< 1 Thessalonians 1 >
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nene Pauli na Siliwano na Timoti, tikuvayandikila msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va ku Tesalonike. Ndi vandu voha vevakumuyupa Chapanga Dadi, na va BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu. Tikuvaganila ubwina wa Chapanga na uteke.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
Tikumsengusa Chapanga magono goha ndava yinu mwavoha na kuvakumbuka magono goha mukuyupa kwitu Chapanga.
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.
Muni, palongolo ya Chapanga Dadi witu, tikumbuka ndi chemwilasa sadika yinu kwa matendu, na uganu winu cheukuvakita muhenga lihengu neju, na chila sadika yitu kwa BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu yanganyugusika.
4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
Valongo timanyili kuvya Chapanga avaganili na avahagwili muvya vandu vaki,
5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
muni lukumbi lwetavakokosili Lilovi la Bwina gavili lepi malovi gene, ndi kwa makakala na kwa Mpungu Msopi, na chakaka kuvya ujumbi wenuwo wavili wachakaka. Mmanyili chatatamili pamonga na nyenye, tatamili kwa kuvatangatila nyenye.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Nyenye mwalandili luhumu lwitu, mwamyigili BAMBU. Pamonga na mwaviniswi neju, mwapokili ujumbi wenuwo kwa luheku wewihuma kwa Mpungu Msopi.
7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Hinu nyenye ndi luhumu lwabwina neju kwa vandu voha vevakumsadika va Makedonia na Akaya.
8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.
Muni, ndava ya ukangamala winu ujumbi wa BAMBU uyuwaniki lepi ku Makedonia na ku Akaya kwene, ndi sadika ya Chapanga yidandasiki kwoha. Kangi niganili lepi kujova neju,
9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
Vandu venavo vevitama patali na nyenye vilongela kuvala lugendu lwitu kwinu na chemwatipokili, ndi chemwalekili chimong'omong'o, na kumhengela Chapanga mweavimumi na wa chakaka,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
Hinu mkumlindila Mwana waki ahelela kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, ndi Yesu, na mwene ndi Chapanga amyukisi kuhuma mu lifwa na mweakutisangula kuhuma muligoga la Chapanga lelibwela.
