1 Thessalonians 3
1 Wherefore since we could no longer forbare, wee thought it good to remaine at Athens alone,
Oluvannyuma nga tetukyayinza kugumiikiriza ne tusalawo okusigala ffekka mu Asene.
2 And haue sent Timotheus our brother and minister of God, and our labour felow in the Gospel of Christ, to stablish you, and to comfort you touching your faith,
Ne tutuma Timoseewo, muganda waffe era muweereza munnaffe mu mulimu gwa Katonda, mu Njiri ya Kristo, abagumye era abanyweze mu kukkiriza kwammwe,
3 That no man should be moued with these afflictions: for ye your selues knowe, that we are appointed thereunto.
waleme okubaawo n’omu aterebuka olw’okuyigganyizibwa kwe mwalimu. Mmwe mwennyini mumanyi nti ekyo kye twayitirwa.
4 For verily when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulations, euen as it came to passe, and ye knowe it.
Kubanga ne bwe twali tukyali nammwe twabategeeza nti tuli baakuyigganyizibwa era bwe kyali bwe kityo era mukimanyi.
5 Euen for this cause, when I could no longer forbeare, I sent him that I might knowe of your faith, lest the tempter had tempted you in any sort, and that our labour had bene in vaine.
Ssaayinza kwongera kugumiikiriza kyennava ntuma Timoseewo ajje alabe obanga okukkiriza kwammwe kukyali kunywevu, si kulwa nga mukemebwa omukemi, ne tuba nga twateganira bwereere.
6 But now lately when Timotheus came from you vnto vs, and brought vs good tidings of your faith and loue, and that ye haue good remembrance of vs alwayes, desiring to see vs, as we also do you,
Naye kaakano Timoseewo bw’akomyewo ng’ava gye muli atuleetedde amawulire amalungi ag’okukkiriza kwammwe n’okwagala kwammwe, era nga mutujjukira bulungi bulijjo, nga mwesunga okutulabako nga naffe bwe twesunga okubalabako.
7 Therefore, brethren, we had consolation in you, in all our affliction and necessitie through your faith.
Noolwekyo abaagalwa, newaakubadde nga tuli mu buzibu ne mu kubonaabona, okukkiriza kwammwe kutuzaamu amaanyi.
8 For nowe are wee aliue, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
Kubanga bwe muba abanywevu mu Mukama waffe, naffe tuba balamu.
9 For what thankes can wee recompense to God againe for you, for all the ioy wherewith we reioyce for your sakes before our God,
Kale Katonda tumwebaze tutya olw’essanyu eritujjudde ku lwammwe olw’essanyu lye tulina ku lwammwe mu maaso ga Katonda waffe?
10 Night and day, praying exceedingly that wee might see your face, and might accomplish that which is lacking in your faith?
Katonda tumwegayirira nnyo nnyini emisana n’ekiro, atukkirize okubalabako tujjuulirize ebyo ebikyabulako mu kukkiriza kwammwe.
11 Nowe God himselfe, euen our Father, and our Lord Iesus Christ, guide our iourney vnto you,
Katonda Kitaffe yennyini ne Mukama waffe Yesu aluŋŋamye ekkubo lyaffe okujja gye muli.
12 And the Lord increase you, and make you abound in loue one toward another, and towarde all men, euen as we doe toward you:
Mukama waffe aboongereko okwagala kwammwe, mwagalanenga mwekka na mwekka era mwagalenga nnyo abantu bonna, nga naffe bwe tubaagala,
13 To make your hearts stable and vnblameable in holines before God euen our Father, at the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ with all his Saints.
alyoke anyweze emitima gyammwe nga temuliiko kya kunenyezebwa mu butukuvu mu maaso ga Katonda Kitaffe, Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo bw’alikomawo n’abatukuvu be bonna.
