1 Thessalonians 3

1 Wherefore no longer forbearing, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,

Saka zvatakange tisisagoni kutsunga, takati zvakanaka kuti tisiiwe tiri tega paAtene,

2 and did send Timotheus — our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ — to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,

ndokutuma Timotio hama yedu nemushumiri waMwari nemushandi pamwe nesu muevhangeri yaKristu, kuti akusimbisei, nekukunyaradzai maererano nerutendo rwenyu,

3 that no one be moved in these tribulations, for yourselves have known that for this we are set,

kuti kurege kuva neumwe anozununguswa nematambudziko awa, nokuti munoziva momene kuti takamisirwa izvozvi.

4 for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand, that we are about to suffer tribulation, as also it did come to pass, and ye have known [it];

Nokuti kunyange tichinemwi, takagara takuudzai kuti tava kuzotambudzwa, kunyange sezvazvakaitika, nemwi munoziva.

5 because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

Nekuda kweizvozviwo zvandakange ndisisagoni kutsunga, ndakamutuma kuti ndizive rutendo rwenyu, zvimwe pamwe muidzi wakakuidzai, basa redu rikava pasina.

6 And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also [to see] you,

Asi zvino Timotio wakati asvika kwatiri achibva kwamuri, wakatipira mashoko akanaka erutendo rwenyu nerudo, uye kuti mune murangariro wakanaka pamusoro pedu nguva dzese, muchishuva zvikuru kutiona, sesuwo imwi;

7 because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

nekuda kwezvizvi takanyaradzwa, hama, pamusoro penyu padambudziko redu rese nenhamo nerutendo rwenyu;

8 because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord;

nokuti ikozvino tinorarama, kana imwi mumire makasimba muna Ishe.

9 for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?

Nokuti kuvonga kwakadini kwatingagona kuripira kuna Mwari pamusoro penyu, nemufaro wese watinofara nawo nekuda kwenyu pamberi paMwari wedu?

10 night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith.

Siku nesikati tichinyengetera zvikurusa kuti tione chiso chenyu, tizadzise zvakataira parutendo rwenyu.

11 And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you,

Zvino dai Mwari pachake naBaba vedu, naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu aruramisira nzira yedu kwamuri;

12 and you the Lord cause to increase and to abound in the love to one another, and to all, even as we also to you,

uye dai Ishe akukurisai nekukuwanzirai rudo umwe kune umwe nekune vese, sesuwo kwamuri,

13 to the establishing your hearts blameless in sanctification before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

kuti asimbise moyo yenyu isingamhuriki pautsvene pamberi paMwari, uye Baba vedu, pakuuya kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu pamwe nevatsvene vake vese.
