2 Thessalonians 1

1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me. We are sending this letter] to [you]. You are the congregation [of God’s people] in Thessalonica [city]. You belong to God our Father, and you belong to Jesus Christ our Lord.

Polo, Sila ayi Timote bafidisidi nkanda kuidi dibundu di basi Tesalonika, mu Nzambi, dise dieto ayi mu Pfumu Yesu Klisto.

2 [We pray that] God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord, [will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to cause you to have inner] peace.

Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bi Nzambi dise dieto ayi bi Pfumu Yesu Klisto bibanga yeno.

3 [Our] fellow believers, we thank God very frequently [HYP] for you because we believers ought [to thank God for each other, and] specifically it is appropriate/right [that we should thank God for you. We thank him] that you are trusting in [the Lord Jesus] more and more, and that each one of you is loving [each of] the others more and more.

Zikhomba, tufueti vutudilanga Nzambi matondo mu zithangu ziosomu diambu dieno bila buawu bobo bufueni bila minu kieno kilembo kudi buwombo ayi luzolo lueno, lolo luidi mu beno na beno, lueka luwombo.

4 As a result, we keep proudly telling about you to [other] congregations who [worship] God. [Specifically, we tell them] that you are being steadfast and that you [continue] believing [in the Lord Jesus], even though you are frequently suffering [DOU] as a result of people causing you trouble.

Diawu beto mamveto tulembo kukiniemisa mu diambu dieno mu mabundu ma Nzambi mu diambu di mvibudulu eno ayi mu diambu di minu kieno mu zinzomono zioso ayi mu ziphasi zioso lulembo moni.

5 [Your being steadfast] (shows/indicates to) [us] clearly that God will judge [all people] justly. [Specifically, he] will publicly declare that you are worthy [as his people to be in] that place where he will rule [forever, because] you also are suffering as a result of [telling others about letting] God rule your lives.

Vayi ziawu zidi dimbu kimmonisa ti nzenzolo yi Nzambi yidi yisonga muingi lumonika batu bafuana mu diambu di Kipfumu ki Nzambi kioki lulembo monina ziphasi.

6 [God will certainly cause trouble for] those people who are troubling you, because he [considers] that it is just that he should punish such people for doing that to you.

Bila didi diambu disonga kuidi Nzambi mu vutudila ziphasi kuidibatu balembo lumonisa ziphasi;

7 He also [considers] that it is the right thing to do to reward you who are being troubled, by (giving you relief/causing your suffering to end). He will do that for both you and us when our Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, together with his powerful angels and with blazing fire.

ayi kuluvana beno, lummona ziphasi luvundulu va kimosi ayi beto. Mu thangu Pfumu Yesu kela monika mu diyilu va kimosi ayi zimbasi zi lulendo luandi;

8 [Then he will] punish those people who do not [want to] know him and [those] who refuse to heed the message about our Lord Jesus.

ayi mu nlaki wu mbazu bu kela vana thumbudulu kuidi bawu bakambulu zaba Nzambi ayi kuidi bobo bamanga tumukinanga Nsamu wumbote wu Pfumuꞌeto Yesu Klisto.

9 [Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)

Bawu bela tambula thumbudulu yi mbivusu yikayimani va ntuala Pfumu ayi va ntuala nkembo wu zingolo ziandi ko (aiōnios g166)

10 [The Lord Jesus] will do this when he comes [back from heaven] at the time [that God has decided]. As a result, all we who are his people will praise him because of [what he has done for his own] people, and all we believers will marvel at our Lord because of [what he has done. And you will be there, too], because you believed what we testified to you.

bu kela kuiza mu lumbu beni mu kemboso kuidi banlongo bandi ayi mu kikununu kuidi batu boso bobo bawilukila bila kimbangi kietokiwilukulu kuidi beno.

11 In order that you might [praise Jesus like this], we are also praying very frequently [HYP] for you. We pray that [you will be able to show] our God that you are worthy [to receive] that which he chose [you to receive]. We pray also that he would powerfully enable you to do good in every way that you desire, and that he would also enable you to do powerfully every [good] thing [that you do because] you believe [in Jesus Christ].

Diawu diodi tunsambilanga Nzambi eto u diambu dieno mu zithangu zioso muingi Nzambi eto kalumona bafuana mu lutelo lolo kalutedilaayi muingi kadukisa zitsatu, mu lulendo, luzolo lu mambote mandi ayi dukisa kisalu ki minu;

12 [We pray this because we want] you to praise our Lord Jesus, and we want him to honor you. This will happen because God, whom we [worship/serve], and our Lord Jesus Christ will keep acting kindly [toward you] in ways that you do not deserve.

mu diambu di dizina di Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto dikemboso mu beno ayi beno mu niandi boso buididi nlemvo wu Nzambi ayi wu Pfumu Yesu Klisto.
