1 Athesalonike 2
1 Kwa mana mwenga mwabene mutangite, alongo, kuwa ujio witu kwinu ubile kwaa wa bure.
For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance to you, that it was not in vain:
2 Mutangite panga mwanzoni twatiteseka na batutenda kwa oni kolyo Filipi, kati mutangite. Tubile na ujasiri katika Nnongo longela injili ya Nnongo longela injili ya Nnongo hata katika taabu zanyansima.
But even after we had suffered before, and were shamefully treated, as ye know, at Phillippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 Kwa mana mahusia yitu yatokana kwaa na ubaya. wala katika uchafu, wala katika hila.
For our exhortation [was] not from deceit, nor from impurity, nor in guile;
4 Badala yake, kati twatiyeketilwa na Nnongo na aminiya injili, nga nyoo tulongela. Twabaya, kwa kubapuraisha kwaa bandu, lakini kumpuraisha Nnongo. Ywembe kichake nga achunguzaye mioyo yitu.
But as we were allowed by God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts.
5 Kwa mana twatumiya kwaa maneno ga kujipendekeza muda wote, kati ya mutangite, wala watimiya maneno kati kisingizio kwa tamaa, Nnongo ni shahidi witu.
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:
6 Wala tuupalike kwaa utukufu kwa bandu, wala boka kwinu au kwa benge. Twaweza kudai pandelelwa kati mitume ba Kristo.
Nor from men sought we glory, neither from you, nor [yet] from others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 Badala yake twabile apole kati yinu kati mao ywaabafairijia bana bake bene.
But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8 Kwa ndela yee tubile ni upendo kwinu. Tubile radhi kubashirikisha na injili kwaa kae ya Nnongo ila na maisha yitu mwabene. Kwa kuwa mubile apendwa witu.
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted to you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear to us.
9 Kwa kuwa alongo, mwendakombokya kazi na taabu yitu. Kilo ni mutwekati tubile twapanga kazi kusudi tuise kwaa kunlemeya yeyote. Wakati woo, twabahubiria injili ya Nnongo.
For ye remember, brethren, our labor and toil: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
10 Menga mwa mashahidi, na Nnongo kae, ni kwa utakatifu wa namna gani, haki, na lawama ntopo yatuenenda bene nnongi yinu ywa mumwaminiya.
Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily, and justly, and unblamably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 Nyo nyo nyo mutangite ni kwa namna gani kwa kila yumo winu, kati tate yaabile kwa bana bake yatubahimiza na kubatia mwoyo. Twashuhudia.
As ye know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father [doth] his children,
12 Panga mupalikwe yenda kati yaubile mwito winu kwa Nnongo, ywaabakemile mu'ufalme na utukufu bake.
That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you into his kingdom and glory.
13 Kwa sababu yoo twamshukuru Nnongo kila wakati. Kwa mana muda mupkii boka kwitu ujumbe ba Nnongo yamuyowine, muipokii kati kwaa neno lya bandu. Badala yake, muipokii kati kweli yaibile, neno lya Nnongo. Ni neno lee lya lipanga kazi kati yinu mwamuaminiya.
For this cause also we thank God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard from us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
14 Kwa nyoo mwenga, alongo, mube bandu ba kuiga makanisa ga Nnongo yabile katika Uyahudi katika Kristo Yesu. Kwa mana mwenga mutesilwe kae katika makowe yale yale kwa bandu winu, mana ibile kuwa boka kwa ayahudi.
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things from your own countrymen, even as they [have] from the Jews:
15 Babile na Ayahudi nga batiamua Ngwana Yesu pamope na manabii. Ni Ayahudi ambao batitufukuza tuboke panja. Pambendeza kwaa Nnongo na ni maadui kwa bandu boti.
Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Batitukenga tubaye kwaa na maarifa ili bapate kulopolwa. Matokeo gake ni panga batiyendelya na sambi zabembe. Mwisho ghadhabu yatiisa nnani yabe.
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 Twenga, alongo, tubile twatitengana ni mwenga kwa muda mwipi, kwa yega, katika roho kwaa. Tupanga kwa uwezo witu na kwa shauku ngolo kubona minyo yinu.
But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Kwa mana tupala kuisa, nenga Paulo, kwa mara jimo na mara yenge, lakini nchela alituzuia.
Wherefore we would have come to you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 Kwa mana kujiamini kwitu ni namani kwa baadaye, au puraha, au taji ya kuipunia nnongi ya Ngwana witu Yesu wakati wa kuisa kwake? Je mwenga kwaa zaidi kati babile benge?
For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 Kwa mana mwenga ni utukufu na puraha yitu.
For ye are our glory and joy.
