2 Wathesalonike 1

1 Paulo, Silwano, na Timotheo, kwa kanisa la Wathesalonike katika Mungu Baba yetu na Bwana Yesu Kristo.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Neema na iwe kwenu na amani itokayo kwa Mungu Baba yetu na kwa Bwana Yesu Kristo.

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

3 Imetupasa sisi kumshukuru Mungu siku zote kwa ajili yenu, ndugu. Maana hivi ndivyo itupasavyo, kwa kuwa imani yenu inakua sana, na upendo wenu kwa kila mtu uongezeke mwingi.

We are indebted to thank God always about you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith is increasing greatly, and the love of each one of you all toward each other abounds.

4 Hivyo sisi wenyewe tunaongea kwa fahari juu yenu katika makanisa ya Mungu. Tunazungumza habari ya saburi yenu na imani mliyo nayo katika mateso yote. Tunaongea kwa habari ya mateso mnayostahimili.

So as for us ourselves to have pride in you in the congregations of God, for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the tribulations that ye endure,

5 Hii ndiyo ishara ya hukumu ya haki ya Mungu. Matokeo ya haya ni kuwa ninyi mhesabiwe kuwa mwastahili kuuingia ufalme wa Mungu ambao kwa ajili yake mnateswa.

being evidence of the righteous judgment of God, for you to be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also ye suffer.

6 Kwa kuwa ni haki kwa Mungu kuwalipa mateso wale wawatesao ninyi,

Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you,

7 na kuwapa raha ninyi mteswao pamoja nasi. Atafanya hivi wakati wa kufunuliwa kwake Bwana Yesu kutoka mbinguni pamoja na malaika wa uweza wake.

and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power

8 Katika mwali wa moto atawalipiza kisasi wao wasiomjua Mungu na wao wasioitii injili ya Bwana wetu Yesu.

in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Watateseka kwa maangamizi ya milele wakiwa wametengwa na uwepo wa Bwana na utukufu wa nguvu zake. (aiōnios g166)

Men who will suffer punishment, a penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 Atafanya wakati atakapokuja ili kutukuzwa na watu wake na kustaajabishwa na wote walioamini. Kwa sababu ushuhuda wetu kwenu ulisadikiwa kwenu.

when he comes to be glorified in his sanctified, and to be marveled in that day by all those who believe (because our testimony among you was believed).

11 Kwa sababu hii twawaombea ninyi siku zote. Twaomba kwamba Mungu wetu awahesabu kuwa mlistahili kuitwa. Twaomba kwamba apate kutimiza kila haja ya wema na kila kazi ya imani kwa nguvu.

For which also we pray always about you, so that our God will make you worthy of the calling, and will fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power.

12 Tunaomba mambo haya ili mpate kulitukuza jina la Bwana Yesu. Tunaomba kwamba mpate kutukuzwa naye, kwa sababu ya neema ya Mungu na ya Bwana Yesu Kristo.

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 the Lord Jesus Christ.
