1 Tessalonikawa 2
1 Kun sani,’yan’uwa, cewa ziyararmu a gare ku ba tă zama a banza ba.
For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which [we had] to you, that it has not been in vain;
2 Mun riga mun sha wahala, aka kuma zage mu a Filibbi, kamar yadda kuka sani, amma da taimakon Allahnmu muka yi ƙarfin hali muka sanar muku bishararsa duk da matsananciyar gāba.
but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.
3 Gama roƙon da muke yi bai fito daga kuskure ko munafunci ba, ba kuwa ƙoƙari muke yi mu yaudare ku ba.
For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
4 A maimako haka, muna magana ne kamar mutanen da Allah ya amince yă danƙa musu amanar wannan bishara. Ba ma ƙoƙari mu gamshi mutane sai dai Allah, mai auna zukatanmu.
but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.
5 Kun san ba ma taɓa yin daɗin baki ko mu yi ƙoƙarin kasance da halin kwaɗayin da muke ɓoyewa, Allah shi ne shaidarmu.
For we have not at any time been [among you] with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God [is] witness;
6 Ba ma neman yabo daga wurin mutane, ko a gare ku, ko ga waɗansu. A matsayinmu na manzannin Kiristi da mun so, da mun nawaita muku,
nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
7 amma muka kasance masu sauƙinkai a cikinku, kamar yadda mahaifiya take lura da ƙananan’ya’yanta.
but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
8 Muka ƙaunace ku ƙwarai har muka ji daɗin bayyana muku, ba bisharar Allah kaɗai ba amma har rayukanmu ma, domin kun zama ƙaunatattu a gare mu.
Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.
9 Ba shakka kuna iya tunawa,’yan’uwa, famarmu da kuma wahalarmu; mun yi aiki dare da rana don kada mu zama nauyi wa wani yayinda muke muku wa’azin bisharar Allah.
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.
10 Ku shaidu ne, haka ma Allah, na yadda muka yi zaman tsarki, adalci da kuma marar aibi a cikinku, ku da kuka ba da gaskiya.
Ye [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:
11 Gama kun san cewa mun bi da kowannenku yadda mahaifi yakan yi da’ya’yansa,
as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,
12 muna ƙarfafa ku, muna ta’azantar da ku, muna kuma gargaɗe ku ku yi rayuwar da za tă cancanci Allah, wanda ya kira ku zuwa mulkinsa da kuma ɗaukakarsa.
that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
13 Muna kuma gode wa Allah ba fasawa domin, sa’ad da kuka karɓi maganar Allah, wadda kuka ji daga gare mu, kun karɓe ta ba kamar maganar mutane ba, sai dai kamar yadda take, maganar Allah wadda take aiki a cikinku ku da kuka ba da gaskiya.
And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received [the] word of [the] report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe.
14 Gama ku,’yan’uwa, kun zama masu koyi da ikkilisiyoyin Allah a Yahudiya waɗanda suke cikin Kiristi Yesu. Kun sha wahala a hannun mutanen ƙasarku kamar yadda ikkilisiyoyin nan ma suka sha a hannun Yahudawa,
For ye, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also they of the Jews,
15 waɗanda suka kashe Ubangiji Yesu da annabawa suka kuma kore mu. Ba sa yin aikin da Allah yake so, masu gāba ne kuwa da dukan mutane
who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and [are] against all men,
16 suna ƙoƙarin hana mu yin magana ga Al’ummai don kada su sami ceto. Ta haka kullum suke ƙara tara tsibin zunubansu. Fushin Allah ya aukar musu a ƙarshe.
forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
17 Amma,’yan’uwa, sa’ad da aka raba mu da ku na ɗan lokaci (a jiki, ba a tunani ba), daga cikin marmarinmu mai tsanani mun yi duk abin da muke iya yi mu gan ku.
But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;
18 Gama mun so mu zo wurinku, tabbatacce ni, Bulus, na yi ƙoƙari sau da sau, amma Shaiɗan ya hana mu.
wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
19 Gama mene ne begenmu, farin cikinmu, ko kuma rawanin da zai zama mana abin ɗaukaka a gaban Ubangijinmu Yesu sa’ad da ya dawo? Ba ku ba ne?
For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not ye also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
20 Tabbatacce, ku ne ɗaukakarmu da kuma farin cikinmu.
for ye are our glory and joy.
