< 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, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is 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.
May grace and peace be granted to you from God our 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.
Unceasing thanks are due from us to God on your behalf, brethren. They are appropriate because your faith is growing greatly, and the love of every one of you for all the others goes on increasing.
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.
It so increases that we ourselves make honourable mention of you among the Churches of God because of your patience and faith amid all your persecutions and amid the 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.
For these are a plain token of God's righteous judgement, which has in view your being deemed worthy of admission to God's Kingdom, for the sake of which, indeed, you are sufferers.
6 Ngai nĩ wa kĩhooto: We nĩakarĩha arĩa mamũthĩĩnagia na thĩĩna,
A plain token of God's righteous judgement, I say, since it is a righteous thing for Him to requite with affliction those who are now afflicting 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 to requite with rest you who are suffering affliction now--rest with us at the re-appearing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, attended by His mighty angels.
8 Nake nĩakaherithia andũ arĩa matooĩ Ngai na matathĩkagĩra Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ.
He will come in flames of fire to take vengeance on those who have no knowledge of God, and do not obey the Good News as to Jesus, our Lord.
9 Nao nĩmakaherithio na kwanangwo kũrĩa gũtagathira, na mahingĩrĩrio nja matikoone ũthiũ wa Mwathani, o na ũnene wa hinya wake, (aiōnios )
They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, being banished from the presence of the Lord and from 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 on that day to be glorified in His people and to be wondered at among all who have believed, including you--because you believed the testimony which we brought for your acceptance.
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.
It is with this view also that we continually pray to our God for you, asking that He will count you worthy of His call, and by His mighty power fully gratify your every desire for what is truly good and make your work of faith complete;
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.
in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and that you may be glorified in Him--so wonderful is the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ!
