< 2 Mateselonika 1 >
1 Paulusi, Siluvinia ni Timoti, kwi keleke ya Matesolonika mwe Ireeza Ishwetu ni Simweni Jesu Kirisite.
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 A chishemo chive na nwe ni inkozo izwa kwe Ireeza Ishetu ni Simwine Jesu Kirisite.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Tuswanela inako yonse kuli tumela kwe Ireeza chenu, vakweetu. Ichi chintu chi swanele hande, kakuti ntumelo yenu ikula ahulu, mi ni lato mukati kenu li kwatinsene hamwina.
We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;
4 Mi iswe tuvene tu wamba cha kuli kuumusa ku amana namwe mu kati ke keleke ye Ireeza. Tu wamba cha kuva ni inkuloonde ni ntumelo mu masukuluko enu onse. Tuwamba cha ku nyanda ku mwina mu kuli.
so that we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.
5 Ichi chi supo cha Ireeza cha ku luka kwe inkatulo. Mani mani a kuti mwiziviwe cha ku swanela kwa muvuso we Ireeza umu sukulukili.
This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.
6 Ku lukite kwe Ireeza ku vozekeza masukuluko kwavo va ku sukulula,
Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
7 mi ni ku mi lukulwila va sukulukite na swe. Kapange ichi ha ku voneka kwa Simwine Jesu ku zwa mwi wuulu ni mañiloi cha maata akwe.
and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
8 Cha malimi a mulilo u bukuka mwa vozekeze kwa va sezi Ireeza ni kwavo va kana ku tambula ivangeli ya Simwine Jesu wetu.
giving vengeance to those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
9 Ka va nyande imbazi ye sinyeho ku ya kwile ku zwa ha vusu bwa Simwine mwi kanya ni maata a kwe. (aiōnios )
who will pay the penalty: everlasting destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios )
10 Ka chite ichi ilyo zuva chini neza kuti mwelyo izuva na tebwe ni vantu vakwe mi ni ku komokiwa kwavo vonse va muzumini. Ka kuti vupaki bwetu kwenu vu va zuminwa.
when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
11 Keli linu ivaka naswe tulapela cho kusa kosoza ka chenu. Tulapela kuti Ireeza wetu na mivone chi mu swanezi cha ku sumpiwa kwenu. Tulapela kuti mwe zu zilize zi musaka zilotu ahulu ni musevezi we ntumelo cha maata.
To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;
12 Tulapela izi zintu kuti izina lya Simwine wetu Jesu li tembwe chenu. Tulapela kuti ka mutembwe chakwe, ivaka lya chishemo che Ireeza wetu ni Simwine Jesu Kirisite.
that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
