1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the Assembly of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, Silvain ak Timothée a legliz Tesalonisyen yo nan Bondye, Papa a ak Senyè a, Jésus Kri: Lagras pou nou ak lapè.

2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Nou bay remèsiman a Bondye tout tan pou nou tout e nonmen non nou nan lapriyè nou yo.

3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

San rete nou sonje travay lafwa nou an, ak èv lanmou nou yo; jan nou te kenbe fèm nan esperans de Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, devan prezans a Bondye, Papa nou.

4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

Nou konprann, frè byeneme pa Bondye yo, chwa Li menm de nou an.

5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

Ke levanjil pa nou an pa t vini a nou menm nan pawòl sèlman, men osi nan pouvwa ak nan Lespri Sen an. Li te vini avèk tout asirans, jis jan ou konnen ki kalite moun nou te ye pami nou an, pou koz a nou.

6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

Nou osi te devni imitatè a nou menm e a Senyè a. Konsa, nou te resevwa pawòl la nan anpil tribilasyon, avèk lajwa Lespri Sen an.

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

Konsa, nou te devni yon egzanp pou tout kwayan nan Macédoine ak nan Achaïe yo.

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.

Paske pawòl a Senyè a te deklare soti nan nou menm, non sèlman nan Macédoine ak Achaïe, men osi chak kote ke lafwa nou anvè Bondye te vin konnen, pou nou pa bezwen di anyen.

9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

Paske yo menm bay rapò de nou; sou jan ou te resevwa nou, ak jan nou te vire vè Bondye pou kite zidòl yo, pou sèvi yon Bondye vivan e vrè,

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.

epi pou tann Fis Li a soti nan syèl la. Sila Li te fè leve soti nan lanmò a, ki se Jésus, ki delivre nou anba kòlè k ap vini an.
