1 Matesolonika 2
1 Chenu inwe muvene mwizi, mizwale, kuti kwiza kwetu kwenu kahena kuvali ku sena intuso.
For ye your selues knowe, brethren, that our entrance in vnto you was not in vaine,
2 Mwizi kuti ku masule tuva nyandi ni ku swavisiswa mu tuva ka chitirwa kwa Mafilipi, sina ha mwizi. Tu vavi ni vundume kwa Ireza wetu ku wamba kwenu ivangeri ya Ireza mu vukukutu vungi.
But euen after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated at Philippi, (as ye knowe) we were bolde in our God, to speake vnto you the Gospell of God with much striuing.
3 Sina inkutazo zetu kana zi vali kuzwa mwi sheya, kamba ku ku sa chena, kamba mu vuchengeleli.
For our exhortation was not by deceite, nor by vncleannes, nor by guile.
4 Ka kuva vulyo, sina mu tu va zimininwa nji Ireza kuva ku sepiwa ni ivangeri, cwale tu wamba. Tu wamba, insiñi ku tavisa vantu, kono ku tavisa Ireza. Njeye yo tatuba inkulo zentu.
But as we were allowed of God, that the Gospel should be committed vnto vs, so we speake, not as they that please men, but God, which approoueth our hearts.
5 Kakuli kana tuva chiti nanga ihi inako ku tendisa maanzwi uvu aku shemba shemba, sina hamwizi, kamba ku uungula intakazo ya vufumu, sina Ireza i mpaki yetu.
Neither yet did we euer vse flattering wordes, as ye knowe, nor coloured couetousnes, God is recorde.
6 Kamba ku saka inkanya kuzwa ku vantu, nanga kuzwa kwenu kamba ku vamwi. Kamba ku saka ku tembwa ku vantu sina ka va Apositola va Keresite.
Neither sought we prayse of men, neither of you, nor of others, when we might haue bene chargeable, as the Apostles of Christ.
7 Ni kuva vulyo, tu vali kwina sinte mukati kenu sina mushemi o mwanakazi yo humbuliza vane.
But we were gentle among you, euen as a nource cherisheth her children.
8 Mwe yi inzila tu vavi ni ku shiyama chenu. Tu va saki ku kuli avela nenwe insiñi feela i ivangeri ya Ireza kono hape ni vwine vuhalo vwetu. Mukuti chi mu vavi ahulu va sakahala kwetu.
Thus being affectioned toward you, our good will was to haue dealt vnto you, not the Gospel of God onely, but also our owne soules, because ye were deare vnto vs.
9 Mukuti mu zeza, Mizwale, vukukutu vwa mutendo wetu ni ku li katataza. Masiku ni musihali tuvali ku tenda kuti pona kanji tu lemezi hansi umwi kwenu. Mweyo inako, tu va kutazi kwenu ivangeri ya Ireza.
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and trauaile: for we laboured day and night, because we would not be chargeable vnto any of you, and preached vnto you the Gospel of God.
10 Inwe mu mpaki, ni Ireza naye, u jolola vule, mu ku shiyama, ni kusa nyazahala tuvali santi tuvene kwenu mu zumina.
Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and iustly, and vnblameably we behaued our selues among you that beleeue.
11 Mu nzila i swana, mwizi vule zumwi ni zumwi wenu, sina isi ni vana vakwe, tuva mi nyamuni ni ku mi susuweza. Tuva hi vupaki
As ye knowe how that we exhorted you, and comforted, and besought euery one of you (as a father his children)
12 kuti mu yende cha mukwa u lukera Ireza, iye yo mi sumpa ku muvuso wakwe ni mu nkanya.
That ye would walke worthy of God, who hath called you vnto his kingdome and glorie.
13 Che ri ivaka naswe tu litumera kwe Ireza cha ku sa siya. Mukuti hamu tambula kwetu vulumiwa vwa Ireza vu mu va zuwi, muva vu tambuli insiñi sina cha liinzwi lya vantu. Niha kuva vulyo, inwe muva a tambuli cha mu vuniti mu likalile, liinzwi lya Ireza. Nji cheli liinzwi lina ha ku tenda mukati kenu inwe mu zimina.
For this cause also thanke we God without ceasing, that when ye receiued the worde of God, which ye heard of vs, ye receiued it not as the worde of men, but as it is in deede the worde of God, which also worketh in you that beleeue.
14 Chenu, mizwale, muva vi valikanyisi vwe kereke ya Ireza zina mwa Judeya mwa Keresite Jesu. Sina nenwe hape muva nyandili zi swana zintu ku vakwenu vantu ve munkanda yenu, sina mu vava chitiri ku ma Juda.
For brethren, ye are become folowers of the Churches of God, which in Iudea are in Christ Iesus, because ye haue also suffred the same things of your owne countrey men, euen as they haue of the Iewes,
15 I vali ma Juda vave hayi vonse Simwine Jesu ni vaporofita. Ivali ma Juda vava tu tandili hanze. Kava tabisi Ireza. Kono, vava nyandisi vantu vonse.
Who both killed the Lord Iesus and their owne Prophets, and haue persecuted vs away, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men,
16 Va tu kanina ku wamba ku va machava kuti avo va puluswe. Mamaninizo nji kuti inako yonse ve zulilile mu zivi zabo. Vukali vuvezi havali ku ma mani mani.
And forbid vs to preach vnto the Gentiles, that they might be saued, to fulfill their sinnes alwayes: for the wrath of God is come on them, to the vtmost.
17 Iswe, mizwale, tuva kauhenye kwenu mu nako infuhi, muvusu, insiñi munkulo. Tu va liki cha vukando vwe nciheho ku vona sifateho chako.
For asmuch, brethren, as we were kept from you for a season, concerning sight, but not in the heart, we enforced the more to see your face with great desire.
18 Tu va ku saka kwiza kwako, Ime, Paulusi, hamwi ni hamwi, kono Satani ava tu zimiki.
Therefore we would haue come vnto you (I Paul, at least once or twise) but Satan hindered vs.
19 Kanti insepo yetu nje ihi ku zi keza, kamba i ntabo, kamba inkuwani ya buikumuso mu vusu vwa Simwine wetu Jesu mu kwiza kwakwe? Kana vavali njimwena ca vungi sina nji vamwi?
For what is our hope or ioye, or crowne of reioycing? are not euen you it in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his comming?
20 Kakuti inwe nji mwi nkanya yetu ni ntavo yetu.
Yea, ye are our glory and ioy.
