1 Thessalonians 3

1 Ngakho kwathi singasanelisi ukukumela, sabona kungcono ukuba sisale sodwa e-Athene. 2 Sathuma uThimothi, ongumzalwane wethu lesisebenzi kanye lathi kuNkulunkulu ekutshumayeleni ivangeli likaKhristu, ukuliqinisa lokulikhuthaza ekukholweni kwenu, 3 ukuze angabi khona ongayikuhlaliseka ngenxa yalezizilingo. Liyakwazi kakuhle ukuthi samiselwa zona. 4 Ngeqiniso, siseselani, sasihlala silitshela ukuthi sizahlukuluzwa. Kwaba njalo njengoba lisazi kakuhle. 5 Ngenxa yalokhu, kwathi ngingasanelisi ukukumela, ngathumela ukuba ngazi ngokholo lwenu. Ngangisesaba ukuthi engxenye umlingi uselilingile lemizamo yethu kayisizanga.

Umbiko kaThimothi okhuthazayo

6 Kodwa uThimothi usanda kufika kithi khathesi evela kini njalo ulethe izindaba ezinhle ngokholo lwenu kanye lothando lwenu. Usitshele ukuthi lihlala lilemikhumbulo emihle ngathi kanye lokuthi lifisa ukusibona njengoba lathi sifisa ukulibona. 7 Ngakho, bazalwane, kulo lonke usizi lwethu kanye lokuhlukuluzwa kwethu, sakhuthazeka ngani ngenxa yokukholwa kwenu.

8 Ngoba khathesi sesiphila impela, njengoba liqinile eNkosini.

9 Singalibongela njani ngokwaneleyo kuNkulunkulu sisenana yonke intokozo esilayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu ngenxa yenu?

10 Ebusuku lemini siyakhuleka ngokuzimisela ukuba silibone futhi silinike okusilelayo ekukholweni kwenu.

11 Sengathi uNkulunkulu wethu loBaba uqobo kanye leNkosi yethu uJesu angasivulela indlela yokuza kini.

12 Sengathi iNkosi ingandisa uthando lwenu kuthi olomunye lomunye luphumelele komunye kanye lakumuntu wonke, njengokwenziwa ngolwethu kini. 13 Kayilinike amandla angaphakathi ukuze lingasoleki njalo libe ngcwele phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu loBaba ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uJesu labangcwele bayo bonke.
