwoyo. Nchibhabhambalila
12 so that you could live as God would want you to live—the God who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
ati kwaliga kubheile okulibhata lwa muli okubhilikilwa kwemwe ku Nyamuanga, unu abhabhilikie mu bhukama na mwikusho lwaye.
13 Another thing: we're always thanking God that when you heard and accepted the word of God, you didn't treat it as some human words, but what it truly is, the word of God. This is what is at work in those of you who trust in him.
Kulwa insonga eyo echimusima Nyamuanga. one bhuli mwanya. Kulwo kubha mumwanya gunu mwamulamiye okusoka kwimwe emisango ja Nyamuanga lwa kutyo mwonguywe, mwalamiye gutali kuti musango gwa abhanamunu. Mbe nawe mwalamiye chimali kutyo bhili, omusango gwa Nyamuanga. Ni musango gunuogukola emilimu agati yemwe bhanu mwikilisishe.
14 The experience you brothers and sisters have had imitates that of God's churches that belong to Christ Jesus in Judaea. Just like your fellow Jewish Christians you suffered as they did at the hands of the Jewish leaders
Kulwejo emwe, Bhaili, mubhe bhanu bho kulubhilila amakanisa ga Nyamuanga ganu gali mu Bhuyaudi mu Kristo Yesu. Kulwo kubha emwe one mwanyasibhe mu misango jilya jilya okusoka ku bhanu bhemwe, lwakutyo jaliga jili okusoka ku Bhayaudi.
15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and chased us out. They don't please God and they are hostile to everyone,
Bhaliga bhali Bhayaudi nibho bhamwitile Latabhugenyi Yesu amwi na abhalagi. Ni Bhayaudi bhanu bhachibhilimishe okubha anja. Bhatamukondelesha Nyamuanga na nibhasoko ku bhanu bhona.
16 trying to prevent us from speaking to the other nations to prevent them from being saved. They're always sinning to the maximum extent, but for them full judgment has arrived!
Bhachiganyishe chisige okwaika na bhamaanga koleleki bhabhone okukisibhwa. Amwi nejo hi atii abhagendelela ne bhibhibhi bhyebhwe. Kubhutelo lisungu lyejile ingulu yebhwe.
17 Brothers and sisters, since we felt as if we'd experienced a family separation because we hadn't seen you for a while (separated physically though not in spirit), we tried even harder to come and see you again face to face because that's what we wanted to do.
Eswe, Bhaili, chaliga chaukene nemwe kwo mwanya mufuyi, chimubhili, atali mu chinyamwoyo. Chakolele kwo bhutulo bheswe na mu lyenda ekulu kwo okulola obhusu bhweswe.
18 We really wanted to come and visit you, and I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan stopped us.
kulwo kubha chaliga nichenda okuja kwemwe, Anye Paulo, mulugendo lumwi na lugendo lundi, mbe nawe Shetani anganyishe.
19 For what gives us hope, what makes us happy, what we are really proud of as we stand before our Lord Jesus Christ when he comes back—is having you there too!
Kulwo kubha mu is byikilisha kweswe katungu Kandi ni chinuki amwi bhukonde, amwi lutenga lwo mwikusho imbele ya Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu mu mwanya gwo kuja kwaye? Angu kwiya kafu atali emwe lwa kutyo bhali abhandi?
20 You are our pride and joy!
Kulwo kubha emwe mulikusho no kukondelwa kweswe.
