1 Thessalonians 2
1 You yourselves for know, brothers, the coming of us to you that not in vain has been;
Mbuli mbumuzi lwanu, bakwesu, kuti kuza kwesu kuli ndinywe tekwali kwabiyo.
2 but (and *k*) having previously suffered and having been mistreated even as you know, in Philippi, we had boldness in the God of us to speak to you the gospel of God amid much conflict.
Naabi mbuli mbumuzi, mikuba chiindi twakafwabisigwa akujatwa chakuusa kuFilipi, twakasima muliLeza wesu kwambula mumakani mabotu aaLeza mukombozeka kwinji.
3 For the exhortation of us [is] not of error nor of impurity (nor *N(k)O*) in trickery;
Nkambo kakukombelezya kwesu tetwaka zwa kukubisya, mbuli nakwakazwa kukusalalamikuba kulweeno.
4 but even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as men pleasing but (*k*) as God who is examining the hearts of us.
Kwinda mbuli mbutwakazumininwa aLeza, akusyomeka kumakani mabotu, lino tulambula, chakutabotezya muntu, pesi Leza ngonguwe uyoolanga myoyo yesu.
5 Never for at any time with word of flattery were we, even as you know, nor with a pretext for greed — God [is] witness —
Elyo takwe nitwaka belesya majwi akuyosya, mbuli mbumuzi, na amuzee zowakuvumba butangazu Leza mukkamboni wesu.
6 nor seeking from men glory nor from you nor from others, [though] having authority with weight to be as Christ’s apostles;
Na tuyandula bulemu buzwa kubantu, nikuba kuzwa kulindinywe, na ba apositolo aabami.
7 But we were (infants *N(K)O*) in [the] midst of you, as (maybe *N(k)O*) a nursing mother shall cherish her own children,
Ikwinda, twakaba batete akti kanumbuli banyina bawumbulizya bana babo.
8 So (yearning for *N(k)O*) you we were pleased to have imparted to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because beloved to us (you have become. *N(k)O*)
Munzila eeyi twakali kumuyanda. Twakabotelwa kwabana andinywe kakutali kumani aaLeza luzutu pesi alimwi abuumi bwesu. Mbuli kuti mwakati mwaba bayandwi kulindiswe.
9 You remember for, brothers, the labor of us and hardship: By night (for *k*) and day working in order not to burden anyone of you we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
Mbuli mbumuyeya, bakwesu, milimu yesu amamanino. Mansiku asikati twakali kubeleka kuti tuatabi mukuli kulumwi awumwi akati kanu. Mbuli mbutwaka kambawuka makani mabotu aaLeza.
10 You [are] witnesses and God, how holily and righteously and blamelessly toward you those believing we were,
Inywe mulibakkamboni, alimwi aaLeza mbuli mbwasalala, mbwaluleme, achakutaba amulandu, yakuba imponeno kuli ndinywe nimusyoma.
11 just as you know how one each of you as a father children of himself exhorting you and comforting and (charging *N(k)O*)
Munzila njiyeeyo mulizi mbutwakalibede kuli umwi awumwi wanu, mbuli wisi kubana bakwe, ndamusiya akumumbulizya akumukombelezya
12 unto (to walk *N(k)O*) you worthily of God who is calling you to the His own kingdom and glory.
kuti mweende munzila iyeelede yaLeza, umwita kubwami akubulemu.
13 (And *no*) because of this also we ourselves give thanks to God unceasingly that having received [the] word [by your] hearing from us of God you accepted not [the] word of men but even as it is truly [the] word of God, which also works in you who believe.
Nkambo kakaako alimwi tilumba Leza lyoonse, kuti na mwatambula ijwi lyaLeza eelyo ndimwakamvwa kuzwa kuli ndiswe, temwakalitambula anga lyakazwa kumunt, pesi mbuli akakasimpe, ndijwi lyaLeza alimwi lila aamulimui mulindinywe nimusyoma.
14 you yourselves for imitators became, brothers, of the churches of God which are being in Judea in Christ Jesus, For (the [same] *N(K)O*) (these *N(k)O*) suffered also you yourselves from [your] own countrymen, even as also [did] they from the Jews,
Alimwi bakwesu mwakaba basikwiiya bambungano zyaLeza zili muJudiya muliKkilisito Jesu. Nkikaako alimwi mwakafwabisigwa muzintu zikozyene kuzwa kubantu banyika yanu, mbuli mbubakachita kuzwa kumaJuda.
15 who both the Lord having killed Jesus and ([their] own *K*) prophets and (us *NK(O)*) having driven out and God not pleasing and to all men opposed,
Bakajaya antoomwe Mwami Jesu abansimi alimwi bakatutandila anze. tababotezyi Leza. Kwinda, Kukazyanya abantu boonse.
16 they are hindering us to the Gentiles to speak that they may be saved, so as to fill up their sins always; Has come now upon them the wrath (of the God *O*) to the utmost.
Batukasya kwambula abaMasi kuti bafutulwe. Impindu njakuti lyoonse bakali kuzuzya zibi zyabo kusikila kumamanino.
17 We ourselves however, brothers, having been bereaved of you for [the] time of an hour in face not in heart, more abundantly were eager the face of you to see with great desire.
Pesi iswe bakwesu, twakali pambukene andinywe kwachiindi chifwifwi mubuntu peepe mumoyo. Twakalipeda loko, achiyandisyo chipati kuti tubone masyu anu.
18 (therefore *N(k)O*) we wanted to come to you — I myself indeed Paul both once and twice — and hindered us Satan.
Mbokunga twakali kuyanda kusika kulindinywe - ichonzyo me - Pawulo, lumwi alubo - pesi Satani wakatwimikizya.
19 Who [is] for our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Except only even you before the Lord of us Jesus (Christ *K*) at His coming?
Nkaambo ninzi bulangizi bwesu na kubotelwa, na musini wakulisumpula kunembo lyaMwami Jesu kukuboola kwakwe? Tensi nduwe?
20 You yourselves for are the glory of us and joy.
Mbokunga uli bulemu, alukondo lwesu.
