1 Tessalonikawa 2
1 Kun sani,’yan’uwa, cewa ziyararmu a gare ku ba tă zama a banza ba.
For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t 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 shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
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 is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
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 by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests 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 neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of 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 claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
7 amma muka kasance masu sauƙinkai a cikinku, kamar yadda mahaifiya take lura da ƙananan’ya’yanta.
But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes 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.
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.
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 you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News 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.
You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
11 Gama kun san cewa mun bi da kowannenku yadda mahaifi yakan yi da’ya’yansa,
As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
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.
to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into 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.
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.
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 you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from 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 killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to 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 Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on 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, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
18 Gama mun so mu zo wurinku, tabbatacce ni, Bulus, na yi ƙoƙari sau da sau, amma Shaiɗan ya hana mu.
because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan 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 rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
20 Tabbatacce, ku ne ɗaukakarmu da kuma farin cikinmu.
For you are our glory and our joy.
