1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
Valongo vitu mwavene mmanyili kuvya lugendu lwitu kwinu lwavili lepi lwa waka.
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.
Mmanyili chatakitiwi mambu gahakau na kuligiwa ku Filipi kwakona hati kuhika kwinu Tesalonike. Pamonga na kuvya na unonopo wamahele, Chapanga witu atipelili ukekesi wa kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Lukumbi petavakohakisi muusadika ujumbi woha wa Chapanga, wetavakokosili huvalili lepi lijambu la udese ndi amala uhakau, mewa nakugana kumkonga mundu yoyoha.
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.
Nambu magono goha tete tilongela ngati cheigana Chapanga muni mwene patiweni tihotola, atigotolili lihengu la kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina. Tete tigana lepi kuvaganisa vandu hati padebe, nambu tigana kumganisa Chapanga ndi mwamanyili mitima yitu mbaka mugati.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Chapanga ndi mweilola na mweamanyili getijova, na nyenye mmanyili katu tete talingili lepi kuvakulukisa mewa tatumili lepi malovi ga kufiya muni tipewa vindu kuhuma kwinu.
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Tangalonda kulumbiwa na vandu, amala kuhuma kwinu, amala kuhuma kwa mundu yoyoha,
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
pamonga na tete kuvya tavamitumi va Kilisitu, ngatihotwili kujova kwa makakala tipewa chindu chochoha kuhuma kwinu. Nambu tete tavapoli pagati yinu ngati mau mpoli kwa vana vaki.
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.
Tavaganili neju nyenye ndi hati tavaletili Lilovi la Bwina la Chapanga. Na lepi Lilovi la Bwina nambu mewawa hati kuwusa wumi witu muni kuvatangatila, ndava nyenye vandu mwetivaganili neju!
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.
Valongo mkumbuka chetahengili lihengu kwa kung'ahika. Patavaletili Lilovi la Bwina la Chapanga tahengili lihengu kilu na muhi muni tikotoka kumpela mundu lihengu la kutipela mambu gegiganikiwa kwitu.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
Nyenye mugawene na Chapanga agawene kuvya ndi kuvya, chetatamili pagati yinu nyenye mwemsadika wavi wabwina, na wakumtopesa Chapanga changabuda.
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Mmanyili kuvya tete tamhengili kila mmonga winu ngati dadi chakuvahengela vana vaki mwene.
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
Tavakangamalisi mtima, tavasangalwisi na kuvakulukisa wumi weukumganisa Chapanga. Mwakuvakemela muyingila munkosi waki na ukulu waki.
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.
Kangi tivii na lijambu lingi la kumsengusa Chapanga, patavaletili ujumbi wa Chapanga, nyenye mwauyuwini, mukaupokela, lepi kujova ujumbi wa vandu, ndi ujumbi wa Chapanga, na chakaka ndi chauvi, ndava Chapanga ihenga lihengu mugati yinu nyenye mwamsadiki.
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
Valongo vangu, nyenye gavakolili mambu galagala gegavakolili msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va ku Yudea kula vevavi vandu va Chapanga, mambu gegavakolili vandu vavili vaki Kilisitu Yesu. Nyenye mung'aiswi na vakolonjinji vayinu ngati vene chevang'aiswi na Vayawudi Vayavi.
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,
Vala Vayawudi vangasadika ndi vevamkomili BAMBU Yesu na vamlota va Chapanga, vakating'aha na tete mewa. Vandu venavo nakumganisa Chapanga, kangi ndi makoko va kila mundu!
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.
Hati valingili kubesa kuvakokosela vandu vangali Vayawudi ujumbi wa kuvaletela usangula. Kwa kukita genago vayonjokisi kumbudila Chapanga na kumemesa njwe ndava ya kubuda kwevakitili magono goha. Nambu hinu ligoga la Chapanga livagwilili.
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,
Valongo, kulekana kwitu na nyenye kwavi kwa lukumbi ndu, kavili kwavili kwangawonana, nambu lepi mumaholo gitu. Lukumbi luhupi kandahi tanogili kuvalola kangi!
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
Ndi taganili kuvagendelela kavili. Na nene Pauli naganili kubwela kwinu pamahele, nambu Setani atibesili.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Wu, patiyima palongolo ya BAMBU Yesu lukumbi lweibwela, yati tikujilumba kyani kuuvala uhotola witu? Kujilumba kwitu yati kwivya nyenye ndi huvalila yitu na luheku lwitu.
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Ena, nyenye ndi mwemkita tete timekayi na kuheka!
