1 Pavl, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, vnto the Church of the Thessalonians, which is in God the Father, and in the Lord Iesus Christ: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

Nye, Paulo, Silvano kple Timoteo gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na Kristohame si le Tesalonika, mi ame siwo nye Mawu Fofo la kple Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo tɔ. Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa si tso Mawu mía Fofo kple míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gbɔ la woana mi.

2 We giue God thankes alwayes for you all, making mention of you in our prayers

Míedaa akpe na Mawu ɣe sia ɣi ɖe mia ta eye míedoa gbe ɖa ɖe mia ta madzudzɔmadzudzɔe.

3 Without ceasing, remembring your effectuall faith, and diligent loue, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Iesus Christ, in the sight of God euen our Father,

Le míaƒe gbedodoɖawo me na Mawu, mía Fofo la ɖe mia ta la, míeŋlɔa miaƒe lɔlɔ̃dɔwo, miaƒe xɔse triakɔ kple mɔkpɔkpɔ na míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe tɔtrɔgbɔ la be o.

4 Knowing, beloued brethren, that ye are elect of God.

Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo kple Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃tɔ veviwo, míenya be Mawu ŋutɔe tia mi,

5 For our Gospell was not vnto you in worde only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in much assurance, as ye know after what maner we were among you for your sakes.

elabena esi míetsɔ nyanyui la vɛ na mi la, miexɔe abe nya dzodzro aɖe ko ene o; ke boŋ le ŋusẽ kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe kpakple kakaɖedzikpɔkpɔ geɖe me hã abe ale si mienya ame si ƒomeviwo míenye le mia dome le mia ta la ene.

6 And ye became followers of vs, and of the Lord, and receiued the worde in much affliction, with ioy of the holy Ghost,

Ale mieva zu míawo kple Aƒetɔ la yomedzelawo, elabena miexɔ míaƒe nya la kple dzidzɔ si tso Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gbɔ togbɔ be ehe tetekpɔ kple nuxaxa geɖewo va mia dzii hã.

7 So that ye were as ensamples to all that beleeue in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Emegbe la, miawo ŋutɔwo mieva zu kpɔɖeŋu na xɔsetɔ siwo katã le Makedonia kple Akaya.

8 For from you sounded out the worde of the Lord, not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but your faith also which is toward God, spred abroad in all quarters, that we neede not to speake any thing.

Azɔ la, miekaka Aƒetɔ la ƒe nya la na amewo le afi sia afi, tso Akaya yi keke Makedonia ƒe liƒowo godo ke hã, elabena afi sia afi si míeyi la, amewo ɖia ɖase tso miaƒe xɔse deto si le mia si le Mawu me la ŋuti. Esia ta megahiã be míawo míagagblɔ nya aɖeke na wo o,

9 For they themselues shew of vs what maner of entring in we had vnto you, and how ye turned to God from idoles, to serue the liuing and true God,

10 And to looke for his sonne from heauen, whome he raised from the dead, euen Iesus which deliuereth vs from that wrath to come.

Eye wogblɔ hã na mí be miele mɔ kpɔm na Mawu ƒe Vi, Yesu ƒe tɔtrɔ va tso dziƒo; ame si Mawu fɔ tso ku me, eye wònye Ɖela si ko ate ŋu aɖe mí tso Mawu ƒe dziku helĩhelĩ ɖe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti la me.
