< 1 Thessalonians 1 >

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Pawuli, Siluvanisi aTimoti, kumbungano yakuTesalonika muliLeza Taata aMwami Jesu Kkilisito. Lino luzyalo alumuno alube kulindinywe kuzwa kuliLeza Taata aMwami Jesu Kkilisito
2 We always give thanks to God for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
Lyoonse tupa kulumba kuliLeza kamulimoonse mbuli mbutumwaamba kwalyonse munkombyo zyesu.
3 unceasingly remembering your work of faith, and the labor of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,
Tulayeya kuti leza wesu aTaata kumulimu yalusyomo milimo yaluyando, ayabulindilizi mukulangilila muMwami Jesu Kkilisito.
4 having known, beloved brothers, by God, your [divine] selection,
Bakwesu nimuyandwa aLeza, tulizi wakamusala,
5 because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as you have known of what sort we became among you for your sake,
nkaambo majwi mabotu akasika kulindinywe pe pe mumajwi luzutu, pesi aalubo manguzu mumuuya usalala, mpawo amubwingi bwazisyomezyo. Aalubo, mulizi kuti twakali bantu balibyeni aakati kanu nkambo kanu.
6 and you became imitators of us and of the LORD, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Mwakaba basikwiya kulindiswe akumwami, nimwaka tambula majwi mumakataazyo alukondo kuzwa kumuya usalala.
7 so that you became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,
Mbuli mpindu, mwakaba chitondezyo kuli boonse baliku Masedoniya aKkayiya basyoma.
8 for from you has sounded forth the word of the LORD, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God went forth, so that we have no need to say anything,
Kuzwa kulindinywe jwi layMwami lyayitwa, mpo tee kuMasedoniya luzutu pe, akuKkayiya, pesi lusyomo kuliLeza lwakazulila koonse-koonse. Nkaambokako tatuyelede kwamba chintu kufumbwa.
9 for they themselves declare concerning us what entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,
Kuli mbabo lwabo kulangisisya ndiswe, kuti tulabulidilano nzi aakati kanu ambubakasanduka kuli Leza kuzwa kumuzimu kubelekela Leza wabwiini upona.
10 and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He raised out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.
Akulindila mwanakwe kuzwa kujulu, oyo wakabuka kuzwa kubafu - Jesu, unununa kuzwa kubukali buzakuza.
