Umsebenti waPawula eThesalonika
1 Bazalwane, nani ngekwenu niyati kutsi kunivakashela kwetfu akuzange kube lite. 2 Kodvwa nome sase sihlushiwe satselwa ngelihlazo eFiliphi, njengobe nani nati, saba nesibindzi kuNkulunkulu wetfu kutsi sishumayele kini liVangeli laNkulunkulu sibhekene nebulukhuni lobukhulu. 3 Ngobe kushumayela kwetfu akusiko kwekuduka, nekwekungcola, nekwebucili. 4 Kodvwa njengaloku sivunyiwe nguNkulunkulu kutsi siphatsiswe liVangeli, asikhulumeli kujabulisa bantfu, kodvwa sikhulumela kujabulisa Nkulunkulu lohlola tinhlitiyo tetfu. 5 Tsine asizange sikhulume emagama ekuyenga, njengobe nani nati, asizange futsi sibe nebucili bekufisa bunjinga, Nkulunkulu ungufakazi. 6 Asizange sesilufune ludvumo kubantfu, ngisho nakini imbala. 7 Noko, njengebaphostoli baKhristu, sasinalo lilungelo lekusebentisa bukhulu betfu, kodvwa saba mnene kini njengemfati anakekela bantfwabakhe. 8 Ngenca yelutsandvo lwetfu kini satimisela kutsi sihlephunelane nani, hhayi liVangeli kuphela kodvwa nemphilo yetfu lucobo, ngobe natsandzeka kakhulu kitsi.
9 Bazalwane, ngiyetsemba kutsi niyayikhumbula imisebenti nemisiphalato yetfu sisebenta emkhatsini wenu busuku nemini sentela kutsi singasindzi ngisho namunye wenu ngesikhatsi sisashumayela kini liVangeli laNkulunkulu. 10Nine naNkulunkulu nibofakazi betfu bekutsi indlela lesasitiphetse ngayo emkhatsini wenu nine labakholwako yayingcwele, ilungile ingenasici. 11 Niyati nekutsi saniphatsa njani; saniphatsa njengendvodza iphetse bantfwabayo, 12 sanidvudvuta ngamunye ngamunye sinikhutsata, siniyala ngekutsi nihambe ngalokufanelekile kuNkulunkulu, lonibitela embusweni wakhe nasebukhosini bakhe.
13 Ngako-ke sibonga Nkulunkulu singakhawuli ngekutsi natsi nanemukela livi laNkulunkulu lenaliva kitsi, nalemukela, hhayi njengelivi lemuntfu nje kodvwa njengobe linjalo lilivi laNkulunkulu lelisebenta kini nine lenikholwako. 14 Bazalwane, nani naba balingisi bemabandla aNkulunkulu aseJudiya lakuKhristu Jesu; ngobe nani nehlelwa kuhlupheka kunye ngekuhlushwa bantfu bakini, njengobe nebantfu balawo mabandla bahlushwa ngemaJuda. 15 LamaJuda ngiwo kanye lawo labulala iNkhosi Jesu kanye nebaphrofethi, natsi asicitsa, ayekela kwenta intsandvo yaNkulunkulu, aphambana nebantfu bonkhe. 16 Adzimate asivimbela nekutsi sishumayele insindziso kubetive. Ngaloko-ke imihla nemalanga atengetela tono. Kodvwa ekugcineni lulaka lwaNkulunkulu seluze lwabehlela.

17 Bazalwane, njengobe besesitintsandzane kwesikhashana ngekwehlukana nani buso nebuso, hhayi enhlitiyweni, besetama ngekushisekela lokukhulu kuphindze sibonane nani, buso nebuso. 18Besifisa kuta kini, mine Pawula kukanyenti, kodvwa Sathane wasivimbela. 19 Empeleni liyini litsemba letfu, nome injabulo, nome umchele wemsebenti wetfu lesingatibonga ngawo embikweNkhosi yetfu Jesu ekubuyeni kwayo? Akusini yini? 20Vele, ngini ludvumo lwetfu nenjabulo yetfu.
