1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy: to the church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father, and in 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 Grace be to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for you all; making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing,
Ki ipumya ilumbi kung'wa Itunda kila nkua ku nsoko anyu mihi, matungo ni kuumuta mu malompi itu.
3 Being mindful of the work of your faith, and labour, and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our 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, brethren beloved of God, your election:
Anyandugu ni muloilwe ni Itunda, kulingile u witangwi nua nyu.
5 For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes.
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 you became followers of us, and of the Lord; receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
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 So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Ni mapumilo akwe, mikatula mpyani ku ihi mu Mekadonia ni Akaiya naza ahuiie.
8 For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia, and in Achaia, but also in every place, your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing.
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 themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the 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 wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead, ) Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.
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.
