1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
Walongu maweni mwenga muvimana handa kutyangira kwetu kwa mwenga kuweriti kwa hera ndiri.
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.
Muvimana ntambu yawatuzurumiti na kutwigiranga Filipi pamberi pa kwiza kwa mwenga Tesaloniki, tembera kuweriti na usinganu uvuwa Mlungu gwetu katuyupiti ugangamala wa kuwabwelerani Shisoweru shakuwi Shiwagira.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Shitwatira sha kuhimiziya kwa mwenga, shitwatira shangali kulitumbira mbayu ama nfiru idoda, wala tufirandiri kumpayira muntu yoseri.
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.
Twenga tutakula mashaka goseri handa ntambu yakafira Mlungu toziya yomberi katuwona waheri kupananwa lihengu lya kushibwera Shisoweru ashi Shiwagira, nfiru ya twenga kuwafiriziya wantu ata shididini ira tufira kumfiriziya Mlungu kavimana myoyu ya twenga mpaka mngati.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Mana handa ntambu yamvimana, twenga tutenderiti ndiri visoweru vya kuzyangazyanga na kufifa uweni wumwawu. Mlungu ndo kapitawu.
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Tusakula ndiri kuzyumwa kulawa kwa wantu, pota kulawa kwa mwenga, pota kulawa kwa muntu yoseri
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
Tembera twenga patuwera wantumintumi wa Kristu, metuwezi kuluwa shintu kwa mwenga. Kumbiti twenga tuweriti wanonu pakati penu gambira mawu ntambu yakalera mwana gwakuwi.
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.
Tuwafiriti mwenga nentu ata tuwera kala kuwagambira Shisoweru Shiwagira hera sha Mlungu, kumbiti viraa na makaliru getu. Ntambu yamwera wantu mtufira!
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.
Waumini wayetu, nakaka mulihola ntambu yatutenditi lihengu na kugazika, tutenditi lihengu paliwala na pashiru su natwiza kuwera shisanka kwa mwenga patuwabweleriti Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Mlungu.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
Mwenga mwawakapitawu na Mlungu viraa kapitawu, mgenderanu gwetu ntambu yaguwera pakati pa mwenga yamjimira guweriti mnanagala na mkamilika kulongolu kwa Mlungu na pota kuwera na vidoda.
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Mwenga muvimana, twenga tumtendiriti kila yumu gwenu gambira tati ntambu yakawera na wananguta wakuwi.
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
Tuwatenditi muweri na moyu na kuwahimiziya su mpati kulikala makaliru ga kumfiriziya Mlungu yakawashemani mngati mwa Ufalumi na ukwisa wakuwi mweni.
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.
Na kwa toziya ayi, twenga twendereya kulonga mayagashii Mlungu kuwera mwenga pamwankiti shisoweru sha Mlungu shamshipikinira kulawa kwa twenga, mushijimiriti ndiri gambira shisoweru sha muntu kumbiti ntambu yaiwera, shisoweru sha Mlungu shashitenda lihengu mngati mwa mwenga yamjimira.
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
Mwenga walongu wayetu, mwenga muweriti mfanu gwa vipinga vya wantu vyavimjimira Mlungu yawawera Muyudeya, mu Kristu Yesu, toziya mgaziwitwi na wenikaya wayenu maweni gambira weni ntambu yawagaziwitwi na Wayawudi wayawu.
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,
Ndoweni yawamlagiti Mtuwa Yesu pamuhera na wambuyi wa Mlungu, na watutabisiyiti na wankumkalaziya Mlungu na wawalema wantu.
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.
Watujeriti kutuleweleriti twenga kuwabwelera wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi su nawalopoziwi. Mashaka goseri wawamemiziya shipimu sha vidoda vyawu. Upeleru wawu maya ga Mlungu gawatulukira.
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,
Kumbiti waumini wayetu, kulekana kwa twenga na mwenga kuweriti kwa katepu hera, kayi kulekana aku kuweriti ndiri kwa rohu kumbiti kwa nshimba hera. Shakapanu kwa shipindi shitangala ndiri, tuweriti na matamata nkulu ya kufira kuwawona kayi masu kwa masu.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
Toziya tufiriti kwiza kwa mwenga. Naneni Paulu ntenditi kayi na kayi, kumbiti Shetani katupingiriti.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Hashi, patugoloka kulongolu kwa Mtuwa Yesu shipindi pashisoka, litumbiru lya twenga ama nemeleru ama toziya ya lifupu lya kulanguziya ukanga wa twenga haliweri shishi?
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Yina, mwenga ndo mwaukwisa na nemeleru ya twenga.
