1 Thessalonians 3
1 Therefore, when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
Kulwejo, anu chaliga chitakutula kwigumilisha kwona, cheganilisishe ati jakabhee je kisi okusoka eliya Athene eswe chenyele.
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the gospel of Messiah, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith;
Chamutumile Timoteo, omuili weswe no omukosi wa Nyamuanga mu musango gwo bhwana ogwa Kristo, okubhakomesha no kubhasilisha okulubhana ne likilisha lyemwe.
3 that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
Chakolele ganu koleleki asiga kubhao munu wona wona owo kutashatasha na jinyako jinu. Kulwo kubha abhene bhamenyele ati chamalile okusolwa ingulu ya linu.
4 For truly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
Ni chimali, mu mwanya gunu chaliga chili amwi nemwe, chelabhile okubhelesha ati chaliga chili ayei okubha jinyako, na ganu gwabhonekene lwa kutyo mumenyele.
5 For this cause I also, when I could not stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
Ku nsonga inu anu naliga nitakutula kwigumilisha lindi, natumile koleleki nibhone okumenya ingulu ye likilisha lyemwe. Amwi lugendo omulegeja aliga abhalegejishe, ne milimu jeswe ejibha ja kutye-ela.
6 But when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you;
Mbe nawe Timoteo ejile kweswe nasokelela kwemwe mbe nachiletela omusango gwo bhwana ingulu ye likilisha no kwenda kwemwe. Achibhwiliye ati muno bhwichukisho bhwe kisi ingulu yeswe, na ati mwendele okuchilola lwa kutyo eswe one chendele okubhalolako emwe.
7 for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
Kulwa insonga inu, abhaili chasilikile muno nemwe ku nsonga ye likilisha lyemwe, mu nyako no kunyasibwa kweswe kwona.
8 For now we live, since you stand firm in the Lord.
Kwa woli chilamile, mukasimbagilila ku Latabhugenyi,
9 For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;
ni simeki eyo kumuyana Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe, mukukondelwa kwone ganu chilinago imbele ya Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe?
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Echisabhwa muno mugeta na mumwisi koleleki chibhulole obhusu bhwemwe no kubhongelesishako chinu chibhakeyeleko mulikilisha lyemwe.
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;
Nyamuanga weswe na Lata omwenene, na Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu achitangashe mu njila jeswe chibhakingeko.
12 and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love for one another and for all, even as we also do toward you,
Na Latabhugenyi abhakole no kubhongelesishako elyenda, mukwendana no kubhenda abhanu bhona, lwa kutyo echibhakolela emwe.
13 to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
Na akole kutya koleleki asimbishega emyoyo jemwe jisige kubha na masolo mu bhulengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga weswe na Lata weswe mu kuja kwa Latabhugenyi Yesu amwi na Bhelu bhaye bhona.
