1 Thessalonians 3
1 So when we could endure it no longer, we decided to remain behind in Athens alone;
Kwa eyu, patayele tibhuesya lepi kuvumilila zaidi, lafikilili kuwa yayele syana kubakila khola Athene tete tayhoto.
2 and sent Timothy our brother and God's minister in the service of Christ's Good News, that he might help you spiritually and encourage you in your faith;
Twamtumili Timotheo ndhongo bhitu na n'tumishi wa K'yara ku injili ya Kristu, kubhaimalisha ni kabhafaliji kuhusiana ni imani ya yhomo.
3 that none of you might be unnerved by your present trials: for you yourselves know that they are our appointed lot.
Twaketilli agha ili kusudi akotokuya yuoayhola wa kuteteleka kup'etela mateso agha, kwa ndabha mwayhomo mmanyili kuwa tumalili teulibhwa kwajia ya ele.
4 For even when we were with you, we forewarned you, saying, "We are soon to suffer affliction;" and this actually happened, as you well know.
Kwa kueli, muda watayele pamonga ni namu, twalondili kubhajobhela ya kuwa twayele papipi kukabha mateso, na agha ghahomili kama kammanyili.
5 For this reason I also, when I could no longer endure the uncertainty, sent to know the condition of your faith, lest perchance the Tempter might have tempted you and our labour have been lost.
Kwa ndabha eye, paniyele ni bhuesya lepi kuvumilila kabhele natumili kusudi ni kabhaa kumanya juu ya imani ya yhomo. Bhuenda mjalibu ayele abha jalibu, ni mbhombho yhitu yibhuesya kuya bure.
6 But now that Timothy has recently come back to us from you, and has brought us the happy tidings of your faith and love, and has told us how you still cherish a constant and affectionate recollection of us, and are longing to see us as we also long to see you--
Lakini Timotheo ahidili kwa tete kuhomela kwa muenga na atuletili malobhi mema juu ya imani ni upendo bhuinu. Atujobhili ya ndabha mwitamani kutubhona na kama katuyete tee titamani kubhabhona muenga.
7 for this reason in our distress and trouble we have been comforted about you, brethren, by your faith.
Kwa ndabha eye, ndongo twafalijiki sana ni muenga kwa ndabha ya imani ya yhomo, ki tabu ni mateso ghitu ghoa.
8 For now life is for us life indeed, since you are standing fast in the Lord.
Kwa henu tiishi, kama mkayemai ngangali kwa Bwana.
9 For what thanksgiving on your behalf can we possibly offer to God in return for all the joy which fills our souls before our God for you,
Kwani shukrani seleku tumpelai K'yara kwajia yhoto, kwa furaha syoa twatuje nasu palongolo pa K'yara juu ya yhoto?
10 while night and day, with intense earnestness, we pray that we may see your faces, and may bring to perfection whatever may be still lacking in your faith?
Twisoma sana pakilu ni pamusi ili tubhwesyai kujibhona pamiu pa yhoto ni kubhayongesela kakipongoka mu imani ya yhomo.
11 But may our God and Father Himself--and our Lord Jesus--guide us on our way to you;
K'yara wa yhoto na ni Dadi muene, ni Bwana was yhoto Yesu atuyongeselai njela ya yhoto ya kufika kwa yhomo.
12 and as for you, may the Lord teach you to love one another and all men, with a growing and a glowing love, resembling our love for you.
Ni Bwana afwanyai muyongesekai ni kuzidi kup'etela lipendo, mkagananai ni kubhagana bhanu bhoa, Kama katukabha ketela muenga.
13 Thus He will build up your characters, so that you will be faultlessly holy in the presence of our God and Father at the Coming of our Lord Jesus with all His holy ones.
Na afwanyai naa ili aimalishai miteema yhinu iyelai bila lawama mu utakatifu palongolo pa K'yara wa yhoto na ni Dadi wa yhoto ku ujio wa Bwana Yesu pamonga ni bhatakatifu bhake bhoa.
