1 Bathesalonike 2
1 Kulwo kubha emwe abhene mumenyele, abhaili, ati okuja kweswe kwemwe kwaliga kutali kwa kutye- ela.
For you yourselves know, brothers, that our acceptance among you was not empty.
2 Mumenyele ati mubhwambilo chanyakile na bhachikolee kwa jinswalo elya Filipi, lwakutyo mumenyele. Chaliga chili no bhuyali mu Nyamuanga mu musango gwo bwana ogwa Nyamuanga nolwo mu nyako nyafu.
Instead, having previously suffered and been treated shamefully, as you know, at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, so as to speak the Gospel of God to you with much solicitude.
3 Kulwo kubha obhusilisha bhweswe bhutakulubhana no bhubhibhi nolwo mu bhujabhi, nolwo mubhwilige-lige.
For our exhortation was not in error, nor from impurity, nor with deception.
4 Amwi nejo, lwa kutyo chekilisibhwe na Nyamuanga no kwikilisibhwa kwo omusango gwo bhwana, nkokutyo echaikaga. Echaika, atali kulwo kubhakondelesha abhanu, mbe nawe okumukondelesha Nyamuanga. Omwenene enyele niwe unu katatilisha mu mitima jeswe.
But, just as we have been tested by God, so that the Gospel would be entrusted to us, so also did we speak, not so as to please men, but rather to please God, who tests our hearts.
5 Kulwo kubha chitatumie misango jo kwikuya mu mwanya gwona gwona, lwakutyo mumenyele, nolwo utatumie misango kuti chibheelesisho Cha inamba, Nyamuanga ni mubhambasi weswe.
And neither did we, at any time, become flattering in speech, as you know, nor did we seek an opportunity for avarice, as God is witness.
6 Nolwo chitaigile ekusho kubhanu, nolwo okusoka kwimwe amwi okusoka ku bhandi. Chakatulile okutonga no okwendibhwa kuti Jintumwa eja Kristo.
Nor did we seek the glory of men, neither from you, nor from others.
7 Chejile chamala nichibha bhololo agati yemwe uti Mai unu kasilisha abhana bhaye omwene.
And although we could have been a burden to you, as Apostles of Christ, instead we became like little ones in your midst, like a nurse cherishing her children.
8 Munjila inu chaliga chili no kwenda kwimwe. Nikwo kutyo chabhasabhile okubha amwi atali kulwo musango gwo bhwana-la ogwa Nyamuanga nawe one no bhulame bhweswe eswe abhene. Kulwo kubha mwabhee abhendwa bheswe.
So desirous were we for you that we were willing to hand over to you, not only the Gospel of God, but even our own souls. For you have become most beloved to us.
9 Kulwo kubha bhaili, omwichuka emilimu na jinyako jeswe. Mugeta na mumwisi chaliga nichikola emilimu koleleki chasiga kumtamilisha munu wona wona. Mumwanya ogwo, chabhasimuliye omusango gwo bhwana ogwa Nyamuanga.
For you remember, brothers, our hardship and weariness. We preached the Gospel of God among you, working night and day, so that we would not be burdensome to any of you.
10 Emwe muli bhabhambasi, na Nyamuanga one, ni kwo bhulengelesi-ki, mu-chimali, no kubhulwa echilwala lwakutyo chalibhataga abhene imbele yemwe bhanu omwikilisha.
You are witnesses, as is God, of how holy and just and blameless we were with you who have believed.
11 Kutyo nikwo bhili, mumenyele ati nikutiki ku bhuli umwi wemwe, lwa kutyo Lata ali ku bhana bhaye lwa kutyo chabhasimuliye no kubha simbagilisha omwoyo. Nchibhabhambalila
And you know the manner, with each one of you, like a father with his sons,
12 ati kwaliga kubheile okulibhata lwa muli okubhilikilwa kwemwe ku Nyamuanga, unu abhabhilikie mu bhukama na mwikusho lwaye.
in which we were pleading with you and consoling you, bearing witness, so that you would walk in a manner worthy of God, who has called you into his kingdom and glory.
13 Kulwa insonga eyo echimusima Nyamuanga. one bhuli mwanya. Kulwo kubha mumwanya gunu mwamulamiye okusoka kwimwe emisango ja Nyamuanga lwa kutyo mwonguywe, mwalamiye gutali kuti musango gwa abhanamunu. Mbe nawe mwalamiye chimali kutyo bhili, omusango gwa Nyamuanga. Ni musango gunuogukola emilimu agati yemwe bhanu mwikilisishe.
For this reason also, we give thanks to God without ceasing: because, when you had accepted from us the Word of the hearing of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but (as it truly is) as the Word of God, who is working in you who have believed.
14 Kulwejo emwe, Bhaili, mubhe bhanu bho kulubhilila amakanisa ga Nyamuanga ganu gali mu Bhuyaudi mu Kristo Yesu. Kulwo kubha emwe one mwanyasibhe mu misango jilya jilya okusoka ku bhanu bhemwe, lwakutyo jaliga jili okusoka ku Bhayaudi.
For you, brothers, have become imitators of the churches of God which are at Judea, in Christ Jesus. For you, too, have suffered the same things from your fellow countrymen as they have suffered from the Jews,
15 Bhaliga bhali Bhayaudi nibho bhamwitile Latabhugenyi Yesu amwi na abhalagi. Ni Bhayaudi bhanu bhachibhilimishe okubha anja. Bhatamukondelesha Nyamuanga na nibhasoko ku bhanu bhona.
who also killed both the Lord Jesus, and the Prophets, and who have persecuted us. But they do not please God, and so they are adversaries to all men.
16 Bhachiganyishe chisige okwaika na bhamaanga koleleki bhabhone okukisibhwa. Amwi nejo hi atii abhagendelela ne bhibhibhi bhyebhwe. Kubhutelo lisungu lyejile ingulu yebhwe.
They prohibit us to speak to the Gentiles, so that they may be saved, and thus do they continually add to their own sins. But the wrath of God will overtake them in the very end.
17 Eswe, Bhaili, chaliga chaukene nemwe kwo mwanya mufuyi, chimubhili, atali mu chinyamwoyo. Chakolele kwo bhutulo bheswe na mu lyenda ekulu kwo okulola obhusu bhweswe.
And we, brothers, having been deprived of you for a short time, in sight, but not in heart, have hurried all the more to see your face, with a great desire.
18 kulwo kubha chaliga nichenda okuja kwemwe, Anye Paulo, mulugendo lumwi na lugendo lundi, mbe nawe Shetani anganyishe.
For we wanted to come to you, (indeed, I, Paul, attempted to do so once, and then again, ) but Satan impeded us.
19 Kulwo kubha mu is byikilisha kweswe katungu Kandi ni chinuki amwi bhukonde, amwi lutenga lwo mwikusho imbele ya Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu mu mwanya gwo kuja kwaye? Angu kwiya kafu atali emwe lwa kutyo bhali abhandi?
For what is our hope, and our joy, and our crown of glory? Is it not you, before our Lord Jesus Christ at his return?
20 Kulwo kubha emwe mulikusho no kukondelwa kweswe.
For you are our glory and our joy.
