1 Thessalonians 3
1 Wherefore, when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
Mbesi nganitukombola kupililila kwakupunda, nipele, twaiweni yambone kusigalila uwe pe ku Asene.
2 And sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow-laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
Twantumile kukwenu nlongo njetu che Timoseo, jwakwatumichila Akunnungu pamo ni uwe mmasengo ga kulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito. Twantumile kukwenu kuti anlimbisye mwanya ni kuntusya ntima nkati chikulupi chenu,
3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed to it.
kuti chikulupi cha jwalijose pasikati jenu chinatinganyiche kwaligongo lya malagasyo getu ga. Mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti chitupate malagasyo go pakuŵa uli usache wa Akunnungu kulagaswa.
4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
Pakuŵa, patwaliji pamo ni ŵanyamwe twansalile chile kuti tutulagaswe, ni mpela inkuti pakumanyilila ni iyoyo yaitite pakuŵa.
5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.
Kwa ligongo lyo panalepele kwendelechela kupililila, nantumile che Timoseo kuti manyilile ngani sya chikulupi chenu. Najogwepe kuti pane jwachigongomalo jula anaiche kukunnyenga ni masengo gose gatupanganyisye kukwenu gaŵe gangali chindu.
6 But now when Timothy came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also [to see] you:
Nambo sambano che Timoseo ausile kukwetu kutyochela kukwenu, nombejo atusalile ngani sya kusengwasya sya chikulupi ni unonyelo wenu. Atusalile kuti nkutukumbuchilanga moŵa gose, ni kuti nkulajila kutuwona mpela ila nowe ŵakwe itukuti kulajila kumbona.
7 Therefore, brethren, by your faith we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress:
Kwa yeleyo achalongo achinjetu, mkusauka kwetu ni malagasyo gatukugapata tukutulaswa ntima nomwe kwa kupilikana nkati chikulupi chenu.
8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
Pakuŵa sambano tukwete umi, kwa kummona ŵanyamwe ndi chiimilile nkutama kwa kulumbikana kwenu ni Ambuje.
9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;
Sambano tukukombola kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu, malinga ni lukondwa lwatukwete paujo pao kwa ligongo lyenu.
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Muusi ni chilo tukwapopelela Akunnungu kwa kuchalila nnope kuti tukole lipesa lya kuonegana sooni kuti tumpe chachilichose chachipungwiche mu chikulupi chenu.
11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
Nipele tukwapopelela Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu atukolochesye litala lya kwika kukwenu.
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one towards another, and towards all [men], even as we [do] towards you:
Ambuje anjonjechesye ni kunchuluchisya unonyelo wa jwine ni jwine ni kwanonyela ŵandu wose mpela itukuti kunnonyela ŵanyamwe.
13 To the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
Kwayele Akunnungu anlimbisye mitima jenu ni ŵanyamwe ngamma ni chileŵo ni chimme ŵaswela paujo pa Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵetu pachauje Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu pamo ni ŵandu ŵao wose.
