1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.
Nze Pawulo ne Sirwano ne Timoseewo, tuwandiikira Ekkanisa ey’Abasessaloniika, abantu ba Katonda Kitaffe ne Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, ekisa n’emirembe bibeerenga gye muli.
2 We always thank God for all of you, remembering you in our prayers
Bulijjo twebaza Katonda ku lwammwe mwenna era tubasabira obutayosa,
3 and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
nga tujjukira omulimu gwammwe ogw’okukkiriza, n’okufuba okw’okwagala n’okugumiikiriza okw’essuubi mu Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo mu maaso ga Katonda era Kitaffe,
4 Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,
era nga tumanyi, nga mmwe abooluganda muli mikwano gya Katonda, baayagala ennyo, be yalonda.
5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.
Kubanga Enjiri yaffe teyajja gye muli mu kigambo kyokka, wabula ne mu maanyi, ne mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu, ne mu bukakafu obungi, era nga bwe mumanyi nga twabeeranga wakati mu mmwe ku lwammwe.
6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.
Nammwe mwagoberera Mukama waffe era ne mukola nga bwe twakolanga bwe mwakkiriza ekigambo wakati mu kubonaabona okungi nga mulina essanyu eriva mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu,
7 As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
ne mubeera ekyokulabirako eri abakkiriza bonna ab’omu Makedoniya ne Akaya.
8 For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.
Kubanga ekigambo kya Mukama kibunye okuva mu mmwe, si mu Makedoniya ne mu Akaya mwokka, naye ne mu buli kifo n’okukkiriza kwammwe eri Katonda kwabuna ne tutabaako kye tukwogerera.
9 For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
Kubanga bo bennyini batubuulira engeri gye mwatwanirizaamu, ne bwe mwakyuka okuleka bakatonda abalala ne mudda eri Katonda omulamu era ow’amazima,
10 and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.
era ne bwe mulindiridde Omwana wa Katonda, okukomawo okuva mu ggulu, gwe yazuukiza okuva mu bafu, ye Yesu oyo yekka atulokola okutuwonya mu busungu bwa Katonda obugenda okujja.
