1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Akwụkwọ ozi a si nʼaka Pọl, Saịlas na Timoti. Na-abịara nzukọ dị na Tesalonaịka, ndị e jikọtara ha na Chineke Nna, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst. Ka amara na udo dịrị unu.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Anyị na-ekele Chineke ekele mgbe niile, na-echetakwa unu nʼekpere anyị.
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Mgbe niile ka anyị na-echeta nʼekpere nye Chineke bụ Nna, ihe gbasara ọrụ unu nke sitere nʼokwukwe, ya na ịrụsị ọrụ ike unu nke sitere nʼịhụnanya, na iguzosi ike unu nke sitere nʼolileanya unu nwere nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
4 Knowing, brothers beloved, your election of God.
Ụmụnna anyị, anyị maara na Chineke hụrụ unu nʼanya nke ukwuu, họpụta unu.
5 For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
Nʼihi na ọbụghị naanị nke okwu ọnụ ka oziọma anyị rutere unu, kama ọ bụkwa nʼike, na nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ nakwa mmetụta nke dị omimi. Unu maara ụdị ndụ anyị biri nʼetiti unu nʼihi unu.
6 And you became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
Nke a mere unu ji bụrụ ndị na-eṅomi anyị na Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na unu jiri ọṅụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-enye nabata oziọma ahụ, nʼagbanyeghị ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị ukwuu nke o wetaara unu.
7 So that you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu ghọrọ ihe ilere anya nye ndị niile kwere ekwe nọ na Masidonia na Akaịa.
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
Ugbu a, e sitela na ndụ unu mee ka oziọma Onyenwe anyị gbasaa gabiga Masidonia na Akaịa. Nʼihi na a na-anụ ihe banyere okwukwe unu nwere na Chineke nʼebe niile. Ya mere, ọ dịkwaghị mkpa ka anyị kwuo ihe banyere ya.
9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
Nʼihi na ha onwe ha na-ebu ụzọ gwa anyị ihe banyere nnabata unu nabatara anyị, na otu unu si site nʼikpere arụsị tụgharịa, bido ife Chineke dị ndụ, onye bụkwa ezi Chineke,
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
na i chere Ọkpara ya onye ga-esi nʼeluigwe, onye o sitere na ndị nwụrụ anwụ kulite, Jisọs, onye na-anapụta anyị nʼiwe nke na-abịa.
