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, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah:

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 the Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

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 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 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 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 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.

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

Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict 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 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 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.

giving vengeance to those who do not know 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 will pay the penalty: everlasting 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 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 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 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 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.

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 (the) Messiah.
