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!

Paulusi, Silvanus, ni Timotea ku nkereke i vena Matesolonika mwe Ireza Ishetu ni Simwine Jesu Keresite. Chishemo ni nkozo zive nenwe.

2 We always give thanks to God 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 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,

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 having known, beloved brothers, by God, your [divine] selection,

Mizwale va sakiiwa kwa Ireza, twizi ku sumpwa kwenu,

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,

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 you became imitators of us and of the LORD, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,

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 you became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,

Ku mamani mani mu va sanduki mutala ku vonse mwa Sedoniya ni Achiya va zumina.

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,

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 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,

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 the heavens, whom He raised out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

Va viha kuti mu lindire Mwanakwe kuzwa kwi wulu, yava vuusi ku va fwire. Uzu nji Jesu, u lukulula iswe ku vukali vu kezite.
