1 Thessalonians 2
1 For, yourselves, know, brethren, our entrance which was unto you—that it hath not proved void;
Nokuti munoziva imwi, hama, kupinda kwedu kwamuri, kuti hakuna kuva pasina;
2 But, though we had previously suffered, and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the glad-message of God with much conflict.
asi kunyange takambotambudzika nekuitirwa zvakaipa, sezvamunoziva, paFiripi, takatsunga muna Mwari wedu kutaura kwamuri evhangeri yaMwari pakati pekupikiswa kukuru.
3 For, our exhortation, is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile,
Nokuti kurudziro yedu haina kubva pakunyengera, uye haina kubva patsvina, hainawo kubva pamano-mano;
4 But, even as we have been approved by God, to be entrusted with the glad-message, so, we speak, —not as, unto men, giving pleasure, but unto God—who proveth our hearts.
asi sezvatakatendiwa naMwari, kuti tibatiswe evhangeri, saizvozvo tinotaura; kwete sekufadza vanhu, asi Mwari anoidza moyo yedu.
5 For neither at any time were we found, using words of flattery, —even as ye know, nor a pretext for greed—God, is witness!
Nokuti hatina kutongouya nemashoko ekubata kumeso, sezvamunoziva, kana nemano-mano eruchiva; Mwari chapupu;
6 Nor, of men, seeking glory—either from you, or from others, though we could have assumed, dignity, as Apostles of Christ;
tisingatsvaki rukudzo kuvanhu, kana rwunobva kwamuri kana kuvamwe, kunyange taigona kukuremedzai sevaapositori vaKristu.
7 But we became gentle in your midst, —as though, a nursing mother, had been cherishing her own children:
Asi takange tiri vanyoro pakati penyu, semureri achivaraidza vana vake;
8 Thus, yearning after you, we could have been well-pleased to impart unto you—not only the glad-message of God, but, our own lives also, —because, very dear to us, had ye become.
sezvatinokushuvai kwazvo, takada zvikuru kukupai kwete evhangeri yaMwari chete, asi mweya yedu pacheduwo, nokuti makange muri vadikanwi kwatiri.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: night and day, working, so as not to be a burden unto any of you, we proclaimed unto you the glad-message of God,
Nokuti munorangarira, hama, kushingaira nekurwisa kwedu; nokuti taibata siku nesikati, kuti tisava mutoro kune umwe wenyu, takakuparidzirai evhangeri yaMwari.
10 Ye, are witnesses—God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;
Imwi muri zvapupu, naMwari, kuti taiva vatsvene sei uye takarurama tisina chatingapomerwa kwamuri vanotenda.
11 Even as ye know how, unto each one of you, we were as a father unto his own children, consoling you, and soothing, and calling to witness, —
Sezvamunoziva kuti umwe neumwe wenyu, sababa kuvana vavo takakukurudzirai sei nekunyaradza nekupupura,
12 To the end ye might be walking in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you unto his own kingdom and glory,
kuti mufambe zvakafanira Mwari, anokudanirai kuushe hwake nekubwinya.
13 And, for this cause, we, are also giving thanks unto God unceasingly, that, when ye received a spoken word from us—which was God’s, ye welcomed it—not as a human word, but, even as it truly is, a divine word, —which is also inwardly working itself in you who believe.
Nekuda kwaizvozvi nesu hatimiri kuvonga Mwari, kuti pamakagamuchira shoko raMwari ramakanzwa kwatiri, makarigamuchira kwete seshoko revanhu, asi seriri chokwadi, shoko raMwari rinoshandawo mamuri imwi munotenda.
14 For, ye, became, imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea, in Christ Jesus, in that, the same things, ye, also suffered by your own fellow-countrymen, even as, they, also by the Jews:
Nokuti imwi, hama, makava vateveri vemakereke aMwari ari muJudhiya muna Kristu Jesu; nokuti imwiwo makatambudzika zvakadaro kune vekwenyu momene, sezvavakatambudzwa ivowo neVaJudha,
15 Who have both slain the, Lord, Jesus—and the prophets, and, us, have persecuted, and, unto God, are displeasing, and, unto all men, are contrary, —
ndivowo vakauraya Ishe Jesu nevaporofita vavo vomene, vakatishushawo isu, vasingafadziwo Mwari, uye vachipesana nevanhu vese,
16 Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.
vachitidzivisa kutaurira vahedheni kuti vaponeswe, kuti vagare vachizadzisa zvivi zvavo; asi hasha dzakasvika pamusoro pavo kusvikira pakuguma.
17 Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour, —in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing;
Zvino isu, hama, sezvo takaparadzaniswa nemwi kwechinguvana pazviso, kwete pamoyo, takashingairira zvikuru nechishuwo chikuru kuti tione chiso chenyu.
18 Wherefore, we desired to come unto you—even, I, Paul, both once and again, —and, Satan, thwarted us.
Naizvozvo taida kuuya kwamuri, zvikuru ini Pauro, kamwe nekudzokorora, asi Satani wakatidzivisa.
19 For what shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence?
Nokuti tariro yedu chii, kana mufaro, kana korona yekuzvirumbidza? Hamusi imwizve here pamberi paIshe wedu Jesu Kristu pakuuya kwake?
20 Ye, in fact, are our glory and joy.
Nokuti imwi muri kubwinya nemufaro wedu.
