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.
Paulusi, Silvanus, ni Timotea ku nkereke i vena Matesolonika mwe Ireza Ishetu ni Simwine Jesu Keresite. Chishemo ni nkozo zive nenwe.
2 We always thank God for all of you, remembering you in our prayers
Inako yonse tuha vu itumero kwa Ireza chenu mwense, chi tu mi sumpa mu ntapero.
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.
Tu zeza cha ku sa siya havusu vwa Ireza wetu ni Isi mitendo yenu ye ntumero, mutendo ye rato, ni kuliverera kwe nsepo kwa ku vusu mwa Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite.
4 Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,
Mizwale va sakiiwa kwa Ireza, twizi ku sumpwa kwenu,
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.
mu iveziri ivangeli yetu kwenu isiñi mu liinzwi feela, kono hape ni mu maata, mu Luhoho lu Jolola, ni mu initifazo tota. Mu nzila iswana, nemwe hape mufuta nzi wa vantu mutu ve kalile mu kati kenu ke vaka lyenu.
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.
Mu va sanduki valikanyisi vetu ni vwa Simwine, sina ha muva tambuli liinzwi cha vukukutu ni nyakalalo izwa ku Luhuho lu Jolola.
7 As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
Ku mamani mani mu va sanduki mutala ku vonse mwa Sedoniya ni Achiya va zumina.
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.
Mukuti kuzwa kwenu liinzwi lya Ireza li va lili hanze, mi insiñi feela mwa Masedoniya ni Achiya. Konohe, ni ku chimwi ni chimwi civaka i ntumero yenu mwa Ireza mu iva hiti. Ma mani mani, katu suni ku wamba cimwi.
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
Kakuli avo vene va viha mwiziro u tu vena mukati kenu. Va mu rwilwa mu mu veziri kwa Ireza kuzwa ku siswaniso ku tendera yo hala ni we niti Ireza.
10 and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.
Va viha kuti mu lindire Mwanakwe kuzwa kwi wulu, yava vuusi ku va fwire. Uzu nji Jesu, u lukulula iswe ku vukali vu kezite.
