2 Mateselonika 1

1 Paulusi, Siluvinia ni Timoti, kwi keleke ya Matesolonika mwe Ireeza Ishwetu ni Simweni Jesu Kirisite.

Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of the Thessalonians in God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ:

2 A chishemo chive na nwe ni inkozo izwa kwe Ireeza Ishetu ni Simwine Jesu Kirisite.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.

3 Tuswanela inako yonse kuli tumela kwe Ireeza chenu, vakweetu. Ichi chintu chi swanele hande, kakuti ntumelo yenu ikula ahulu, mi ni lato mukati kenu li kwatinsene hamwina.

We are obligated to always give thanks to God about you, brothers, and properly so, because your faith is really growing, and the love of each and every one of you towards each other keeps increasing;

4 Mi iswe tuvene tu wamba cha kuli kuumusa ku amana namwe mu kati ke keleke ye Ireeza. Tu wamba cha kuva ni inkuloonde ni ntumelo mu masukuluko enu onse. Tuwamba cha ku nyanda ku mwina mu kuli.

so that we ourselves boast about you among God's congregations, referring to your steadfastness and faith in the midst of all your persecutions, and the tribulations that you are enduring

5 Ichi chi supo cha Ireeza cha ku luka kwe inkatulo. Mani mani a kuti mwiziviwe cha ku swanela kwa muvuso we Ireeza umu sukulukili.

—the above is evidence that God's judgment is right, to the end that you be considered worthy of the Kingdom of God, on behalf of which you are actually suffering;

6 Ku lukite kwe Ireeza ku vozekeza masukuluko kwavo va ku sukulula,

since to God it is right to pay back affliction to those who are afflicting you

7 mi ni ku mi lukulwila va sukulukite na swe. Kapange ichi ha ku voneka kwa Simwine Jesu ku zwa mwi wuulu ni mañiloi cha maata akwe.

and rest (along with us) to you who are being afflicted, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels in blazing fire,

8 Cha malimi a mulilo u bukuka mwa vozekeze kwa va sezi Ireeza ni kwavo va kana ku tambula ivangeli ya Simwine Jesu wetu.

inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,

9 Ka va nyande imbazi ye sinyeho ku ya kwile ku zwa ha vusu bwa Simwine mwi kanya ni maata a kwe. (aiōnios g166)

who will pay a penalty: everlasting ruin, away from the face of the Lord and from the glory of His might, (aiōnios g166)

10 Ka chite ichi ilyo zuva chini neza kuti mwelyo izuva na tebwe ni vantu vakwe mi ni ku komokiwa kwavo vonse va muzumini. Ka kuti vupaki bwetu kwenu vu va zuminwa.

whenever He comes to be glorified by His saints, yes to be marveled at by all who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed); in that Day.

11 Keli linu ivaka naswe tulapela cho kusa kosoza ka chenu. Tulapela kuti Ireeza wetu na mivone chi mu swanezi cha ku sumpiwa kwenu. Tulapela kuti mwe zu zilize zi musaka zilotu ahulu ni musevezi we ntumelo cha maata.

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling and fulfill with power every desire of usefulness and work of faith,

12 Tulapela izi zintu kuti izina lya Simwine wetu Jesu li tembwe chenu. Tulapela kuti ka mutembwe chakwe, ivaka lya chishemo che Ireeza wetu ni Simwine Jesu Kirisite.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.
