1 Avawathesalonike 2
1 Ulwakhuva umwe yumwe mloumanyile, valolukolo ukhuta ukwincha kwito khulu umwe satwinchile vavule.
Now you yourselves know, brothers, that our entrance to you did not happen without purpose.
2 Mloumanyile ukhuta pavutengulielo twako nvilwe khange vatuvambile inchasoni. Mlaumanyile ukhuta pavutenguleilo twakuveilwe khaange vakhatuvombela inchasoni ukhu khuvu Filipu, nduvu muloamanyile, twaale nuvukitu mwa nguluve ukhulinchoova ileivangeli lya Nguluve nabupala uvulipapingi.
Rather, in spite of having already suffered and been insulted in Philippi, as you know, we made bold in our God to speak to you the Gospel of God, in the face of strong opposition.
3 Pakhuva indeekho njeito sanji ehumila nuvuvivi mbuliiyu ni ngofyo.
Further, our exhortation does not spring from delusion or impurity, nor is it in deception,
4 Nduvutwidekwiwe nu Nguluve nukwideekwi wa elivaangeli vutwita evwo. Twinchova khista khuvahovosya avaanu putukhung'ovoosya u Nguluve umwene veikhonchiwola inumbula achieto.
but we speak precisely as those who have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Gospel, not so as to please men, but to please the God who evaluates our hearts.
5 Pakhuva satwanchoovele amamenyu gakhihele hele usikhigyooni nduvu muloumanyile, hata ukhunchovela amamenyu ndagavudeesi mumbunogwe, u Nguluve intangeili veitu.
Further, you well know that we never used words to flatter, or to disguise greed (God is witness),
6 Khaange satwaloonile uvutonchivwa khuvaan hata ukhuhuma khuhuma khulyumwe hata khuvange. Satwale lumele ukhuluti viela ndavasuhwa avanya Kristi.
or to seek glory from men (whether from you or from others)—as apostles of Christ we could have been ‘heavy’,
7 Patukhava vade khedeekhe khulyuumwe nduva uiyuuva ikhuva ndesya avana vamweene. Khunchiila eiyee twale vadekhedeekhe khulyume.
but we were gentle among you, like a nurse cherishing her own children.
8 Ulakhuva mviile vagaane veito. Twalevadekhe uvamponinie sayale khulivangiile ilya Nguluve iyeene puyale na mumitamile gyieto yufwe pamiho ngeinyo pakhuva mviile vagaane veitu.
Yearning over you in this way, we were well pleased to share with you not only the Gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become dear to us.
9 Pakhuva valoukolo mkumbukha imbomba nuvupala weito. Pakilo na pamusitulikhuvoomba imbombo ukhuta tulekhe ukhupa unchigo umunu uvi aveenchage. usikhi guyugwa, tulivakhuvahumbi leila elivangeili lya nguluve.
Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and exertion, because working night and day, so as not to burden any of you, we proclaimed the Gospel of God to you.
10 Umwe uloumanyile na yu Nguluve voope, vugoloo ju uvulindakheekhi, yelweli, khisitakhuvi peiliwa umutugendele laga yufwe pamiho ngiinyo mwimukwideekha. vuvuuwa mloumanyile tukhale ndakheekhi khu umo umo ndyumwe mwemukwideekha.
You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;
11 Vulevule yeighale ndakhikhi khulyumwe umo umo ndudaada umwaveelile khuvaana va mwene. nukhuva kasia inumbula tulikhuvaavula.
indeed, you know how we treated each one of you as a father does his own children, exhorting and comforting you,
12 Ukhuta mukhanugile ukhugeenda nduvui nyielango yeinayo umuyeiveelile khwa Nguluve, uviavilangile khuludeeva nuvuvaacha vwamweene.
insisting that you conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
13 Puleino tukhomwalesya unguluuve khange imiseikhe gyooni. Ulwakhuva mwaupile ndeilimenyueleitava lya vaanu. Umwe, mwaupile nduvueilweeli umuyiiveelile, ilimenyu lya Nguluve. Lyulimenyu lya Nguluve eili ieluli voomba embombo mundyuumwe mweimukwideekha.
Another reason we give thanks to God continually is that when you received from us the spoken Word of God, you welcomed it not as the word of men but, as it actually is, the Word of God, which is indeed operative in you who believe.
14 Puleino, valokolo, muve vaanu vakwiga imepeleela gya Nguluva gigyoo geili khuvayuuta mwa Yiisu Kristi. Pakhuva umwe leino mwakuvilwe mu mbombo nchilanchila ukhuhuma mbanu veinyo, nduvuyielevyo ukhuhuma khuvayuuta.
For you, brothers, became imitators of God's congregations in Christ Jesus, the ones in Judea, in that you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen that they did from the Jews
15 Vaale Vayuuta eena vabuudile Utwa u Yeesu paninie na vanyamalago. Vuvayuta vaavo vatusweimile tuhume khuunji. Savikhung'ovosya Unguluve khaange vaalugu khuvaanu vooni.
(the ones who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, who have persecuted us, who do not please God and are hostile to everybody,
16 Valeikhutusiga tulekhe ukhunchoova navampanchi ukhuta vakave uvupokhi puyiekhavoonekha ukhuta vipitama ni mbivi nchaavo khuvumalilo puuluviipo iwinchile mbeene.
trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved—so as to fill up the measure of their sins. They have received the full impact of the Wrath).
17 Ufwe, valokolo, putwalekhehine numwe khuseikhe usupi, khimbili, sayale khinumbula. Twavoombile khumakha geito hange twale nuvunoogwe ukhulutileila ukhunchivoona isuula ncheinyo.
Now we, brothers, having been bereaved of you for a short season (in presence, not in heart), made every effort to see your face, from intense longing.
18 Pakhuva twanogilwe ukhwinchi khulyumwe uneene ni pavuli, ukhaseikhe ndakhaleikhu na khaseikhe akhaange, puleino usetano atusigile.
(We actually tried to come to you—I, Paul, time and again—but Satan thwarted us.)
19 Puleino ukwivoona khwito kyukhiinukhikhi pongeela, nu luhekhelo, nulundinguleilo lwa iwakhwigineihincha pamiho gatwa veito u Yeesu useikhe gwa khwincha kwamwene? Puumwe samuloutilila nduvuvalevyo avange?
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Is it not precisely you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
20 Pakhuva umwe lwingi nehincho auluhekhelo lwito.
Indeed, you are our glory and our joy.
