1 Avawathesalonike 2
1 Ulwakhuva umwe yumwe mloumanyile, valolukolo ukhuta ukwincha kwito khulu umwe satwinchile vavule.
For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance among you, that it was not in vain.
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.
For although we had before suffered, and were shamefully handled, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold, through our God, to speak to you the gospel of God, amidst a great combat.
3 Pakhuva indeekho njeito sanji ehumila nuvuvivi mbuliiyu ni ngofyo.
Besides, our exhortation was not from error, nor from impurity, nor with guile.
4 Nduvutwidekwiwe nu Nguluve nukwideekwi wa elivaangeli vutwita evwo. Twinchova khista khuvahovosya avaanu putukhung'ovoosya u Nguluve umwene veikhonchiwola inumbula achieto.
But as we were approved of God, to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tries our hearts.
5 Pakhuva satwanchoovele amamenyu gakhihele hele usikhigyooni nduvu muloumanyile, hata ukhunchovela amamenyu ndagavudeesi mumbunogwe, u Nguluve intangeili veitu.
For neither did we, at any time, use flattering words, or a pretext for covetousness; God is witness.
6 Khaange satwaloonile uvutonchivwa khuvaan hata ukhuhuma khuhuma khulyumwe hata khuvange. Satwale lumele ukhuluti viela ndavasuhwa avanya Kristi.
Neither sought we honor from men; neither from you, nor from others. We might have acted with authority, as Apostles of Christ;
7 Patukhava vade khedeekhe khulyuumwe nduva uiyuuva ikhuva ndesya avana vamweene. Khunchiila eiyee twale vadekhedeekhe khulyume.
but we were gentle among you, as a nurse cherishes her children--
8 Ulakhuva mviile vagaane veito. Twalevadekhe uvamponinie sayale khulivangiile ilya Nguluve iyeene puyale na mumitamile gyieto yufwe pamiho ngeinyo pakhuva mviile vagaane veitu.
so, having a strong affection for you, we were well pleased to have imparted to you, not only the gospel of God, but our own souls, also; because you were 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.
For your remember, brethren, our labor and toil; that laboring night and day; that we might not be chargeable to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
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 were witnesses, and God, also, in what a holy, and just, and blameless manner, we acted toward you that believe.
11 Vulevule yeighale ndakhikhi khulyumwe umo umo ndudaada umwaveelile khuvaana va mwene. nukhuva kasia inumbula tulikhuvaavula.
As, also, you know, how we addressed every one of you as a father his own children, exhorting and comforting you;
12 Ukhuta mukhanugile ukhugeenda nduvui nyielango yeinayo umuyeiveelile khwa Nguluve, uviavilangile khuludeeva nuvuvaacha vwamweene.
and testifying that you should walk worthy of God, who has called you to his kingdom of 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.
On this account, also, we give thanks to God, without ceasing, that when you received from us this message of God, you embraced not the word of men; but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which, indeed, works effectually 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, brethren, became imitators of the congregations of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus; because you also have suffered like things from your own countrymen, even as they have 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.
who both killed the Lord, and the prophets, and have greatly persecuted us, and do not please God, and are contrary to all men;
16 Valeikhutusiga tulekhe ukhunchoova navampanchi ukhuta vakave uvupokhi puyiekhavoonekha ukhuta vipitama ni mbivi nchaavo khuvumalilo puuluviipo iwinchile mbeene.
hindering us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved; so that they fill up their iniquities always: but the wrath of God is coming upon them at length.
17 Ufwe, valokolo, putwalekhehine numwe khuseikhe usupi, khimbili, sayale khinumbula. Twavoombile khumakha geito hange twale nuvunoogwe ukhulutileila ukhunchivoona isuula ncheinyo.
Now, we, brethren, being separated from you for a short time, in presence, not in heart, the more abundantly endeavored, with great desire, to see your face.
18 Pakhuva twanogilwe ukhwinchi khulyumwe uneene ni pavuli, ukhaseikhe ndakhaleikhu na khaseikhe akhaange, puleino usetano atusigile.
Therefore, we would have come to you (even I, Paul, ) once and again, but the adversary hindered 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? Are not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, at his coming?
20 Pakhuva umwe lwingi nehincho auluhekhelo lwito.
You, indeed, are our glory and our joy.
