< 2 Athesalonike 1 >
1 Nĩ ithuĩ Paũlũ, na Sila, na Timotheo, Twandĩkĩra kanitha wa Athesalonike marũa maya ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Ngai Ithe witũ, o na thĩinĩ wa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ:
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Wega na thayũ irogĩa na inyuĩ ciumĩte kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, o na Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ.
Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nĩtwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũcookagĩria Ngai ngaatho hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ ũndũ wanyu, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, tondũ ũguo nĩguo kwagĩrĩire, tondũ wĩtĩkio wanyu nĩũrakũra mũno makĩria, o naguo wendani ũrĩa o mũndũ arĩ naguo harĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ũkaingĩha.
I ought always to thank God for you, brothers, as is fitting because of the abundant growth of your faith and of the overflowing love with which every one of you is filled toward one another.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩtwĩrahaga tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa makanitha ma Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa gũkirĩrĩria kwanyu, na gwĩtĩkia kwanyu mĩnyamaro-inĩ yothe na magerio marĩa mũkiragĩrĩria.
So that I myself am boasting about you among the churches of God, boasting of the stedfastness and faith which you are displaying in all the troubles and afflictions which you are enduring.
5 Maũndũ macio mothe nĩmonanagia atĩ itua rĩa Ngai rĩa ciira nĩ rĩa kĩhooto, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtuuo aagĩrĩru a gũtoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai, o ũcio mũnyariiragwo nĩ ũndũ waguo.
They are an evidence of the righteous judgment of God, who will count you worthy of his kingdom, in behalf of which you are even now suffering.
6 Ngai nĩ wa kĩhooto: We nĩakarĩha arĩa mamũthĩĩnagia na thĩĩna,
For truly God’s justice must render back trouble to those who are troubling you,
7 no inyuĩ arĩa mũtũire mũthĩĩnagio amũhe kĩhurũko, o hamwe na ithuĩ. Ũndũ ũcio nĩũkahinga hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mwathani Jesũ akaaguũranĩrio oimĩte igũrũ arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwaki ũgwakana, hamwe na araika ake arĩa marĩ hinya.
and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,
8 Nake nĩakaherithia andũ arĩa matooĩ Ngai na matathĩkagĩra Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ.
in flaming fire. Then shall he take vengeance on those who know not God, even on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9 Nao nĩmakaherithio na kwanangwo kũrĩa gũtagathira, na mahingĩrĩrio nja matikoone ũthiũ wa Mwathani, o na ũnene wa hinya wake, (aiōnios )
They shall suffer punishment, even an eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the brightness of his glorious majesty, (aiōnios )
10 mũthenya ũrĩa agooka nĩguo atũũgĩrio thĩinĩ wa andũ ake arĩa atheru, o na andũ othe arĩa mamwĩtĩkĩtie magege nĩ ũndũ wake. O na inyuĩ mũgaakorwo mũrĩ amwe ao tondũ nĩmwetĩkirie ũira witũ ũrĩa twamũheire.
when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all believers, on that Day; (for you also believed our testimony).
11 Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga tũmũhooyagĩre tũtegũtigithĩria, atĩ Ngai witũ amũtue andũ maaganĩrĩire na gwĩtwo kwanyu, ningĩ nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wake amũhingagĩrie matanya manyu mothe marĩa mega, o na wĩra o wothe ũrĩa uumanĩte na wĩtĩkio wanyu.
To this end I am making my constant prayer for you, beseeching God to make you worthy of your calling, and to fulfil mightily every desire of goodness and effort of faith;
12 Tũhooyaga ũguo nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ rĩtũũgagĩrio thĩinĩ wanyu, o na inyuĩ mũtũũgagĩrio thĩinĩ wake, kũringana na wega wa Ngai witũ na wa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ.
so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in him, according to the grace of our God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.
