1 Matesolonika 3
1 Chi kwina vulyo, ha tusa si woli ku i vika, tu va zezi kuti ku vena sinte ku siiwa mwisule lya Athens twenke.
Wherefore since we could no longer forbare, wee thought it good to remaine at Athens alone,
2 Tuva tumini Timoteya, muzwale wetu ni mukwetu kwa Ireza ni mwi ivangeri ya Keresite, ku mi kuza niku mi omba omba ku amana ni intumero.
And haue sent Timotheus our brother and minister of God, and our labour felow in the Gospel of Christ, to stablish you, and to comfort you touching your faith,
3 Tuva citi izi kuti kakwina yete a nyanganyiswe cha a masukuluko. Mu kuti inwe muvene mwizi kuti chezi tu ba vikwa ha mutendo.
That no man should be moued with these afflictions: for ye your selues knowe, that we are appointed thereunto.
4 Cheniti, hatu vena nenwe, tuva mi rwiri piri kuti seke nitu lwale ku lyangana, mi chi va chitahali, sina ha mwizi.
For verily when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulations, euen as it came to passe, and ye knowe it.
5 Cheri ivaka, hani sana niva kusi wola ku zi zimanina, ni va tumini kuti ni zibe ku amana ni ntumero. Mwendi hamwi muliki cava liki kuku lika, mi masukuluko etu avavi a mahala.
Euen for this cause, when I could no longer forbeare, I sent him that I might knowe of your faith, lest the tempter had tempted you in any sort, and that our labour had bene in vaine.
6 Kono Timoteya ceza kwetu kuzwa kwenu ni tu letera manzwi malotu e ntumero ni rato. Na tu rwira kuti inwe hañata mwina minahano mi lotu yetu, ni kuti mu virera ku tu vona sina neswe mutu vilaerera ku mi vona.
But now lately when Timotheus came from you vnto vs, and brought vs good tidings of your faith and loue, and that ye haue good remembrance of vs alwayes, desiring to see vs, as we also do you,
7 Keli ivaka, mizwale, tu va ombiwa ombiwa kwenu ke ntumero yenu, mu zonse vukavo ni ku lyangana.
Therefore, brethren, we had consolation in you, in all our affliction and necessitie through your faith.
8 Cwale hanu tu hala, hamu zimana cha ku kola mwa Simwine.
For nowe are wee aliue, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
9 Mukuti vuitumero nzi vutu wola kuha kwa Ireza chenu, cha yonse ntavo itwina nayo kwa Ireza wetu ka henu?
For what thankes can wee recompense to God againe for you, for all the ioy wherewith we reioyce for your sakes before our God,
10 Masiku ni mushali tu lapera ahulu kuti mwendi mutu vone chifateho chako ni ku ha chintu chi swanela mu ntumero yenu.
Night and day, praying exceedingly that wee might see your face, and might accomplish that which is lacking in your faith?
11 Ireza ni Ishetu iye mwine, ni Simwine Jesu, a namalaze inzila yetu kwenu.
Nowe God himselfe, euen our Father, and our Lord Iesus Christ, guide our iourney vnto you,
12 Simwine a mi pange ku ekeza ni ku mi kopanya mwi rato zumwi cha zumwi ni ku vonse vantu, sina mu tu pangila kwenu.
And the Lord increase you, and make you abound in loue one toward another, and towarde all men, euen as we doe toward you:
13 A pange ku koza inkulo zenu kusa nyazahala mu ku chena havusu bwa Ireza ni Ishetu ha kwiza kwa Simwine Jesu ni vonse vakwe va jolola.
To make your hearts stable and vnblameable in holines before God euen our Father, at the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ with all his Saints.
