2 Wathesalonike 1

1 Paulo, Silvano na Timotheo: Kwa kanisa la Wathesalonike mlio katika Mungu Baba yetu na Bwana Yesu Kristo:

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

2 Neema na amani itokayo kwa Mungu Baba na Bwana Yesu Kristo iwe nanyi.

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

3 Ndugu, imetubidi kumshukuru Mungu kwa ajili yenu siku zote, kama ulivyo wajibu wetu, kwa sababu imani yenu inakua zaidi na zaidi na upendo wa kila mmoja wenu alio nao kwa mwenzake unazidi kuongezeka.

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 Ndiyo sababu miongoni mwa makanisa ya Mungu, tunajivuna kuhusu saburi yenu na imani mliyo nayo katika mateso yote na dhiki mnazostahimili.

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 Haya yote ni uthibitisho kwamba hukumu ya Mungu ni ya haki, na kwa sababu hiyo ninyi mtahesabiwa kwamba mnastahili kuwa wa Ufalme wa Mungu, mnaoteswa kwa ajili wake.

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 Mungu ni mwenye haki: yeye atawalipa mateso wale wawatesao ninyi

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

7 na kuwapa ninyi mnaoteseka raha pamoja na sisi, wakati Bwana Yesu atakapodhihirishwa kutoka mbinguni katika mwali wa moto pamoja na malaika wake wenye nguvu.

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

8 Atawaadhibu wale wasiomjua Mungu na ambao hawakuitii Injili ya Bwana wetu Yesu.

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

9 Wataadhibiwa kwa uangamivu wa milele na kutengwa na uso wa Bwana na utukufu wa uweza wake, (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 siku hiyo atakapokuja kutukuzwa katika watakatifu wake na kustaajabiwa miongoni mwa wote walioamini. Ninyi pia mtakuwa miongoni mwa hawa kwa sababu mliamini ushuhuda wetu kwenu.

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 Kwa sababu hii, tunawaombea ninyi bila kukoma, ili Mungu apate kuwahesabu kuwa mnastahili wito wake na kwamba kwa uwezo wake apate kutimiza kila kusudi lenu jema na kila tendo linaloongozwa na imani yenu.

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 Tunaomba hivi ili Jina la Bwana wetu Yesu lipate kutukuzwa ndani yenu, nanyi ndani yake, kulingana na neema ya Mungu wetu na Bwana Yesu Kristo.

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.
