1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you was not in vain,
Chenu inwe muvene mwizi, mizwale, kuti kwiza kwetu kwenu kahena kuvali ku sena intuso.
2 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.
Mwizi kuti ku masule tuva nyandi ni ku swavisiswa mu tuva ka chitirwa kwa Mafilipi, sina ha mwizi. Tu vavi ni vundume kwa Ireza wetu ku wamba kwenu ivangeri ya Ireza mu vukukutu vungi.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Sina inkutazo zetu kana zi vali kuzwa mwi sheya, kamba ku ku sa chena, kamba mu vuchengeleli.
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
Ka kuva vulyo, sina mu tu va zimininwa nji Ireza kuva ku sepiwa ni ivangeri, cwale tu wamba. Tu wamba, insiñi ku tavisa vantu, kono ku tavisa Ireza. Njeye yo tatuba inkulo zentu.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Kakuli kana tuva chiti nanga ihi inako ku tendisa maanzwi uvu aku shemba shemba, sina hamwizi, kamba ku uungula intakazo ya vufumu, sina Ireza i mpaki yetu.
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Kamba ku saka inkanya kuzwa ku vantu, nanga kuzwa kwenu kamba ku vamwi. Kamba ku saka ku tembwa ku vantu sina ka va Apositola va Keresite.
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
Ni kuva vulyo, tu vali kwina sinte mukati kenu sina mushemi o mwanakazi yo humbuliza vane.
8 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.
Mwe yi inzila tu vavi ni ku shiyama chenu. Tu va saki ku kuli avela nenwe insiñi feela i ivangeri ya Ireza kono hape ni vwine vuhalo vwetu. Mukuti chi mu vavi ahulu va sakahala kwetu.
9 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.
Mukuti mu zeza, Mizwale, vukukutu vwa mutendo wetu ni ku li katataza. Masiku ni musihali tuvali ku tenda kuti pona kanji tu lemezi hansi umwi kwenu. Mweyo inako, tu va kutazi kwenu ivangeri ya Ireza.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
Inwe mu mpaki, ni Ireza naye, u jolola vule, mu ku shiyama, ni kusa nyazahala tuvali santi tuvene kwenu mu zumina.
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Mu nzila i swana, mwizi vule zumwi ni zumwi wenu, sina isi ni vana vakwe, tuva mi nyamuni ni ku mi susuweza. Tuva hi vupaki
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
kuti mu yende cha mukwa u lukera Ireza, iye yo mi sumpa ku muvuso wakwe ni mu nkanya.
13 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 the word of men, but as it is in truth, God’s word, which also works in you who believe.
Che ri ivaka naswe tu litumera kwe Ireza cha ku sa siya. Mukuti hamu tambula kwetu vulumiwa vwa Ireza vu mu va zuwi, muva vu tambuli insiñi sina cha liinzwi lya vantu. Niha kuva vulyo, inwe muva a tambuli cha mu vuniti mu likalile, liinzwi lya Ireza. Nji cheli liinzwi lina ha ku tenda mukati kenu inwe mu zimina.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies 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 Jews
Chenu, mizwale, muva vi valikanyisi vwe kereke ya Ireza zina mwa Judeya mwa Keresite Jesu. Sina nenwe hape muva nyandili zi swana zintu ku vakwenu vantu ve munkanda yenu, sina mu vava chitiri ku ma Juda.
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and do not please God, and are contrary to all men,
I vali ma Juda vave hayi vonse Simwine Jesu ni vaporofita. Ivali ma Juda vava tu tandili hanze. Kava tabisi Ireza. Kono, vava nyandisi vantu vonse.
16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
Va tu kanina ku wamba ku va machava kuti avo va puluswe. Mamaninizo nji kuti inako yonse ve zulilile mu zivi zabo. Vukali vuvezi havali ku ma mani mani.
17 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,
Iswe, mizwale, tuva kauhenye kwenu mu nako infuhi, muvusu, insiñi munkulo. Tu va liki cha vukando vwe nciheho ku vona sifateho chako.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
Tu va ku saka kwiza kwako, Ime, Paulusi, hamwi ni hamwi, kono Satani ava tu zimiki.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is not it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Kanti insepo yetu nje ihi ku zi keza, kamba i ntabo, kamba inkuwani ya buikumuso mu vusu vwa Simwine wetu Jesu mu kwiza kwakwe? Kana vavali njimwena ca vungi sina nji vamwi?
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Kakuti inwe nji mwi nkanya yetu ni ntavo yetu.
