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!
Paulo, Silwano na Timoteo mwikanisa Lya abatesalonike mu Nyamuanga Lata na Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo. Echigongo no mulengelesi bhibhibhi amwi nemwe.
2 We always give thanks to God 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 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,
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 having known, beloved brothers, by God, your [divine] selection,
Bhaili bhanu omwendwa na Nyamuanga, chimenyele okubhilikilwa kwemwe.
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,
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 you became imitators of us and of the LORD, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Mwaliga muli bhanu bho kuchilolelako eswe na Latabhugenyi, lwa kutyo mwagulamie omusango mu nyako mu kukondelelwa kunu okusoka mu Mwoyo Mwelu.
7 so that you became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,
Na mukubhonekana kwaye, nimubha chijejekanyo ku bhona mu Makedonia na Akaya mu bhanu abhekilisha.
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,
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 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,
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 the heavens, whom He raised out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.
Bhasosishe emisango ati mulindilie omwana wae okusoka Mulwile, unu asuluywe okusoka mubhafue. Mbe unu ni Yesu, unu kachisulumula okusoka mwisungu linu elija.
