1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church 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.
Paulusi, Silvanus, ni Timotea ku nkereke i vena Matesolonika mwe Ireza Ishetu ni Simwine Jesu Keresite. Chishemo ni nkozo zive nenwe.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Inako yonse tuha vu itumero kwa Ireza chenu mwense, chi tu mi sumpa mu ntapero.
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, (agape) and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Tu zeza cha ku sa siya havusu vwa Ireza wetu ni Isi mitendo yenu ye ntumero, mutendo ye rato, ni kuliverera kwe nsepo kwa ku vusu mwa Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite.
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
Mizwale va sakiiwa kwa Ireza, twizi ku sumpwa kwenu,
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word (logos) only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and in much assurance; as all of you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
mu iveziri ivangeli yetu kwenu isiñi mu liinzwi feela, kono hape ni mu maata, mu Luhoho lu Jolola, ni mu initifazo tota. Mu nzila iswana, nemwe hape mufuta nzi wa vantu mutu ve kalile mu kati kenu ke vaka lyenu.
6 And all of you became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word (logos) in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
Mu va sanduki valikanyisi vetu ni vwa Simwine, sina ha muva tambuli liinzwi cha vukukutu ni nyakalalo izwa ku Luhuho lu Jolola.
7 So that all of you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
Ku mamani mani mu va sanduki mutala ku vonse mwa Sedoniya ni Achiya va zumina.
8 For from you sounded out the word (logos) of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
Mukuti kuzwa kwenu liinzwi lya Ireza li va lili hanze, mi insiñi feela mwa Masedoniya ni Achiya. Konohe, ni ku chimwi ni chimwi civaka i ntumero yenu mwa Ireza mu iva hiti. Ma mani mani, katu suni ku wamba cimwi.
9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how all of you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
Kakuli avo vene va viha mwiziro u tu vena mukati kenu. Va mu rwilwa mu mu veziri kwa Ireza kuzwa ku siswaniso ku tendera yo hala ni we niti Ireza.
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.
Va viha kuti mu lindire Mwanakwe kuzwa kwi wulu, yava vuusi ku va fwire. Uzu nji Jesu, u lukulula iswe ku vukali vu kezite.
