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.
Lokwalo lo lo tswa kwa go: Paulo le Silase le Timotheo. Lo kwalelwa: Phuthego e e kwa Thesalonia, lona ba lo leng ba Modimo Rara le Morena Jesu Keresete: a tshegofatso le kagiso ya pelo e nne dineo tsa lona tse di itekanetseng di tswa kwa Modimong Rraa rona, le kwa go Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona.
2 We giue God thankes alwayes for you all, making mention of you in our prayers
Ka malatsi otlhe re leboga Modimo ka lona re ntse re lo rapelela ka metlha yotlhe.
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,
Ga re ke re lebala ditiro tsa lona tsa lorato fa re ntse re bua le Modimo wa rona le Rara kaga lona, le kaga tumelo ya lona e e nonofileng le ka go lebelela ka tshisibalo go bonala ga Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
4 Knowing, beloued brethren, that ye are elect of God.
Re a itse gore Modimo o lo tlhophile, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang thata mo Modimong.
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.
Gonne erile fa re lo leretse Mafoko a a molemo, e ne e se gore ke puo fela e e senang molemo mo go lona; nnyaa, lo ne lwa reetsa ka kgatlhego e kgolo. Se re se lo boleletseng se ne sa ungwa loungo lo lo nonofileng mo go lona, gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo o ne wa lo naya tlhomamiso e kgolo gore se re se buileng e ne e le boammaaruri. Ebile lo itse ka fa one matshelo a rona a neng a le sesupo mo go lona sa boammaaruri jwa molaetsa wa rona ka teng.
6 And ye became followers of vs, and of the Lord, and receiued the worde in much affliction, with ioy of the holy Ghost,
Jalo lwa nna balatedi ba rona le ba Morena; gonne lo amogetse molaetsa wa rona ka boitumelo jo bo tswang mo Moweng O O Boitshepo mo godimo ga meleko le dikutlo botlhoko tse o di lo lereditseng.
7 So that ye were as ensamples to all that beleeue in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Mme lona ka sebele lwa nna sekao mo Bakereseteng ba bangwe botlhe mo Masedonia le mo Akaia.
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.
Mme jaanong lefoko la Morena le dule mo go lona la anamela kwa ntle kwa go ba bangwe gongwe le gongwe, kgakala go feta melelwane ya Masedonia le Akaia, gonne gongwe le gonwe kwa re yang teng re fitlhela batho ba re bolelela kaga tumelo ya lona e e sa belaesegeng mo Modimong. Ga go tlhokege gore re ba bolelele ka yone,
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,
gonne ba re bolelela gangwe le gape kaga kamogelo e e hakgamatsang e ntle e lo re amogetseng ka yone, le ka fa lo furaletseng medimo ya disetwa ka teng lo boela mo Modimong gore jaanong Modimo o o tshelang o o boammaaruri ke one Morena wa lona.
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.
Gape ba bua ka fa lo lebeletseng ka teng go bowa ga Morwa Modimo a tswa legodimong, ebong Jesu, yo Modimo o neng wa mo tsosa mo baswing, ebile ke ene fela Mmoloki wa rona mo bogaleng jwa Modimo jo bo boitshegang kgatlhanong le sebe.
