1 Thessalonians 2
1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
Chenu inwe muvene mwizi, mizwale, kuti kwiza kwetu kwenu kahena kuvali ku sena intuso.
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
Mwizi kuti ku masule tuva nyandi ni ku swavisiswa mu tuva ka chitirwa kwa Mafilipi, sina ha mwizi. Tu vavi ni vundume kwa Ireza wetu ku wamba kwenu ivangeri ya Ireza mu vukukutu vungi.
3 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
Sina inkutazo zetu kana zi vali kuzwa mwi sheya, kamba ku ku sa chena, kamba mu vuchengeleli.
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
Ka kuva vulyo, sina mu tu va zimininwa nji Ireza kuva ku sepiwa ni ivangeri, cwale tu wamba. Tu wamba, insiñi ku tavisa vantu, kono ku tavisa Ireza. Njeye yo tatuba inkulo zentu.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:
Kakuli kana tuva chiti nanga ihi inako ku tendisa maanzwi uvu aku shemba shemba, sina hamwizi, kamba ku uungula intakazo ya vufumu, sina Ireza i mpaki yetu.
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
Kamba ku saka inkanya kuzwa ku vantu, nanga kuzwa kwenu kamba ku vamwi. Kamba ku saka ku tembwa ku vantu sina ka va Apositola va Keresite.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
Ni kuva vulyo, tu vali kwina sinte mukati kenu sina mushemi o mwanakazi yo humbuliza vane.
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
Mwe yi inzila tu vavi ni ku shiyama chenu. Tu va saki ku kuli avela nenwe insiñi feela i ivangeri ya Ireza kono hape ni vwine vuhalo vwetu. Mukuti chi mu vavi ahulu va sakahala kwetu.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
Mukuti mu zeza, Mizwale, vukukutu vwa mutendo wetu ni ku li katataza. Masiku ni musihali tuvali ku tenda kuti pona kanji tu lemezi hansi umwi kwenu. Mweyo inako, tu va kutazi kwenu ivangeri ya Ireza.
10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
Inwe mu mpaki, ni Ireza naye, u jolola vule, mu ku shiyama, ni kusa nyazahala tuvali santi tuvene kwenu mu zumina.
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father [doth] his children,
Mu nzila i swana, mwizi vule zumwi ni zumwi wenu, sina isi ni vana vakwe, tuva mi nyamuni ni ku mi susuweza. Tuva hi vupaki
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
kuti mu yende cha mukwa u lukera Ireza, iye yo mi sumpa ku muvuso wakwe ni mu nkanya.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
Che ri ivaka naswe tu litumera kwe Ireza cha ku sa siya. Mukuti hamu tambula kwetu vulumiwa vwa Ireza vu mu va zuwi, muva vu tambuli insiñi sina cha liinzwi lya vantu. Niha kuva vulyo, inwe muva a tambuli cha mu vuniti mu likalile, liinzwi lya Ireza. Nji cheli liinzwi lina ha ku tenda mukati kenu inwe mu zimina.
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they [have] of the Jews:
Chenu, mizwale, muva vi valikanyisi vwe kereke ya Ireza zina mwa Judeya mwa Keresite Jesu. Sina nenwe hape muva nyandili zi swana zintu ku vakwenu vantu ve munkanda yenu, sina mu vava chitiri ku ma Juda.
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
I vali ma Juda vave hayi vonse Simwine Jesu ni vaporofita. Ivali ma Juda vava tu tandili hanze. Kava tabisi Ireza. Kono, vava nyandisi vantu vonse.
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
Va tu kanina ku wamba ku va machava kuti avo va puluswe. Mamaninizo nji kuti inako yonse ve zulilile mu zivi zabo. Vukali vuvezi havali ku ma mani mani.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
Iswe, mizwale, tuva kauhenye kwenu mu nako infuhi, muvusu, insiñi munkulo. Tu va liki cha vukando vwe nciheho ku vona sifateho chako.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
Tu va ku saka kwiza kwako, Ime, Paulusi, hamwi ni hamwi, kono Satani ava tu zimiki.
19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
Kanti insepo yetu nje ihi ku zi keza, kamba i ntabo, kamba inkuwani ya buikumuso mu vusu vwa Simwine wetu Jesu mu kwiza kwakwe? Kana vavali njimwena ca vungi sina nji vamwi?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
Kakuti inwe nji mwi nkanya yetu ni ntavo yetu.
