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.
Paulo, Silwano na Timoteo mwikanisa Lya abatesalonike mu Nyamuanga Lata na Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo. Echigongo no mulengelesi bhibhibhi amwi nemwe.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Echisosha isime ku Nyamuanga bhuli mwanya ingulu yemwe bhona, mu mwanya gunu echibhaika mu okusabhwa kweswe.
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;
Echichuka bhila kuta imbele ya Nyamuanga na Lata weswe emilimu jemwe ejelikilisha, mu bhwafu bhwo kwenda, no bhwigumilisha obhwo bhubhasi kulwa ingulu yo mwanya gundi mu Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
Bhaili bhanu omwendwa na Nyamuanga, chimenyele okubhilikilwa kwemwe.
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.
Na lwa kutyo emisango jo bhwana jachijie kwiswe kwimwe atali kulwo musango-ela nawe one mu managa, mu Mwoyo Mwelu, na mu chimali. Mu namuna eyo, mumenyele eswe one ati chaliga bhanu bha inamuna ki agati-gati yemwe ingulu yemwe.
6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
Mwaliga muli bhanu bho kuchilolelako eswe na Latabhugenyi, lwa kutyo mwagulamie omusango mu nyako mu kukondelelwa kunu okusoka mu Mwoyo Mwelu.
7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
Na mukubhonekana kwaye, nimubha chijejekanyo ku bhona mu Makedonia na Akaya mu bhanu abhekilisha.
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.
Kulwo kubha okusoka kwemwe omusango gwa Nyamuanga gwaswilile oneone, nolwo atali mu Makedonia na Akaya yenyele. Okwiya kwae, bhuli ebhala elikilisha lyemwe mu Nyamuanga lyaswilile one no kubhonekana kwae, chitakenele kwaika chona chona.
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;
Kulwo kubha abhene bhenene abhamenyesha okuja kweswe kwaliga kwa mbikaki agati yemwe. Abhelesha lwakutyo mwamuindukie Nyamuanga okusoka mubhisusano no kumukolela Nyamuanga unu ali muanga no we chimali.
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.
Bhasosishe emisango ati mulindilie omwana wae okusoka Mulwile, unu asuluywe okusoka mubhafue. Mbe unu ni Yesu, unu kachisulumula okusoka mwisungu linu elija.
