1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Une che Paolo ni che Siluwano ni che Timoseo, tukunnembela ŵanyamwe mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa kwele ku Sesalonike ŵandi ŵandu ŵakwe Akunnungu Atati ni Ambuje ŵetu che Yesu Kilisito. Tukummendela ntuuka ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
2 We thank God always about all of you, making recollection of you in our prayers,
Tukwatogolela Akunnungu moŵa gose kwa ligongo lyenu wose ni kunkumbuchilanga mmapopelo getu pangapela.
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.
Pakuŵa paujo pa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu tukukumbuchila inkuti pakutumichila kwa chikulupi ni inkuti pakulisausya ni masengo ligongo lya unonyelo wenu. Iyoyo tukukumbuchila ichitite kulimbichika chilolelo chenu kwa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
4 Knowing, beloved brothers, your selection by God,
Achalongo achinjetu ŵakunonyelwa ni Akunnungu, tukumanyilila kuti ŵelewo ansagwile mme ŵandu ŵakwe.
5 because the good news from us happened to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, as ye know what kind of men we became among you, because of you.
Pakuŵa patwalalichile Ngani Jambone kukwenu nganitulalichila kwa maloŵe pe, nambo kwa machili ni ukamuchisyo wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu tuchimanyililaga kuti utenga wo uli wa usyene. Nkumanyilila itwatite kutama pamo ni ŵanyamwe, twatemi yambone kwa kunkamuchisya ŵanyamwe.
6 And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Ŵanyamwe mwatusyasisye uweji ni mwasyasisye Ambuje. Namuno mwalageswe kwannope mwalipochele Liloŵe lya Akunnungu kwa lukondwa lwalukutyochela mu Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
7 in order for you to become examples to all those who believe, in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Kwa litala li ŵanyamwe mwatendekwe chisyasyo kwa ŵakukulupilila wose ŵa ku Makedonia ni ku Akaya nombe nako.
8 For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.
Pakuŵa kutyochela kukwenu lisonile liloŵe lya Ambuje, ngaŵa pa Makedonia ni pa Akaya pe, nambo posepose ngani ja chikulupi chenu kwa Akunnungu chijenele. Kwa pele uweji nganitukola chindu chakusala.
9 For they report about us what kind of entrance we had with you, and how ye turned to God from the idols to serve a living and true God,
Achinsyene wo akuŵalanga ngani ja ulendo wetu patwanjimajimile, intite pakutupochela ni intite kuileka inyago ni intite pakwagalauchila Akunnungu. Mwatesile yeleyo kuti mwatumichile Akunnungu ŵajumi ni ŵausyene.
10 and to await his Son from the heavens whom he raised from the dead-Jesus-who rescues us from the coming wrath.
Sambano nkunlindilila Mwanagwe juchatuluche kutyochela kwinani, yaani Che Yesu juŵansyusisye mu ŵawe, nombewo ni ŵakutukulupusya mlutumbilo lwa Akunnungu lwalukwika.
