2 Batesalonika 1

1 Polo, Silasi mpe Timote; Epai ya Lingomba ya bandeko ya Tesalonika, oyo ezali kati na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe kati na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto:

Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!

Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Bandeko, tosengeli tango nyonso kozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe mpo na bino. Solo, ezali malamu mpo na biso kosalaka bongo, pamba te kondima na bino ezali se kokola mpe bolingo oyo moko na moko kati na bino azali na yango mpo na moninga na ye ezali mpe kokola.

We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, because your faith increases exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all towards one another abounds;

4 Mpe kati na Mangomba ya Nzambe, tozali komikumisa na tina na molende mpe kondima na bino kati na minyoko nyonso mpe kati na pasi oyo bozali komona.

so that we ourselves make our boast in you in the assemblies of God for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations, which ye are sustaining;

5 Makambo oyo nyonso ezali kolakisa na polele ete Nzambe atalaka makambo na bosembo, mpe ete alingi kozwa bino lokola bato oyo babongi mpo na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, oyo bozali komonela pasi.

a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the sake of which ye also suffer;

6 Solo, Nzambe azali sembo: akozongisa pasi lokola etumbu epai ya banyokoli na bino;

if at least [it is a] righteous thing with God to render tribulation to those that trouble you,

7 mpe akopesa bopemi epai na biso mpe epai na bino oyo bozali komona pasi, tango Nkolo Yesu akomimonisa wuta na Likolo, elongo na ba-anjelu na Ye ya nguya,

and to you that are troubled repose with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with [the] angels of his power,

8 mpe kati na moto mpo na kopesa etumbu epai ya bato oyo bayebi Nzambe te mpe batosaka te Sango Malamu ya Yesu, Nkolo na biso.

in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who know not God, and those who do not obey the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ;

9 Bakozwa etumbu ya libebi ya seko na seko, mosika ya bozalisami ya Nkolo mpe ya nguya ya nkembo na Ye (aiōnios g166)

who shall pay the penalty [of] everlasting destruction from [the] presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 tango akoya na mokolo wana mpo na kopesamela nkembo kati na basantu na Ye, mpe lokumu kati na bandimi na Ye. Bino mpe bokozala elongo na bango, pamba te bondimaki mateya oyo toteyaki bino.

when he shall have come to be glorified in his saints, and wondered at in all that have believed, (for our testimony to you has been believed, ) in that day.

11 Yango wana tobondelaka tango nyonso Nzambe na biso mpo na bino, mpo ete akomisa bino bato oyo babongi na bomoi oyo abengaki bino mpo na yango; mpe mpo ete, na nzela ya nguya na Ye, akokisa posa na bino ya kosala bolamu to makambo nyonso oyo kondima na bino ezali kotinda bino kosala.

To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all [the] good pleasure of [his] goodness and [the] work of faith with power,

12 Tosambelaka bongo mpo ete Kombo ya Yesu, Nkolo na biso, epesamela nkembo kati na bino, mpe bino bozwa lokumu kati na Ye kolanda ngolu ya Nzambe na biso mpe ya Nkolo Yesu-Klisto.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus [Christ] may be glorified in you and ye in him, according to the grace of our God, and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
