1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of Thessalonians in God the Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
Ajino bhaluwa jino kujikopoka kwangu nne a Pauli, na a Shilibhanushi, na a Timoteo. Tunakunnjandishilanga nninginji ku likanisha lya bha Teshalonike, bhandunji bha Atati a Nnungu na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu. Tunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers,
Tunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu mobha gowe, kwa ligongo lyenunji mmowe na kunkumbushilanga kila putukwaajuga a Nnungu.
3 continually remembering before our God and Father your work for the Faith and your labor coming from the Love and your perseverance based on the Hope, our Lord Jesus Christ being their source,
Tunakumbushila shinkuti languyanga ngulupai jenunji kwa pinga, na shinkuti lajililanga tenda liengo kwa tumbilila na kulupalila, na shinshite kwiishimilikanga ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 knowing as we do, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen.
Ashaalongo, tumumanyi kuti a Nnungu bhanakumpinganga na bhashikunng'agulanga mmanganje bhandu bhabho,
5 You see, our Gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with complete certainty (of course you know what sort of men we proved to be among you for your sake).
pabha putwannungushiyenje Ngani ja Mmbone jila nngabha kwa malobhepe, ikabhe kwa mashili na kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, tulikumumanya kuti ntengago ni gwa kweli. Mmumanyinji shitwaashite tama na mmanganyanji, nkupinga mpwaikanje.
6 Yes you became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the Word with the Holy Spirit's joy, in spite of severe affliction,
Mmanganya mwashinkukaguyanga itwatendaga uwe na ibhatendaga Bhakulungwa. Nkali mwapotekwenje kwa kaje, mwashinkuuposhelanga ntenga kwa angalala kukopoka kuka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
7 so that you became examples to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
Kwa nneyo mmanganya nshibhanganga shilangulo sha kagulwa na bhandunji bhowe, bhaakulupalilanga bha ku Makedonia na bha ku Akaya.
8 That is because the Word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia but also in every place—your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we do not need to say anything.
Pabha, koposhela kwenu mmanganyanji, ntenga gwa Bhakulungwa ushumile, nngabha ku Makedonia na ku Akayape, ikabhe ngulupai jenunji kwa a Nnungu jishishuma mmbali yowe. Numbe twangali sha bheleketa kabhili.
9 They themselves report about you what kind of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to be slaves to the living and true God,
Pabha ashaayenenji bhanatalashiyanga ga mwanja gwetu kunngwenunji, shimwatuposhelenje na shimwashite kuilekanga yanamu, nikwaatendebhushila a Nnungu bhali na gumi na bha kweli,
10 and to wait for His Son coming out of the heavens (whom He raised from among the dead)—Jesus, who preserves us from the coming wrath.
nikwaalinda Bhanabhabho kopoka kunnungu, yani a Yeshu. Bhayushiywe na a Nnungu, bhakututapula na nnjimwa jikwiya ja a Nnungu.
