1 Bathesalonike 3

1 Kulwejo, anu chaliga chitakutula kwigumilisha kwona, cheganilisishe ati jakabhee je kisi okusoka eliya Athene eswe chenyele.

Wherefore, when we could no longer forbear, we chose to be left at Athens alone,

2 Chamutumile Timoteo, omuili weswe no omukosi wa Nyamuanga mu musango gwo bhwana ogwa Kristo, okubhakomesha no kubhasilisha okulubhana ne likilisha lyemwe.

and sent Timothy, our brother and a fellow-laborer with God in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to encourage you in your faith,

3 Chakolele ganu koleleki asiga kubhao munu wona wona owo kutashatasha na jinyako jinu. Kulwo kubha abhene bhamenyele ati chamalile okusolwa ingulu ya linu.

so that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for yourselves know that to this we are appointed;

4 Ni chimali, mu mwanya gunu chaliga chili amwi nemwe, chelabhile okubhelesha ati chaliga chili ayei okubha jinyako, na ganu gwabhonekene lwa kutyo mumenyele.

for even when we were with you, we told you before that we are to suffer affliction, just as it came to pass, and ye know.

5 Ku nsonga inu anu naliga nitakutula kwigumilisha lindi, natumile koleleki nibhone okumenya ingulu ye likilisha lyemwe. Amwi lugendo omulegeja aliga abhalegejishe, ne milimu jeswe ejibha ja kutye-ela.

For this cause, when I too could no longer forbear, I sent in order to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor should prove in vain.

6 Mbe nawe Timoteo ejile kweswe nasokelela kwemwe mbe nachiletela omusango gwo bhwana ingulu ye likilisha no kwenda kwemwe. Achibhwiliye ati muno bhwichukisho bhwe kisi ingulu yeswe, na ati mwendele okuchilola lwa kutyo eswe one chendele okubhalolako emwe.

But when Timothy just now came to us from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you;

7 Kulwa insonga inu, abhaili chasilikile muno nemwe ku nsonga ye likilisha lyemwe, mu nyako no kunyasibwa kweswe kwona.

for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction by your faith;

8 Kwa woli chilamile, mukasimbagilila ku Latabhugenyi,

for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

9 ni simeki eyo kumuyana Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe, mukukondelwa kwone ganu chilinago imbele ya Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe?

For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

10 Echisabhwa muno mugeta na mumwisi koleleki chibhulole obhusu bhwemwe no kubhongelesishako chinu chibhakeyeleko mulikilisha lyemwe.

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may supply that which is lacking in your faith?

11 Nyamuanga weswe na Lata omwenene, na Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu achitangashe mu njila jeswe chibhakingeko.

Now God himself, our Father, and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you;

12 Na Latabhugenyi abhakole no kubhongelesishako elyenda, mukwendana no kubhenda abhanu bhona, lwa kutyo echibhakolela emwe.

and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all, even as we do in love toward you;

13 Na akole kutya koleleki asimbishega emyoyo jemwe jisige kubha na masolo mu bhulengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga weswe na Lata weswe mu kuja kwa Latabhugenyi Yesu amwi na Bhelu bhaye bhona.

in order that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.
