1 Thessalonians 3
1 Wherefore, no longer concealing our anxiety, we were well-pleased to be left in Athens, alone,
Nkekako, muchiindi netwaka tachilikukonzya, twakayeya kachili chibotu kusyala musule muAtene luzutu.
2 And sent Timothy—our brother, and God’s minister in the glad-message of the Christ—that he might confirm and console you over your faith,
Twakatuma Timoti mukwesu alimwi simulimunyina waLeza mumakani aKkilisito, kukusimya akumumbulizya katulangana alusyomo lwanu,
3 That, no one, might be shrinking back in these tribulations. For ye, yourselves, know, that, hereunto, are we appointed;
kuchitila kuti takwe uyozunganisigwa amapenzi aya. Nkaambo inywe nobeni mulizi kuti eezi nzitwakasalilwa.
4 For, even when we were with you, we told you beforehand—we are destined to suffer tribulation! even as it also came to pass, and ye know.
Kasimpe nitwakali anywebo, twaka mwambila kakuchilichindi kuti twakali twabafwifwi kunjila mumapenzi, alimwi zyakachitikan mbubonya obo, mbuli mbomuzi.
5 For this cause, I also, no longer concealing my anxiety, sent, that I might get to know your faith, lest by any means he that tempteth, should have tempted you, and, in vain, should have been our toil.
Nkambo kaako, nendaka takachilikukonzya, ndakatumina kuti ambweni ndalikunoziba zili ajulu alusyomo lwanu. Ambweni sikusunka mulimwi nzila wakamunsuka, mpawo mulimu wesu wakaba wabiyo.
6 But, when, just now, Timothy came unto us, from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, —and that ye have good remembrance of us, continually, longing to see, us, —even as, we also, to see you,
Pesi Timoti wakasika kulindiswe kazwa kulindinywe akutwetela makani mabotu aalusyomo lwaano aluyando. Waka twaambila kutimualtuyibalikwa lyoonse alimwi kuti mulayandisya kumubona aswebo.
7 For this cause, were we consoled, brethren, over you, in all our necessity and tribulation, through your faith;
Nkaambo kazeezi, nobakwesu, twaka wumbulizigwa andinywe nkaambo kalusyomo lwanu, mubuusu akupega kwesu koonse.
8 Because, now, we live, —if only, ye, stand fast in the Lord.
Nkekaako lino tulapona, naamwayima nji muMwami.
9 For what thanksgiving can we render back, unto God, concerning you, on occasion of all the joy wherewith we rejoice, for your sakes, before our God?—
Nkaambo chilumbo nzi ncetunga tulapa kuliLeza nkaambo kanu, nkaako luyando loonse ndotulalo kunembo lyaLeza wesu alube alindinywe.
10 Night and day, making very abundant entreaties, that we may see your face, and fit in the things which are lacking in your faith?
Mansiku esikati tulakombesya kuti netwakali kumubona kumeso aanu akupa ezyoo zibulikide mulusyomo lwanu.
11 Now may, our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus, make straight our way unto you:
Tukumbila kuti Leza wesu alimwi Taata lwakwe, aMwami wesu Jesu batululamikile nzila yesu iiza kulindinywe.
12 And, you, may the Lord cause to abound and excel in your love one toward another, and toward all, —even as, we, do toward you:
Akube kuti Mwami amuchite kuti muvule alimwi akumufwasusya muluyando lwawumwi amwenzinyinaakuli boonse bantu, mbubonya mbotu muchitila.
13 To the end he may confirms your hearts, faultless in holiness, before our God and Father, in the Presence of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
Akube kuti amuyumye mumoyo kuchitila kuti ibe myoyo itakwe kampenda mubusalali kunembo lyaLeza alimwi Taata wesu akuboola kwaMwami Jesu antomwe abasalali bakwe boonse.
