1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
Saa nhoma yi fi Paulo, Silas ne Timoteo nkyɛn, Wɔde kɔma Tesalonika asafo a wɔyɛ Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo mma no: Adom ne asomdwoe nka mo.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;
Daa yɛda Onyankopɔn ase ma mo, na yɛkae mo wɔ yɛn mpaebɔ mu nso.
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
Efisɛ yɛkae mo gyidi a mode di dwuma, mo dɔ a ɛma mutumi de nsi yɛ adwuma ne mo anidaso dennen a mowɔ wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo mu no wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn ne Agya no anim.
4 knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,
Anuanom, yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn dɔ mo nti na wayi mo sɛ ɔno ankasa ne de no.
5 how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.
Sɛ yɛbɛkaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo a, ɛnyɛ nsɛm bi kwa, na mmom yegyina tumi ne Honhom Kronkron ne mu nokware mu gyidi so. Munim nnipa ko a na yɛyɛ ɛne sɛnea yɛboaa mo fae.
6 And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;
Musuasuaa yɛn ne Awurade; ɛwɔ mu sɛ muhuu amane de, nanso mode anigye a efi Honhom Kronkron no mu gyee asɛm no.
7 so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Ɛnam so ma mobɛyɛɛ nhwɛso maa agyidifo a wɔwɔ Makedonia ne Hela nyinaa.
8 For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.
Nsɛm a moka faa Awurade ho no ankɔ Makedonia ne Hela nko, na mmom gyidi a mowɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn mu no ho asɛm adu baabiara. Asɛm biara nni hɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka bio.
9 For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
Obiara kamfo sɛnea mugyee yɛn ne sɛnea motwee mo ho fii abosom ho kɔsom nokware Nyankopɔn a ɔte ase daa no,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
na motwɛn ne Ba a ofi ɔsoro no; Yesu a onyan no fii awufo mu a ogye yɛn fi Onyankopɔn abufuw a ɛreba no mu no.
