< 1 Thessalonians 3 >

1 Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
Natalije, setiweza ajimbe haui tasebheleje whalishinza asagale hula waasene tibhene.
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,
Tatumile oTimotheo, oholowetu obhomba mbombo wangolobhe widalailyeizu lya Kiristi, abhapelu. Enguvu na bhapomezye, afwatawe nolweteholwetu.
3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
Twabhombile ega afataneje asahabhe yayonti, owayete afatawaje, amayemba ega aje mwemwe mmenye aje tisaluliwe whelii.
4 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
Lyoli natalinatali pandemo namwe tatalile bhabhozye, ajetalipepe apate, amayemba Ego yafumiele nashisammanya.
5 For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
Nautele nehalije sembwezizye ajimbe, ehatumile nkemanyeaje olweteho lwenyuiaje abhajelile nahwashi. Abhajelile nembombo yetu yabhawene.
6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you.
Lelo o Timotheo ahenzele hule afume hulimwe, atiletela enongwa enyinga. Enzyewomi noluganano lwenyu, atibholeleje, mlinekombosyo. Enyiza enzyetu, naje mgeneandole nashi ate, nate tizilishe abhalole amwe.
7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
Afatane esho bhaholo tawisobhezye tee, namwe afwatawaje olweteho lwenyu, netabu namayemba getugonti.
8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
Wheshi tihwizya nkashelemwemelee shinzawagosi,
9 For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
Eshi tisombezye nsombeshi tipele, Ongolobhe hulimwe huluseshello lwonti hatilinaho: witagalila lyangolobhe pamwanya yenyu?
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Tibhalabha sana osiku napasanya aje tiwezye agolole amasogenyu nabhonjezye hahatapuohe hulweteho lwenyo.
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
Ongolobhe wetu no Baba oMwanesho, nogosi wetu oYesu atilongozye idala lyetu lyonti. tifishehulimwe.
12 May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,
Ongolobhe abhabheshe mwonjelele nameme hulugano nkamganana nabhagane abantu bhonti nashisatibhabhombela amwe.
13 to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
Naabhombe eshi agapele eguvu amoyogetu gashanombuno uwinza witagalila lya Ngolobhe wetu nashi nayensaogosi wetu oYesu pandwemo na nagolosu bhakwe bhonti.
