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.
Paul, Silvain ak Timothée a legliz Tesalonisyen yo nan Bondye, Papa a ak Senyè a, Jésus Kri: Lagras pou nou ak lapè.
2 We thank God always about all of you, making recollection of you in our prayers,
Nou bay remèsiman a Bondye tout tan pou nou tout e nonmen non nou nan lapriyè nou yo.
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.
San rete nou sonje travay lafwa nou an, ak èv lanmou nou yo; jan nou te kenbe fèm nan esperans de Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, devan prezans a Bondye, Papa nou.
4 Knowing, beloved brothers, your selection by God,
Nou konprann, frè byeneme pa Bondye yo, chwa Li menm de nou an.
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.
Ke levanjil pa nou an pa t vini a nou menm nan pawòl sèlman, men osi nan pouvwa ak nan Lespri Sen an. Li te vini avèk tout asirans, jis jan ou konnen ki kalite moun nou te ye pami nou an, pou koz a nou.
6 And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Nou osi te devni imitatè a nou menm e a Senyè a. Konsa, nou te resevwa pawòl la nan anpil tribilasyon, avèk lajwa Lespri Sen an.
7 in order for you to become examples to all those who believe, in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Konsa, nou te devni yon egzanp pou tout kwayan nan Macédoine ak nan Achaïe yo.
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.
Paske pawòl a Senyè a te deklare soti nan nou menm, non sèlman nan Macédoine ak Achaïe, men osi chak kote ke lafwa nou anvè Bondye te vin konnen, pou nou pa bezwen di anyen.
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,
Paske yo menm bay rapò de nou; sou jan ou te resevwa nou, ak jan nou te vire vè Bondye pou kite zidòl yo, pou sèvi yon Bondye vivan e vrè,
10 and to await his Son from the heavens whom he raised from the dead-Jesus-who rescues us from the coming wrath.
epi pou tann Fis Li a soti nan syèl la. Sila Li te fè leve soti nan lanmò a, ki se Jésus, ki delivre nou anba kòlè k ap vini an.
