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 Timothy, unto the Church of the 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 our 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 always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as it is worthy, because your faith increases, and the divine love of each one of you all towards one another abounds more and more;
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 rejoice over you in the churches of God, on account of your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which you endure;
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.
the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you indeed suffer:
6 Solo, Nzambe azali sembo: akozongisa pasi lokola etumbu epai ya banyokoli na bino;
if indeed it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them who are troubling 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 who are troubled, rest with us, in 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 the fire of flame, dispensing vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus:
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 suffer vengeance, eternal destruction from the face 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 may come to be glorified among his saints, and among all those who believe, to be wondered at in that day, because our testimony was believed by you.
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.
Unto which indeed we are praying incessantly for you, in order that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness and 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.
in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
