1 Thessalonians 2
1 For ye your selues knowe, brethren, that our entrance in vnto you was not in vaine,
Mmwe bennyini, abooluganda abaagalwa, mumanyi ng’okujja kwaffe gye muli tekwafa busa.
2 But euen after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated at Philippi, (as ye knowe) we were bolde in our God, to speake vnto you the Gospell of God with much striuing.
Mumanyi nga bwe twabonaabonera e Firipi, n’okuyisibwa obubi kyokka ne tugumira mu Katonda waffe ne tubategeeza Enjiri ya Katonda nga tuli mu kuwakanyizibwa okungi.
3 For our exhortation was not by deceite, nor by vncleannes, nor by guile.
Kubanga okubuulirira kwaffe tekwali kwa bulimba so tekwali kwa bugwenyufu, wadde okw’obukuusa,
4 But as we were allowed of God, that the Gospel should be committed vnto vs, so we speake, not as they that please men, but God, which approoueth our hearts.
naye nga bwe twasaanyizibwa Katonda n’atwesiga n’Enjiri, bwe twogera bwe tutyo, si ng’abaagala okusanyusa abantu, wabula tusiimibwe Katonda, oyo akebera ebirowoozo by’emitima gyaffe.
5 Neither yet did we euer vse flattering wordes, as ye knowe, nor coloured couetousnes, God is recorde.
Tetugezangako kubawangula na bigambo biwaaniriza nga nammwe bwe mumanyi, wadde okuba ab’omululu era Katonda akimanyi,
6 Neither sought we prayse of men, neither of you, nor of others, when we might haue bene chargeable, as the Apostles of Christ.
newaakubadde okunoonyaamu ekitiibwa, newaakubadde okuva eri mmwe wadde abantu abalala,
7 But we were gentle among you, euen as a nource cherisheth her children.
tulyoke tulabike ng’abatume ba Kristo ab’amaanyi. Naye twefuula ng’abaana abato mu maaso gammwe, nga nnyina w’abaana bwe yandyagadde abaana be,
8 Thus being affectioned toward you, our good will was to haue dealt vnto you, not the Gospel of God onely, but also our owne soules, because ye were deare vnto vs.
bwe tutyo bwe twabalumirwa omwoyo ne tusanyuka okubatuusaako si Enjiri ya Katonda yokka naye n’okuwaayo emyoyo gyaffe ffe, kubanga mwafuuka baagalwa baffe.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and trauaile: for we laboured day and night, because we would not be chargeable vnto any of you, and preached vnto you the Gospel of God.
Abooluganda mujjukire okufuba kwaffe n’okutegana kwaffe; bwe twakolanga emisana n’ekiro tuleme okubazitoowerera, nga tubabuulira Enjiri ya Katonda.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and iustly, and vnblameably we behaued our selues among you that beleeue.
Mmwe muli bajulirwa baffe, era ne Katonda akimanyi, nga twali bakkiriza ddala era abatuukirivu abataaliko kya kunenyezebwa, abeeweerayo ddala bwe twali mu mmwe,
11 As ye knowe how that we exhorted you, and comforted, and besought euery one of you (as a father his children)
nga bwe mumanyi nga twali kitaawe wa buli omu ku mmwe nga kitaawe w’abaana bw’abeera eri abaana be,
12 That ye would walke worthy of God, who hath called you vnto his kingdome and glorie.
nga tubabuulirira era nga tubagumya mu mwoyo era nga tubaweerako obujulirwa, ne tubakuutira okutambulanga nga musaanira mu maaso ga Katonda, oyo abayita okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwe ye ne mu kitiibwa kye.
13 For this cause also thanke we God without ceasing, that when ye receiued the worde of God, which ye heard of vs, ye receiued it not as the worde of men, but as it is in deede the worde of God, which also worketh in you that beleeue.
Naffe kyetuva twebaza Katonda obutayosa, kubanga bwe mwawulira ekigambo ekiva gye tuli, temwakiwulira ng’ekiva eri abantu wabula ng’ekiva eri Katonda, nga ky’ekigambo kya Katonda kyennyini, ekikolera ne mu mmwe, abakkiriza.
14 For brethren, ye are become folowers of the Churches of God, which in Iudea are in Christ Iesus, because ye haue also suffred the same things of your owne countrey men, euen as they haue of the Iewes,
Nammwe, abooluganda abaagalwa, mwabonaabona ng’Ekkanisa za Katonda eziri mu Buyudaaya mu Kristo Yesu, nga muyigganyizibwa abantu b’eggwanga lyammwe mmwe, nga nabo bwe baayigganyizibwa abantu b’eggwanga lyabwe Abayudaaya.
15 Who both killed the Lord Iesus and their owne Prophets, and haue persecuted vs away, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men,
Bwe baamala okutta bannabbi baabwe, ne batta ne Mukama waffe Yesu, era naffe baatuyigganya nnyo; tebaasanyusa Katonda era balabe b’abantu bonna,
16 And forbid vs to preach vnto the Gentiles, that they might be saued, to fulfill their sinnes alwayes: for the wrath of God is come on them, to the vtmost.
era baatugaana okubuulira Abaamawanga olw’okutya nti bajja kulokoka, kale ebibi byabwe byeyongera bulijjo; ku nkomerero, obusungu bwa Katonda bubabuubuukiddeko.
17 For asmuch, brethren, as we were kept from you for a season, concerning sight, but not in the heart, we enforced the more to see your face with great desire.
Abooluganda bwe twabaawukanako nga wayiseewo akaseera akatono, wadde essaawa emu, so ng’emitima gyaffe gisigadde eyo, twegomba nnyo okukomawo twongere okubalabako.
18 Therefore we would haue come vnto you (I Paul, at least once or twise) but Satan hindered vs.
Twayagala nnyo okudda gye muli, na ddala nze, Pawulo; nagezaako emirundi n’emirundi, naye Setaani n’atuziyiza.
19 For what is our hope or ioye, or crowne of reioycing? are not euen you it in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his comming?
Kale Mukama waffe Yesu bw’alijja, si mmwe mulibeera essuubi n’essanyu lyaffe, n’engule ey’okwenyumiriza kwaffe?
20 Yea, ye are our glory and ioy.
Kubanga mmwe kitiibwa kyaffe era essanyu lyaffe.
