< 1 Thessalonians 3 >
1 For this reason, enduring no longer, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,
Mbesi nganitukombola kupililila kwakupunda, nipele, twaiweni yambone kusigalila uwe pe ku Asene.
2 and sent Timotheus—our brother, and a servant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ—to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,
Twantumile kukwenu nlongo njetu che Timoseo, jwakwatumichila Akunnungu pamo ni uwe mmasengo ga kulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito. Twantumile kukwenu kuti anlimbisye mwanya ni kuntusya ntima nkati chikulupi chenu,
3 that no one be moved in these tribulations, for you have known that we are set for this,
kuti chikulupi cha jwalijose pasikati jenu chinatinganyiche kwaligongo lya malagasyo getu ga. Mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti chitupate malagasyo go pakuŵa uli usache wa Akunnungu kulagaswa.
4 for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand that we are about to suffer tribulation, as it also came to pass, and you have known [it];
Pakuŵa, patwaliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe twansalile chile kuti tutulagaswe, ni mpela inkuti pakumanyilila ni iyoyo yaitite pakuŵa.
5 because of this also, I, no longer enduring, sent to know your faith, lest he who is tempting tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.
Kwa ligongo lyo panalepele kwendelechela kupililila, nantumile che Timoseo kuti manyilile ngani sya chikulupi chenu. Najogwepe kuti pane jwachigongomalo jula anaiche kukunnyenga ni masengo gose gatupanganyisye kukwenu gaŵe gangali chindu.
6 And Timotheus now having come to us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that you always have a good remembrance of us, desiring much to see us, as we also [to see] you,
Nambo sambano che Timoseo ausile kukwetu kutyochela kukwenu, nombejo atusalile ngani sya kusengwasya sya chikulupi ni unonyelo wenu. Atusalile kuti nkutukumbuchilanga moŵa gose, ni kuti nkulajila kutuwona mpela ila nowe ŵakwe itukuti kulajila kumbona.
7 because of this we were comforted, brothers, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,
Kwa yeleyo achalongo achinjetu, mkusauka kwetu ni malagasyo gatukugapata tukutulaswa ntima nomwe kwa kupilikana nkati chikulupi chenu.
8 because now we live, if you may stand fast in the LORD.
Pakuŵa sambano tukwete umi, kwa kummona ŵanyamwe ndi chiimilile nkutama kwa kulumbikana kwenu ni Ambuje.
9 For what thanks are we able to repay to God for you, for all the joy with which we delight because of you in the presence of our God,
Sambano tukukombola kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu, malinga ni lukondwa lwatukwete paujo pao kwa ligongo lyenu.
10 exceedingly imploring night and day, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith?
Muusi ni chilo tukwapopelela Akunnungu kwa kuchalila nnope kuti tukole lipesa lya kuonegana sooni kuti tumpe chachilichose chachipungwiche mu chikulupi chenu.
11 And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you,
Nipele tukwapopelela Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu atukolochesye litala lya kwika kukwenu.
12 and the LORD cause you to increase and to abound in the love to one another, and to all, even as we also to you,
Ambuje anjonjechesye ni kunchuluchisya unonyelo wa jwine ni jwine ni kwanonyela ŵandu wose mpela itukuti kunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
13 in order to have established your hearts, blameless in sanctification before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His holy ones.
Kwayele Akunnungu anlimbisye mitima jenu ni ŵanyamwe ngamma ni chileŵo ni chimme ŵaswela paujo pa Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵetu pachauje Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu pamo ni ŵandu ŵao wose.
