2 Thessalonians 2English

2 Batesalonika 2African Kalanga

English1
Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers,
African Kalanga
Nekwe hha kwa He wedu Jesu Khirisiti ne kukubungana kwedu kuti tihangane naye, tomukumbila makamu
English2
not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come.
African Kalanga
kuti musitongo hangana miholo kene mukapalukamoyo, muyitiwa ne bulebesambeli kene mbiko kene lukwalo, zwinoyi zwakabva kutili guti hhuba la He lakatjihha kale.
English3
Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
African Kalanga
Kuhaye unomutjebela ne imwe zila, ngobe hhuba ilelo alitowohha kudzina kupanduka kuhha, na iye mbimbi ezumbunugwa, iye wakabigigwa kuloba.
English4
He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
African Kalanga
Unowonyanyayidza, kazwibiga pehhugwi kwe tjimwe ne tjimwe tjinodang'wa kuyi ndzimu kene tjinopfigamigwa, na iko unowozwibiga pehhugwi mu Ng'umba ye Ndzimu, ezwidana eti Ndzimu.
English5
Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?
African Kalanga
Apa amutoalakana kene kuti ndakati ndi namwi ndakabe ndimubudza zwinhu izwezwi?
English6
And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
African Kalanga
Ngono ngwenu moziba kuti wakabhakhwa neni. Moziba kuti wakabhatigwa kuti akowozumbunugwa ne lubaka gwakalingisana.
English7
For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
African Kalanga
Ngobe simba gulu biibi lakasumbikala lohinga kale, koga lowozumbunugwa ha iwoyo wakalibhata adusiwa mu zila.
English8
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
African Kalanga
Ngono mbimbi unowozumbunugwa, ngono He Jesu unowombulaya ne meya ye nlomo uwe, kanlobesa nekwe kuhha kukwe.
English9
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
African Kalanga
Hha kwe mbimbi kowobe kuli kuhinga kwa Satani, iye uno hingisa masimba akasiyana siyana nenge zwilakidzo ne matjenamiso e manyepkhwa,
English10
and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
African Kalanga
nenge bubi gose gwakasiyana siyana gwe butjakwani gunotjebela ibabo banowoloba, ngobe bakalamba kuda malebeswa kuti ndizo batjidziwe.
English11
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
African Kalanga
Nekwa ikoku Ndzimu unobatumila tjidzimilabgwe tjikulu kuti ndizo bagalemoyo mu manyepkhwa,
English12
and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
African Kalanga
kuti ndizo basakagalamoyo mu malebeswa koga bakazipigwa ne mbipo, bose babong'we nlandu.
English13
But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.
African Kalanga
Koga takafanila boka Ndzimu misi yose ne kwenyu makamu anodiwa ndi He, ngobe kubva tjose mu kutangisa, Ndzimu wakamuhalulila kutjidziwa ne n’hingo we Meya inoyengemadza nenge kugalamoyo kwenyu mu malebeswa.
English14
He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
African Kalanga
Wakamudanila ikoku ne ndebo mbuya yedu kuti namwibo mube ne gobe mu gudzo la He wedu Jesu Khirisiti.
English15
So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
African Kalanga
Ndizo, makamu, imani makasima kakale mubhatilile mu zwidiyo zwatakapizila kumuli ne nlomo kene ne lukwalo.
English16
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
African Kalanga
Dzene tshene He wedu Jesu Khirisiti ne kukwe ne Ndzimu Tate bedu, ibo bakatida, kakale bakatipa nyaladzo isingapele ne kugalabgwe kwakalulwama ne ngoni dzabo,
English17
encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
African Kalanga
dzene bangayendilambeli bakasimisa mimoyo yenyu, mu n’hingo mmwe ne mmwe wakanaka nenge dama lakanaka.
