1 Thessalonians 2
1 And ye yourselves, my brethren, know our entrance among you, that it was not in vain:
Chenu inwe muvene mwizi, mizwale, kuti kwiza kwetu kwenu kahena kuvali ku sena intuso.
2 but we first suffered and were treated with indignity, as ye know, at Philippi; and then, in a great agony, with confidence in our God, we addressed to you the gospel of the Messiah.
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 proceeded not from deceit, nor from impurity, nor in guile:
Sina inkutazo zetu kana zi vali kuzwa mwi sheya, kamba ku ku sa chena, kamba mu vuchengeleli.
4 but as we had been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who searcheth 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 at no time have we used flattering speech; as ye know; nor a cloak of cupidity, 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 Neither have we sought glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have been chargeable as legates of the Messiah.
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 lowly among you; and like a nurse, who fondleth her children,
Ni kuva vulyo, tu vali kwina sinte mukati kenu sina mushemi o mwanakazi yo humbuliza vane.
8 so we also fondled you, and were desirous to impart to you, not the gospel of God merely, but also our own soul, because ye were dear to 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 recollect, brethren, that we labored and toiled, working with our own hands, by night and by day, that we might not be chargeable to any one of you.
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 we preached to you the gospel of God, purely, and uprightly, and were blameless towards all them 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 yourselves know, we entreated each one of you, as a father his children, and comforted your hearts:
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 and we charged you, to walk as it becometh God, who hath called you to his kingdom and his glory.
kuti mu yende cha mukwa u lukera Ireza, iye yo mi sumpa ku muvuso wakwe ni mu nkanya.
13 Therefore also we give thanks unceasingly to God, that the word of God which ye received from us, ye did not receive as the word of men, but as being truly the word of God, which worketh efficiently in you and in them 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, my brethren, became assimilated to the churches of God in Judaea, the persons who are in Jesus the Messiah; in that ye so suffered, even ye from your own countrymen, as also they from 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 the persons who slew our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and persecuted their own prophets and us; and they please not God, and are made hostile 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 and they forbid us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may have life; to fill up their sins at all times. And wrath cometh on 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, my brethren, have been bereaved of you for a short time, (in visible presence, not in our hearts, ) and have the more exerted ourselves, to behold your faces, with great affection.
Iswe, mizwale, tuva kauhenye kwenu mu nako infuhi, muvusu, insiñi munkulo. Tu va liki cha vukando vwe nciheho ku vona sifateho chako.
18 And we purposed to come to you, I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered me.
Tu va ku saka kwiza kwako, Ime, Paulusi, hamwi ni hamwi, kono Satani ava tu zimiki.
19 For what is our hope, and our joy, and the crown of our glorying; unless it be ye, before our Lord Jesus 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 our joy.
Kakuti inwe nji mwi nkanya yetu ni ntavo yetu.
