Je was op zoek naar: twasema (Swahili - Engels)

kwa vile hili ndilo tumaini letu, sisi twasema kwa uhodari mkuu.
seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

kweli nakwambia, sisi twasema tunayoyajua na kushuhudia tuliyoyaona, lakini ninyi hamkubali ujumbe wetu.
verily, verily, i say unto thee, we speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

lakini, ingawa twasema namna hii, wapenzi wetu, tunalo tumaini kubwa juu ya hali yenu. tunajua kwamba mmepokea baraka zile bora za wokovu wenu.
but, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
