1 Abhathesalonike 2
1 Amwe bhayaa, mmenye mwemwe huje ate natahenzele hulimwe setahenzele wene.
For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you was not in vain,
2 Mmenye huje ulwahwande talabhile tee nantele bhatibhombeye embibhi enzyensoni hula hufilipi, amwe mumenye. Lelo tahwikazile hwa Ngulubhi ayanje ibangili lyakwe pamoja na mayemba aminji.
but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
3 Ate ensundozye tu sezyafumene nembibhi, wala muntavu wala mumwoyo ubhibhi.
For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
4 Ate neshi ateteshe Ungulubhi na hweteshelwe mwibhangii enzyo zyatiyanga. Tiyanga siyo huje tibhasungwezyaje abantu, tihusongwezya Ungulubhi. Ungulubhi mwene yasepa amoyo getu.
But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing people, but God, who tests our hearts.
5 Ate setayanjile enongwa enzyahwillesye hulimwene, Neshi shamumenye, wala ate setatumiye ewongwa ezyensinjizizyo zye nziliho, Ungulubhi keti wetu ate setahanzalaga utuntumu hwa bhantu,
For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed (God is witness),
6 Wala afume hulimwe au hwabhantu abhanje. Handatibhajiedai apendelelwe huje ate tilibhatumwe bha Yesu.
nor seeking glory from people (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
7 Lelo talibhahogowe hulimwe nensi umaye shazinzya abhana bhakwe yuyo.
But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
8 Hu namna ewe tali niganwe hulimwe, ati tali tayari abhashikisye siyohuje ibangili lya Ngulubhe lyene lelo na maisha getu tete kwasababu mulibha mwetu.
Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
9 Amwe bhaholo muhwizuha embombo na mayemba getu. Na tabombaga embombo nu siku na pasanya aje tusahagwe melele umuntu yayonti. Uwakati uwo, tabhalumbelye ibhangililya Ngulubhe.
For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
10 Amwe mulibhaketi bha Ngulubhi, Nufinjile nantele bila ya fujinjile nantele bilaa ya muntu atilulumwe, takakhile shinza namwe mwamumweteshe uYesu.
You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
11 Shesho huje mumenye aje shiliwele shila muntu umoumo, neshi ubaba shalihina bhana bhakwe tabhapelie umwoyo na bhasubhizye na hwilolele.
As you know, as a father with his own children,
12 Aje mwahanziwaga ajendelele weshi ulukwizyo lwenyu hwa Ngulubhi yabhakwizizye huumwene nu tuntumu wakwe.
we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you to lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
13 Kwa sababu tihusalifya Ungulubhi shila wakati neshi shamwahejeleye afume hulite enongwa zya Ngulubhi mwazyejeleye siyohuje nongwa zya bantu. Mwazyejeleye huje nongwa zya bhomba embombo hulimwe mwamulyeteshe.
For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as a human word, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
14 Eshiamwe bhaholo, mubhebhantu bhafuatizye amakanisa ga Ngulubhe gagali hwa Bhayahudi mwa Yesu Kilisti. Maana namwe mwayembele humambo kagaala afumehwa bhantu bhenyu, neshi gagali fume hwa Bhayahudi.
For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Judeans;
15 Bhaali Bhayahudi bhabhaagojile uYesu pandwemo na aakuwe, Bhayahudi bhabhaatibhenjele tifume hwonzesebhahusungwezya Ungulubhe nantele bhabhibhi hwa bhantu bonti.
who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and did not please God, and are hostile to all people;
16 Bhatizijiye huje tisahaya nje na bhantu bhasiga Bhayahudi, aje bhope bhaposhele uwokovu. Afume epo abhantu bhahwendelela ne mbibhi zyao, mpaka amakhome gabhenzela.
forbidding us to speak to those who are not Jewish that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
17 Ate bhaholo, talehene namwe hashe shebele, siga talehene shiputi. Taabhombile hunguvu zyetu nahunziliho engosi, abhalole amaso genyu.
But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
18 Pepo tahanzaga ahwenze hulimwe, aneene Paulo, nahanzaga ahwenze lumo nu lwa mwao, lelo usetano anzigiiye.
because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
19 Ahwilole hwetu pamande hwaibha yeenu au nuluse shelo, au fwalo gwataivunila hwa gosi uwetu uYesu naayenza? Eshi semwemwe neshi shabhali abhaje?
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
20 Hwa huje amwemulituntuntu wetu nuluseshelo lwetu.
For you are our glory and our joy.
