1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
Amwe bhayaa, mmenye mwemwe huje ate natahenzele hulimwe setahenzele wene.
2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
Mmenye huje ulwahwande talabhile tee nantele bhatibhombeye embibhi enzyensoni hula hufilipi, amwe mumenye. Lelo tahwikazile hwa Ngulubhi ayanje ibangili lyakwe pamoja na mayemba aminji.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Ate ensundozye tu sezyafumene nembibhi, wala muntavu wala mumwoyo ubhibhi.
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
Ate neshi ateteshe Ungulubhi na hweteshelwe mwibhangii enzyo zyatiyanga. Tiyanga siyo huje tibhasungwezyaje abantu, tihusongwezya Ungulubhi. Ungulubhi mwene yasepa amoyo getu.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Ate setayanjile enongwa enzyahwillesye hulimwene, Neshi shamumenye, wala ate setatumiye ewongwa ezyensinjizizyo zye nziliho, Ungulubhi keti wetu ate setahanzalaga utuntumu hwa bhantu,
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as emissaries of Messiah.
Wala afume hulimwe au hwabhantu abhanje. Handatibhajiedai apendelelwe huje ate tilibhatumwe bha Yesu.
7 But we were gentle amongst you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
Lelo talibhahogowe hulimwe nensi umaye shazinzya abhana bhakwe yuyo.
8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
Hu namna ewe tali niganwe hulimwe, ati tali tayari abhashikisye siyohuje ibangili lya Ngulubhe lyene lelo na maisha getu tete kwasababu mulibha mwetu.
9 For you remember, brothers, our labour and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
Amwe bhaholo muhwizuha embombo na mayemba getu. Na tabombaga embombo nu siku na pasanya aje tusahagwe melele umuntu yayonti. Uwakati uwo, tabhalumbelye ibhangililya Ngulubhe.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves towards you who believe.
Amwe mulibhaketi bha Ngulubhi, Nufinjile nantele bila ya fujinjile nantele bilaa ya muntu atilulumwe, takakhile shinza namwe mwamumweteshe uYesu.
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Shesho huje mumenye aje shiliwele shila muntu umoumo, neshi ubaba shalihina bhana bhakwe tabhapelie umwoyo na bhasubhizye na hwilolele.
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
Aje mwahanziwaga ajendelele weshi ulukwizyo lwenyu hwa Ngulubhi yabhakwizizye huumwene nu tuntumu wakwe.
13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, God’s word, which also works in you who believe.
Kwa sababu tihusalifya Ungulubhi shila wakati neshi shamwahejeleye afume hulite enongwa zya Ngulubhi mwazyejeleye siyohuje nongwa zya bantu. Mwazyejeleye huje nongwa zya bhomba embombo hulimwe mwamulyeteshe.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Messiah Yeshua; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Judeans
Eshiamwe bhaholo, mubhebhantu bhafuatizye amakanisa ga Ngulubhe gagali hwa Bhayahudi mwa Yesu Kilisti. Maana namwe mwayembele humambo kagaala afumehwa bhantu bhenyu, neshi gagali fume hwa Bhayahudi.
15 who killed both the Lord Yeshua and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,
Bhaali Bhayahudi bhabhaagojile uYesu pandwemo na aakuwe, Bhayahudi bhabhaatibhenjele tifume hwonzesebhahusungwezya Ungulubhe nantele bhabhibhi hwa bhantu bonti.
16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
Bhatizijiye huje tisahaya nje na bhantu bhasiga Bhayahudi, aje bhope bhaposhele uwokovu. Afume epo abhantu bhahwendelela ne mbibhi zyao, mpaka amakhome gabhenzela.
17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
Ate bhaholo, talehene namwe hashe shebele, siga talehene shiputi. Taabhombile hunguvu zyetu nahunziliho engosi, abhalole amaso genyu.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
Pepo tahanzaga ahwenze hulimwe, aneene Paulo, nahanzaga ahwenze lumo nu lwa mwao, lelo usetano anzigiiye.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Yeshua at his coming?
Ahwilole hwetu pamande hwaibha yeenu au nuluse shelo, au fwalo gwataivunila hwa gosi uwetu uYesu naayenza? Eshi semwemwe neshi shabhali abhaje?
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Hwa huje amwemulituntuntu wetu nuluseshelo lwetu.
