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.
uPaulo, Silwano nu Timatheo ku Itekeelo nila ku Thesaloniki mung'wa Itunda Tata nua Mukulu uYesu Kristo. Ukende nu ulyuuku utule nu nyenye.
2 We thank God always about all of you, making recollection of you in our prayers,
Ki ipumya ilumbi kung'wa Itunda kila nkua ku nsoko anyu mihi, matungo ni kuumuta mu malompi itu.
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.
Kimikimbukiilya shanga kukondya ntongeela ang'wa Itunda Tata i ilimo anyu nu uhuiili, kinya ngulu nika ulowa, nu ugimya nu ukete i kinyangulu kunsoko a panyambele mu Mukulu uYesu Kristo.
4 Knowing, beloved brothers, your selection by God,
Anyandugu ni muloilwe ni Itunda, kulingile u witangwi nua nyu.
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.
Ni kinya inkani ninza ni itu nai izile kitalanyu shanga ku nkani duu, ila ga nu ku ngulu, mu Ng'wau Ng'waelu, nu mu kulu kuulu. Ku mpyani yiyo, mulingile ga nu sese ai katulaa antu a mpyani kii mukati anyu kunsoko anyu.
6 And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Ai matulaa antu a kuigiilya usese ku Mukulu, anga nai musingiiye u lukani mu lwago ki iloeelya ni lipembeeye kung'wa Ng'wau Ng'welu.
7 in order for you to become examples to all those who believe, in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Ni mapumilo akwe, mikatula mpyani ku ihi mu Mekadonia ni Akaiya naza ahuiie.
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.
Ku nsoko kupuma kitalanyuu lukani nulang'wa Itunda lekondaniie pihi. nu sese ku Mekadonia ni Akaiya ing'wene du. Badala akwe, ku kila kianza u uhuiili nua nyu kung'wa Itunda lukondaniile pihi. Ni mapumilo akwe, shanga kukete nsula kuligitya kihi.
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,
Kunsoko enso akola akupindula u upembyi nuitu ai watulaa wa mpyani kii kati anyu. Akuganula nai mu mupilukie Itunda niiza mupanga hangi nua tai.
10 and to await his Son from the heavens whom he raised from the dead-Jesus-who rescues us from the coming wrath.
Ai apumilye i nkani kina mu mulindiie u Ng'wana nuakwe kupuma kilunde, nai wiukigwe kupuma ku ashi. Nu uyu ingi Yesu, nui kuika ilyuuku kupuma mu ikuo nilipembilye.
