2 Batesalonika 1

1 Polo, Silasi mpe Timote; Epai ya Lingomba ya bandeko ya Tesalonika, oyo ezali kati na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe kati na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto:

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the Assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!

Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Bandeko, tosengeli tango nyonso kozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe mpo na bino. Solo, ezali malamu mpo na biso kosalaka bongo, pamba te kondima na bino ezali se kokola mpe bolingo oyo moko na moko kati na bino azali na yango mpo na moninga na ye ezali mpe kokola.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

4 Mpe kati na Mangomba ya Nzambe, tozali komikumisa na tina na molende mpe kondima na bino kati na minyoko nyonso mpe kati na pasi oyo bozali komona.

So that we ourselves glory in you in the Assemblies of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

5 Makambo oyo nyonso ezali kolakisa na polele ete Nzambe atalaka makambo na bosembo, mpe ete alingi kozwa bino lokola bato oyo babongi mpo na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, oyo bozali komonela pasi.

Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

6 Solo, Nzambe azali sembo: akozongisa pasi lokola etumbu epai ya banyokoli na bino;

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 mpe akopesa bopemi epai na biso mpe epai na bino oyo bozali komona pasi, tango Nkolo Yesu akomimonisa wuta na Likolo, elongo na ba-anjelu na Ye ya nguya,

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 mpe kati na moto mpo na kopesa etumbu epai ya bato oyo bayebi Nzambe te mpe batosaka te Sango Malamu ya Yesu, Nkolo na biso.

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Bakozwa etumbu ya libebi ya seko na seko, mosika ya bozalisami ya Nkolo mpe ya nguya ya nkembo na Ye (aiōnios g166)

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (aiōnios g166)

10 tango akoya na mokolo wana mpo na kopesamela nkembo kati na basantu na Ye, mpe lokumu kati na bandimi na Ye. Bino mpe bokozala elongo na bango, pamba te bondimaki mateya oyo toteyaki bino.

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe ( because our testimony among you was believed ) in that day.

11 Yango wana tobondelaka tango nyonso Nzambe na biso mpo na bino, mpo ete akomisa bino bato oyo babongi na bomoi oyo abengaki bino mpo na yango; mpe mpo ete, na nzela ya nguya na Ye, akokisa posa na bino ya kosala bolamu to makambo nyonso oyo kondima na bino ezali kotinda bino kosala.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

12 Tosambelaka bongo mpo ete Kombo ya Yesu, Nkolo na biso, epesamela nkembo kati na bino, mpe bino bozwa lokumu kati na Ye kolanda ngolu ya Nzambe na biso mpe ya Nkolo Yesu-Klisto.

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
